App menu bar

gcusello — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 13:51:43 GMT

Hi at all,

I don't know if someone else found this issue:

Using for the first time 9.3.0 version I tried to customize an app menu bar.

Then I found that if I try to use this app with my language (it-IT) it doesn't change; if instead I run it with the default english interface (en-US) it correctly runs.

Ciao.

Giuseppe

My custom default.xml isn't displayed at all in 9.3.0. I know it's being read because I changed the default view, and that's the view that loads when the app loads. ???

EDIT: I had named my test app localized_menu, and for reasons unknown to me right now, this broke menu customization.

Variations on this app name worked fine:

lauz_localized_menu
leaz_localized_menu
localzzz
localized_nav
localized_xxx
localizedxxx
mlocalized_menu

This appears to be a bug specific to apps named localized_menu or similar enough permutations, but I don't have a personal support account.

For now, though, I can test localization in a sanely named localized_nav app.

A simple test in a barebones app worked for me. After working though the app name bug (see above), I customized default.xml, and the menu is rendered in both en-US and it-IT locales. My browser locale remains US English, however, so I'm probably not sufficiently emulating your environment.

This was really bothering me ... and I isolated the cause to browser-local storage managed by SplunkWeb. Keys beginning with splunk-appnav cache nav menus, e.g.:

splunk-appnav:localized_nav:admin:en-US

{ "nav": [ { "label": "Localized Nav Dashboard", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/localized_nav_dashboard", "viewName": "localized_nav_dashboard", "isDefault": true }, { "label": "More...", "submenu": [ { "label": "Search", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/search", "viewName": "search" }, { "label": "Analytics", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/analytics_workspace", "viewName": "analytics_workspace" }, { "label": "Datasets", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/datasets", "viewName": "datasets" }, { "label": "Reports", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/reports", "viewName": "reports" }, { "label": "Alerts", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/alerts", "viewName": "alerts" }, { "label": "Dashboards", "uri": "/en-US/app/localized_nav/dashboards", "viewName": "dashboards" } ] } ], "color": "#ff0000", "label": "Localized Nav", "searchView": "search", "lastModified": 1725807491341 }

Switching locales generates a new cached menu under a new key:

splunk-appnav:localized_nav:admin:it-IT

If you're having issues with nav menus, you may be able to resolve them with one of the following:

Clear browser cache
Clear site cookies/storage (linked in Chromium-based browsers)
Clear local storage entries in browser dev tools

If you want to provide both en-US and it-IT translations in your app, check https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/AdvancedDev/TranslateSplunk for the localization process.
