So I created an app with a custom navbar. I added the dashboard.css and application.css to the app, and works fine for all the elements in my navbar. The problem is, if I choose the "basic" item from the navbar, like Search, Pivot, Dashboards, .. etc, the CSS is not applied, and the design is reverted to the default splunk design.
How can I fix this ?
Have you tried using the User Navigation within Splunk?
If not this can achieve want you want to, have a look here and download the pdf:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/AdvancedDev/BuildNavigation
You will have something like:
<nav search_view="search" color="#FF0000">
<view name="search" default='true' />
<collection label="Default">
<view name="dashboards" />
<view name="alerts" />
<view name="reports" />
</collection>
<view name="link1"/>
<view name="link2" />
<view name="lin3" />
</nav>
This is just the color of the navbar, but in my CSS I'm using several other selectors as well.
it's not just the colour it also sets out the menu items, and the sub menu's, it will work without the colour:
<nav search_view="search">
<view name="search" default='true' />
<collection label="Default">
<view name="dashboards" />
<view name="alerts" />
<view name="reports" />
</collection label="Custom">
<view name="link1"/>
<view name="link2" />
<view name="lin3" />
</nav>
What are your other selectors?
So you have custom CSS which has added on some more links across the top next to the usual ones?
e.g.
Search, Alert, Report, Dashboard, customlink1, customlink2
Yes, actually the usual ones are in a dropdown, and there are some custom ones. The CSS works with all the custom ones, but not with the usuals
