Re: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus toolbar_entries

From the online help:

 

# Toolbar entries

#

# Apps like the file browser contribute a toolbar entry.

# This setting can control which toolbar entries are shown

# and for the most part also in which order.

#

# Format: Comma-separated list of entries.

#

# The special entry "*" adds all remaining available toolbar entries.

# An entry starting with "!" removes that item from the available entries.

# The order of the initial buttons "Home, Top Resources, Layouts"

# cannot be changed, but they can be suppressed by adding "!",

# for example "Home, !Top Resources, !Layouts"

#

# Examples:

#

# Default buttons, then all remaining available items:

#

#    Home, Top Resources, Layouts, *

#

# Default buttons, then assert that File Browser comes next:

#

#    Home, Top Resources, Layouts, File Browser, *

#

# Only Home and File Browser:

#

#    Home, !Top Resources, !Layouts, File Browser

toolbar_entries=Home, Top Resources, Layouts, File Browser, *

 

First note that you can only control the appearance of toolbar buttons that are contributed by apps.

The data browser contributes a “Data Browser” toolbar button, so you can show/hide that.

The log entry calendar likely doesn’t offer a toolbar button, so there’s nothing to hide, and no way to force it to show up since it doesn’t exist.

 

Add all the available options by ending the setting with “, *”

You can now see their name in the tool tip of each button, so hover your mouse over the button to get the name, then use that name in the toolbar_entries setting to control their order or hide some, but again you can’t create any that aren’t offered by the app.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus toolbar_entries

Dear Phoebus-Team,

I am customizing my Phoebus instance concerning the toolbar entries and I wanted to ask you, how I can find out the possible entries for this:

Currently I have the working entries:
org.phoebus.ui/toolbar_entries=Home, !Top Resources, !Layouts, File Browser, Data Browser, Send to Log Book

I wanted also:
Log Entry Calender, Log Entry Table, Preferences, About ...

But theses entries are not valid as it seems. I tried also the Application Name, e.g. logEntryCalender, but that did not work either.

Best regards,
Simon
