Hi Shirli,

in case you have not found a solution yet and still want one: for some other reason i got interested in the shell too, and first thought, this one's solvable with a custom ShellHeadItem. It seems not, because ShellHeadItem has no own renderer, but gets rendered by the ShellHeader. So i tried a bit to find a workaround, here it is (see comments in code): http://jsfiddle.net/sok_/3nnwfouk/

Still note, it is a workaround, it relies on the current dom structure of the shell header + items, which might change.

I think, the "official way" would be to provide an own Header (there is a setter for a custom Header in the shell) that suits your needs.

best regards, Sophie.

PS: make sure you don't get arrested by the UI police 😉 as they seem not to have intended texts in the shell header....

Hi

I have tried your solution in the JSFiddle. But unfortunately i'm unable to get the text in the header. Its pointing an error as "oShell.getHeader is not a function". Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi Moulika,

might depend of the version of sapui5?

In my case it is sap.ui.version  "1.26.6"

You can also check the Shell object itself during runtime, or see the code directly at github openui5,

there you can see that shell uses itself the getHeader method.

https://github.com/SAP/openui5/blob/master/src/sap.ui.unified/src/sap/ui/unified/Shell.js

But as sapui5 currently evolves a lot (the different libraries), might be that in an older version the shell wasnt build like that?

best regards, Sophie.

HI Shirli

Based on JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.ui.unified.ShellHeadItem

You can't add text.

Hi Shirli,

please share you code for more insights.

You could use http://jsbin.com/?html,output for sharing your code. Following template could be enhanced with your code.



<!DOCTYPE HTML>


<html>


    <head>


        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">




        <script src="https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/resources/sap-ui-core.js"


                id="sap-ui-bootstrap"


                data-sap-ui-libs="sap.ui.commons, sap.m"


                data-sap-ui-theme="sap_goldreflection">


        </script>


        <!-- add sap.ui.table,sap.ui.ux3 and/or other libraries to 'data-sap-ui-libs' if required -->




        <script>




        <!-- your code goes here -->            


          


        </script>




    </head>


    <body class="sapUiBody" role="application">


        <div id="content"></div>


    </body>


</html>

Hi Shirli,

Dennis already pointed to the documentation. It is not possible to add text.

If you try to describe a little more in detail, what you are trying to achive, there might be another solution.

Stefan
