Hi there,<\/p>\n
I’ve read your article about SSRS report manager branding from url –> https:\/\/spacefold.com\/lisa\/2010\/06\/28\/Quicker-branding-of- <\/a>What I want to ask is there any techniques to customize the breadcrumb link, so I can all the breadcrumb link flow, except the “Home”. I want to hide the “Home” breadcrumb link..<\/p>\n thanks<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Hmmm. I figured there might be some way to do this with CSS, so I verified with Octoni that s\/he is, in fact, using SSRS 2008 R2. (As you may recall, there are significant differences in the CSS between 2005\/2008 and 2008 R2\/2012.)<\/p>\n Then I took a look at the breadcrumbs in question, on my local\/vanilla SSRS 2008 R2 implementation, which looks something like this:<\/p>\n View<\/em>ing Source<\/em> for Report Manager shows me that we’re getting this line from a table, with the opening tag looking like this:<\/p>\n <table <\/span><\/span>class<\/span><\/span>=”msrs-topBreadcrumb” <\/span><\/span>cellpadding<\/span><\/span>=”0″ <\/span><\/span>cellspacing<\/span><\/span>=”0″ <\/span><\/span>border<\/span><\/span>=”0″ <\/span><\/span>width<\/span><\/span>=”100%”><\/span><\/p>\n … so I figured we might be able to do something with that msrs-topBreadcrumb class.<\/p>\n Sure enough, ReportingServices.css has a definition for that class as follows (remember, this file belongs to Report Manager and will be found somewhere like <MSSQLServer Location>\\<InstanceName>\\Reporting Services\\ReportManager\\Styles<\/strong>):<\/p>\n table.msrs-topBreadcrumb {background-color: #EBF3FF; … after dinking around with this for a while, I found that the following produced pretty good results in all browsers. My additions to the style are highlighted:<\/span><\/p>\n table.msrs-topBreadcrumb {margin-left:-55px;width:105%;<\/span> … as you can see here:<\/p>\n … and that’s about as good a way of doing it as I can think of, without rewriting the Report Manager UI.**<\/p>\n Caveats and further comments:<\/p>\n Good luck ! Let me know how it goes…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Octoni writes with an intriguing question: Hi there, I’ve read your article about SSRS report manager branding from url –> https:\/\/spacefold.com\/lisa\/2010\/06\/28\/Quicker-branding-of-SQL-Server-Report-Manager-2008-R2.

OTOH, once I did find the right margin value for my CSS, it did look reasonably good in different browsers and window sizes, and even at different zoom levels. <\/li>\n
Maybe s\/he just wants to make the breadcrumb trail neater since the “Home” breadcome is kind of redundant. Or maybe the folder names are long and s\/he doesn’t want to waste the space.<\/li>\n
**But then, some of us think<\/a> that you shouldn’t expose Report Manager to your users anyway. \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
