Easy way adding javascript to portal pages?!?

Hi,
I know (because I've tested it) that I can put some java script into portal pages. It's easy to use them as javascript functins, but if I try to use tag to get some data from base... it's doesn't work and generate some errors...
Please help me!

I know that easier is adding script functions as portal functions/procedures... but HOW can I add characters like " ' " inside htp.p(' '); ??? Is it POSSIBLE or NOT? maybe some other characters are required before (if I dont want to use this inside ' ' as oracle variable, but javascript variable ???

Doctype added to top of portal page

Does anyone know how to get a doctype to output at the top of a portal page (we are on the 7.3 portal)? I have an external facing site that absolutely needs a doctype specified.
You used to be able to use the deprecated
PortalHtmlResponse.getHtmlDocument()
method to get a reference to the document, and you could add a doctype from that. However, the PortalHtmlResponse object no longer exists, it seems.
I want to add the doctype
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
at the top of a portal page.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/001bfa1a-958e-2e10-c2be-d914f673e21e?overridelayout=true
We were able to add a doctype. I don't recall all of the details because we moved away from SAP portal. However, you can get a good start from this document.
Essentially, you create a Java portal component that can inject a doctype into any page the component is on.
com.sapconsulting.portal.utils.html_api.jar is what provides the base functionality to do this.
public class DocType extends AbstractPortalComponent
     public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
          EnhancedPortalResponse epResponse = new EnhancedPortalResponse(request, true, false);
          epResponse.setDocTypeToHtml5();
          epResponse.include(HtmlFactory.createHttpEquivMeta("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=edge"));
If I remember correctly, we packaged this code up with an Xml config file to make the portal component, installed it in the portal, and included it in any page that needed the document type set.
I believe the jar file was just open source community code.

Publishing content from reports server to a portal page

I have a system with Forms/Reports 6i in a client/server implementation. I have 6i reports server from this on the server tier. I have added 9iAS (minimal install) to get Portal and HTTP server. I have completed the configuration and I can have the portal page submit jobs to the reports server and they are displayed properly.
But I also wish to run reports from the application. This app submits jobs to the reports server via RWCLI60. I was hoping I could use 'File' as the destype and drop off content into a directory the web server knows about and then have a portal page that will generate links to the files. These could be pdf or html output.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and provide a short list of steps to configure it? Thanks.

there is an example of this on dev2dev, see sample code, "redirect" example

How to change one iView to another in portal page by clicking the third one

Hi all!
I have created four iViews: two speedometers with web application designer and two iViews with visual composer. I added the speedometers and a visual composer iView #1 to a portal page (default view). The requirement is that by clicking the speedometer #2, the visual composer iView #2 would replace visual composer iView #1 on the portal page. If the user then would select the speedometer #1 again by clicking it, visual composer iView #2 would replace #1 again and so on.
I have read article http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50b65a5d-f397-2910-a78a-f5544f21c33b?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true, but it is more about filtering VC iView values with BI web items. I don't need to filter anything, just to change one iView to another in a portal view by clicking a third one.
I have thought of placing two VC iView to a same portal page area and defining one of the to be visible and another hidden (by clicking speedometers these properties would change), but I haven't found the way how that could be done in portal. Is there a way to define some OnClick-method to change visibility parameters or url-address of another iView?
One solution might be¨on the other hand to transfer any value to VC by clicking a speedometer and to change the visibility of the VC iViews according to that value (the speedometer #1 should in that case transfer other value to VC than speedometer #2). I don't know if that is possible with speedometers - you can't reference any characteristics or variables with it.
If you have an idea, what would be the best way to accomplish this requirement, I would be very glad to hear about it! We are in VC 7.0.
Points garanteed!
Regards
Sari

Hi,
In the portal, create a page and place the iView having the three input fields on top. Place the second iView below. Keep differing the second iView for every page. In this way you can make the iView with 3 input fields only in the desired pages. You can use EPCF to invoke / navigate to another iView.

Portal Applications in Portal Page

In the newest version of Portal (Oracle9ias Portal Release 2) I'm having the following problem:
I have a Portal form that I created in Portal. I want to add that Portal form as a portlet in a Portal Page. I can add the Portal Form successfully into the page if I add the form as a 'Item Displayed Directly In Page Area'. However, if I chose the display as a 'Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window ' or 'Link That Displays Item In Full Browser Window', no link appears. In past versions if I selected this option a link would appear in the page that took me to the Portal Form. In this new version, the portlet is added but the link is invisible??? Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing???

Hi,
This is a bug. It has already been filed.
Thanks,
Sharmila

ReturnToPortal() doesn't refresh the portal page

In the community preference page, when finishing changing the preference, calling IPortletResponse.ReturnToPortal() closed the preference page but didn't refresh the portal page. What needs to be done to refresh the portal page so the portlet can be refreshed with the new pref data?
ALUI 6.1MP1.
TIA!

This is why it doesn't work...
There is a bug that I filed for this, basically that icon on the portlet header works for user and admin preferences... it make sense to add community preferences there too to make it all consistent.
The problem is: community preferences behaved differently.. in 5.x, the only way to edit them was to go through edit this community... the refresh mechanism is built into the community editor.
In g6 that didn't change... you still need to go through that route to actually update the portal with the new preferences. going through the icon does nothing. user and admin prefs will work b/c they also worked like that in 5.x.
Basically, it's a bug b/c community prefs never worked like that... adding it to the button promoted the sense that it should work, which it never did...
so you have to go through the edit this community route to make it refresh.

Link in xml form article text to open another portal page?

Like in all websites our intranet have pages with articles (xml forms) where it's logical for the text to include links to other articles in other areas of the portal.
Since all iviews (km navigation in this case) are displayed as iframes, links within the text only lead to the target page being displayed within the iview/iframe. I need the complete portal page to change to also show where in the page hierachy/navigation structure the user has landed.
I am aware of the related links iview, but this doesn't do the trick. I want the article text itself to include the links.
A logical solution would be to find the page's navigation URL and use this as a text link, but then I would need to add a target=_top to change the whole page around. This is not possible within a xml form. (<a href="/irj/portal?NavigationTarget= navurl://cf1c773631c70d216fe3434ca4dc3a0e" target="_top")
Ideas?
Henning

Thanks for answer. Points awarded.
BUT: Still, a link to http://server/irj/portal/link added in the html editor window of an xml form only give the options of opening the link in new browser, or in the active window. The first option results in a massive amount of opened browsers, the second results in the target page being opened in the iframe (not nice!)
Of course I could edit the xml directly adding a target=_top, but every new editing of this file would overwrite these changes.
The best way would be to add a new option in the html editor allowing an option of "fill entire window" when adding a text link that adds target=_top in the xml.
Ideas?

Why editing iview id break the delta link in the portal page?

For some reason, everytime I edit the iview id, the delta link in the page will be broken.
After I changed the iview id, the iview id that I added as delta link in portal page remain same, and seems like become a separate copy , rather than the original delta link.
This frustracted me as I have to remove the old iview , and add the new edited iview into the page again.
Why is this happen? (I am very sure I didn't accidentally add the iview as copy, instead of delta link)
By the way, I am in NW04s SP9.
Thanks for help.
Kent

Hi Kent,
> (I am very sure I didn't accidentally
> add the iview as copy, instead of delta link)
The wording "I am very sure" points to the fact that you didn't really check and re-try it?!
I just checked it on NW04 / SPS18 (which corresponds to SP09 on NW2004s) - and it works like a charme. The delta-link on the test page points to the new ID (as the ID-Change-Wizard announces it).
As I have no 2004s installation at hand, I would suggest really to re-check if you are really talking of a delta-link. If it really doesn't work on SP09 while it works on SP18 in parallel, you would have to open an OSS message. Anyhow, this really should behave analogously...
Hope it helps

Regarding customization of portal page

Hi
any body suggest me how to change look and feel of a particular page in the portal.
thanks
sekhar.

Hi Sekhar,
The look and feel of any portal page can be changed by the Portal Themes i.e at System Admin->Portal Display->Theme Editor,where all the exterior changes like colours, themes and images can be done.
Bt when u want to add any extra link,change the welcome message, or change the way ur portal page looks to end users,u need to change the com.sap.portals.navigation.masthead.par file available at
ROOT\portalapps. Create a project with the parfile in NWDS under Portal INF we hav 4 jsp files,
We have headeriview.jsp which is the file containing the functions for the portal login page.we also hav UMElogon.jsp page. Change the jsp code for editing your page. Adding a new link,popup come message.etc..
Now after editing the login page rename the par file with teh same name (com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead )from the Project we created at NWDS.
Go to System Admin->support ->Portal Runtime->Application Console->upload ur parfile and then the changes will be displayed at ur loginpage..
PS:test the code properly before uploading par file at PRT

Shaila

Form does not show up after been put in portal page

I have created form application and tested it in 9iAS but when I put it in Portal page, It does not show up in the Portal page. The report that I created under the same Application does show up. However, it does not show the form. I have check the Access and everything looks right. (I even grant it to the public and still does not work).
Any help would be appreciated.

Johnny,
This looks strange. We haven't encountered such problem. Could you pls give us more details. Like:
Are you using "Inherit Privilege from Application" ?
Are you using Tab page/ Normal Page.
If tab pages, have you set tab level security?
Are you able to run that particular form from application? (Pls check it has a Valid production version).
Are both forms & reports in the same application?
Is this problem occuring for only a particular form or for all the forms?
If you could provide the STEPS that you did..
Thanx,
Chetan.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Chetan and Johnny,
I have the same problem as Johnny. Chetan, in answer to your questions:
1. Yes, I am using "Inherit Privilege from Application"
2. I tried it both on a page and on a tab and checked security, following the directions in "Building Portals, Release 3.0.8" Using "Portal30" login, access "Manage" etc.
3. Yes, the form runs in Application, but not as a portlet on a portal page. We are using the standard demo configuration, Oracle 8i (enterprise ed.) and Oracle9i Application Server (minimal ed.).
4. Yes, valid production version.
5. I tried running reports and forms from same application and from different applications. Still does not show up on portal page.
6. It occurs for all forms.
7. Steps: As I indicated, I followed the directions closely in "Building Portals" which builds "Form based on table or view", "Publish to Portal" I even tried the database sequence (see page 4-27) and added that to the form configuration. I'm running it on NT 4.0 (service pack 5). The software was downloaded from the Oracle site.

How to load use an image library in the portal pages

Hi,
How to load an image library in the portal ? Do I need to load images in an Apache directory and access them via URLs, or do I need to upload images to a specific portal page, and access these images via specific URL ?
Thanks for your help,
Jean-Christophe

Another easy method is to create a dedicated page in Portal and use it for the storage of images, flash objects.
Load the images as item type FILE and use the 'direct access' method (HOST:PORT/pls/<DAD>/docs/PAGE/<PG NAME>/<PAGE_NAME>/IMAGE.GIF)to access the file from a URL command.
This way all your images are protected in the database, easy to add and find (via search or by adding descriptions, categories etc) via role based security and in theory should be quicker to access (via the URL) due to the indexing capabilities of the database.
Place the images in a location that is not going to cause a page navigation issue such as in its own Page Group or as sibling page to your top level parent page etc.
Hope this helps.
John

Portal Page

1. There is minimum customization I can do with portal page by adding a HTML Portlet and writing my own html tags to the content area. I would like to know where the page resides, so I can access the source code and customize the whole page to my needs.
null

With the upcoming 3.0.8 release of Portal (shipped as part of 9iAS 1.0.2.1), we will be providing the new feature of "page templates" that will allow you to further customize not only the HTML body, but also the HTML header code of a portal page. It will work very much in the same way as page templates currently do within Portal Application components (charts, forms, reports, etc..)
The code (metadata, page tags, etc) for a portal page reside in the portal repository within the database. We provide many declarative facilities (portlets, page styles, page layouts, 3.0.8 page templates, etc..) and the PDK that will allow you to customize and tune your portal pages as you please.
