Are u using Web Page Composer? Would like to get ur feedback.

Dear Fellows,
Is anyone using Web Page Composer for prodution purpose yet? The point is I upgraded to NW04S SP 13 (specifically to install WPC) however its still buggy and not that user friendly.
I was hoping that most of the issues will be knocked out in NW04S SP14 and I applied SP14 on my sandbox environment but those issue still exist.
I intend to use it in my production server soon. May be I am missing something from my side; So is any of you using WPC successfully? If so, what release are you in?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak
I am involved in a project where we are using the WPC for content management on an external facing portal (soon to go-live), and I can share a bit of our experiences with the product.
In my opinion the product still has quite a few places for improvement:
- The procedure for creating new page layouts is (too) complicated and time-consuming.
- We have encountered a problem with the wpc connector when using the light framework page (seems to work fine with standard framework page as I recall from our tests).
- Errors from time to time when you edit a web page like others mention.
- Navigation does not work for anonymous users after restart of portal until an administrator has navigated through the content.
- You cannot set properties on the web page when editing the page, you only set properties for the content snippets (web forms), not the entire page. And because you search for the page, the attributes defines in the xml-file cannot be used in the search or elsewhere in the Flex UI. Actually you cannot use the properties you set on content snippet level to anything - else than giving some meta-information when editing the page.
- Plus more, but I have not been involved in it all.
We have had to make a lot of custom development because of lacking functionality, but some of that development is for sure because we use the External Facing Portal in our scenario.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

  • Removing links in a web page created using web page composer

    Hi there,
    I am creating web pages using Web page composer. I would like to remove the links Send Feedback, E-mail, Print, Add to Favorites, RSS. How can i achieve this?
    Your comments are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ponraj M

    To configure the functions of the page header you will have to wait for SP14.
    I guess to change the header for an SP13 you have to modify the pageheader.jsp. The page is part of the com.sap.nw.wpc.runtime.PageHeaderComponent.
    Please note that this modification is not supported by SAP!

  • Using Web Page Composer with Collaboration Rooms

    Hi,
    IS there any standart or non-standart way to use Web Page Composer within Collaboration Rooms?
    We Want Collaboration Room to have a Home Page prepared by Web Page Composer

    I would think that if you create an iview that encapsulates the web page as the help docs explain, then instead of adding the iview to a role or workset, you would add it to the collaboration room workset. Just like you could add any iview to the collaboration room workset.
    I have not tried this though.

  • Nested site navigation using Web Page Composer (WPC)

    Is it possible to nest navigation nodes using Web Page Composer?
    I have created a WPC site and added pages, but I am required to create a node with sub-pages (similar to adding a folder to a workset) for a site.
    Has anyone done this or know how to easily do this?  I do not want to maintain a separate WPC site (and corresponding workset folder) for each navigation node/group in the structure hierarchy.
    This is an example of what we are trying to accomplish in our navigation structure using a single WPC site:
    * Page 1
    * Page 2
    + Group 1
        * Page 3
        * Page 4
    + Group 2
        * Page 5
        * Page 6
    * Page 7
    Thanks in advance...
    Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

    Hi Angie,
    Could you please guide how to make the RSS link lists work in WPC, we do not receive any updates from external websites.

    Hi,
    now we have the tinyMCE editor, where you can insert and edit html-code. It works fine now for the layout,
    but there are still a few problems with the links..
    In the edit mode there are displayed all km images out of the km. But the images aren't displayed under the portal role, when i publish the page. And all the links like one to a wiki or the TBN links doesn't work, too.
    Can anybody help me further?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Portal themes and Web page composer

    Hi,
    I am wondering how applying portal themes would impact the views in Web Page composer based / created sites?
    We are trying to create new sites using web page composer tool but was wondering if simply applying portal themes solves our problems of display (colors etc).  I know that portal themes would not cover the layout of the pages but atleast we only have one other thing to solve.
    By the way was also wondering if I got the concept correctly. When an admin person applies a portal theme, the specific team he or she assignes to the users will be permanent for all the users under a role or group right?
    thanks in advance

    Well Alvin, logically the theme applied to portal should take over any content published using WPC. I remember during our implementation, we did not have to had any extra efforts for creating themes for WPC sites :-)...Also for your other question, as per the display rule applied, the theme will be applied to all the users under a group.

    Regards,
    Rahul.

    HI Rahul,
    As of now we can not include a Web Dynpro iView on the WPC page like other iViews.
    But you can try to create a URL iView from Web Dynpro application
    and then add that URL iView to your page.

  • Approval process in Web page composer

    Hi there,
    We are building static pages using web page composer and trying to implement the KM approval process for those static pages. Now my questions are:
    1. What should be the value I need to give for the folders for service permissions (Layout, collaboration,Full control etc...) for anonymous users
    2. What should be the value I need to give for the folders for service permissions (Layout, collaboration,Full control etc...) for users with approval authorities
    Your help is highly appreciated
    Regards,
    Ponraj M

    Hi,
    The approval process has nothing to do with the service permissions. It's regular permissions you should be concerned about, for example: If a user is a permissions owner of a folder then he will be able to skip the approval process or If a user has only read permissions then he will be able to view only approved documents.
    Best regards,

    Hi Paul,
    I am following the same document to implement the approval process for web page composer. When submit the wpc page for approval, its not going to the approers' UWL instead its getting published. End users are seeing the modifications on the wpc page.
    Am I missing any settings on the system to enable for workflow on the wpc page?
    P.S: I enabled approval process on the wpc page (settings->Approval->Enable Approval Process). After enabling the approval process, I see a button (Approval) coming up on the wpc page properties beside the "Publish" button in the design time. When I use this button to submit the wpc page for approval, the wpc page is not staged for approval.
    We are on EP7.0 EhP1 SP4.
    Please advice.
