Custom html elements in the portal pages output rendering.

Hi,
This is regarding branding the site. Since we have to use common css for all web applications, the html output rendered by the AquaLogic doesn't give the required style.
AquaLogic generates html table elements for pages, columns, headers, footer etc. But we need <div> tags instead of 'table' & 'td' tags. If this is not possible 'table' EMBEDDED inside 'div' will also help us.
See for example DIV tag is placed (see 2nd line in given html) around the columns
<br><br>
(td class="columnOne") -
<br>
(DIV ID="columnNarrowWide") -
<br>
(table class="portletBase" id="pt-portlet-252")
===========================================
We tried to implement solution using Dynamic Discovery. But we couldn't identify how to do this. Can somone let me know the best possible way to do this ASAP.
<br><br>
Thanks,<br>

Some of your post was garbled due to HTML-escaping issues, but I think what you're asking is for a DIV-based layout rather than that TABLE-based layout for MyPages and Communities.
One of our customers asked us for exactly the same thing and I'm working with an on-site designer to come up with something DIV-based. If it's possible, it's going to require extensive customizations to MyPortalContentView.java or MyPortalContentView.cs (if you're on .net). Using dynamic discovery (more specifically, View Replacement) is the way to go, but this task is a bit daunting, even for me (and I've been working with Plum/ALUI for almost ten years).
If I can get something working, I promise to post a solution on [url http://dev2dev.bea.com/blog/bucchere]my dev2dev blog.
In the meantime, if you want to attempt this yourself, edoc has a [url http://edocs.bea.com/alui/devdoc/docs60/Customizing_the_Portal_UI/Using_View_Replacement/PlumtreeDevDoc_Customizing_View_Intro.htm]guide to View Replacement that walks you through the process for both Java and .NET portals.

Include lang attribute in html tag of all portal pages

Hi, anyone knows how is possible to include the lang in the portal pages?
Now all pages begin with <html> but I need <html lang="es">.
Where can I update that?
I mean that is done by some portal service or perhaps with a file.
all suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advanced.

The Javascript source URI has the value "RES_NOT_FOUND".
If I try to access it using ".../faces/javax.faces.resource/javascript.js?ln=js" I get a blank page (contains a Html and Body only).
If I try to access it using ".../faces/resources/js/javascript.js" I can download the javascript file from the taglib.
If I manually copy the javascript.js file from the taglib into the enclosing project and save it in "resource/js", then the javascript source URI is resolved correctly to ".../faces/javax.faces.resource/javascript.js?ln=js" and I can downloaded it, but then it is the local copy and not the one from the taglib jar.
Do I need some specific configuration in web.xml or other deployment descriptors, to be able to use "javax.faces.resource"?
The only configurations whoch smells like "javax.faces.resource" is this context param: javax.faces.FACELETS_RESOURCE_RESOLVER=oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.facelets.rich.AdfFaceletsResourceResolver
In web.xml various "resource" servlets is defined (I'm not sure whether I need them, JDeveloper has created them automatically):
a) resources = org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.ResourceServlet, maps to: /adf/*, /afr/*, /bi/*
b) adflibResources = oracle.adf.library.webapp.ResourceServlet, maps to: /adflib/*
I appreciate your help.

Some elements on the master page move from page to page. What did I do wrong?

I can't figure out how to solve my problem.
The location of the logo and menu (which are on my master page) is correct on the homepage: http://psychocegep.com/
However, the those elements move when I go on another page. It is even more annoying on this page : http://psychocegep.com/matiere.html
In fact, the whole page goes down and it creates a blank space at the very top.
The problem does not occur on my iMac computer, but is present on every other computer.
What should I do to keep the logo and the menu static?

Hello,
Could you please check if it happens when you preview the site in a web browser via Adobe Muse?
Do you have Menu added on a Master page or on the page itself?
Please check if some of the element on the page (http://psychocegep.com/matiere.html) has been marked as footer which might be creating issues.

Sachin

How to get the Portal Page name from PLSQL?

Can anyone tell me how to get the portal page name from my dynamic page using plsql?
Apparently you can get the page id and work it out from there, but my calls to get the page id are not returning any values anyway.
My code for attempting to get the page id is below.
<oracle>
declare
v_pageid varchar2(30);
begin
v_pageid := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid', '/pls/portal30');
htp.print('Page is '|| v_pageid);
end;
</oracle>
Ideally I'd actually just like to get the page name. Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

Few clarifications -
1. wwpro_api_parameters cannot be used to get default portal
page parameters such as '_pageid', '_dad', '_schema' etc.,
2. Page information can be obtained through any components which
are available in that particular page. For example, in case of
dynamic page, we need to publish it as a portlet and add it to the
page. This process creates necessary packages in the DB, but we
will not have access to the portlet methods.
So, I would prefer creating a simple DB provider & portlet and access
page title from its show method as follows -
//Declare local variable l_page_id, l_page_title as varchar2
select page_id into l_page_id from wwpob_portlet_instance$ where
portlet_id = p_portlet_record.portlet_id and
provider_id = p_portlet_record.provider_id;
select name into l_page_title from wwpob_page$ where id=l_page_id;
More information on DB provider can be found at
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/understanding.database.providers.html
Secondly, usage of wwpro_api_parameters.get_value method is
incorrect. This method expects two arguments -
<ul>
<li><b>p_name : </b> The name of the parameter to be returned.</li>
<li><b>p_reference_path : </b> An unique identifier for a portlet instance on the current page.</li>
</ul>
p_reference_path would be something like 99_SNOOP_PORTLET_76535103 and not some type of path as its name suggests.
The following code fragment fetches all parameters available
for a portlet.
Note : Copy this code into 'show' method of your portlet.
//Declare l_names, l_values as owa.vc_arr
* Retreive all of the names of parameters for this portlet
l_names := wwpro_api_parameters.get_names(
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
* Retreive all of the values of parameters for this portlet
l_values := wwpro_api_parameters.get_values(p_names=>l_names,
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
//Loop through these arrays to get parameter information
htp.p('<center><table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="90%" >');
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Name',1));
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Value',1));
htp.tableRowClose;
if l_names.count = 0 then
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.p('<td COLSPAN="2">'
||wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
'No portlet parameters were passed on the URL.',1)
||'</td>');
htp.tableRowClose;
else
for i in 1..l_names.count loop
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(l_names(i));
htp.tableData(l_values(i));
htp.tableRowClose;
end loop;
end if;
htp.p('</table></center>');
Hope it helps...

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.

What is the Web Dynpro tab on the portal page?

Newbie here...
I am confused between NDWS and the Web Dynpro tab on the portal page. As I don't have access to either right now, I need to know what is required by a Portal Content Admin to maintain an application. The Basis people do the JCO setup. Those are the only tabs I have seen when using the Web Dynpro tab from the portal, not NDWS. Seeing as I don't have access to either tool, and I have to ask for what I need and I don't know what I need... Been there?
I guess my question is the use of the two tools.
Thanks,
Amy Smith
Haworth, Inc.

Thanks so much for a quick response!
So, the Web Dynpro Content Admin is normally a part of the content admin role. Hmm... I get a "you are not authorized" when I click that tab, even though I can do iViews, etc. and was told I have the content admin role. So if no one edited the rights of the content admin, I should be able to get into Web Dynpro Content Admin tool. Is this so? Is there any special user config, check box, etc in addition to the role?
Is the Dynpro content admin tool useful for content admins or content developers?
My Basis person does not want the content admin to be able to change JCO settings. Is there a way to give the content admin rights to everything in the WDCA except that?
Thanks again. I am a J2EE developer who volunteered to take content admin and content development roles and am trying to figure out what has been done here and what needs to be done. On top of that anyone who has been involved claims "I know nothing..." until I ask specific questions. It's just hard to know what the specific questions are.
I know, training... No money. Sigh... I am good at doing tutorials and reading manuals and experimenting, however, I need access to the right tools and permissions first.
Thanks again.

Error when trying to run UCM from browser -The portal page for your Content

Hi
When I try and run the UCM in a browser using "http://localhost/idc", it showing
"The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
I did see a previous message that says to go to Weblayout Editor Applet - Options - Build Home Page - Update -Ok, but I was not able to see the Build Home Page option in the drop down.
Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
Sylvia

Hi Srinath
Thanks for your reply.
Commenting out the following lines still does not fix my problem.
<div align=center><b>Welcome to UCM10g for SIF DEV</b></div><br>
     <$if IsLoggedIn$>UserName = <i><$UserName$></i><br><$endif$>
     <$if IsDynamic$>Current Time = <i><$dateCurrent()$></i>
     <$else$>This is a static page.
     <$endif$>
I have installed this product on two environments following the same kind format.
In our dev environment I am able to type in the following to get to the Welcome to Content Server Page
http://devenv/idc/
In the other environment I use the following and I get that the error "The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
http://testenv/idc
So the only way to get to the Content Server Page is to type the full path as below which I don't want to do, because I want the welcome screen to appear first.
https://testenv/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet
Is there a way I can configure the application to get to my welcome screen instead of getting the error message detailed above?
Thanks
Sylvia

Can you control the Discoverer Portlet Size on the Portal Page?

I have a Portal Page and I need the ability to control the Portlet size. The width seems to take on the dimensions defined for the region, but how do you control the dimension for the depth/length. Thanks.

The size of the container is controlled by the Portal Page author through Portal, not the Discoverer Portlet. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to control this and it may be different from 9.0.2 to 9.0.4 (not sure which version you are using). You can check on the Portal forum.

Customer Service application on the Portal

Hello all,
I want to implement a customer service application in the Portal, Is there any business package for this?
We are using notifications in the CS module on our R/3 and want to make it available on the enterprise portal.
Lots of thanks,
Ron Lampel.

Hi Ron,
I don't know about CS BP, but if you want to use it in portal than there are two ways for that.
1. You can create transaction iview in Portal to use the same.
2. You can create a WebDynpro application for the same and used it in portal by creating WebDynpro iView in portal.
You will find lots of documents for both the methods.
Let me know if you need more information.
Regards,

Reset the Portal Page

Hi,
I am Raja Sekhar Chintapalli,
I am pretty new to Weblogic Portal development, Can some one help me out if there is any way I can reset the user customizations to the default portal page . I need it to the page only but not to the entire desk top.
At present we are using REST API to reset the Desktop, but I need to know if there is any way to reset only the portal page rather than the Desktop.
Thanks in advance..

How to remove HTML comments at the end of the portal page

I've noticed that even if you turn off performance comments, some code in the portal UI still sticks this:

Does anyone know how I can suppress these comments?

Are you using GB 10.0.2 as well?
I am using both - GarageBand 10.0.2 and GarageBand '11.
And if I deselect all regions, File - Add Region to loop library is of course greyed out. Is it possible to save multiple tracks as a loop?
No.
Yep, I've deselected all regions. Still no luck.
My answer above was in answer to your "This time GB felt I only needed the first 4 measures of the song, even though I defined an entire Region over the length of the song and selected everything with Ctrl-A..."
You should be able to export the complete song, if you deselect all regions, and select all of the song using the cycle region with "Export Cycle region only" enabled, or with "Export Cycle region only" disabled, nothing selected, and the end-of-song marker correctly set.
However, this will not get rid of the trailing empty bars.
Reimport the bounced song to a new Ringtone project and trim it and save it as a tone, or to a regular project and add it to the Loop Library.
Find the AIFF file of the loop in the Loop library - it will be installed in your User Library in your Home folder
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles/

How to display custom forms or reports on portal pages?

Hi friends
I am new to Portal. I knew that we can create forms and reports in portal.
But how can i display a custom form ( ex: employee.fmb) on a portal page?
Thanks
Ravi

Are you meaning Oracle Forms Module and Oracle Reports?
If so
please check the following
Reports
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_15/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_conf.htm#sthref494
Forms (you can only invoke forms using the SSO)
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_02/doc/dl/web/B14032_02/security.htm#sthref42
Otherwise you can create your custom HTML form and report using the following technologies:

Portal form custom button to call new portal page

Portal 3.0.9
I can create a portal form componment which sets session variables appropriately based on a custom button. I can get a 2nd component such as a report to read this session variable ok as long as it on the SAME portal page.
However, how do I get the form (exposed as a portlet on a page) to call A DIFFERENT Portal page which contains a number of application components reading the previously set session variable? I do not want to call the module directly as it will appear in a popup window.
I've tried using owa_util.redirect_url('page url'); but this gets ignored and the same page is refreshed.
Any ideas?
John

Hi,
You can call the new page in the success procedure of the form
example
declare
l_url varchar2(2000);
begin
l_url := 'cut and paste the page link from the navigator';
go(l_url);
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila
