How to customize mode_show_about in a custom portlet?

I have created a custom PL/SQL portlet. I have set the has_help flag to true
and have created a page under the p_portlet_record.exec_mode =
wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_HELP. When you click on the help link from the
portlet header, the page that you go to doesn't have the same look or feel as
the previous portal page. For example, my custom logo is not showing nor are
the banner colors correct, the default Oracle logo and deafulat banner colors
are appearing. How can I modify the help page so that it has the same look
and feel as my other pages? Additionally, how can I have the help link open up
in a pop-up window so that it is not full screen?
Thanks.

Hi Per A Jorgensen,
I see what you mean. I just deployed a simple portlet which displays the user-agent header property.
Here are my observations:
1. If you access the page as user1 from Mozilla, I see the following:
Browser Agent:      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3
2. If I now access this page from IE, as user1, then I still see my browser agent as:
Browser Agent:      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3
3. If I now access this page from IE, as user2, then i see the following details:
Browser Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3
4. Now I access the same page from Mozilla (after logging out of user1) as user2, I see the following:
Browser Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3 RPT-HTTPClient/0.3-3
Hmm.. interesting.. it looks like, whoever access the provider first, fixes the user-agent. I need to investigate more into it to find out information as to why this is happening.
In the mean-time, you can be rest assured that as long as you dont have multiple user's accessing the portlet as the same user, you will get the correct information.
thanks,
Harsha

    Which business layer is prefered to create interactive data model: 1. ADF business components or 2. Enterprise JavaBeans using Java persistance API (JPA) or 3. Toplink 4. Portlets
    which minimizes writing low level codes and how much OOPS knowledge is required for creating above business layer binding data to viewcontroller layer?

  • CUSTOM PORTLET HEADER/FOOTER

    I need to create custom portlet containers, with custom header, footer and border.(Specifically I need rounded edges without the border.) The portal style editor supports header customization only, which is not enough in my case. Is my path to follow to create my own ContainerRenderer (subclassing DefaultContainerRenderer) and to overwrite renderShowHeader() and renderShowFooter() to staisfy my needs? If I do this, how would I render the minimize, customize, etc links in my own header? If I have third party portlets, I can set their providers to use my container renderer, but I am not sure about the effects of it (eg: the third party provider can't use custom containerrenderer). What other restirictions do I introduce with this solution? Are there any other ways to get the same effect?

    Jens is referring to the PL/SQL API

  • How to Customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report

    Hi,
    I've been trying to customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report.
    First i followed the instructions in Note:183131.1 -
    How to Customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report
    But of course the OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL in this solution did not work (in a portlet) and i found the metalink document 228620.1 which described how to fix it.
    So i followed the "fix" in the document above and now my output is,..
    "Portlet 38,70711 responded with content-type text/plain when the client was requesting content-type text/html"
    So i search in Metalink for the above and come up with,...
    Bug 3548276 PORTLET X,Y RESPONDED WITH CONTENT-TYPE TEXT/PLAIN INSTEAD OF TEXT/HTML
    And i've read it and read it and read it and read it and can't make heads or tails of what it's saying.
    Every "solution" seems to cause another problem that i have to fix. And all i want to do is customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report. Please,...does anyone know how to do this?

    My guess is that it only shows the number of rows it has retrieved. I believe the defailt is for it to only retrieve 50 rows and as you page through your report it retrieves more. So this would just tell you how many rows was retireved, but probably not how many rows the report would contain if you pages to the end. Oracle doesn't really have a notion of total number of rows until the whole result set has been materialized.

  • How  to grow the report of customer's openitem with sales order

    How  to grow the report of customer's open item with sales order?
    Now we can get the customer's open item with invoice No easily,but our end user need the the customer's open item also with sales order .And because a invoice to multi sales orders. I can do nothing.
    Now I have a idea that a develivey No with one sales order , and one invoice with a sales order's develivery ,then one inovice to one sales order .  I want to  know if other company have use this idea. Or have other solution for my problem.

    Hi Yuzhou Yang ,
      Yes you are right. In FI transaction you can get the sales invoice wise , reference field of the header data.
      As you are aware that while creating a sales order , no FI entry is generated.
      In my opinion you can get the required report through customization.
    Thanks

  • How do you restrict access to custom applications?

    When I create portlets, there is usually an associated "admin" functionality that needs to be created for each custom application. An example is a shopping cart that we just created, we needed admins to be able to go in and upload photos.
    The way that I do this is I create a new portlet "Shopping Cart Admin" and restrict access to it that way. However, because I usually add everything in the /remoteserver/shoppingcart/. folder to the gateway space (its too painful to add one by one), this means that I can't put admin.aspx in that folder. So I usually end up creating a NEW folder /remoteserver/shoppingcartadmin/ for the admin portlet.
    Long story short, its a lot of work. I know that I could try to use activity rights, but those seem very global. How do you control edit access to your custom portlets?

    Well, there are a few different ways to go about it. You could add a preferences page with the admin functionality, and then an admin would just have to click the little pencil in the portlet titlebar. No admin/edit access, no little pencil.
    I have often set the visibility of an ASPX control directly from activity rights, in OnPageLoad, if it isn't postback time. The activity rights should be inherited by the user, through the user's group. Best practise is to create empty groups called Roles, add activity rights to the Roles, and then have the actual groups (that contain users) inherit from one or more Roles.
    You already knew that part, I added it for the others. My personal definition of a portlet is 'polymorphous instance of a web service'.
    So:
    Role: Store Manager (has Edit Shopping Cart activity right)
    ^
    Group: Store Managers (has Store Manager parent group)
    User: Vladimir (inherits Edit Shopping Cart activity right)

  • How to customize purchase order smartform BBP_PO in SAP SRM 7.0?

    Hi friends,
    I am new to SAP, as well as to SRM world. Currently I have a object with me from purchase order smartform in SRM. My job is to copy the standard PO form named BBP_PO into "Z" form and to make customizations in the copied one. I don't have idea about how to proceed with it. Please give me some idea about required processing classes, methods, BADI's, FM's etc,.. Can anyone please tell me how to do this job? I am a fresher so if you help me in this means, it would be very helpful for me and for my future.
    Thanks and regards,
    Siva

    Hello Siva,
    I searched and found the below steps ...
    why dont you try the same !
    How to customize an existing Standard Smart form in SRM - Overview.
    1. Copy existing Standard smart form in SRM, let us say, BBP_PO into "Z'' Smart form in Transaction SMARTFORMS.
    2. Do changes in Z Smart form add Desired Logos in Smart form using SE78 and SMARTFORMS transactions.
    3. Change in Jargon: Unlike ECC we will not have Driver program (in SE38), you will find Processing class and Processing method ( in SE24) for SRM Smart forms, where we write extraction logic.
    4. So, In case of SRM we should replace the (word) "Driver Program" with (the word) "Processing Class" and Perform as "Processing Method".
    5.Where to Link: Processing Class, Processing Method and Smart form? In SPRO, SRM Server -> Cross Apps -> Set Output Actions and Output Format -> Define Actions for Purchase Order Output -> Action definition -> Processing types, then select standard PO.
    6. If we are using (Completely- New) Custom Smart Form instead of Changing Standard Smartform, then Do change any settings in Step5, Otherwise, if you are planned to modify existing Smartform, with Small logic changes, format changes and Logo Changes then, Just Implement BADI - BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF in SE19 transaction.
    7. Put a simple code  in BADI as... CASE IV_OBJECT_TYPE.
    When  'BUS2201' .
       CV_SMARTFORM = 'Z_CustomSF'.
    ENDCASE
    8. Don't forget, you already copied Std Smartform into Custom Smartform say Z_CustomSF.
    9. I am using BUS2201 only becuase I was trying to change BBP_PO Smartform which is a Purchase Order Smartform.
    Hope this helps!
