How to make top level navigation not refresh

Hello Guys,
I have a question concerning on my External Facing Portal, my boss wants that when I click on a tab or a link in the Top Level Navigation , to load the content in the Content Area without refreshing the whole page, What I want is that when I click on a tab or link of the Top Level Navigation , the Top Level Navigation and the MasterHead not to refresh and that the content be loaded and refreshed only in the Content Area. The only way I know to do this is by making a frameset of my page and to make the masterhead and toplevel navigation a frame and the detalied navigation a frame and the content area a frame, and in the links to put the target property to the name of the content area frame, but I don't know if this is possible to do in the portal, I see that all is embedded and I don't know how to make a frameset like this in the portal.
Any highlights to solve this will sure be appreciated.
Thanks
Rewarding points will be given.

Hi,
When you are implementing External Facing Portal, i think you have used Light Framework Page. In Light Framework Page, only one Framework has been used, so when you click on the top level navigation, the whole page will get refresh, so there is no otherway as of my knowledge. If you use standard framework page in portal, it is possible to do (i.e. the content area only get refresh) and the concept of your External Facing Portal is eliminated here.

undo the changes what you have done.
after you logon to the portal try the url below...this should take you to content admin directly from there modify the framework page and reset the property of TLN

How to start Top-Level Navigation on Level two?

Hi,
does anyone known a trick how i can start the top-level navigation at Level two?
I make an own frameworkpage and try to set it in the iview properties, but there is not an property for this. it is only for the detailed-navigation iView there.
For what:
I need this, because i would open an pop-up with an other portal window. I link to the popup with navigation-target=... In this pop-up should only be the content of one role. This folder i have set to "invisible in the navigation area". So the User always see him in a popup. when i start at the default Top-navigation level 1, the user see all the other navigation folders.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
up to SPS13, this needs some hands on on different parts of the TLN. What I've done this spring was showing all top-level nav targets within a select box in the masthead and then, after having selected one of these entries, the TLN shows just the content of this top level entry. So this is more or less the same. As said, some work to do.
As of SPS14, with the new navigation taglib, I expect this to be much less work; anyhow, I didn't convert the results into SPS14, so I cannot say if this is really as easy as I expect.
Hope it helps

How to hide Top Level Navigation?

Hi,
I created a quicklink for an iview.
I am able to call the iview from IE window using the quicklink.
But it displays the top level navigation (Company Logo, Welcome message, Logoff, Role tabs,...).
How do I hide this?
Thanks
Sundar

Hi Vinit,
Your solution is working when I clicked the preview button in iview edit window.
But when I try to open the iview using Quicklink with external IE window, it shows the MastHead, TLN.
It is not hiding the MastHead and TLN.
Thanks
Sundar

How to merge top level navigation into detail navigation panel.

Hi All,
I want to add all the contents of top level navigation into detail navigation panel and remove top level navigation.I am looking for the code with which i can shift the top level navigation to detail level navigation.

You could edit the top-level navigation iview and set the <b>Number of Display levels</b> property's value to 0.
you can reach the Top-level navigation iview by going through the following path
1) <b>Content Administration --> Portal Content --> Content Provided by SAP --> Admin Interfaces --> Top-level navigation</b>
However, note that once you do this the whatever menus that are available in the top level will not be available anymore.
Maybe, you could copy the standard Top-level navigation into a framework page that you have created and then make the change. After doing so, you can assign it to groups/roles you want. This will ensure that the CONTENT/SYSTEM/USER administrators see the normal portal framework and specific user groups alone dont see the Top level navigation..

Make top-level navigation smaller in size

Hi all,
the default top-level navigation in the AJAX framework uses quite a big piece of the browser window (almost 70 px). This space could be used better especially when integrating reports.
So my question is how to reduce the height of the top level navigation (first level only) from around 70px to maybe 40-50? Can this be done in the portal theme editor? Unfortunately there is no preview available yet when editing AJAX specific settings. Or do we need to change the coding of the framwork page?
I think it would be pretty messy to change all the pictures and fonts that are used in the top-level navigation.
Thanks for any suggestions or even the "it's not possible" answer.
Regards,
Fabian

Hi Fabian.
But shouldn't it already be possible to change this?
At least you can built your own theme on a base of default one and then directly modify css and image files. However, I do not recommend this solution as far as AFP still in active development.
Will the mechanism to change the theme be enhanced in EhP2 an do we know when EhP2 will be available?
Yes, full support for customization is planned in Ehp2. According to an addendum to SAP's Release Strategy for Large Enterprises, status July 2009, which you can find at [Service Marketplace|http://service.sap.com/releasestrategy], EHP2 for NetWeaver 7.0 is rescheduled to June 2010.
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau
P.S.: Why not just use the "Full Screen" button? It hides TLN.

How to move Top-Level Navigation tabs from left to center side

Hi,
Is there a way to modify the TLN tabs to display on the center side instead of the left? (as if it were a align = center in the code of table)
I tried to change printLevel1Table and printLevel functions in toplevelnavigation.js.org file, but it not work.
Please tell me which jsp or par file I need to modify this.
Thanks so much in advanced

Hi Dario Laurora ,
Yes TLN tabs can be made to displayed with center alignment. Try analyzing the code of TLN.
Have a look at this link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0b25512-07c8-2a10-4289-b45a3333b869 and http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c0a1aea5-a2d1-2a10-c6bc-953bdadfdcb8 and http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85 This will help you in understanding how TLN are made to displayed .Everything is controlled by CSS.Though the link concentrates single level of TLN hovel menu, it will surely help you in achieving you requirement.

Changing the Height of Top Level Navigation

How do I change the height of the Top Level Navigation? I went into the framework page I am using, and then opened the Top Level Navigation iView, and changed the Fixed Height to "100" pixels while leaving the Height Type as "Fixed", but this had no affect.
I am using just one level of TLN, and trying to increase the height of that one level so it is easier to see in the page.
Thanks,
Owen

I have already downloaded the PAR file and customized it, and am using it in my custom portal framework. Which part of the code do you recommend I modify? There is the portalapp.xml file, which specifies the height as 45 pixels, but this is just the default size, which should be overridden by the value I specify in the iview, right?
As far as the theme editor, that doesn't help me. I have to increase the size of the top level navigation, not just change the font.
Thanks,
Owen

How make the Top-level Navigation and Content Area in one page as a whole?

I want to make the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area in the one page as a whole displayed in user interface.In the default framework,the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area were contained in 2 pages, So the vertical scroll bar could only control the Content Area. I want to control the full page with one vertical bar like the page of "www.sdn.sap.com" Web.

Hi Jianguo,
One advantage of the external facing portal solution (SP14) is that the framework page is displayed in a single frame. Perhaps this could be of use to you.
Hope this helps.

How to hide name of Role from the top level navigation of the portal

Hi Experts,
In my project, I have created 2 roles Role A and Role B. These roles have been assigned to User X.
When user X logs in, he is able to see name of role that is 'A' in the top level navigation.
As per the requirement, user X should not see the 'A'.
Rather user X should see following:
Top Level Navigation: 'My Work'
When user clicks on 'My Work', he should see
'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2'.
After that under 'My Sub Work1' user should see following
All Objects of Role A
All Objects of Role B
Name of role i.e. 'A' or 'B' should not be displayed at all at any place in navigation.
Only whatever objects has been assigned to Role A and B should be displayed in detailed navigation area.
Can you please let me know how to achieve this?
Pictorial Diagram:
                  My Work       (In top level navigation)
My Sub Work1    My Sub Work2    (In top level navigation)
_________Objects of role
A
       |
       |_________Objects of role
                               B
Please note that 'My Work' and 'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2) are not roles. They are just the name of folders.
Can you please let me know how to achieve it?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Try the following steps.
1. Change the 'Entry Point' property of Roles A and B to 'No'.
2. Create a role folder called 'My Work' under A and B.
3. Set the 'Entry point' property of this folder to 'Yes'.
4. Set the 'merge id' property of the folder as "mywork" (or any other string) under both roles A and B.
5. Under 'My Work' in Role A,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 50.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work1' and create all your objects.
6. Under 'My Work' in Role B,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 100.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work2' and create all your objects.
7. Make sure the user is assigned both the roles A and B. Only then he/she can see objects of both the roles.
8. One thing to remember while merging folders is that, all the entities that are being merged should be at the same level. For eg: in our case, you cannot merge 'my subwork1' in role A, with 'my work' in role B.

Tab in Top Level Navigation is not highlighted when clicked on

Hi guys,
We have 1 problem in EP 6.0:
I create 1 iview(testiview), and attached to the role(testrole), assigned to 1 user, then login with that user. In top level navigation, i am able to see the role(testrole) in top level navigation, but after i clicked, the tab for this role is not highlighted, but the content of iview is displayed,
Any one knows what happened?
Thanks!
Guo Feng

Hi Guo
You have created one role and added one iView under it.
now can u tell which one you made as entry point.
if Role is the entry point are you getting the iView link in the DTN ?
If you made iView as entry point and then you r getting the content in content area and the iView link in the top.
i think the second one happens...
Check the role and iView properties .
Make the Role as entry point..

How to Display Detailed navigation passing Top level navigation node name

Hi All,
I have prepared a DLN par file but unfortunatly my requirement is such that I need to pass one of the toplevel node name as input parameter and that should display the corresponding DLN which is from 3rd level.
I have checked in sdn for passing a value to the navigation tag lib which will consider it as a selectednode but could find none.
Can some body suggest me how to acheive this.
Thanks in Advance.
Sai Krishna. K

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for your Reply..
Following is my Scenario:
I use 2 same versions of portals connected via federated portal concept.
I have my detailed navigation par file in portal2 and was calling it from portal1 from a iview.
Since I am not physically navigating in portal2(which mean there is no selected node to iterate ), when I call that iview in portal1 it is picking up only 1st node in top level navigation.
So i need to pass "My reports" (as 1st level) & "India" (as 2nd level) as parameters such that it gets only its DTN at all times from 3rd level.
Hope you understand my scenario, below is my iteration code logic.
<div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu">
<ul>
     <nav:iterateSelectedNavNodesLevel level="<%=START_LEVEL%>">
     <%-- the 'currentDepth' attribute provides the byte value of the current level --%>
    <nav:recurseNavNodeChildren currentDepth="depth">
         <% current = start + depth.intValue() - 1; %>
         <%=writeClosingTags(last - current)%>
         <%
        last = current;
        %>
        <%-- we want to distinguish between folder and leaf nodes so we can use different graphics --%>
          <%-- complete the html syntax for the 'class' attribute pass it as an anchor attribute--%>
          <li><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
          <%-- checks for additional navigation level and the appropriate html tags to accomodate them --%>
        <nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillIncrease>
            <ul>
        </nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillIncrease>
        <nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillNotChange>
            </li>
        </nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillNotChange>
    </nav:recurseNavNodeChildren>
    <%=writeClosingTags(last - start)%>
    <% last = start; %>
</nav:iterateSelectedNavNodesLevel>
</ul>
</div>
As per the passing parameter concept please explain me a bit more clear with step by step procedure.
<b>Here if not passing parameters, providing static values will also do for my requirement.</b>
Many Thanks,
Sai Krishna.
