Portal Page layout from 1 col to 2 col

Can any one guide me how to see properties of a portal page and change layout from 1 column to 2 columns?

Hi
You need to create a custom page layout. You can edit the JSP pages of 1 column layout and allocate 50% width for both the columns which previously was 100%.
You can refer this documentation
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9242a890-0201-0010-32a9-8516639c5afa
Will certainly help you out....

Change portal Page layout from Web Dynpro

I have some problem:
I need to rearrange Portal Page layout from 2 columns to 1 collumn from Dynpro action. Decision to hide 1 Column or resize its width to 0 is good idea, but I do not now how.
Absolute Navigation is wrong idea, because I need to go back to multiply IViews mode and I will lost my data context.
I saw PageService - custom Portal service, where I can resize IViews.
In my Netweaver 2004 this class is absent.
Probably exist some Portal events to manage Page layout? Anybody knows?
Thanks!

Hi,
For this we have to use eventing among the webdynpro components of two different views.You can refer this example for this.

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...

Different page layout from template?

In the new Pages with Maverick I can't find a way to use a different page layout from a template than the two layouts in miniature by default. Have you found a way?

The templates doesn't have several different pages layouts anymore, which they had in Pages 09. Pages 5.0 is a very strpied down Pages. You could say Pages very Lite should be the name.
What you could try is open the old Pages 09 ( in the application folder > iWork 09 folder) the templates you like. Add the different page layouts in templates so they not are hidden. Save as a documents. Now open them in Pages 5.0 and save as templates.

How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?

How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?
I am creating a print document - the page setup seems to automatically convert from inches back to picas. When I go to the tutorial on creating a document, however, the tutorial shows dimensions in inches. I assume there is some kind of preferences setting but I have not been able to find it.

Portal Page Layout

Hello,
I have written 2 portal components and added them to a .sappage in visual studio 2003. This is defaulting to a 1 column page and although I can change this within the portal is there anyway to create a 2 column page using visual studio?
Thank you in advance.
Paul.

Hello Paul,
Unfortunately, there is only one default page layout in Visual Studio .NET - 1 column.
But as you mentioned you can edit page layout in the Portal.

Navigate from Web Dynpro app to portal page

Dear All,
I've created a number of Web Dynpro applications which I run from various portal pages. From one of the Web Dynpro's I navigate to a different portal page using the WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute method. This works fine, but I'm left with one problem:
I'd like to pass parameters from the Web Dynpro which navigates to the portal page to the Web Dynpro applications which run on that specific page. I've appended the parameters to the URL I'm navigating to (eg ROLES://<pcd location>?<param=xxx>) and in the Web Dynpro's I've added a parameter to the Default interface plug. This doesn't seem to work. As an alternative I've added the statement WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("param") to the doInit() method of the view, but this also doesn't work.
Either I'm doing something wrong, or what I want to accomplish is not possible. Does anybody know of a way to access parameters passed to a portal page from Web Dynpro applications contained on that page?
Thanks,
Arnoud

I hope you are passing parameters between two WebDynpro applications.
Please go through the example available for passing interaction between two webdynpro components.
Please check the following link
Alternative method for navigating to another page ?

How to adjust size of Portal Page Panels for WDA Applications

Hi,
I am designing a Portal Page using Page Layout "3 Colums (Narrow:Wide:Narrow" for WDA application. The problem is that the width of the web dynpro contents on the Left and Right panels ("Narrow" parts of the Page Layout) is not very wide, leaving lot of empty space between those panels and the Center ("Wide") panel. Is there a way that I can adjust the width of each panel in the mentioned Portal Page Layout?
I went through SAP library which mentions using method lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute but I am not clear how to pass the width value in the method. If that method is relevant, can someone give a code example (no copy/paste from SAP Library pls.) of how to put the width value (e.g., 300 in the method? Also, in which method (e.g., WDDOINIT) I should execute the code.
Will greatly appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Tony

Custom page layouts are not getting displayed in ribbon

Hi,
I have created a custom page layout under welcome category. This is getting displayed in pages library while creating a page and also in page layout option from site settings which is fine. But when a page is in edit mode if we click page->page layouts
from ribbon, all the default page layouts are getting displayed except my custom page layout.
Please advise.
Regards,
Chaitanya.

you have a subsite in a site collection •the publishing feature is activated in the subsite, but not in the site collection •you want to edit/add page layouts on the site collection level, to be used within your subsite •when you open the site collection
in SharePoint Designer, you can't see Page Layouts in the Site Objects panel You now have 2 options: you can either activate the publishing feature in the site collection (and the Page Layouts link comes back), or you can use the All Files link and browse
to the master pages and page layouts library (_catalogs > masterpage.) Either option will do, unless you really don't want the publishing feature in the site collection.
To fix the issue go to Site Actions -> Site Settings in the upper left corner.
Under "Site Collection Administration" click on "Site Collection Features".
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.
Next return to "Site Settings" and click on "Manage Site Features"
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Calling portal page

Is there an API call to call a certain portal page?
The only way i've found a way of doing this is using the following URL:
click here
Where _pageid is different for all pages. This is not very clever in case i decide to change the form at a later stage, or even when i implement the application to a different server the pages might be given different IDs.. So, how can i do this? I'd like to call the different pages (portal pages) using name instead of ID..

Check out the answer to "How can I define a bookmarkable URL for a Portal Page?" from the FAQ, or search for "direct access url" in the online help. It shows you how to call a page by its name.

Custom Page Layouts in 7.3

Hi Experts,
Here I go with another question related to 7.3.
Now I am trying to create a page layout from the PCD.
Inside my folder , I right click and select new Layout.
the layout can be based on existing layouts, or a complete new one.
I have used both ways, but after creation of the layout, I am not able to see the new
layout in my list of layouts, when I am adding layouts to existing pages (or new pages).
The property : Object is a template is already checked.
please let me know if anybody has used the same way to create page layouts and it has worked or not ?
Regards,
Juhi

Hi Juhi,
The layout that is being created is a WebDynpro Page Layout and not Default Page template one.
When you are creating new page choose Webdynpro Page to find your newly created layout in list of available layouts for usage further.

Opening a Portal page from UWL item's click

Hi,
I have written a custom UWL connector that connects to 3rd party system to fetch tasks.
This custom connector has been registered with UWL and tasks from this 3rd party system are now appearing in my UWL.
The requirement is to open a Portal page on click of these UWL items.
That is, when user clicks on this custom UWL item, a Portal page should be opened in new window.
I tried setting item's executionURL to following (inside getItems() method of connector) : -
1. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompanyPurchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest
2. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompany.Purchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest&target="_blank"
3. Set Quick link property of corresponding page and then set executionURL as: -
https://myportal.com/irj/portal/purchaserequest
Issue being faced: -
When user clicks on this UWL item, it opens following URL which just displays blank portal page: -
https://myportal.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycompany.layout.PortalLayoutFolder!2fcom.mycompany.layout.DesktopFolder!2fmycompanyDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchaising%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchase_Request%2Fcom.mycompany.iViews%2Fcom.mycompany.purchaseRequest&CurrentWindowId=WID1326775699455&NavMode=1
Any idea what is going wrong here?
I am not able to figure out what & from where its preparing above URL instead of opening the URL that I specified in Connector's executionURL attribute.

Amey

Available Layouts for Creating Portal Page

Hi, When selecting a layout for creating a Portal Page we are presented with a plethora of available Layouts.
1. What is the difference between the 1 Column (Full Width) and Light: 1 Coumn (Full Width).
2. Why would there be no Layouts with a Row Type Organization. Everything is Column Based. What if I want to Rows?
thanks for any help.

Hi Kenneth,
1. Difference between 1 Column (Full Width) and Light: 1 Coumn (Full Width) is that the second is used for light framework which will not load HTMLB. If you compare the JSP code for the two layouts, the container definition in light layout is not surrounded by hbj tags.
2. As Ajay said, you can add multiple iviews in one container and you get multiple rows in a column. You can always create your own layout which can can have rows as well. One such layout from SAP is T-Layout (Top - Full Width; Bottom - Narrow:Wide).
