Portal Top Level Navigation

Hi,
How can i remove the display bar on Top Level Navigation(Left side).
Thanks.

Hi Shah,
Please follow the procedure:
<b>To Configure Top-Level Navigation</b>
1. In the Portal Catalog choose <i>Portal Users</i> -> <i>Standard Portal Users</i>. This folder contains the <i>Default Framework Page</i>.
2. Right-click <i>Default Framework Page</i> and choose Open -> <i>Object</i>.
3. From the Page Content List select the <i>Top-Level Navigation</i> iView and click <i>Properties</i>.
4. Scroll to the <i>Number of Display Levels</i> property and enter the <b>value 0, 1, or 2</b>, depending on how many navigation levels, if any, you want for top-level navigation.
<b> Choosing 0 removes your top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView. </b>
5.Click Save.
For more information see SAP Note <b>687485</b>.
I hope this solves your problem.
Regards
Pravesh

Personalize Top Level Navigation.

Hi,
We are planning to implement some customization to portal Top Level Navigation.
In our system we are having around 20 roles, We need to display only five roles at a time in TLN TAB. Remaining will be accessible on clicking More Tab (After fifth role), which will display remaining roles in hover menu.
We acheived this part successfully.
The second part of the requirement is, user should able to personalize the order(sort priority) of his role. So that he can always display frequently using role first.
How we can develop this part.
Please feel free to write any thoughts on this.
Regards
Baby

Alex,
Thanks for the reply.
That's exactlly my requirement. I like to discuss more on this.
Can u explain me what do you mean by storing in database? I need more help on this part.
My inital thought was to create an application which will function in a simliar way of end user personalization of iviews and pages.
SInce all the sort informations are maintained at entry point (role) level, should i go at each role and maintain personalized information.
Is it practilcally feasible to create an application to manage all these personalizations.
Is there any other simiple solution to this.

Hi George
On startup of the role an iview was called which opened a gif file stored in the KM. This iview wasn't added to any page so I basically did just that; added it to a page. Now the problem seems to have gone away!

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
http://yourserver:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=pcd%3Aportal_content%2Fadministrator%2Fsuper_admin%2Fsuper_admin_role%2Fcom.sap.portal.content_administration%2Fcom.sap.portal.content_admin_ws%2Fcom.sap.portal.portal_content&iview_mode=default

ByEPCM top level navigation in between federated portals

Hi Everyone,
we're currently having an issue where our bespoke top level navigation isn't working properly between our federated EP and CE systems. The TLN is a hover menu style navigation and uses byEPCM to navigate. The problem occurs when the user logs on to EP, navigates to an iview that is on the CE box (via federation) and then tries to navigate back to an EP iview. Instead of displaying the iview the user sees "page not found" in the content area and has to reload the whole portal framework for it to work.
The logs don't seem to suggest very much apart from it looking for the role/iview on the CE box as opposed to the EP box (??). This does not happen using the standard SAP TLN and also doesn't seem to happen when using byURL instead of byEPCM. Now, the natural suggestion would be - why not use byURL instead? This is valid approach and I will test this but I distinctly remember that there was a reason why I used byEPCM as opposed to byURL in the first place (just can't remember what it was as it was a long time ago). In any case I will test this over the next few days.
I can't help think though that this might be a config or security/permission setting somewhere on either EP or CE (probably CE). Anyone who has encountered this before and can maybe shed some light or have any suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks,
Dion

Hi Henrik,
you could listen to the navigation event (just as the TLN does to navigate to the next page).
Here is how it works (JS code):<pre>function myNavEventHandler(eventObj) {
    var navigationTarget="";
    if (typeof (eventObj.dataObject)=="string")
        navigationTarget = eventObj.dataObject;
    else
        navigationTarget = eventObj.dataObject.target;
    <i>// add code handling <b>navigationTarget</b></i>
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "Navigate", myNavEventHandler);
</pre>Put this code into an component/iView, then place it into the framework page.
That should be it...
Regards
Sven

WPC on Portal 7.3: Area in top level navigation

Hi,
We are trying to set up a site using Web Page Composer on portal 7.3, but we are not able to display the area in the first level of the navigation.
Let's say we need following structure in the navigation:
Departments
-- HR
-- Trading & Supply
-- Finance
We want the content managers of our site to create extra departments without sending an area connection request to show the new department in the navigation.
Is it possible to create an Area Departments, link it to a role by creating a connection and use this connection as an entry point?
I've tried to edit the connection and mark "departments" as entry point, but it's not appearing in the top level navigation.
kr,
Joachim

Hi,
An area cannot be the first level of navigation. When you publish an area in WPC 2.0 it becomes a workset. Connecting the area to a role is similar to placing a workset under a role (the technicalities aren't the same, but that's the general idea).
Information regarding area connection can be found at:

Can we control the top level navigation in portal from a java application

Hello,
I am having a scenario where User logged in to portal and assigned with 2 roles (HOME , ISA(Java application)). When user opened a form in ISA (Java application) and tried to enter the data in form and moved to another tab (e.g. HOME) in top level navigation.
When user come back to ISA (Java application) TAB , we show the page where he left earlier. I would like to know if user click any other TAB in top level navigation (Role assigned to him) while working on a page in ISA(Java application) is there any way we can catch that event before he leaves from ISA (Java application JSP page) to other TAB?
How can we control the top level navigation events in the portal from a java application .Since Top level navigation is seperate par file.
Thanks,
RN

Dear Rajesh,
Top Level and detailed navigation values comes with iteration in the respective par file.
Please check the par file and based on the value (i.e tab name) selected, you can write your code.

Top level navigation problem anonymous portal

Hi everybody,
We have an anonymous portal with named anonymous users.
When you log on in the portal with a normal user, the top level navigation works fine and all the content is displayed.
When you log on in the portal with an anonymous user, all the content is displayed, the top level navigation works.
But when you press e.g.: the second tab in the top level navigation, you can see the right content, but the tab is not highlighted. In the normal portal the tab is highlighted. The auth scheme of my top level navigation iview is set to anonymous.
Did I forgot to set a standard sap iview to anonymous or something?
Kind regards,
David De Kerpel

Hi,
You have the following options to solve this problem as suggested by SAP:
1. Disable the short urls feature. Go to System Administration --> Navigation --> Short URLs, set the "Use short URLs" to false, save the configuration and restart the J2EE Engine.
2. Log in as a standard user (not anonymous) and navigate to all iViews/pages that will be viewed by anonymous. Navigating to an iView/page or a navigation node means that you can see a link to it in the TLN or DTN.
3. Deploy the PAR file attached in the SAP Note 913367, which fixes the problem.

Top Level Navigation Manipulation in "Hosted Portal"

We are in a position where we have to begin hosting additional content in our portal from a portal that is being decommissioned.
The problem is we need to keep it seperate from the existing content from a user access point of view.
While users can have access to roles from the existing content and from the soon to be "hosted" content, they have not to be seen in the portal at the same time.
For example if the user accesses the portal with URL 1 they only see tabs in the top level navigation for the current content but if they access using URL 2 they only see tabs in the top level navigation for the "hosted" content.
I know we can control most of the issues such hosting raises using URL Aliases in our Desktop Rules to display different desktops, but wanted to know if anyone knows of a simple way that this can be enforced in the standard top level navigation iView via either configuration or simple code change to prevent us having to develop our own TLN to cope with this.
We are currently on EP7.0 SP13
Thanks (and of course points) for any help you can offer.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your suggestions.
We have managed to get halfway to our required solution with a very simple change to a copy of the standard top level navigation whereby we only process the PrintNavNodes method for iterations of the "initialNodes" which have the required node names - e.g.
private void PrintNavNodes(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
for(Iterator it = initialNodes.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
INavigationNode initialNode = (INavigationNode)it.next();
// Start of Change - Portal Share Project
String nodeName = initialNode.getName();
if ( nodeName.endsWith("ccmaint_user") || nodeName.endsWith("ccmaint_supervisor") ) {
// End of Change - Portal Share Project
firstContent = PrintNode(initialNode, request, response, 0);
try {
This effectively filters out the unwanted tabs in the desktop where this amended TLN is used.
This works fine where the tabs you want to see have sort priority putting them at the front of the list but leads to problems when used for the converse set of content as the desktop is still referring to the full "initialNodes" list and so while filtering at this level does render the TLN as required, it becomes unusable as the tab positions are still considered to be as they would be if you had not filtered any.
For example:
We have 5 tabs in total. For URL 1 we wish to show only tabs 1 & 2. For URL 2 we want tabs 3, 4 & 5.
Using this method for URL 1 we are fine as Tabs 1 & 2 are in the correct positions but for URL 2 when the tabs are rendered they appear in positions 1, 2 & 3 as required but act somewhat as though they are still in positions 3, 4 & 5 (e.g. Select the first tab and the 3rd is highlighted and a page error occurs - "'children' is null or not an object").
Not only this but the Inner Page still displays the content from the filtered tab 1 as opposed to tab 3.
Can anyone advise a way we can get round these issues?
Thanks
Ian.
P.S. Please excuse my naïvety in this area.

Hi Sarita,
I have pretty much followed your approach. But in the drop down top level navigation works wiredly & doesn't pick up the value as desired. I have similar need where the TLN has to be extended till 4 level, could you point me right direction where is it going wrong?
For 3-levels:
<ul>
    <nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
       <li id='l0'>
