Scrollbar In Content Area

Hi SDNers,
I am using the Std. Default Framework Page. In addition to the Content Area, i need to add a custom breadcrumb iView in the Work Area section of the Desktop Inner page.
The properties are set as follows:
Desktop Inner Page -
> Height Type: Full Page, Isolation Method : URL.
Content Area iView -
> Height Type: Fixed, Isolation Method : Embedded, Fixed Height: 200
Custom Iview. -
> Height Type: Automatic, Isolation Method : Embedded
Web Dynpro Proxy Page -
> Height Type: Fixed, Isolation Method : Embedded, Fixed Height: 80
Web Dynpro iView -
> Height Type: Fixed, Isolation Method : Embedded, Fixed Height: 80
When i view a page with PAR iViews, Only 1 scrollbar appears starting from the breadcrumb to the end of the content area.
However, if i view a page of type Web Dynpro Proxy page with a web dynpro iview of type Web Dynpro Java Application, there are 2 scrollbars that appear.
One starting from the breadcrumb to the end of the content area. The other for the web dynpro iView.
I cannot change the Web Dynpro page / iView properties as these are generally ESS/MSS Business Package related pages/iViews.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Melwyn.

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for your input.
There are so many iViews and Pages in ESS/MSS. This is not a feasible solution.
Also i could not locate the following:
Chnage the Properties of Page Scrolling property.
Is there any other solution that can be implemented.
Regards,
Melwyn.

Spry Accordion 1.6.1 gains vert & hztl scrollbars in content area.

I've scratched my scalp raw. This page works fine in both Firefox and Chrome, but picks up vertical and horizontal scrollbars in the content area once open. Is this a known bug, or does it have something to do with the fact that I'm also using a Spry tabs inside the accordion content area? I'm using Spry 1.6.1 and Googling the issue turned up a few other people with the same problem. I've fiddled with the CSS overflow and height properties of the .AccordionPanelContent class, but to no avail. Please help!

I'm sorry, I did not complete the sentence correctly. The scrollbars appear in IE7. They're fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE8. Should I post html file and dependencies?

Removal of additional scrollbars in the Desktop Innerpage and Content Area.

i have kept the Isolation method as Pumped Deprecated and Height type as fixed in the Inner Page. And on adjusting the fixed height in Pixels on one of the 3 vertical scrollbars of Inner Page are removed ; still one additional vertical scrollbar is visible in the Content Area.

Well, it is starting to make sense...
Here is the code that seems responsible for the resizing (I guess this is called when the FULL-PAGE option is set on the Desktop Innerpage)
workArea.resizeIframe = function() {
    obj = document.getElementById("isolatedWorkArea");
    var dif = 3;
    if (document.getElementById("fullPageDiv") != null) {
        dif += 9;
    if (EPCM.getUAType() == EPCM.MSIE) {
        obj.style.pixelHeight = document.body.clientHeight - dif;
    } else {
        if (EPCM.getUAVersion() < 7) obj.style.height = window.innerHeight - dif - 6;
        else obj.style.height = window.innerHeight - dif
As you can see, the isolatedWorkArea is retrieved and the height of the iframe (obj.style.height) is set.
The problem is that the isolatedWorkArea (which is the Id of an iframe) only contains the Content Area iView whereas one would have expected that it contains all the iViews in the Work Area section.
Here is the resulting generated HTML code (a bit simplified to emphasize the structure) :
<div id="desk_div">
<table>
     <tr>
        <td>
        My Component
        </td>
      </tr>
     <tr>
        <td>
          <iframe id="isolatedWorkArea">
          The content of the iframe is here
          </iframe>
          <s cript>workArea.resizeIframe(); ...
          </s cript>
        </td>
      </tr>
</div>
As you can see the script only acts on the iframe...
Or am I missing something ??
Best regards,
Guillaume

Removing the Vertical scroll bar from the content area.

Hello,
Is there a way to remove the vertical scroll bar from the content area?
I am trying to create a new light portal frame work.
Everything works fine except that I see two vertical scroll bars, one from the content area and another from the page(frame).
Thanks in advance.
-Sudheer

Hi
There are a couple of ways in which to achieve this
1) Try and make the content flat. What I mean by this is that the content area (when using the standard light framework) doesn't contain an iframe, meaning that the iview defined on the page has "EMBEDDED" isolation mode. This should mean that you only have one scrollbar (if the content extends past the size of the browser)
2) If you need to make the iview URL isolation, then try and get the domain of the content to be of a similar domain to your portal server, i.e. your portal is portal.company.com and the content is content.company.com. In this way you can make the pages expand.
NOTE: One thing to note is that when using URL isolation iviews doesn't allow the automatic expanding of the iframe content. This is because the standard javascript doesn't allow this. Therefore you may have to write your own javascript function (or content area page) to do this
I hope this helps

Removing vertical scroll bar on innerpage/content area

Hi All,
I am trying to remove extra vertical scroll bar on innerpage/content area. I followed below weblog
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5192 ..."Those pesky scrollbars when using URL isolation"
It works if I give fixed pixels like 1000 px for inner page height.
obj = document.getElementById("isolatedWorkArea");
obj.style.height = 1000 + 'px';
But its not getting dynamic height of the content area using below code which is mentioned in the blog.
reqsize = window.frames[obj.name].document.body.scrollHeight + 100 ;
obj.style.height = reqsize + 'px';
Please advice if anybody have a solution for this.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
First of all if you wand to remove the scroll bar you should use;
obj.style.overflow="hidden";
About dynamic height I cannot tell you if the sollution proposed on the blog is suitable for you.
Normaly you should use only:
reqsize = document.body.scrollHeight + 100 ;
In order to find out the total height of your page.
I don't understand why do you want to do all this. You will have cases when parts of the content will not be visible to the user due to these restrictions.

How to pass variable to content area from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to create a(Content area) folder based on a PL/SQL procedure that takes a variable as a
parameter and returns data based on value of that parameter to the folder . Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

Somewhere, in one procedure, build a session identifier and save your variable there. If no session with that identifier is previously stored, it will create a new session instance with that ID for you.
declare
l_sess portal30.wwsto_api_session;
varvalue number;
begin
varvalue := 100;
l_sess := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
l_sess.set_attribute('VAR_NAME',varvalue);
l_sess.save_session;
end;
In your other procedure, or anywhere else needed within that same session, simply load the session and reference the variable. To reference the variable, use the following.
-- assuming new procedure, so re-defining session variable and reloading session into it
declare
my_session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
my_new_variable number;
begin
my_session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
my_new_variable := my_session.get_attribute_as_number('VAR_NAME');
end;
This will let you reference parameters across multiple portal applications and indirect calls.

Maybe there is approval set up on this folder. Order time based publishing. Both can cause the read users to see nothing.
The first means that read users can only see published documents. If no document is published the result is a empty folder.
Same for the second feature. If timebased publishing it can be that all documents are hidden for the read users because the documents are out of there time interval.
Hope this helps. Check both in folder > details > settings.

How to enlarge and centralise the 'Content Area' in an Office 365 webpage

Hi, I'm relatively new to O365 and I'm working on our webpage
The issue I have is that you have the Content Area but that seems to be about 1/2 an inch in from the left hand screen and only covers approx. 75% of the screen, what I want is the content area to be about 1000pixels wide and centralised.
I've tried looking at the CSS style sheet but there doesn't seem to be anything that helps me to do either of the above tasks.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

Portal Content area not displaying in Portal

I tried to disable Portal favorites option from Content admin -> Default Frame work Page -> Detailed navigation. Instead of only disabling the default navigation I have disabled the entire Portal content area and I am now not able to see any content in the Portal except the masthead area and the Top level navigation.
Can any one please help me on this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check the content area iview in the Desktop inner page in framework page.If this iview is not there then it will not show the content area.
If desktop inner page is deeted then also you will not see the content area.
If so please add the content area iview indside the Desktop inner page then you can see the content area for the users.
Content area iview will be available under the following path of the portal
Content Administration > Portal Content > Content provided by sap > Admin Interfaces > Admin Iview Templates > Content Area (view).
Thanks,

UI element in Webdynpro to align the content area at the center of the page

Hi Experts,
I am looking for a UI element in webdynpro which can keep the entire content area aligned to the center of the page as well as can provide the borders along the content area.
Please suggest if there exists any such UI element in webdynpro.
P.S. We are using NWDS Version: 7.01.00
Thanks in advance for the replies.
Regards,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
What you can try is to put all of your UI elements in Group and then do the alignment. Set the visibility property of the group header to invisible. This will give you a border.
Hope this solves your problem.

Display the reports under all subfolders at a time in the content area?

Hi All,
In SAP EP portal,We have a requirement to display few reports wherein we have 7 roles with the same names but different ID's and they are merged together so that even if the users have 7 roles assigned he will see only 1 tab in the first level navigation and uder that there will be one folder at the second level.Now the requirement is like this
1st level navigation : Role Name
2nd level navigation :Folder Name
Detailed Navigation : Folder Name
                                 Sub Folder Name
                                 Sub -sub folder1 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder2 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder3 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
Under al the sub-sub folders a workset map iview is added to display the reports with a pictogram in the content area.In the detailed navigation, as soon as the user clicks on the Sub folder the user should be able to see the reports under all the Sub-sub folders( Sub-sub folder1,Sub-sub folder2,Sub-sub folder3) .But currently the user has to explicitly click on each of the Sub-sub folders to view the reports(thrice in this case).Plz give a solution in which all the reports under the 3 Sub-sub folders should appear simultaneouly in the content area at a single click on Sub Folder
Thanks & Regards,

Moving a folder, Linking between content areas

I have 2 problems:
1) So far we developed all our content in a single content area. We would now like to split the information into multiple content areas. The MOVE or COPY command on the folder only allows me to copy within a content area. I have hundreds of documents to move. Is there any way i can move a folder to a different content area?
2) What is the best way to link a folder from 1 content area to a folder in another content area? I found that the FOLDER LINK ITEM allows me to connect only within a content area.
(I would prefer not to use an URL since the content publishers may not be able to construct complicated paths or the paths may change leading to broken links.)

Suraj
1) The only way to do this currently is to create an export of the content area, import it back into the portal and remove the duplicate content. We are planning a bulk action feature in a future release that would allow you do to selectively copy/move one or more folders into a new content area.
2) Currently folder links are scoped within a content area; the only option is to link to the folder through a URL folder type. If you use the generated URL that contains the folder ID, you shouldn't run into any problems if the target folder is moved. I have submitted an enhancement request to extend the folder link to 'remote' folders outside of the 'home' content area.

Problem with Checking In/Out Items in Content Area

I've been reading the Portal On-Line help pages in regards to
checking in/out items. The help states that when an item is
checked out, the item is locked and a message "Checked out by:
UserName" is displayed next to the item. When I check out an
item, I do not see this "Checked out by" message. However, I do
see the checkout icon. Note - I am doing this through the
Content Area Navigation page. Is there something that I am
missing? (I have seen other threads in regards to the
checkin/checkout icons not displaying when the Content Area is
published as a portlet. We are having this problem as well.)
However, the lack of the "checked out" message happens in both
the Content Area Navigator and the published portlet.
Also, is there a way to get Portal to automatically generate
version numbers when a new version of an item is created. I see
that you can create a unique name or description .... but I'd
like to have Portal generate the version number for me. This is
done in the Application component section when you build forms,
menus, or reports.
Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

The "checked out by" message only appears to other users - you
won't see it if you are the user who checked out the item.
The version number is planned for a future release.
Regards,
Jerry

Can't post document to Content Area

today, our production Portal abruptly stopped accepting documents in the Content Area.
when you try to post a document, it generates a HTTP 404 error on wwv_add_wizard.edititem:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
if you post(or hit 'Next >') without browsing for a file (and leaving the File Name field empty),
THEN it works, but of course only creates a useless entry listing the display name and description,
with no file link, because a file wasn't uploaded.
does anyone have any suggestions? has anyone else run into this?
unfortunately, i can't restart the database or application server during work hours...
thanks for any help,
rich

Rich,
Did you check the apache error.log ?
