Translating items in a Content Area

Hi,
Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
what is happening ?
we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Thanks for any help!

Hi Philip
One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
Hope that helps

Rate it Link for items in a content Area

Hi,
How do I add a rate it link for all items in a content area and track the rating for items by all the users. This is urgent and any help is appreciated
Thanks
Makario

You need to create a custom item type, with a procedure that displays a link to do the rating.
For an example of a custom item type procedure, see Re: personal oracle 9i
Note that the primary key for an item is (masterid, id, caid, language).

How to customize the default add item in a content area

Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
If anyone has any idea, please help me.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
Thanks,
Lan

Locking "Portal Administrators" out of items in a content area

I have a content area that will contain sensitive documents.
I've been asked to find out whether security can be set up so
that only a certain group of users can access the content area.
This includes locking out the portal administrators from seeing
these items. Is this possible and how can it be done?
Thanks!
Esther Poulsen

You will always need a couple of users that can function as
Portal superusers/administrators. That said, most
administrative tasks can be delegated and decentralized so that
only these few administrators have completely global
privileges. One of the key purposes of content areas is to
partition security among your users.

I have to display the names of the items content on this CA on a page, and I need to do It in the same way the structured is show, but that I mean I need to show it like that:
Item1
Name of the Subfolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
Name of the Subfolder2
Item5
Name of the Subfolder3
Item6
I have found an api but It doesn't have a way to acces the folders of a CA or the items inside an specific folder in order to show the things like I need.
Please help me, how can I achieve that??
Thanks in advance
Ana Lasprilla

You could walk through the wwv_corners table to get a list of your folders and then walk through the wwv_things table to retrieve the items in the folders. Once you have your items you will need to use various techniques to display them. This really gets complicated though because you probably want to display folders and content in the order they display within the content area.
Another and simpler way to at least traverse this content is to call http://server/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsbr_folderxml.generate?p_id=somefolderid& p_siteid= somesiteid
This will produce an xml formatted dump of the folders and content. This goes to the http stream so you will have to capture and parse this.

Export of items in a content area

We have items of type image in a content area. In the
browser the image url appears as follows:
/pls/portal30/docs/1234.gif
When migrating content areas does the item content
also get migrated (eg: the image file) and also
are the appended numbers eg: 1234.gif and itemids
kept the same in the new instance or are they changed.
Also is the correlation between the image and the number
maintained in the new instance.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Yes. All these correlations are automatically taken care.

Rights on URL items in a content area

Hi,
Ok, so now I have my query to retrieve the main URL items (top level branches) in a content area for my treeview. This is the query:
SELECT IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url,
COUNT(IT2.Name) Subs
FROM WWV_THINGS IT, WWSBR_URL$ URL, WWV_THINGS IT2
WHERE IT.SiteId = (
SELECT Id
FROM WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS
WHERE Name = 'CA_NAVIGATION'
AND Default_Language = 'us')
AND IT.Active = 1
AND IT.ParentId is null
AND IT.Id = URL.Object_Id
AND IT2.ParentId(+) = IT.MasterThingId
GROUP BY IT.Seq,
IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url
How do I figure out if the current user has rights to view the item or not? Not all users may see all these URL's of course.
I know how to find the current user, but I don't know how to limit this query to only those URL's granted to the current user.
Could anybody please point me in the direction of the correct table/tables to use in this query?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

Hi,
I've found several docs in the PDK. I've also found a reference to the WWSEC_API, function has_privilege.
But I would like to know in which table I should look to check for rights of users and groups.
In content area X, I have several URL's, each URL has several usergroups that can access the URL. How do I know which URL's to display when user Y belonging to usergroup Z logs in?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

Folder Item displayed in content area page?

Is it possible to display an item
in the folder portlet area (to keep navigator bar).
I want the homepage to keep being displayed with the folder portlet in the same place only showing items description.
thanks for help.
jean-noel

It is the item type that controls whether you get that option. The way around it is to build a custom item type from the text type, then add a url attribute to it.
This will give you the control you want.

Public user sees old content of items in content area/portlets

I have items in my Content Area, as pl/sql folders, text and pl/sql items. These are all published as portlets. Access is set to public. The content of these items have been altered a couple of times during development, and they work as they should when I4m logged in as a user.
However, when I access these items (both directly by an url to the content area and by an url to the page containing the portlets) as the public user (not logged in), the content of these items is old. The content could be several weeks old, actually it is possible that the displayed content is the original content of the specific item (as it was when I first created the items).
To me, it sounds like a cache issue, and I tried to set "Enable plsql caching" to "no", with no improvement.
What can I do to solve this?
/Sara

You could try flushing the cache content by navigating to
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cache
..and deleting the directories and all content beneath them.
This is guaranteed to cause a cache rewrite.
You should also set your page cache settings to 'Dont Cache' which will guarantee that the cache is not being used.
You can check the caching status of a portlet on a page by adding _debug=1 to the URL you are viewing.
You can read more about it here..

Content area items not visible

I had a content area that had items. Somehow, the items are now invisible. If I add new items to the content area, they are invisible too!!
What could be the problem?

Eva,
Have you recently upgraded to Portal 3.0.9? Check the content area properties to see if your categories are hidden. The 3.0.9 upgrade script has a bug that hides existing categories.

Unable to create content area item for RDF-report

According to white paper "Security tips in Oracle Reports Services (release 6i with Portal 3.0)" I'm trying to integrate an Oracle Reports 6i RDF-module in my portal.
All goes well including running the report from de reports definition file.
However, when I want to create an item in the content area referencing the report, the report-application is not visible in the lov Application Components. The only aplication component I'm offered is "PEOPLE_APP: People".
Perhaps the following problems are related to this problem:
1) When looking for applications in the Portal Navigator, the report-application is missing in the applications list. However, after using the Find...-option the application is shown. Should report-definitions been shown ?
2) After installing rwwwvins.sql the package body WWV_RW_SB is invalid with errormessage "PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to SET_SSO_SESSION".
Can anybody help ?

One problem solved...
It appears that I should have stated the application as "Expose as Provider". After doing that the report appeared in the lov.
Unfortunately one problem still remains. The package WWV_RW_SB has errors causing the parameterform to fail. I've rerun the rwwwvins-script but the package body stays invalid.

Modify a content area item so it is approved (via API?)

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to programmatically modify an item that has been created with approval so that it is approved?
I am trying to integrate a workflow process to item addition in content areas so that the final step is to programmatically approve it(thus making it appear in the folder). The publicly available API procedures/functions to modify/create an item do not specify a way to approve as well.
Can this be done? Thanks in anticipation

Any suggestions? Thanks
