Accessing Items across content Areas

We have two content Areas ( CA1 , CA2)and a folder(CA1-F1,CA2-F1) in each, which are published as Portlets.
Different people create Items in ContentArea A(CA1-F1 FOLDER).
I want to display some(by Creator) of the items from CA1-F1 FOLDER to CA2-F1 FOLDER automatically.
'casue, we don't want to create the same item in two content areas.
Is there anyway of achiveing this........?
Please reply!!!!!!

G'day,
An option here is to use 'share objects' perspectives and/or categories.

Accessing Items Across Components

Hello All,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to access items (in this
case an accordion) across components.
In my application I have a main.mxml file which contains a
viewstack that uses homeview.mxml and buyersview.mxml to display
different content.
buyersview.mxml contains an accordion that I'd like to be
able to access from homeview.mxml. I tried using
click="this.parentApplication.buyersview.buyersAccordion.selectedIndex=1".
This does not return an error but it doesn't work either.
Any help would be appreciated

You are or will be hitting the deferred instantiation issue.
Non-visible children of ViewStack or Accordion, are not created
until the user navigates to that view.
It is bad practice to attempt to set component properties
from the outside, and this is one reason. Instead, use the
creationComplete and/or show events to "pull" the data you want
into the component.
Your theory is good on the inter-component communication. You
may need to approach it one step at a time to verify your
expression. Application.application resolves to the top-level
application scope. I tend to use that more than parentDocument.

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..

What patch/version are you running ?

Accessing images from content areas

I have added an image item to a content area. I want to use this image elsewhere as part of an image rollover in a portlet. How do I gain access to tehis image so it can be used as part of a javascript routine?

Gerry,
You can create a logical URL to the image. Check the Portal online help for the topic "Direct Access URL". The Direct Access URL for any item is displayed in its property sheet. The property sheet can be displayed by editing the Folder Style/Folder Layout.
You can also get the image's physical URL by right-clicking on the image and viewing its properties (in IE).

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

Error Creating File Items in Content Area

Received the following error message when trying to create an item in a content area:
An unhandled exception has occurred, ORA-01403: no data found.
I checked in the Apache error_log file and the only messages I see relate to portal30.wwv_add_wizard.edititem and portal30.wwv_additem.additem (had to be described for execution).
Any suggestions? Thanks

This is an unusual problem. Please work with Oracle Support to resolve it.

Error when editing items in content area!

Hi,
I get an error: HTTP 404 - File not found, everytime I want to edit an item in the content area, after another try it works and does the changes.
I'd like to know if this is a know bug? what's happening?
This is bad to portal performance, the publishers and developers are backing out, due to this prob.
Also I'm getting timeouts all the time.
Any help?
Carolina.

Hi,
This has been mentioned on a thread on 'General' about getting 404 errors and timeouts. I am having exactly the same problem.
I re-installed our Server from Scratch with Windows 2000 and Portal version 3.0.9.8.0 so I would have a totally clean install, but I still get the same problems.
Someone mentioned that turning Intermedia (Oracle Text) searching on causes the problems. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Any word on this from Oracle?

Count item in content area

Is it possible to count all the items (document, URL, zip file, etc) of a Content area? Is there any standard statistic or tool to do this?
thanks!
paolo

hi paolo,
one way is using the content management view wwsbr_all_items.

Scalability of custom items in content areas

Hi,
I like the idea of the flexibility of custom items, and functionally they fit closely to a requirement I'm working on, i.e. a mixture of structured and unstructured data that is very likely to change over time and requires structured access control. I've developed a prototype and it all looks good so far.
However, I am wondering whether use of custom items is going to hit the performance of my Portal. Just to give you some idea of the numbers I'm talking about - I'll have about 20 custom items defined, probably with no more than 10000 examples of each custom item. I know it's very much small fry in database terms, but since this is metadata, I'm a little bit concerned about the affect of storing that amount of data across the Portal meta schema. My concern is that I haven't actually put any data into the custom items yet, but I've noticed that querying some of the WWSBR_ views is somewhat slow, especially when you try to join the views. What I'm hoping to avoid is exponential degradation of performance as the amount of data in stored in custom items increases. Also, I'm hoping that the custom item data is stored in separate tables from the ones Portal uses for it's own items attributes (e.g. created_date, description, search text, etc). I don't want to kill our Portal which is already being used for other things!
I'd be interested to know :
1) If anyone has developed a solution with more than, say, 5000 items stored in custom items, and how if at all performance was affected
and
2) If anyone has any other feedback on the architectural sense of what I'm proposing.
Thanks,
Mark

Got the same problem - but I don't want public to see the CUSTOMIZE link at all.

Portlet as item in content area folder?

I was wondering if anyone has thought of adding a new item type of type portlet to the folder container?
Is is possible now or coming down the road?
My problem is that I have 260 portlets that the user needs to navigate through in an artificial hierarchy of sorts. Tabs appear to work, but they are ugly when I do lots of nesting.
Any ideas?

The folder portlet offers only a subset of edit actions. We did
this to conserve space. This will be changed in the next
release of Portal, planned for December.

Jerry

Sort by "create date" in regular items within Content Area

Is this possible? I only see three option to sort by (default,
title and size. I need to sort by create date.
Is it possible?

You can also try grouping by Create Date, and turning off the
Group By banner in the style.

Accessing secured content area view from JPDK

Is it possible to access the secured content are views from JPDK?
For example if I am logged on as user USER1 in Portal, is it then possible to access WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS as USER1?

hi,
You can access Content Area APIs from any user using JDBC calls. But, you may have to grant 'EXECUTE' privileges on those procedures (& SELECT privilege if its a DB object like Table, VIEW).
If you are using PL/SQL procedures in your application, you can directly access them through PL/SQL calls, otherwise you have to use JDBC.

Security issue with content areas

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If you have, is there a work around? It seems like some of content area security is cached in the database. This is what happened in my two test cases.
Test case 1:
- First I created several content areas with subfolders by using the wwwsbr_api.
- I granted access to just to the content area, and not the subfolders. I did this because when I looked at the content areas created above, the Add Privileges To All Sub-folders was marked.
- Then when I login as the test user I was able to see the content area, but none of the subfolders. That didn?t surprise me because I was guessing that the radio button to add privileges to the subfolder was only used when the user pressed the Cascade Privileges button.
- I granted access to the all subfolders on the content areas the test user should be able to access.
- Then I login again with the test you. I move into the content area that I viewed the first time, and I still can?t see the subfolders. But I could see all the subfolders of the other content areas the test user had access to.
- I logged in to make sure the group was added to access the subfolders of the content area. The group did have access to the content area and all the subfolders, but the user still could not see the subfolders.
- The only way the test user was finally able to see the subfolders was for me to go to the content area and pressed the Cascade Privileges with Add Privileges To All Sub-folders marked.
So it seems like for some reason Oracle is storing the security, and not updating it when it is updated via API for content areas.
Test case 2:
- First I created several content areas with subfolders by using the wwwsbr_api.
- I granted access to just to the content area, and not the subfolders.
- Then when I login as the test user I was able to see the content area, but none of the subfolders.
- I alter the test user and give him the privilege to view all content areas.
- I login again as the test user, and I go to the content area I looked at the first time I logged in, but still couldn?t see any of the subfolders in it. I went to two other content areas, and was able to see all the subfolders.
- I alter the test user again removing the privilege to view all content areas.
- I login again as the test user and look at the second and third content area again. I still could see all the subfolders even though the user does not have access to them.
I have tried clearing cache, history, deleting all temporary files and restarting my computer to make sure that it was not caching issue in the browser.
Thanks,
Tom
