Blank content are naviagting navbar portlet

Hi, using portal 3.0.9.8.2 win2000
I have a content area where 2 groups have the same rights (view rights on sublevel folders) I have the navigation bar, consisting of the available categories, posted as portlet as well as a few subfolders.
both roles can view and navigate the folder portlets perfectly from their respective pages. the navbar is displayed for both groups as well.
But for one group when clicking on a category in the navbar it opens the content area, the navbar is displayed but the contentarea itself remains blank.
To check I created another navbar displaying a list of folders: same result.
I deleted the group from the administer tab, recreated it and set access rights all over again within the content area for that group: same result
please help: this is driving me nuts

Try, to use Item Type URL like /pls/portal30/portal30_DEMO.TASK_HOME.SHOW, it's not good but work.

Posting a content area as a portlet.

I am using a combination of content area portlets and PDK developed portlets. When I publish the folders in the content areas as a portlet they can sometimes be added to a page and sometimes cannot. All the time they show up on the provider list but I cannot understand why sometime I can add them and sometime I cannot add them to a page. All things are remaining the same.
Is there some checklist that I run against to see where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try refreshing your portlet repository? What release of Portal are you currently using? Which version of the PDK? On which platform?
Thanks,

Cannot publish a folder in my content area as a portlet

All,
Has anyone out there experienced or encountered the following problem depicted below. If yes, please let me know what you did or what steps/procedures you implemented to resolve this problem.
1. Go to content area an click the "Edit Folder" link.
2. Click the "Create Folder" link an select "container" as your folder type.
3. Click the next button and enter your folder display name and internal name. Leave the Category combo box as is General).
4. Click the finish button.
5. Edit the new folder.
6. Under the "Portlet Properties" section, set the "publish as portlet" checkbox.
7. Click the "Apply" or "Ok" button.
When I click the "apply" or "Ok" button, I receive the following error message:
Error: (WWS-00000)
Copyright) 2001, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved
Location: PORTAL30.wwv_main.main?p_language=us&p_cornerid=11470&p_edit=1&p_siteid=35&p_currcornerid=11470&p_calledfrom=1
I then click the "back" link on this error page that takes me back to the folder properties page. When I click the "apply" or "ok" button again, I am taken back to my content area page, which is the normal way for this process to work.
When I try adding a "URL" item to this folder, I get a blank page after hitting OK.
Next, I then try to add this folder as a portlet on my page. This folder portlet does not appear in portlet repository.
I subsequently go to the portlet repository and click the "refresh" link. I again encounter the following error message:
Error: (WWS-00000)
Copyright) 2001, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved
Location: http://www.reeis.usda.gov/servlet/page?_pageid=52&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&_type=site&_fsiteid=2&_fid=1&_fnavbarid=1&_fnavbarsiteid=2&_fedit=0&_fmode=2&_fdisplaymode=1&_fcalledfrom=1&_fdisplayurl=
Oracle support is currently working on this problem through metalink. But, if anyone out there has encountered this problem and had it resolved, can you please forward your solution to me.
This is very urgent.

In the Catalog, select the folder for the report(s) you want to update in the Folders pane. It should then appear in the Tasks pane (bottom left) with some options.
Select 'Permissions' and make sure that 'Hidden' attribute is unchecked. That worked for me.
There's also a 'Show Hidden Items' check box at the top right of the Catalog area that should be checked to view the filters in the Catalog area (rather than when ediiting a report).

Item Check out/in in content areas published as portlet

I have a content area I have published as a portlet. I have noticed that if I add an item (a file) and enable item check out, the icon to check out the file doesn't appear in the portlet. You have to open the content area in the content area navigation page to get the check out/in icon (and a few others.) Is there a way to do this inside the portlet?
Thanks
null

This is the intended behaviour, to simplify the portlet interface. You'll notice, too, that you can't edit a checked-out item in the portlet.
This will all change in the 3.1 release of the product.

Blank content area page - hide

I created a form in Adobe Designer and my content area page is appearing as page 1 when I'm in PDF view - I've never had this happen and I can't delete or move the page (form MUST have one content area). It was interesting because I had 7 pages in my form - everything was fine until I decided to move page 7 to the top (becoming page 1) - from then on my content area page began appearing....any help out there on how i can "hide" this blank page?? Thanks! Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
Now, the client just notified me that they don't want email submissions so I am off to find out how to se tup teh HTTP side.
Sorry I am not more help :-(

Displaying a Content Area using custom code

Hello list,
Is it possible to display the contents of
a content area as a custom portlet so that I
don't have to expose the content area as a
portlet and I can add custom formatting etc ?
Any tips ?
Sanjay

A number of SQL views are provided for retrieving information
from content areas. These views are documented in the PDK. For
folders, use the view WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS.

Default hyperlinks in Content Area

If I publish a content area as a portlet, is is always displayed with the name as hyperlink. Also, General is displayes as a hyperlink as well.
Is it possible to disable those hyperlinks? Also, is it possible to remove the customize link on portlets?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I wanted this also some time ago (NW04 SP14). At that time it was not possible without changing the standard renderer. I don't know of any new options that make it possible in newer versions.
Also be aware that the standard save-button on the edit-screen automatically closes the window. So you'll need to change that as well.
Hope it helps.

Exporting content areas/pages

Help please!!
I have created content areas and pages on the Oracle's hosted portal demo site and need to export them to our own server.. Can anyone advise on how this process is done and if its possible? your help is appreciated...
thanks

Hy, there is a white paper about export import.
But here comes how to do it:
in $ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu, you can find the import export utilities:
- contexp.cmd
- pageexp.cmd
also the import utilities are here. Use all the parameters in the same order as they come in the example (just type in contexp when you are in the right directory). Do the same for pages. Use -security options if you want to keep the security and the same for contexp with his own -page option. This should be done if you changed the page of the content area. They make a security.dmp and a pobpage.dmp in the current directory ($ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu). If you export 2 content area's don't forget that the -page & -security option will overwrite the pobpage.dmp and security.dmp file, so it will be better to do the export import immediatly after each other. Or copy the files after the export.
Very important is to check the portlets from the content area's if they exist. If you have a portlet provider in the content area and the portlet repository doesn't show that (refresh in the repository can help) then the corresponding portlets in pages will be deleted.
Search on Metalink for the Whitepaper Fill in : Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import White Paper and you will find all the information.
Good luck

Content area screwup

The default desktop in display rules for all users has been set to a custom one and the content area iview in that desktop is a blank page which means that we cannot see any of the content areas in the portal. That of course means that we are findind it impossible to chnage the setting back to default desktop.
What are the options here?
Thanks.

Hi Nir Vana
Try using the direct access to the content editor http://hostname:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=pcd%3Aportal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role/com.sap.portal.content_administration/com.sap.portal.content_admin_ws/com.sap.portal.portal_content&iview_mode=default

Blank page produced when clicking on title of Content Area Portlet in version 3.0.8

We are getting a blank page when we click the title of the ContentArea/Folder portlet in a page. The problem is with the URL, which has _mode=6 as a parameter. When we reoved that parameter from the url content area is loaded accurately. Can you please tell us how to fix this bug. We are using 3.0.8.

Portlets on Content Area Page

We are currently using 3.0.8 and are trying to add a footer region to the content area page. So the page has a header in the top region, a navbar and folder portlet in the middle region, and a footer in the bottom region.
When we put the footer in the bottom region on the content area page, it does not show up. If we move it to the middle region directly below the folder portlet, it shows up fine.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, any workaround?

We tried creating a page with only the folder portlet on it for the content area and trying to put another portlet below it. This still gives the same behavior.
We also tried it in 3.0.9 and did not see the problem there.

Portlet repository-- Seeded providers does not show Portal Content area

Hi,
When I login to portal as admin user go to administration --> Display portlet repository--> Seeded providers does not show Portal Content area.I tried to search but no results shown.
Any idea as to how to get it back ?
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

1. From the Portal Object Navigator, click on the Applications
tab.
2. In the "Find" box, type %search% and click "Go"
3. There are 2 reports you need to modify, depending on which
portlet provider you want to use: RPT_SEARCH (owned by
people_app) and SEARCH_RESULT (owned by wwv_system)
4. For each report, click the "Edit" link
5. Click the "Display Options" tab
6. Under the "Full Page Options" heading, change the "Size"
for "Row Text" to 12. (If you are running the reports as
portlets, then you must also change the "Size" for "Row Text"
under "Portlet Options".)
7. Click OK
Search results are now visble using either portlet, the Oracle
Portal provider or the PEOPLE_APP provider.
You may also need to change the field settings on the hierarchy
if now when you run the people search you receive SQL errors.
Here is what worked for me (assuming you want to change both
users components):
1. On the Application Tab search for %search% and %detail%
components. You don't need to change the WWMON components.
Change the font size on the full page and portlet options
(Display Options Tab)for the heading and text (I use 12 and
11pt). Otherwise the default can only be read with a magnifying
glass.
2. The org chart components are slightly different. Search for %
org% and you will find 2 components org_chart and orgchart. Both
of these need to have the column fields changed (Table or View
Column tab) as well as the font size for the Parent, Child,
Grandchild (Display Options Tab). Here are the Table Column
settings (for some reason they are initially blank - yet will
fail if recompiled without values):
People_App.Org_chart
1. key values:
primary key - empno
parent key - manager
start with - empno
ww_system.orgchart
1. Primary Key Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.ID
Parent Key Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.MANAGER
Start With Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.ID
Hope this helps. The second half of the answer provided by Rich
Pickett.
