Maybe your proxy is misconfigured that it blocks some parts. Check it within a HTTP trace. This should provide an answer.

Portal Theme Problem

Hello Everyone,
I have developed an application (Web Dynpro) and I am trying to apply some custom theme,
by setting a [sap-cssurl] parameter for this application.
The portal we are running is 7 sp 11, and there is a [true] value of the parameter
UseWebDynproStylesheet in the visual admin. My application must use
some different theme from the one set on the J2EE engine.
The issue is:
Some UI elements (such as dropdowns and date navigators) do not use the settings set in
the theme, and use some kind of default, ignoring the theme settings, which makes them pretty ugly.
By the way, if I am not setting the link with full domain name, they cannot be used,
giving me JavaScript error (Access denied).
Could anyone give me the correct direction and point to where I can find resolution?
Maybe because some UI settings are not included in the CSS file?
Points awarded for helpful suggestions.

Problem with portal theme for WD Application

Hi Experts,
We have enhanced our ECC with EHP4 and SP18 in our existing portal.And now i am getting some theme problem.
I have few Wendynpro ABAP application in the portal which was coming with correct theme earlier bur after
enhancement all the other application in the portal are coming with the proper theme except all the
Webdynpro abap application.
All the WDApplicatio are coming as blue same like its coming in the backend system.I tried with many option
but i am not able to correct it since i have very little knowledge about the portal.
Thanks,
Satya

The problem is probably due to the fact that ERP Enhp4 contains NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 in which SAP delivers the Lightspeed rendering and the new Signature theme SAP_TRADSHOW_PLUS. The Portal at the 7.0 SP18 release level would not have the correct mimes for Tradeshow Plug or for Lightspeed. If the UR rendering of the backend is higher than that of the portal, it has to fallback to using the local stylesheet of the ABAP AS to protect that hte rendering is done correctly (see OSS Note 1267950 and 1033496). You can try the option WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET, but because of the drastic differences in the 7.01 and 7.0 rendering this will very likely lead to rendering errors (visual errors or more serious - JavaScript errors).

Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack). The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom). As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
Thank you

Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table. All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11
Regards.

Web Dynpro application does not apply portal theme

Hi Guys,
We created a new portal theme and assigned it to our users. The portal desktop gets assigned succesfully and portal applications also show the new theme colors. But all web dynpro pages still show in the blue SAP theme. This issue only occurs on our development portal, when we import the same theme on our test portal is all works fine.
I also tried to assign the WebDynpro parameters "sap.useWebDynproStyleSheet" and "sap.theme.default" and then the web dynpro applications are indeed forced into the portal theme. However, that is no soluition since all web dynpro applications then use the theme including SAP applications like the NetWeaver Administrator.
We looked at OSS note '1446099 - Web Dynpro application not displayed
in customer theme' but the stylesheets are not different.
sap portal sytlesheet: UR=7.31.0.14.1
Web Dynpro Style sheet: UR Version=7.31.0.14.0
The portals in which the theme does work have the same stylesheet versions as mentioned above.
We also created an OSS message for this so if we solve it that way I will update this message. But if there is anyone on this forum that might have an idea that it would be highly appreciated. If the problem takes too long to solve we will perform a refresh from a portal that works but I hope that we will be able to find the reason of this behavior.
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden...

In theory, these versions should work correctly.
You can compare the patch levels applied on your dev portal and test portal - specifically compare the version/patch for the component EPPSERV*.SCA - and see if you have any differences there.
Thanks,
Shanti

Webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
we use on instance 03 portal on netweaver2004s, sp12, which calls webdynpros with iview for abap on intstance 02, where ist netweaver 2004s sp12, abap stack.
The problem is that the webdynpro is no more rendered with portaltheme. In the prevoius version of abap (netweaver2004s sp9) it was rendered with the portal theme.
Abap- and portal-server are in the same domain.
Where is the solution?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hello Brad,
SAP-Note 1033496 is the solution.
The problem was, that I have added the parameter WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET falsely in iview-configuration and not as parameter to webdynpro.
Remarkable is, that portal and webdynpro-abap-backend have the same neteweaver2004s, sp12.
Best regards

Portal theme not picked for SAP Web Dynpro Iview

Hi,
We have used light framework page for our portal and all the iviews display the content within the iviews in the same set of colors (blue for buttons). However, for a WD java content, I have created an SAP Web Dynpro iView and the contents displayed here appear in the SAP colors without picking those set for the portal.
The same application parameters display the portal colors when we use the Web Dynpro Proxy iview.
Any idea how I can make the SAP Web Dynpro iView appear like the other portal iviews?
Note: The stylesheet property for the iview is already entered (ur), and I have also set the 'Supply Portal stylesheet' property to 'Yes'.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi ,
In ABAP Webdynpro for similar problem we used WDFORCEEXTERNAL Sheet property of WDA.
The Web Dynpro framework automatically compares the versions of the portal and Web Dynpro
for ABAP style sheets. If the Web Dynpro for ABAP has a newer version, the WDA style sheet is used. This avoids unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors.You can deactivate this behavior again using the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET application parameter of WDA.See also SAP Notes 1033496 .
If you use the stylesheet of the portal to display the application, the rendering may not appear correctly and Javascript errors can occur(If portal style sheet is lower than WD).
Though Iam not familiar with WD java , the property force portal style sheet in WD java application should be enough to make WD accept portal theme.

Hi,

Javascript error throws the portal theme configuration page

General Description: Javascript error and jump to the portal theme
configuration page
EP: NW04s SP12 including KMC
We have a problem when we entry to the portal, a javascript
error happens and immediately jumps to the portal theme configuration
page. We entry at the portal with a user that have assigned the next groups.

The role LR_MX_ROL_Administrador, have assigned only one page called:

And immediately show the portal theme configuration page.
We need that the user see the page assigned, but this error shows him
always the portal theme configuration page. This kind of error happens with
other roles too. We've found a workaround
for this situation, doing click on the first level navigation, the
LR_MX_PAG_Edicion page shows normally.
Thank for any help.

Referring to images from portal theme attributes

In our branded and customized theme we have a problem. Some background images are not displayed. The properties are set as displayed at the end of this message, I am not familiar with this type of value. The background image is White, and then an url to an (external file:outside the theme???) is given that points to an image. which cannot be found when putting the url directly into a portal session.
Is this background indeed a file outside the theme archive? and where could I look to find this?!
I thank you in advance, points will be awarded for good answers!

Semantic colour of Table Cell gets overwritten by Portal Theme

Hi,
In one webdynpro table, I need to show a column with Red-Amber-Green colour depending on some other column value and the colour column has no value. I have used WDTableCellDesign class constants BADVALUE_DARK (Red), CRITICALVALUE_DARK (Amber) and POSITIVE(Green) and attached it with the 'cellDesign' property of the table column to fill it with colours.
The colour shows perfect when the table row is not selected. But when the row gets selected the lead selection colour change (defined in Portal theme) overwrites the cellDesign colour and it is not possible to identify the table column colour.
My relevant Portal theme values are shown below:
complex elements->Tables->Selected Cells
Background Color of Primary Selection=#FFC54E
Background Color of Secondary Selection=#FCDD82
Background Color of Read-Only Primary Selection=#FFC54E
Background Color of Read-Only Secondary Selection=#FCDD82
complex elements->Tables->Semantic Colour
Color of Bad Value (Dark)->#F66767
Color of Critical Value (Dark)->#FBA643
Background Color of Positive Cells->#AACDA1
Can you please tell me a way to solving this problem through code and not changing the portal theme.
Regards
Arindam

Hi Arindam,
You can not change the color of lead selction dynamically. Also , if you use another theme specifc to your webdynpro application, then portal theme will over-shadow it.
What I guess is the color of lead selction is your problem. What you can try if you change the selectionMode property of table to None, then you can avoid this problem and you can still refer your lead slection.

Custom Theme Problem - Urgent

Hi all ,
I have installed EP SP12 on Unix and I have a strange problem in my custom theme . When I am trying to open and edit my custom theme , I am unable to see almost all the elements ( eg : images , drop down ) . Pls anyone throw some light into this problem .Thanks
Regards
Aneez

Annez,
How did you create this custom theme? Selected the pre-delivered Theme and save as your custom and making changes or did you import it from some other environment?
If you import EP5 themes you may not see the same thing
in EP6.
Can you provide a bit more information? Also check the installation on if all the theme related components are deployed OK.

Neeta

Hello Neeta,
In the view "Multiple Property Replacement", you can add the Folder, containing your webDynpro iViews to the list of selected objects. You can do this by clicking right button on the Folder in the tree and selecting add folder to list.
now you can click next. on this view you select just "iView" an click next again.
in this step 3 you select search for objects by poperty-ID. as property ID you will use "LAF_Switch". You can copy and paste this. as value, you will use "true".
next screen (step 4 ) will show you how many objects will be changed.
in step 5 you can select which iVewes really shall be changed, if there are some, that should not be changed. for your first try, you can select only one and see, if this works as you want.
hope this helps,
best regards,
Christian

Portal themes and Web page composer

Hi,
I am wondering how applying portal themes would impact the views in Web Page composer based / created sites?
We are trying to create new sites using web page composer tool but was wondering if simply applying portal themes solves our problems of display (colors etc). I know that portal themes would not cover the layout of the pages but atleast we only have one other thing to solve.
By the way was also wondering if I got the concept correctly. When an admin person applies a portal theme, the specific team he or she assignes to the users will be permanent for all the users under a role or group right?
thanks in advance

Well Alvin, logically the theme applied to portal should take over any content published using WPC. I remember during our implementation, we did not have to had any extra efforts for creating themes for WPC sites :-)...Also for your other question, as per the display rule applied, the theme will be applied to all the users under a group.
~Cheers,
Vivek
