Hi,
There is only possible for 0,1,2 top level navigation. Not possible for 3 levels. Check the below link for details.

But you can customize the top level navigation. Check the below document.

Customizing the top level navigation

When you logon to the portal we usually have the top level navigation and second level navigation, I need the navigation in a different manner, that the navigation that they are looking for is more like a drop down (menu with the drop down items )
I am at the client's place.It is very urgent.please help me
Thanks

You have to write your own Top Level Navigation iVIew.
You can do this by using Navigation Tag Libraries.
Check the Help documetation

I think what you want is this: Tag Libraries: Creating a Hover Menu in SAP NetWeaver Portal
Its sounds like your case.
These things may have a learning curve involved which may seem confusing. But they are not.
Hope this helps you.

How to merge top level navigation into detail navigation panel.

Hi All,
I want to add all the contents of top level navigation into detail navigation panel and remove top level navigation.I am looking for the code with which i can shift the top level navigation to detail level navigation.

You could edit the top-level navigation iview and set the Number of Display levels property's value to 0.
you can reach the Top-level navigation iview by going through the following path
1) Content Administration --> Portal Content --> Content Provided by SAP --> Admin Interfaces --> Top-level navigation
However, note that once you do this the whatever menus that are available in the top level will not be available anymore.
Maybe, you could copy the standard Top-level navigation into a framework page that you have created and then make the change. After doing so, you can assign it to groups/roles you want. This will ensure that the CONTENT/SYSTEM/USER administrators see the normal portal framework and specific user groups alone dont see the Top level navigation..

Top Level Navigation Problem

Hi guys,
recently, I ran into something really strange. The Top Level Navigation (TLN) became faulty. If the user clicks on certain entries in First Level Navigation or Second Level Navigation the content area is not loaded properly. The content area stays empty as well as the detailed navigation iView (no navigation entries listed). Furthermore, the TLN does not get updated.
The weird thing is it only affects a few users and the set of affected navigation tabs is different for every user. The problem affects standard tabs (System Administration, Content Administration, etc.) as well as custom tabs. The set of affected users and the set of affected tabs seems to be arbitrary chosen.
A new log entry is written every time the problem occurs. Find an example below:

[PortalNode.fireEventOnNode.toEventListener] event=onNodeReadyEvent, target=com.sap.netweaver.coll.CollaborationDetailedNavigation, operation failed

While searching SDN I found a SAP Note that might be interesting. SAP Note 982496 contains the description of a similar problem with almost the same error message. However, this SAP Note describes a problem of NW 2004 SPS 17. A problem that should be solved in newer releases. We patched our system last time (NW2004s SPS 09) a few month ago. We never had any similar problems until last week when the above described problems started.
Unfortunately, the problem starts to escalate. More and more users and more and more navigation tabs are affected.
Does anyone of you have any experience with this kind of problems? Please suggest how to troubleshoot and solve this very annoying problem. Of course, I am going to reward helpful answers.
Best regards,
Martin

Hi Harini,
thanks for your suggestions.
1) Clearing the browser cache did not help at all.
2) We disabled the navigation cache a long time ago. That means navigation is not cached.
3) We are going to restart the portal server today. I keep you updated.
Best regards,
Martin

Highlighting parent level navigation

Hi,
Can someone help me on how to highlight the parent level navigation when child level navigation is selected using idoc script?
Thank you,

Do you mean within Site Studio?
If I remember correctly...
SiteStudioNavNodes resultset should contain the list of all the nodes in the hierarchy.
So as you iterate through the navigation and build your markup you need to change the CSS class depending on this.

Three-level ADF Tree from HR Schema

JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 + ADFBC + ADFRC
Hello all!
I am stumped on this one. I want to create a tree based on the HR schema that includes three levels: Department Name > Job Title > Employee Name.
In other words, I want the root node to be Department Name. Then, when the Department name node is expanded, I want a list of all Job Titles under that department. When the Job Titles node is expanded, a list of all employee names under that Job Title and in that Department.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Edited by: Alexander Pepper on Jan 19, 2009 6:54 AM

Thanks Shay, thats exactly the information I was missing. Thanks also for the really quick responses.
So now the I have the three level relationship that works perfectly in the BC tester. I choose a department, select the Jobs node and see all Jobs belonging to that apartment, then click the Employees node under the Jobs node and see all employees with that job.
However, the ADF tree still does the same thing. I've even tried creating the whole model layer manually instead of using the Business Components from Tables wizard to make sure that the proper ViewLinks were being used, and not the automatically generated ones. Still, no difference.
Are you aware if this has definitely been done successfully before? Is there anything else I could be missing?

Hello,
You can follow these links to get the result that you want. You can get the desired result either using the custom list or a site map. Please make sure when you edit the master page, dont work on the original v4.master. Always make a a copy and then work
on it.
This link will show you how get that navigation using a list.

Can we control the top level navigation in portal from a java application

Hello,
I am having a scenario where User logged in to portal and assigned with 2 roles (HOME , ISA(Java application)). When user opened a form in ISA (Java application) and tried to enter the data in form and moved to another tab (e.g. HOME) in top level navigation.
When user come back to ISA (Java application) TAB , we show the page where he left earlier. I would like to know if user click any other TAB in top level navigation (Role assigned to him) while working on a page in ISA(Java application) is there any way we can catch that event before he leaves from ISA (Java application JSP page) to other TAB?
How can we control the top level navigation events in the portal from a java application .Since Top level navigation is seperate par file.
Thanks,
RN

Dear Rajesh,
Top Level and detailed navigation values comes with iteration in the respective par file.
Please check the par file and based on the value (i.e tab name) selected, you can write your code.

Show a menu of roles in the Top Level Navigation

Hello,
Imagine a scenario where a user has many roles assigned to him (say 40 roles). In that case the user will have 40 tabs in the first level of the top level navigation and by default a horizontal scroller appears on the right part of the screen clicking on which the roles will scroll horizontally. If the user has to go to the 40th role he has to click quite a lot.
Is it possible to have a menu option clciking on which we get the all the list of roles in the top level navigation in a vertical list and we can directly jump to any role clicking on the entry in the list ?
Something like what we get in a tab strip in Web Dynpro.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have menus as you wish .
Look at the following links

You need to work on navigation tag libraries to extend number of levels .
The above inks helps you only for single level of navigation.

Design Bar in the Top Level Navigation

hi,
How to get rid of the Design Bar in the Top Level Navigation, Design Bar is the small space before Home tab in the Portal ?
Thanks in advance....

Hi Adi,
Go to System Administration-Portal Display-Theme Editor-> Choose the theme that you want to change->Portal Mast head->
On the lower right hand side, you would find a window with a scroll bar, scroll down to Masthead Design bar and if you do not want it to appear, you can try setting the height and width as 0 px. Just play around in here to resolve the isssue.
Good Luck!

How to hide name of Role from the top level navigation of the portal

Hi Experts,
In my project, I have created 2 roles Role A and Role B. These roles have been assigned to User X.
When user X logs in, he is able to see name of role that is 'A' in the top level navigation.
As per the requirement, user X should not see the 'A'.
Rather user X should see following:
Top Level Navigation: 'My Work'
When user clicks on 'My Work', he should see
'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2'.
After that under 'My Sub Work1' user should see following
All Objects of Role A
All Objects of Role B
Name of role i.e. 'A' or 'B' should not be displayed at all at any place in navigation.
Only whatever objects has been assigned to Role A and B should be displayed in detailed navigation area.
Can you please let me know how to achieve this?
Pictorial Diagram:
                  My Work       (In top level navigation)
My Sub Work1    My Sub Work2    (In top level navigation)
_________Objects of role
A
       |
       |_________Objects of role
                               B
Please note that 'My Work' and 'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2) are not roles. They are just the name of folders.
Can you please let me know how to achieve it?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Try the following steps.
1. Change the 'Entry Point' property of Roles A and B to 'No'.
2. Create a role folder called 'My Work' under A and B.
3. Set the 'Entry point' property of this folder to 'Yes'.
4. Set the 'merge id' property of the folder as "mywork" (or any other string) under both roles A and B.
5. Under 'My Work' in Role A,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 50.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work1' and create all your objects.
6. Under 'My Work' in Role B,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 100.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work2' and create all your objects.
7. Make sure the user is assigned both the roles A and B. Only then he/she can see objects of both the roles.
8. One thing to remember while merging folders is that, all the entities that are being merged should be at the same level. For eg: in our case, you cannot merge 'my subwork1' in role A, with 'my work' in role B.

Adding Content To the Top-Level of Navigation bar ?

Hi,experts ,

Hi Eleanor,
If you already created a role with an entry point and assigned it directly to you user, you may just have to refresh the portal page. You may also check the authorizations of you role.
