Check out native doc from Site Studio Contributor

Why can't I (or my users) check out a native document from a dynamic list in contribution mode? Is there any way to accomplish this (besides installing software on every client's computer)? I modified the default dynamic list fragment to use the pdf (web-viewable) link to the document in lieu of the regular Site Studio URL (so that Site Studio doesn't try to apply the document to dynamic converter), as I want to simply display the PDF when the user clicks on it.
All of that works great, and I can still check in documents just fine. However, "Edit Target" doesn't work in contribution mode, and even if I view the info on the document, and check it out from there, it doesn't even give me the link to download the original document. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

I guess, image needs to be in the Content Server. You can try desktop integration suite or webdav so that user can easily checkin the digital assets to the content server.

  • Hidden Assets like element definition, region definition from site studio designer

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing problem in Site Studio Designer, I have created a new Website and Created Page Template and when i tried to create the site assets like element definition, region definition, region templates. It's visible and when i refresh the list or change the list from element definition to region definition and again open the tab of element definition, the definition list removes or hide from the list in Site Studio Designer and when i check the content server for the same region definitions, element definitions all are present in content server but hides from site studio designer. Can any one please help me out resolve this issue i am unable to edit any assets.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    First, the Override Editor CSS is ONLY used to change the CSS for the contributor editor. For instance, if you have a div tag that encompasses the entire website and specify it to be center-aligned, everything within your WYSIWYG editor will be center-aligned too (not ideal). So you could, for instance, use the Override Editor CSS to have the same div class that overrides the text within the contributor to be left-aligned.
    As far as not being able to apply the CSS, I'm not too sure. You should at least be able to create a completely blank HCSP layout page, and see that no classes are available (because there is no CSS on the page). When you have a CSS, I've found that the classes loaded aren't always necessarily the ones that are in the CSS. My recommendation is to select "Allow selected classes", ONLY use the "additional classes", and type in the classes you want to show up in the CSS WYSIWYG dropdown. That's the only way I've gotten it to work.

  • How to make a call  to service from site studio templates?

    Hi,
    May be this is very basic but I am not able to figure out how to make a call to a service from site studio templates (hcsp). I have seen one example of service call in the dynamic list fragment. It makes a call to SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS service using executeService() method. But it doesn't take any parameters and also not very how returned results are captured.
    I want to execute WCM_PLACEHOLDER service. It takes 2 main parameters dataFileDocName and templateDocName. The returned result is typically a html response.
    The service typically is executed using http request and the url would be something like this
    http://hd-pratapm/ucm/idcplg?IdcService=WCM_PLACEHOLDER&dataFileDocName=VIRTUSAINC&templateDocName=DETAILS_REGION_TEMPLATE
    I think SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS service works in the similar fashion. I want to execute WCM_PLACEHOLDER service too using executeService() method. How to work with this? How can we pass parameters and capture returned results?
    Regards,
    Pratap

    Hey Pratap,
    If you are on a standard Site Studio template (page or subtemplate) you should be able to call the wcmPlaceholder idoc function directly. In fact calling the idoc function provides a lot more functionality then the service call (they locked down a few things in the service call since it is designed to be called from an external application).
    The idoc call would look something like: <!--$wcmPlaceholder("Sales", "placeholderDefinitionDocName=placedef_salescontact")--> (taken from page 208 in this doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/SiteStudio/10gr4/Pdf/Site_Studio_10gR4_Designer_Guide.pdf)
    As a general note when you are in idoc script and want to execute a service you call <$executeService()$> as you saw in the dynamic list. The parameters that the service runs on are in the data binder of the current request. To set parameters for an execute service you simply set idoc variables on the page before it. Example:
    <!--$QueryText="dDocType <matches> `Document`" -->
    <!--$executeService("GET_SEARCH_RESULTS")-->
    As for the response when you execute an idoc function, like wcmPlaceholder, that returns a String the response is immediately output to the page in the location you called the function. This would be similar in concept to a jsp scriptlet that outputs a string <%=myResponseString%>
    Hope that helps,

    I am using site studio designer (Version 10gR4 10.1.4.5.0 and component version 7.7.0.1 Build 9.0.0.470).
    Please provide if you have any solution or information to fix the issue, I have tried the using different systems/machines having firefox, but facing the same problem

    This seems to be covered by the support note 1465975.1 (Unable to Enter into Site Studio Contribution Mode After Upgrading to Firefox 13)
    The solution from the note:
    If on an 10g system upgrade to Site Studio 10gR4 build 9.0.0.793 or greater.
    If on an 11g system upgrade to Site Studio 11g build 11.0.0.786 or greater. For example the 11g MLR 11 for a .6 system has this fix and the 11g MLR 18 for a .5 system has this fix.
    If the version is not available with the current patchset on the 10g Content Server please open a new Service Request with Oracle Support and reference this Note ID and the build will be provided.

  • Site studio contributor data files with sections

    Is it possible to have sections with in site studio contribution data files and display list of section titles as hyper links in site studio site and show only that section content on click of section title.
    Number of sections are vary from document to document (So we can't use one element as a single section).
    Thanks...

    I am not aware that out-of-the-box Site Studio would have such an options.
    You do have sections (defined in Region Definition), so most likely you'd have to customize your user experience (so that only sections defined on the fly are shown). Note that Region Definition corresponds to a logical "object" (you may abstract that sections are object's attributes), so rather than show/hide sections you might also want to select a different region definition. I also remember that some time ago Site Studio was able to do "lazy load" (display a section only if user asked for it - this requirement tried to address slow loading times of the page); unfortunately, I'm not sure how this feature can be turned on.

  • Styling items in Site Studio Contributor

    Hello,
    Similar to the way that contributors can style text by assigning predefined CSS classes through the style drop-down menu in a Site Studio Contributor form, I would also like to give them the ability to style ordered lists and tables (border-type, mainly). Is this possible? I have tried specifying these styles to be added in the style drop-down menu with no luck, as it seems to ignore any non text-based styles with some exceptions. If accomplishing this is not possible, is there a way to pre-format these lists/tables and give contributors options to pick from? Using WYSIWYG elements is not an acceptable solution for me because most of my contributors do not know anything about HTML and CSS. I come from an Interwoven system that has many features available for administrators to set (which CSS classes are available, context-sensitivity of classes, etc.). I am wondering if there is something similar in UCM.
    If I am unclear, please let me know and I will elaborate.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Is it possible to check out whole repository from dtr command line tool?

    Hi
    I wonder is it possible to check out whole repository from dtr command line tool.
    Normally, in NWDS i have to log into SLD, select a component, then select components i want to check out into workspace.
    I would like to do some static analysis (PMD, etc) but checkiing out everything manually is really painfull.
    Are there any guides how to check out everyhing from the command line (so i would nothave to specify any paths except top level components)?

    Hi,
    I don't know of a feature which would allow to check out "everything" from the "root".
    checkout Checks the given resource out.
    Syntax checkout/co \[-exclusive| -x] resource \[activity]
    Options exclusive|x If specified the resource is exclusively checkout-out.
    Arguments resource The resource that should be checked out.
    activity The path or name of the open activity that should be used for the checkout, if no activity is specified one is implicitly created.
    Output Variables
    $wr[] Working resources
    $act[] Activities
    Description Checks a resource out.
    Examples
    Checkout a file within a given activity
    Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" in the activity "/act/myActivity".
    checkout /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt /act/myActivity
    Checkout a file
    Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" in an activity that is implicitly created and returned in the output variable "$act".
    checkout /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt
    Checkout a file exclusively
    Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" exclusively in an activity that is implicitly created and returned in the output variable "$act".
    checkout -x /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt
    Can you please also tell us what kind of statistics you intend to create? Sorry I don't know what PMD abbreviates.

  • Auto assign contentID from Site Studio Designer

    We automatically assign ContentIDs in the system upon Check-In using the Auto Number Prefix in the server configuration. However, when adding Site Assets through Site Studio Designer, this appears to have no affect, since that is the Assign Info Form and not the Check-In form.
    Any recommendations on enforcing auto-contentIDs from Site Studio Designer?

    Hi there,
    Personally, I wouldn't want to auto-assign dDocName to Site Studio asset related files (i.e. fragments, layouts, etc). I prefer to provide my own value based on the asset's purpose or name. Really helps you distinguish what that particular asset is for. Having a generic, system derived dDocName makes it harder to trace and associate.

  • Labview cannot check out a license from the VLM

    Hello,
    I have a user with Labview v7.1 Pro that was working and checking out a license from the VLM v2.0 server but for some reason now, he can not check out a license and he gets an error.  He indicates nothing has changed on his side.  Yet, when he attempts to run Labview, I do not see any activity within the lmgrd.log file.  I would think it would appear in here.
    Can someone please contact me to discuss this problem?  If activity logs or other information is needed, I can provide it at that time.
    Thank you,

    The user is connecting to the license server properly and this (below) is logged in the lmgrd.log file on the license server.  I tried adding the user to the VLM but this did not help.  I confirmed the case on both the user and computer name but still no luck.  The user indicates the message on his client when he tries to run it is (something like), "No licenses left and/or feature expired"  Any ideas?  Should he reinstall this version?  I can forward the activity log (encrypted) and/or the lmgrd.log file if you like.  Thanks,

  • Site Studio Contributor as a form

    I have a requirement where end users need to fill in a short form (1 x plain text field, 1 x WYSIWYG field) and submit it as an xml file to the content server. We cannot use the Site Studio Contributor in this scenario, but wanted to hook into the Site Studio services/methods/functions mainly for security i.e. cross site scripting etc.
    Does anyone know if documentation for services/functions to use? Any tips would be much appreciated.

  • Uploading New iamges - Site Studio Contributor

    Currently I am working on developing a site with Site Studio. I have created all the necessary components for user contribution but I have a majro stumbleblock for adding new images. Currently, both the WYSIWYG element and the Image element in Site Studio only allow contributors to select images that are already on the content server. If not on the content server, the users have to check in new content to be able to select it. I want the users to be able to select images directly from their local machine and upload them to the site through site studio and not having to go through ucm, the same way you can upload files by choosing local content and then check it in through site studio. Am I missing something here or it cannot be done this way?
    any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I guess, image needs to be in the Content Server. You can try desktop integration suite or webdav so that user can easily checkin the digital assets to the content server.

  • Not publishing entire site with all pages from site studio Designer

    Hi,
    I have created the site with one primary page & one secondary page in the site designer. I must admit that they don't have link to each other. When I publishing this site using Oracle Site studio publishing utility to a subscriber, it is publishing the primary page as index.htm in the destination. It is not pulling the secondary page. But i would like to get the entire site including the secondary page. What needs to be done to get the entire site. If you have any idea, please let me know.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    One way is setting a region in secondary as 'set replaceable' and geting ssURL from the code and link them in primary page.

  • Upgrading from Site Studio R3 to R4

    We're upgrading to the current version of Site Studio R4 from R3. We've installed Site Studio R4 server components on the server in a separate test environment. BUT - if we were to install it on our development server where the content for our existing R3 sites is served, am I correct that it should serve the R3 sites properly and allow me edit R3 sites in Site Studio Designer R4 without first re-making the site in Designer R4 from the ground up?
    Or is there a conversion process I will have to go through with each of our sites that were designed in the previous version?
    And is there anywhere on Oracle's site that explains the upgrade process and what's compatible and not?
    Thanks!
    Barry

    10gR3 to 10gR4 is backwards compatible with the exception of Custom Element Forms.
    Also, "backwards compatible" means you can still use contribution regions instead of the new placeholder model, but you won't get many of the benefits of the new model until you go in and recode those pieces. It does however give you the ability to run your pre-upgrades sites as is and build new sites with all the new features. As well as work on updating pre-upgrade sites incrementally.

  • Modifying the Site Studio Contributor Form

    Is there a way to modify the wcm.sitestudio.form.htm? I say this because each time I make a simple change to it, Site Studio doesn't use my change. It looks like it's reverting to a different copy other than the one I edited.
    I can see a custom/sitestudio/wcm.sitestudio.form.js file - so I'm assuming I can add any Javascript mods there, but what about the form htm file itself?
    Basically here's what I'm trying to achieve. I'm using a jquery library to resize certain images on the Site Studio layout files. But when you're in Contributor mode you see these images as full size. I'd like to use that same jquery library when the contributor is in the edit mode to resize the images in it as well.
    Thanks.

    Update: I found the answer to my problem. I found I can use a simple component to over ride this file.
