Content Area Builder Background

Hello,
It's possible to set the Content Area Builder page background and style? Because if I change the OS Setting (Aspect) my page change the background color and I want to fix it.
Many Thanks

"Portal Content Area Builder" how to get rid of this page heading?

"Portal Content Area Builder" how to get rid of this page heading?
Hi All
I have created a Single page Website..??? by using folders.
when a user click on any link that call a folder but not a page and that folder is displayed with the layout specified in "Content Area Page" however there is no such option available to change the Heading <Title>Page title</Title> for browsers so for every folder called it displays a Oracle defined Content area page title.
"Portal Content Area Builder"
Is there anywork around for this.
Thanks.
Rakesh.

This problem is fixed in Release 2. There is no supported workaround in 3.0.

Writing a specific text in the title bar of a content area

Hallo,
We have created several Content Areas which will be published as Webpage (NOT as Portlet to a Portal-Page! As example you can visit our Project Homepage http://pan.wsr.ac.at:7778/pls/portal30/url/FOLDER/ACCESSLAB/).
Unfortunatly in the Title bar of the Browser there is always displayed the Title "Portal Content Area Builder".
How can we change this Title to a more descriptive one for each specific Content Area respectively each Folder of a specific Content Area?
Thanks,
Christian

The frame title is (typically) set in a native OS frame, which is not controlled by Java.
Perhaps if you tell Java to let the L&F control the frame decorations it might work, but probably not, as it would probably just try to mimic what the OS does anyway, which is to not support HTML.
So basically, you can't.

Page Background Lost on Regions above Content Area for Some Pages

Hi - I am a iWeb novice, but not a total rookie on this kind of software...
I have a simple iWeb project that applies a gradient fill to the page background, and applies one of the gradient colors to the Browser background on every web page. I am using the "White" theme, and I have trouble with the "Photos" page template drawing Page backgrounds correctly. I have my content area set wider than the default to 1008 pixels to fill a 1024-wide display. I set my display area to 877 pixels high to coincide with the largest media dimension that I see with the inspector.
I looked here for previous discussions on this and failed to find anything. Maybe I missed a post...
Initially, most web pages load and display correctly the first time. One Photos web page, however, displays the Browser background - not the Page background above the centerline of the page name.
On several pages with a "Photos" template (but not all), the initial page is displayed correctly. But, when I click on a photo thumbnail and the page is revised to display the larger photo image in the content area, the Browser background is displayed in error above the content area, and the Page background displays correctly below the top of the content area.
I have looked for some consistent issue or characteristic that might let me predict when this problem occurs, but it ll looks rather random. It is repeatable, though - clearing caches and reloading the same page exposes the problem the same way a second time for the same page, in other words...
Is this a bug, or something subtle in placement or overlap of areas on the page that I haven't noticed? Anything to be careful with to avoid this problem?
Thanks anyone for any advice!

Hi Cyclosaurus and Apnewbie -
Thank you for your interest and replies. Here is a simple page that illustrates the problem I am having with a Page Background Gradient Fill on top of a Browser Background Solid Fill
http://web.mac.com/bccrowe/Troubleshooting/KyliesArt2.html
Here, I intend the page from the very top to the bottom of the defined content area to transition from pink to white as the eye moves left to right. The browser background is also pink to add some depth to the image - that's what you will see when the page loads.
Click on the child's drawing to present the image, and you should see the gradient disappear above the centerline of the second text box (above the comment area) when the page finished loading with the large drawing.
The Content area coincides precisely with the bottom of that second text box. I have tried to move the content area further below the text boxes so that they are not imtimate - no difference. I haven't tried to separate the text boxes, yet.
The two text boxes immediately above the content area are 45px x 630 px (18 pt text) and 30 px x 630 px (14 pt text) - they overlap by about 10 pix.
The content area that displays the thumbnail is 1008 px x 445 px (I thought that I set that at 877px...). I can try to set the content area to 877 px... Maybe this is the problem - maybe the Page Background shifts down to coincide with the bottom of the next page#2... Hmmm...
When you click on the thumbnail, the page#2 content area is 1008 px x 877 px.
In iWeb, this all looks the way I want it to.
Please diddle with the page, and ask me any new questions! I appreciate your insight and help. In reality, Kylie won't notice the background change, but my next objective is a corporate site - this child's site is my "training" site. iWeb is really pretty flexible and easy to use. If I there's a work-around or something to avoid, I can live with iWeb just fine.
Thanks again -
Brian

"Cannot get inner content of frm1 because the contents are not literal." error in building a dynamic form within other HTML

Hi,
I am trying to build an aspx form dynamically but I have to user some HTML tags among controls. I am getting the error "Cannot get inner content of frm1 because the contents are not literal." in my
oForm.InnerHtml += "</fieldset>";
instruction. If I put it before adding the text and button controls to the form the error is gone. What am I doing wrong, if I want the controls to be inside a <fieldset> ... </fieldset> tag?
public void LoadForm()
HtmlForm oForm = new HtmlForm();
oForm.ID = "frm1";
oForm.Action = "";
oForm.InnerHtml += "<fieldset>";
oForm.InnerHtml += "<legend> ### TITALO ### </legend>";
HtmlInputText oText = new HtmlInputText();
oText.ID = "txt";
HtmlInputSubmit oSubmit = new HtmlInputSubmit();
oSubmit.ID = "btn";
oSubmit.Value = "submit";
oForm.Controls.Add(oText);
oForm.Controls.Add(oSubmit);
oForm.InnerHtml += "</fieldset>";
main.Controls.Add(oForm);
Thanks, regards.
Bruno

According to articles (e.g.
http://forums.asp.net/t/939432.aspx?Panel+GroupingText), in order to include a
<fieldset>, you can use a Panel control having GroupingText
attribute. Therefore, instead of dealing with InnerHtml, try this:
var panel = new Panel { GroupingText = "### TITALO ###" };
panel.Controls.Add(oText);
panel.Controls.Add(oSubmit);
oForm.Controls.Add(panel);
main.Controls.Add(oForm);

How to pass variable to content area from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to create a(Content area) folder based on a PL/SQL procedure that takes a variable as a
parameter and returns data based on value of that parameter to the folder . Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

Somewhere, in one procedure, build a session identifier and save your variable there. If no session with that identifier is previously stored, it will create a new session instance with that ID for you.
declare
l_sess portal30.wwsto_api_session;
varvalue number;
begin
varvalue := 100;
l_sess := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
l_sess.set_attribute('VAR_NAME',varvalue);
l_sess.save_session;
end;
In your other procedure, or anywhere else needed within that same session, simply load the session and reference the variable. To reference the variable, use the following.
-- assuming new procedure, so re-defining session variable and reloading session into it
declare
my_session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
my_new_variable number;
begin
my_session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
my_new_variable := my_session.get_attribute_as_number('VAR_NAME');
end;
This will let you reference parameters across multiple portal applications and indirect calls.

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

Advice on content area layout & subfolders

Hi all!
We're just starting to use content areas for real document management, and I was hoping someone could offer some advice on the layout of one or more of these content areas.
I'm trying to build a typical corporate "Document Library". Parts of the library will be available to "Public" corporate users (corporate users who have not logged on to the app yet), other parts will be available to all authenticated users, and other parts will be available to only certain groups. (Relatively easy so far...)
So far I have these all in a single content area called DOCLIB, with two folders: PUBLIC and CORPORATE. (Ultimately there will be a third high-level group for FRANCHISE users -- non-corporate stores.) PUBLIC is accessible to public users; DOCLIB itself and DOCLIB/CORPORATE are accessible to AUTHENTICATED_USERS. PUBLIC contains subfolders such as NEWS, HELP, FAQS, HRDOCS ("public" HR docs), PRESS_RELEASES, etc. CORPORATE contains subfolders such as NEWS, PLANNERS, IT_DOCS, HRDOCS ("logged on only" HR docs), etc.
A few questions:
1. Does it make sense to break out the PUBLIC and CORPORATE folders at the very top level, or are do people generally put the private folders as subfolders of the corresponding public ones? (Ideally I'd rather put these both into the same folder and simply show more documents once the user logs on, but I couldn't get this working properly.)
2. I currently have the "DocLib" content area showing on the main portal page, defaulting to the PUBLIC folder. However, once the users log in, I'd like to switch the focus to the root DOCLIB folder instead of the PUBLIC subfolder. As it runs now, the focus remains on the PUBLIC folder, and the user must click on the folder path to move to the root folder. Is there any way around this short of creating two different tabs, one for public users and the other for logged-on users? (Once they log on now I show an additional 3-6 tabs on that page.)
3. I'd like to show certain folders (such as "News/System News" and "News/Company News" in their own portlets (in addition to inside the overall Document Library portlet). Unfortunately, once the user logs in, the folder path is displayed, and the user can navigate to parent folders while inside this portlet. (This will horribly confuse some of our users...) I know I can turn off the folder path for this folder, but then it is also gone when this folder is displayed inside the overall "Document Library" portlet (where I'd like to still show the folder path). Is there any way around this?
4. Is there any straightforward way to display the same document in more than one folder? If I use perspectives, it looks like I then give up control over how the page gets formatted, if I use a Folder Link, the folder opens up in its own page instead of inside the portal area, and if I use a URL to point the "second" copy back to the first, this will be difficult for later content managers to maintain. Am I missing another easy way to do this?
I know how to do all this via the PDK, but we're trying to use as much of the built-in content-management tools as possible instead of building more PDK-based code.
btw: We are still in Portal 3.0.8, although we're moving to 3.0.9 as soon as possible.
Sorry for the length of the post, but any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All
We are using release 2, and we are looking into using a page template containing a JSP portlet for a consistent navigation bar/header. What do you think of this approach?
Regards
Harry
Jon,
There are a variety of ways to do this:
One way is to modify the page that the content area is on to contain the portlets that you would like on your page. Those portlets would contain your banners, links, logos, etc. Note that the page under a content area can not contain tabs.
Another way to do this is to create separate pages and link to those pages from your navigation bar manually.
Note that in release 2 of Oracle9iAS Portal we have combined the content area and page concepts so that there is no more 'drill out of the portal page' loss of context, so you could use Oracle9i Application Release 2 also.

How to remove category header link in a content area

Hi,
I have a content area with two categories X and Y with some items in each.
When I add this content area on a page as portlet, the category heading is displayed with a hyperlink to X.
I do not want that category heading, I should only items in the content area and not the headers atleast remove hyperlinks to the category headings.
Please help.
Murthy

Hi,
you can't change it in your code. I think the only option is to create a custom skin and then replace the resource bundle. Creating a custom skin for this is more work than the effect may justify. So to hide the string you can use CSS like the following
.x2z{color:#D2D8B0}
which turns the font color into the background color

How can i make the navigation easier in my content area? (TREE VIEW)

Now I use 1 navbar for my whole content area.
This is what I want :
I would like to navigatie in my content area lik I navigate in the explorer of microsoft.
Is there a script,
portlet, or something like that.
when I delete a folder it must automaticle disapear from the tree view.
When I add it must be displayed.
When the folder isn't public it, the public can't see it
thxc in advance
Bert Leeman

If you are using the same nav bar you could build a custom nav bar in the shared objects and publish it as a portlet. In the properties of a folder you can assign an image for the nav bar. This could make it look like a tree assuming you build the images that way. Also your folder links should disappear from the nav bar when they are deleted. I think.

Display content area to PUBLIC but hide once logged on?

Is there any way to display a content area or folder to the PUBLIC user but then hide it once the user has logged on?
I currently have a folder whose contents are marked "Make Public"; this is displayed inside a portlet on my opening page. However, even if I build a new page, place either the folder or the folder's portlet on this new page, publish this new page as a portlet, and grant access to this new page to only the PUBLIC user, this folder is always displayed for both public and logged on users. Is there any way to hide this for logged on users? (I did see the 12/4/01 "Display portlet only to public user" thread, but this didn't seem to work for a content area page.)

Help: lost our content area portlet (site)

On the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page under the "Content Area" tab someone deleted the "Site" portlet. How do I add the "Site" portlet back to the page?
I clicked on the customize page and tried to find the portlet to add but it is not listed. I then went to the portlet repository to see if it was expired or something but it was not there.
There is a "Content Areas" portlet that lets you select the content area to go to, but the navigate button takes you back to the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page to the "Content Area" tab.
The same thing happens when you go to the Admin section of a site and try to see the categories for that site. I can't edit my categories anymore.
They point to "Oracle Portal Navigator" page showing the "Content Area" tab, which is no longer the site portlet.
Any ideas?
Jeff Dalgliesh
PS I know its called the "Site" portlet because on A DIFFERENT portal server if I click the customize link on the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page under the "Content Area" tab that is the name it shows the Provider is "Oracle Portal" and the portlet is called "Site". IE "Oracle Portal: Site"

Dividing Spry Tabbed Panels content area into columns?

Hi there.
I am building a website and I want to divide the content area of a Spry Tabbed Panel into 3 columns for text.
How can I do this?
I thought about making divs inside the Panel but it would be too messy.
Please let me know if there is a simple way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
