Content Area in Portal Page: subfolder vs category

Hi everybody,
i've tried to publish a content area + navbar in a portal page: if i click to a SUBFOLDER on the folder portlet , the subfolder appears in the context of the portal page. But if i click a link to a CATEGORY, the category is loaded in the content area and not in the portal page. Does anybody know how to keep the content area in the portal page, that is
to refresh the
portlet in the context of the portal page ?
Thanks.

Currently not possible. We're considering this for a future release.
Regards,
Jerry

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

Link to Content Area from ASP page brings up default page

I have a link on an ASP to the content area. When the user clicks on the link, he/she is required by the portal to provide their username/password. After entering the correct information, the users are displayed their default page NOT taken to the content area.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the only way to do this would be to not show the sub-folder region and add URL items in another region that link to the folder page in question.

How make the Top-level Navigation and Content Area in one page as a whole?

I want to make the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area in the one page as a whole displayed in user interface.In the default framework,the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area were contained in 2 pages, So the vertical scroll bar could only control the Content Area. I want to control the full page with one vertical bar like the page of "www.sdn.sap.com" Web.

Hi Jianguo,
One advantage of the external facing portal solution (SP14) is that the framework page is displayed in a single frame. Perhaps this could be of use to you.
Hope this helps.

Public content on secure portal page?

We have placed public PDF files (read only for public) into a common "documents" portal page, ie. portal/mul/documents. Links on various portal pages reference the docs in this documents page, ie portal/mul/documents/my_august_05.pdf
A user can modify the URL down to where they can display the "documents" page itself, and a listing of all files on that "documents" page.
How can we let public view the content of files stored in the "documents" page, but prohibit the public from viewing the listing of the contents of "documents" page itself?
Thx.

I don't know if this is exactly the solution you are looking for but I've done something similar in the past where the page and tabbed region where items were published were granted access to group A but some of the items on that page were granted item-level access to both group A and group B. On a totally separate page, a custom search portlet was published that searched the entire page group. Group B could then see the links to the items that they had access to eventhough they could not actually go to the page and tab those items were published on. Does that make sense?

Content Area in a page Template should not be inside a h:form

In my template page I have some buttons which reside in a <h:form> tag. If I place a Content Area somewhere inside the <h:form> tag, the ACTION methods of the buttons DO NOT WORK!!!!
e.g. Action methods of the buttons WORK PROPERLY
<f:view>
<BODY>
<h:form styleClass="form" id="frmTemplate">
...some buttons...
</h:form>
<%-- tpl:insert attribute="bodyarea" --%>Default content of bodyarea<%-- /tpl:insert --%>
</BODY>
</f:view>e.g. Action methods of the buttons DO NOT work
<f:view>
<BODY>
<h:form styleClass="form" id="frmTemplate">
...some buttons...
<%-- tpl:insert attribute="bodyarea" --%>Default content of bodyarea<%-- /tpl:insert --%>
</h:form>
</BODY>
</f:view>Any ideas why?

AFAIK there's no practical way to do what you require. Sorry. This is one of the many downsides to Framed sites. It also makes bookmarking and printing pages difficult. Not to mention user unfriendly from a web accessibility viewpoint. Re-think your need for Iframes throughout an entire website. The best websites use one complete page for each topic. Index, About Us, Contact Us, etc...

JavaScript search main content area of a page

Hi
I am hoping someone might be able to help. I am new to SharePoint and I'm looking to write a script on the master page which searches through the main content of a certain webpage.
My question is; what is the variable for JavaScript to call the main content area so I can search it. I believe it is something like item.maincontentarea?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
This could sometimes happen because of multiple users working on the same content .

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

Iview calls new Page on Content Area

Hello Everybody,
I have a Page with 3 Iviews on it, and would like that an Iview call a new Page.
Wich means, I have Iview 1,2,3 on Page A and if you trigger a link on of these Iviews a new Page B should be loaded.
All I got is that the Page loaded in the Iview itself. Is there an opportunity to change that behavior, to call a Page B from an Iview that reloads the content area with a Page B?
Thanks in advanced,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
you can call EPCM.doNavigate with the PCD target, see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/enterprise portal client.pdf
Hope it helps,

Content Areas and Pages

Hi,
Is there a way to exporte pages and/or content areas from Portal? Is so how can i do it?

Pedro,
Please read the white paper on export/import.

Content Area Export / -page switch

I am using Portal Production 3.0.7.6.2 under NT.
If I try to export a content area using the "-page" switch, then I get the following error in SQLPLUS:
SP2-0310: unable to open file "pagename.sql"
any ideas what is wrong?
tks!!

On Windows NT, the content area export script when invoked with the -page option looks for a script file named pagename.sql which was left out of the install (it has been fixed in 3.0.8). Using a text editor, save the following into a file named pagename.sql and place it in the <PORTAL_HOME>/admin/plsql/wwu directory:
/* --- Cut Here --- */
select 'set page_name='| |name from wwpob_page$
where id = (select pageid from wwsbr_sites$ where upper(name) = upper('&&1'))
set serverout on
set echo off
set feedback off
set verify off
set newpage 0
set pagesize 0
set space 0
set heading off
set trimspool on
set termout off
spo pagename.bat
spo off
exit

No "presence" Attribute for Master Pages or Content Areas?

Is it true that there isn't a .presence attribute for master pages and content areas? I have a form with multiple master pages, and based on certain criteria, I'd like to not display the master page.
This master page has 1 content areas. One is a header area. The rest of the page is content area 2. It is blank. I have a conditional breakpoint that sends line items from a table to content area 2 if I have more than 7 line items.
If I have 7 or fewer line items, I'd like to hide this master page, but LiveCycle doesn't seem to think you should ever hide an entire master page. If I could hide the top content area, then at least the page would print blank.
I can't wrap content areas in subforms. If I could do that, then I could hide the subform.
Thanks!!

My problem is I have page 1 with fields in the header, then there are line items attached to a database table. There could be 1 line item or 200. I can print up to 7 line items on the first page and then a footer must appear on just page 1.
If there are more than 7 line items, I continue to another page. I have to have a bunch of header fields at the top of this continuation page. The line items continue under this. If another continuation page is needed, then the header info appears at the top and then the line items continue. This goes on until all line items are displayed.
I have to use a conditional breakpoint in this line item table so I can tell it to go to a content area under the header on the continuation page. I can't have the line items continue at the top of a page because I need that header.
I define the content area under the content area for the header on the continuation page. I have only been able to define content areas on master pages.
I have more than 1 master page. Page 1 and the final page are on 1 master page and they must always print. The line item continuation page is another master page with 2 content areas (header and line item continuation).
If I have 7 or fewer line items, the continuation page is not needed. I need to be able to hide or display this page dynamically based on the number of line items from the database.
I can show some examples when I get back to work.
Thanks!

Switching Content Area Portlet Edit/View Mode

I am trying this question again since I did not get responses to my first try.
The current Content Area Portlet included with Portal 3.0.8 works fine except that it does not include the "Main Banner" nor the "Sub Banner". This means that portlet users do not have access to either the "Edit/View folder" function nor the current folder name.
My customer would like some users to have item upload capability. What are my choices without these banners? I can access the content area in "full page" mode and have the banners available. But this is undesirable since we would like the content area to stay "in the portlet" in order to maintain portal context.
I might be able to switch the edit/view function from another portlet on the same page if I pass the p_edit and p_mode parameters to redraw the multiple portlet page correctly. I have tried passing p_edit using the portlet reference path "&162_KCPCONTENTAREA_6429252.p_edit=1", but the Content Area Portlet does not respond. What else do I need to do? Is this even possible?
Thanks for any advise you can provide

I have determined that there will be be an edit link included in the Content Area Portlet in the 3.0.9 release due out in May. This leaves open the question of support for parameter passing for out-of-the-box portlets. Will (Is) this supported?

How to portlets in to content area folders

hi everybody,
i need to add portlets into the content area folder.
Like, how we add portlets into pages(add portlet link).
is that possible? It is very urgent for me.
becz. i developed application using pages at first.
so that i can create user wise portlets,that means, one page for
all my users. but portlets display will vary according to the
privilegs.now i need the same thing in content area.
pl. help me ASAP!
thanks in adv.
Kathir

Portlets can be added to the content area page. You can edit
this page under Content Area Properties. Note that the content
area page does not have all the functionality of a portal page -
for example, it doesn't support tabs and you can't define a
style.
In the next release of Portal, content area folders and pages
will be merged. The merged folder/page can be used for both
portlets and items.

Jerry
