Content Area link inside a Portlet

I built a portal page titled Finance. I also created a content area titled Corporate
Finance and published it as a portlet. When I add the Corporate Finance portlet to
the page it's visible, however the portlet header link goes to a blank page. I was
hoping this link would take me directly to the Corporate Finance content area.
Thanks - Carmen

How to change the color of the links inside a portlet ?

Hi,
I have to apply a css into one of the portlets of my page. Since I thought it would not be easy I figured out that the only thing the client cares is the color of the links inside the portlet. The portlet has a bunch of links and these link should be blue and 12pt. Does somebody know how to do that ?
Thanks,
Rafael.

Change hyperlink color:
There are about 50 predefined styles with each template. They are modifiable. Hyperlink is one of the styles.
Follow this process:
• In your document select a word of text, any word will do.
• Style it the way you want your hyperlinks to look.
• Show Styles Drawer from the View menu.
• Find the Hyperlink style in the drawer and right-click on it.
• Select - Redefine Style from Selection - in the pop-up menu.
That's it. You've changed the hyperlink style for this book.

Links inside a portlet

Hi,
I've got 4 links inside a portlet, i woulld like to target each link to the same portlet.
Basically,i want this links to open inside a portlet.
<netui:anchor action="Week">|Week</netui:anchor>
<netui:anchor action="DayofWeek" >|Day of Week</netui:anchor>
<netui:anchor action="TimeOfDay" >|Time Of Day</netui:anchor>
<netui:anchor action="AccidentType">|Accident Type</netui:anchor>

Hi Caroline
You should install and use the "Url Services". I have the same need. But I can't succesffuly install the URLServices, I then get a lot of timeout errors when browsing the portal. I don't know when I'll have time to work on that, but that's the way you should work around.

Link to content area from a folder portlet

We have deployed a folder portlet and a perspective portlet on a portal page. Each portlet is part of a small region on the page and rather than navigate through the folders in the portlet, we want to open the folder in the content area. So when a user selects the folder link in the folder portlet, the folder in the content area is opened.
At present the sub-folders are displayed in the small portlet region until we select an item which opens in a new window...
Thanks

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.

Make content area Folder Names within Portlets non-linkable fields

We would like to only allow the administrator to be allowed link to content areas so as to maintain a consistent look and feel and not allow the user to leave Portal.

Thanks for the info, however, turning off the header region also
eliminates the "customize" feature -- which is something I would
like my users to have. Also, I think you may be mistaken (or
maybe I wasn't clear) about the approval icon. It does NOT
appear when a folder is rendered through a portlet, regardless
of folder ownership. It only appears when a folder is rendered
as a page.
I am looking forward to the next release.
p.s. I see the new find feature has been added since my last
post.

IFrames keeping the links inside the portlet frame

Hi All,
I have installed the iFrame portlet, and tested with the technet.oracle.com portlet. Why do the links on this portlet open up in the whole window rather than stay within the boundaries of the portlet? Isn't that the point of iFrame? I tried to add in
<convertTarget>false</convertTarget>
and
<inlineRendering>true</inlineRendering>
to the provider.xml, but I got errors each time saying there is no set or add method for them in
Class oracle.portal.provider.v1.RenderManager
is there any way I can keep the links inside the frame, or do I have to create a html portlet and manually put in an iframe tag?
Thanks, Sarah

It simply does not work! We have tried using iFrames and URLservices with inline rendering and the links always open in the same browser window but outside the portlet. This is getting very frustrating as every post we read has a different solution but none work.
And yes we have specified inlineRendering and convertTarget in the provider and yes the samples work but they don't open in the portlet. According to 2 threads in the forums, it should work now but it does not.

Presenting binary file content as HTML inside a Portlet

Hello folks,
Do any of you has a piece of code that does that? Grabbing a word doc, pdf, ppt and such and convert it to HTML in order to present it inside a portlet? The easiest way would possibly be to use Dynamic Converter API, right? Is there any licensing problems on using Dynamic Converter on the limited UCM that comes with WebCenter Suite for that?
Thanks In Advance,
Pedro Boechat

Rendering external links inside a java portlet

Hi,
I have a Java portlet written which displays a page including some links that are pointing to an external page. When clicking on that link the portal environment is left, that's not what I want. I want to render the content of this link inside the portlet.
Is there any way to do that in a Java portlet? Like a method that rewrites all URLs inside a HTML page so that when clicked they will be rendered again in the portlet and again all the URLs inside this page are rewritten?
Thanks for any help.
Erik

Hi Erik,
You can use methods in PortletRendererUtil to construct links to your resources so that you are within the Portal context.
Another workaround to this would be to have a controller jsp for the show mode. Put this as the resource in the <showPage>....</showPage> tag in the provider.xml
Now this JSP will forward the request to the appropriate JSP (or any other resource) based on an action.
So in all the jsps, let the form be submitted to the controller jsp, which reads the action from request & forwards it to the right jsp. e.g. in your scenario,
the main JSP (that contains links etc) will contain a form element which will have the following signature.
String portletActionLink = HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormActionLink(request, HttpPortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK);
<form name="formName" method="POST" action="<%= portletActionLink %>" >
<%= HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormHiddenFields(request, HttpPortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK) %>
<input type="hidden" name="ClickedAction" value="">
</form>
When any link inside the form is clicked, the "ClickedAction" hidden element will be set to the right action inside a javascript & the form will be submitted to the controller jsp (as we are still in the "Show mode")
The controller jsp will contain the following extract,
String action = prr.getParameter("ClickedAction");
if ( action.equals("externalPage1") )
//have a runtime include for ExternalPage1 jsp
You can thus extend the controller based on number of actions you have.
In this approach, all requests are routed through the show mode controller jsp. However, through other methods in the PortletRendererUtil class, you can rewrite a direct URL to that JSP.

Abhinav

Portlet that displays links inside it

I need a portlet that displays the links inside the portlet without opening a new window.
Thanks

Hi there,
We've been playing around with something like this. We wanted to create an application which acted as an autonomous entity within a portal page. We finally managed to do this with a combination of the parameters passing example and use of session variables (wwpre_api). The thing here is that any session variables must be referenced with the portlet reference and a portlet's show method must always pre-check for the current state.
The main thing to watch out for is that you want any portlets shown on a particular page to retain state while you are "working" in another portlet, hence the session variables.
This is now growing into an application framework which allows screen changes (i.e. edit to list and back) to occur from links within the portlet, without jumping to a new page. We are considering to eventually release this when we cleaned things up a bit.

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...

Displaying a Content Area using custom code

Hello list,
Is it possible to display the contents of
a content area as a custom portlet so that I
don't have to expose the content area as a
portlet and I can add custom formatting etc ?
Any tips ?
Sanjay

A number of SQL views are provided for retrieving information
from content areas. These views are documented in the PDK. For
folders, use the view WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS.

Content area white header space...How to suppress?

I have developed all of my content areas, published them as portlets and placed them on my portal pages. However, there is about an inch of white space at the top of each portlet; thus, causing formatting issues and forcing the user to scroll to see all of the text that would have fit onto one page if these whitespace areas were not present. Can anyone tell me how to "get rid" of this whitespace? I know when I go into the Content area to modify my content pages, the whitespace is present there. Whey I click on "Edit Folder" to make changes, the nav tools appear in that "whitespace". Makes sense at there, but I do not want space used on my portal pages to accomodate this.
Also, when using a URL service as one of my portlets, the whitespace is not present; thus, causing my regions that are not URL service portlets to be mis-aligned with the URL service portlet.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Folder Content Listed in Content Area

I understand that this is an issue that was fixed from a previous version, but I will give it a shot anyway.
I would like to direct the folder content to open in the "content" area NOT in the portlet when I select a folder, but apparently this was something that was fixed in 3.0.8. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it back the old way?

Hi Dharam,
This can be achieved by selecting the object types (eg Folders, Documents, Bookmarks, Notes etc) that you want to use in a collaboration.
If you are a cFolders administrator, you can define which object types are to be used across the entire system on the General tab page under cFolders Administration.
If you are not a cFolders administrator but have administration authorization for a collaboration, you can change this default setting for the relevant collaboration. To do this, proceed as follows:
Go to the collaboration detail screen and choose Object Types. A list of all object types appears. By default, the objects that have been selected under cFolders Administration are already selected. You can select the objects that have not been selected under cFolders Administration as required.
Change this selection if necessary. You can select exactly those object types that you want to be used in your collaboration. The system-wide default is not affected by this.

Deepak

How to have dynamic size of the content area

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a printable adobe form using Adobe LiveCycleDesiner 8.
Here is my problem.
The PageMaster is containing the company Logo, Address and the ship to address.
The ship to address can be composed by up to 11 lines. Those lines are not always used. Some addresses have only 5 lines.
If I am reserving those 11 lines before the content area, we are loosing alot of space that can be used for the body page.
So the question is:
Is it possible to have a flowed content area? Where the size of the content area would be driven by the available space of the PageMaster?
Regards
stjacqd

Hello Carsten
The subform has no impact to the content area size.
The subform has an impact only inside the content area or inside another form.
My point is:
PageMaster
| Logo                                          |
| Address1                   Address      |
| Address2                   Address      |
| Address3                   Address      |
| Address4                   Address      |
| Address5                   Address      |
| Address6                   Address      |
| Address7                   Address      |
| Address8                   Address      |
| Address9                   Address      |
| Address10                 Address      |
| Address11                 Address      |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Content area                               |
|                                                   |
So, inside the Page Master there is 11 lines reserved for the addresses,
But at the printout, if there are only 3 lines used for the address, I would like to reassign the space used by the address4 through adderss11 to the content area.
So the result at printout will look like:
| Logo                                          |
| Address1                   Address      |
| Address2                   Address      |
| Address3                   Address      |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Content area                               |
|                                                   |
Instead of:
| Logo                                          |
| Address1                   Address     |
| Address2                   Address     |
| Address3                   Address     |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Content area                               |
|                                                   |
