Content Area Navigation

Does anyone know of a product similar to Inxight Software's Star Tree product for static web sites that will provide a graphical representation of content area navigation within Portal?

Kunagh,
If you check out Knowledge Exchange, you will find a more customizable navbar.
We have figured out how to do this now, this is the code that we used to put an arrow in the content area that took you up to the parent folder, this code was in a dynamic page published as a porlet:
<HTML>
<ORACLE>
declare
l_value number;
p_value number;
url varchar2(400);
begin
l_value := PORTAL30.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value
('_fid', 'A');
select parentid into p_value from portal30.wwv_corners
where id = l_value;
select ('<a href="http://servername:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=153&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&_type=site&_fsiteid=56&_fid=' || p_value || '&_fnavbarid=1&_fnavbarsiteid=56&_fedit=0&_fmode=2&_fdisplaymode=1&_fcalledfrom=1&_fdisplayurl="><img src="/images/arrow100.gif" alt="Up to parent folder" border=0></a>htp.print(url);
end;
</ORACLE>
</HTML>

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

Item Check out/in in content areas published as portlet

I have a content area I have published as a portlet. I have noticed that if I add an item (a file) and enable item check out, the icon to check out the file doesn't appear in the portlet. You have to open the content area in the content area navigation page to get the check out/in icon (and a few others.) Is there a way to do this inside the portlet?
Thanks
null

This is the intended behaviour, to simplify the portlet interface. You'll notice, too, that you can't edit a checked-out item in the portlet.
This will all change in the 3.1 release of the product.

How to create a default Style for several Content Areas

Hello,
I have not been able to figure out how to create default styles/nav bars/etc... that can be used between SEVERAL Content Areas, and/or for any new Content Area. It seems to me that what is created in one Content Area, is not available for use in any other Content Area.
Being that I'd like to keep the Administrative overhead as low as possible, I wonder if anyone has and/or knows how to create a default style, etc.. and use it with each Content Area across an Enterprise site???
Many thanks for any information you may have!!

Kahli,
check out the Shared Objects node in the Content Area navigator.
Good luck, Tony

Open KM Navigation Content in Portal Content area

Folks,
We have a km navigation iview and want to open the contents in the portal content area instead of opening the links in a new window. I don't find any configurable options. What are the development effort options and how big is the effort? Any hint will be very helpful.
Regards,
Tridib

Hi Tridib,
see /thread/87593 [original link is broken] for the example of external links. If I'm right in this, the same would hold for other renderers.
Hope it helps

Top level navigation appearing below the content area

Hi ,
I have modified the standard look and feel of the portal . We have our own masthead now and a custom footer as well . The problem is the top level navigation is appearing below the content area . I presume that there is a possibility of arranging the ordering of all the different objects in a frameworkpage . How can this be done ? Please help .
Regards
Deepak Singh

Hi ,
I just checked the layout . It is using the framework page layout as the default layout .I am using NWDS for 2004s . Now if I need to change the order of appearance of one of my components which are
desktop inner page
top level navigation
masthead
footer
How do I change it ? Do i need to modify any property for these components like the sort priority or the merge property etc for the same ?

Inter-site navigation... link to open in the content area

Wanted to know how people are managing inter-site navigation. Suppose I have a set of links defined in the LHS area by using a HTML portlet. URLs on all these links are internal links which can be accessed as http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/url/page/<pagegroup|page>.
Is it possible to define a portlet on the RHS i.e. content area where I can open these URLs ? Will the URL and/or Web Clipping help in any way ?
I can define the URLs on these links as
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/url/page/<pagegroup|page>?url=<page to show> and <pagegroup|page> is the page which holds the URL container. The URL container will be parameterized to bind to the url value.

Check out this posting from a while ago that gives a suggestion on how to accomplish this.

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.

Navigation should be limited only to content area

Hello,
I am importing roles from ECC into the portal.
The transactions are getting displayed in the content area of the portal.
However I would like to traverse forward and backward only for the content displayed in the content area.
Likewise I would also like to display a save button in the masthead (or in the page title bar) so that the transactions displayed in the content area get saved using the button in the masthead , instead of using the regular F3 +CtrlS.
I would also prefer to have forward and backward buttons for traversal of content viz; transactions in the content area.
Can anyone suggest me the possible alternatives to implement the above functionalities.
Regards
Pooja

Please avoid posting the same question to different forums.

IViews in dynamic navigation take up whole content area

Hi,
I'm having a problem using dynamic navigation. I've created two Web Dynpro iViews A and B. I've added B to the dynamic navigation of A and put A into a role. Know when I want to view A, I can see the iViews loading, B in the navigation panel and A on the right of the panel. But once they are loaded, B is shown in the content area, "above" A (effectively hiding it). Once I remove B from the dynamic navigation, A is shown fine.
Any ideas to solve this?
thanks,
Lieven

Hi Lieven!
I can only guess, that the WebDynpro integration-IView is designed to run in the content area alone and forces so.
Did you try to run other (sap provided) WebDynpro iviews from the dynamic navigation?

Jürgen

Navigation Panel and content Area can not any more be displayed

Hello Gurus,
we have a very big prolem with our Portal in the Development.
A new colleague has probably changed some settings in the portal. Now by logging into the portal, i can only see the header Area (Masterhead, Tolls, Top-Level Navigation, Page title Bar). By clicking on the role like system Administrator, nothing is showing.
The Navigation Panel and the content area are gone. How can i restore them back?
Any Workaround?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi Anja, Puneet,

through the SAP Note and you path, i can access the portal again. I am not using the standard framework.
We have a customized Destop Page, Framework and after a check they still exist. Could you once advice where could be the error. Or where someone chnage the settings?
many thanks in advance.
Cheers

Maybe there is approval set up on this folder. Order time based publishing. Both can cause the read users to see nothing.
The first means that read users can only see published documents. If no document is published the result is a empty folder.
Same for the second feature. If timebased publishing it can be that all documents are hidden for the read users because the documents are out of there time interval.
Hope this helps. Check both in folder > details > settings.

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.

Portal Content area not displaying in Portal

I tried to disable Portal favorites option from Content admin -> Default Frame work Page -> Detailed navigation. Instead of only disabling the default navigation I have disabled the entire Portal content area and I am now not able to see any content in the Portal except the masthead area and the Top level navigation.
Can any one please help me on this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check the content area iview in the Desktop inner page in framework page.If this iview is not there then it will not show the content area.
If desktop inner page is deeted then also you will not see the content area.
If so please add the content area iview indside the Desktop inner page then you can see the content area for the users.
Content area iview will be available under the following path of the portal
Content Administration > Portal Content > Content provided by sap > Admin Interfaces > Admin Iview Templates > Content Area (view).
Thanks,

Display the reports under all subfolders at a time in the content area?

Hi All,
In SAP EP portal,We have a requirement to display few reports wherein we have 7 roles with the same names but different ID's and they are merged together so that even if the users have 7 roles assigned he will see only 1 tab in the first level navigation and uder that there will be one folder at the second level.Now the requirement is like this
1st level navigation : Role Name
2nd level navigation :Folder Name
Detailed Navigation : Folder Name
                                 Sub Folder Name
                                 Sub -sub folder1 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder2 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder3 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
Under al the sub-sub folders a workset map iview is added to display the reports with a pictogram in the content area.In the detailed navigation, as soon as the user clicks on the Sub folder the user should be able to see the reports under all the Sub-sub folders( Sub-sub folder1,Sub-sub folder2,Sub-sub folder3) .But currently the user has to explicitly click on each of the Sub-sub folders to view the reports(thrice in this case).Plz give a solution in which all the reports under the 3 Sub-sub folders should appear simultaneouly in the content area at a single click on Sub Folder
Thanks & Regards,
Sowmya
