Content Areas order

we would like to order the content areas different from the creation order (ID generated by the time the content area was
created) and different from alphabetic.
We have tried to copy the content areas to new content areas, ordered as we want, with the built in functionality copy root
folder but it didnt work because this is only good when copying from folders inside the same content area.
Q: How can we do this?

Kasia,
There are a number of guides on the documentation tab for Oracle9iAS Portal that can answer your questions. Be sure to check out the FAQ!

can anybody help

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.

Get the items in a content area!!

Hello
I have created a content area with a structured like that:
MainFolder1
Item1
SubFolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
SubFolder2
Item5
SubFolder3
Item6
I have to display the names of the items content on this CA on a page, and I need to do It in the same way the structured is show, but that I mean I need to show it like that:
Item1
Name of the Subfolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
Name of the Subfolder2
Item5
Name of the Subfolder3
Item6
I have found an api but It doesn't have a way to acces the folders of a CA or the items inside an specific folder in order to show the things like I need.
Please help me, how can I achieve that??
Thanks in advance
Ana Lasprilla

You could walk through the wwv_corners table to get a list of your folders and then walk through the wwv_things table to retrieve the items in the folders. Once you have your items you will need to use various techniques to display them. This really gets complicated though because you probably want to display folders and content in the order they display within the content area.
Another and simpler way to at least traverse this content is to call http://server/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsbr_folderxml.generate?p_id=somefolderid& p_siteid= somesiteid
This will produce an xml formatted dump of the folders and content. This goes to the http stream so you will have to capture and parse this.

Translating items in a Content Area

Hi,
Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
what is happening ?
we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Thanks for any help!
Fabian Cretton

Hi Philip
One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
Hope that helps

Content Area doesn't appear although Import Successful

I am testing an export/import of some Portal objects to prepare for a migration from development to production. I am using Portal 3.0.9.8.3. I am exporting using Doc ID: 146645.1 as a guide (exporting and importing in the documented order). Everything indicates a successful Export/Import. Both the export and import logs show records being exported and records being imported with the message "Import terminated successfully without warnings." in both logs. When I get back into Portal on the Prod machine, the Content Area and Page are not there. Also, the tables which indicated records being imported by the import log file, have no rows in them. What's going wrong?
John

I have this same problem. I am trying to export/import certain parts of my development portal to my production version. I have successfully run the scripts to export a content area from my development machine and then sucessfully ran the import script on my production machine. Yet I can't see the content area on my production version. I suspect this is because the two portals have different DAD's. The development DAD is crp1_portal30. The production DAD is imsi_portal30. I have tried going into the Listener Gateway Settings Page, but it comes up asking for authentication. I have tried every username/password in the system and can't get in.
1. What is the default username/password for this. We didn't set this up. It was set up by 11i Rapid Install.
2. Do you think that's why my content area won't show up?
3. How can I create a new instance of portal, i.e. have multiple portals on the same machine.

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 ?

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?

Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order

Description
Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order of all lists that
* contain folder content types
* and have a custom content type order
* where a folder content type is the first content type in order.
Reproducible behaviour
1. Create a Team Site in Sharepoint
2. Create a Task List "Test" on the Team Site
3. Go to List Settings
4. The Content Type order is by default
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
5. Change the Content Type Order to
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
6. Go To Site Settings "Title, description and icon"
7. Change the Site Url
8. Go To List "Test" List Settings
9. The Content Type order now is
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
10. Select "Change New button order and default content type"
11. Here, the Content Type order still is
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
Is this a bug? Has anyone noticed this behaviour before?
Kind Regards,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
You are not missing something or doing something wrong. i Hope :). This behavior is reproductible.
The granularity of change is better by Powershell. But by the interface is most user-friendly.
Maybe that's the reason of this behavior.

Removing vertical scroll bar on innerpage/content area

Hi All,
I am trying to remove extra vertical scroll bar on innerpage/content area. I followed below weblog
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5192 ..."Those pesky scrollbars when using URL isolation"
It works if I give fixed pixels like 1000 px for inner page height.
obj = document.getElementById("isolatedWorkArea");
obj.style.height = 1000 + 'px';
But its not getting dynamic height of the content area using below code which is mentioned in the blog.
reqsize = window.frames[obj.name].document.body.scrollHeight + 100 ;
obj.style.height = reqsize + 'px';
Please advice if anybody have a solution for this.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
First of all if you wand to remove the scroll bar you should use;
obj.style.overflow="hidden";
About dynamic height I cannot tell you if the sollution proposed on the blog is suitable for you.
Normaly you should use only:
reqsize = document.body.scrollHeight + 100 ;
In order to find out the total height of your page.
I don't understand why do you want to do all this. You will have cases when parts of the content will not be visible to the user due to these restrictions.

Accessing the Contact field on a Content Area Programmatically

I'm implementing some functionality to email the owner of a content area when a new document is submitted for
approval.
I have not trouble accessing and manipulating the content areas, folders, regions and items programmatically,
but when I get to the simple bit of looking up the contact for a content area to send the email I can't find the contact
property in any view, all of my WWSBR_% views MAILTO_DISPLAY_NAME values are '0'.
Does anyone have any idea how to access this Contact field (from Edit Folder -> Optional Properties tab) from PL/SQL
(or Java for that matter) either through a view, table or API call?
Regards,
Rob Paterson

Hi Robert,
Ur statement states that
"I have no trouble accessing and manipulating the content areas, folders, regions and items programmatically"
Can u throw some light on the same by possibly sending some codes to achieve the same.Our requirements are as under:-
1)When the content area is added with various privileges to a particular users page he needs to click on edit in order to add Item/folder or manage the same.Is it possible to show(either by customizing or programatically) the same links by doing away with the edit link and directly displaying the privileges(i.e. add item,folder properties) when he logs in.
2)As the situation stands now when a document is uploaded for approval only Portal30 can approve the same though the relevant privileges have been provided for various users.The icon for approval doesnt appear when the content area is added as a portlet.The only way of approval seems to be for portal30 to log in and navigate to the particular content area and click on the same.The items awaiting approval appear with a approve icon wherein he can approve the same.But the same fail to appear when published as a portlet.
Our project is under tight schedule so any help would be a gr8 help.
Thanks in advance.
Regds.
Kiran.

1. Why are you still using that old 3.0.5 version? It is lacking 100's of security fixes that the latest 3.6.13 version of Firefox has.

Master page content area height

Hello
I have a subform within a master page content area,
The subform has table which i allowed the content to break to the next page.
When i try to get the height of the subform it only gives me the height from the first page and ignores the rest on other pages the table broke to.
I need the height of the subsequent pages in order to position another subform at the bottom of the last page.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Exporting content areas/pages

Help please!!
I have created content areas and pages on the Oracle's hosted portal demo site and need to export them to our own server.. Can anyone advise on how this process is done and if its possible? your help is appreciated...
thanks

Hy, there is a white paper about export import.
But here comes how to do it:
in $ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu, you can find the import export utilities:
- contexp.cmd
- pageexp.cmd
also the import utilities are here. Use all the parameters in the same order as they come in the example (just type in contexp when you are in the right directory). Do the same for pages. Use -security options if you want to keep the security and the same for contexp with his own -page option. This should be done if you changed the page of the content area. They make a security.dmp and a pobpage.dmp in the current directory ($ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu). If you export 2 content area's don't forget that the -page & -security option will overwrite the pobpage.dmp and security.dmp file, so it will be better to do the export import immediatly after each other. Or copy the files after the export.
Very important is to check the portlets from the content area's if they exist. If you have a portlet provider in the content area and the portlet repository doesn't show that (refresh in the repository can help) then the corresponding portlets in pages will be deleted.
Search on Metalink for the Whitepaper Fill in : Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import White Paper and you will find all the information.
Good luck
