Content Item Typ: Tree Navigation Link

Hi,
I was told that there is one Tree Navigation Link in the content item types. However I can't see it in the page group configuration.
I am using oracle 9iAS 9.0.2, portal 9.0.2??, JPDK v2 July one.
By the way, how can I know the portal version? I didn't do the installation. Everything comes with the oracle 9iAS installation. I did upgrade the JPDK.

There is currently no item type that does a tree-style navigation.
A new tree-style navigation portlet is coming soon from the Portal Integration Solutions team.
There are also a couple of navigation portlets available from the Knowledge Exchange. I've tried this one and it works great.
There are also some great navigation and search extensions available from Oracle Consulting.
To find the Portal version number, look on the Builder Page, Admin tab, General Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Customized content item / type

Hi there,
I would like to know what is the best way to store a content
item in my project.
I'm working on a portal which need to group the course
information into categories. Each course should be a content
item in this case. Each course has its own course
information. What is the best way to store each course as
content item which allow publisher to update the course info and
can make use of the category feature from the Portal ?
In 9iPortal, it allows us to store it as file, folder, text,
PL/SQL, image etc. I believe it's not a good idea and doesn't
fit my purpose. All these are static objects.
Can I make use of the custom type ? If so, how can I generate
page with the info stored in the attributes of the custom type ?
Say, I have created a new custom type named course and then it
has attributes like course title, course dates etc.
I would like to allow my user to type in the course information
and then we can generate dynamic pages from the information.
I'd used other Portal product which allow developer to define the
content type attribute easily and provide API to retrieve
the content and category item. Then we can write jsp to retrieve
the item. But I can't find the same thing from Oracle9iAS
Portal.
Can someone give me some clue ?
Thanx
Regards,
Maggie

Custom item types are a good solution.
Custom types allow you to call procedures (either a stored
procedure or a servlet via a URL) - the procedure can in turn
generate a custom presentation for your item. Procedures can be
passed any of the attributes of your item, including custom
attributes.
Folder styles can also be used to specify which attributes are
displayed for an item.
So try the style first. If you don't like what you are able to
achieve with the style, use a procedure to render your custom
item type any way you want.

Jerry

Hiding Page 0 Items and Tree Node Links

I have two issues I'm trying to work out:
1) I have created a tree on page 0 that I want to appear on all of my REPORT pages, so the user can filter the reports regardless of which page they're on. The problem is that the tree is also appearing on the login page and the Home page. Is there any way to hide the tree on the login and home pages but have it appear on all other pages? I'm trying to avoid having to create the tree on every single report page.
2) I need the tree to work like this: the user clicks any node in the tree, and all reports (on multiple pages) are filtered based on the node selected. So I don't actually want the nodes to be links to a report, I just want the reports to be filtered based on the node value selected. Then I'll have tabs to navigate between the different reports. Is this possible?
Thanks.

I dunno if you correct it, but there was small mistake in the JS code - a closing bracket was missing
$s('P0_TREE_NODE', $(this.triggeringElement).parents('li:first').attr('id'));
it looks like the node value IS being stored in the session stateI hope you checked for items in page 0 (it should then list down page 0 items including P0_TREE_NODE) when you searched for session state(it defaults to whichever page is run currently)
If these two are working fine, it has to be some page process/computation/item source/item default that modifies the item value when you move between pages.
To find this: Turn debug on, reload the page , click on a tree node, then redirect to some other page and then check the debug report and see if the page 0 item: P0_TREE_NODE is being set/reset/modified elsewhere.

Custom Content type based on "Link to a Document" does not open new folder in a dialog

Hi,
We have created a custom Content Type based on "Link to a Document" (0x01010A) into a document library. When I use the New Document button on the ribbon, the "Link to a document" form appears on the same window, not as a dialog. If we
use the "link to a document" content type it works fine.
This issue occurs when creating the content type from the SharePoint UI as well as via XML (provisioning the content type).
Is it a SharePoint bug or are we missing something?
Thanks!
Sergio

Hi S3rgiones,
I can reproduce your issue, when create a custom content type based on “Link to a Document” content type, create item using the content type, it will open the NewLink.aspx page in the same window not the modal dialog.
In this situation, you can try to custom the content type and customize the form page for it, specify it in the content type customization, if this doesn’t work, you may need to custom the content type not inherit from the default link to
a document, but customize it yourself.

Portal 10.1.4 seeded Page link Item type - Getting it to open in new window

I've been working on creating a new portal and am having some difficulty with Page Links. I am using version 10.1.4 out of the box. When I create a page link to another page and click on it, the page always takes over the current window.
Under normal items, you can select the option to display item in new browser window. I do not see this option when using a Page Link.
My questions are :
Is this option to display somewhere else vs. Page Properties?
Has anyone created a custom item type to achieve this function?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Something you could try is changing the way the item is displayed using a HTML Content Layout, this is a great feature of portal 10.1.4 and allows you to customise the region where the items are displayed.
Try this:
1) Create a new HTML Template
2) Select HTML Content Layout from the list
3) insert this code:
<oracle>
if '#ITEM.TYPE#' in ('baseportletinstance', 'portlet_instance') then
htp.p('#ITEM.PORTLETCONTENT#');
else
htp.p('#ITEM.TITLE#');
end if;
</oracle>
4) go to your page and edit your region properties
5) On the attributes tab chose the Html template you created.
the items should be displayed now as links that open in a new browser window.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Juan

Applying HTML Content Templates to Builtin Item Types

Using 10.1.4,
Is there any way of applying HTML Content Templates to the Builtin Item Types, e.g. Page Path, it doesn't appear to work if you set the attribute to use the template on the region settings?

The Builtin Item Types are indeed not affected by the HTML Content Layout. This is an undocumented feature in the product. A documentation bug has been logged to get it amended in the Portal documentation :
Bug 5581113 : DOCUMENT RESTRICTION FOR HTML CONTENT LAYOUTS AND BUILT-IN NAVIGATION ITEMS

Possible to link item type to category?

Hello,
I've created some custom item types, and I've got some categories.
Is it possible to link certain item types to a distinct set of categories?
So item type 1 can only choose between category A and B, and item type 2 can only choose between category C and D ?
Thanks,
Ton

hi ton,
this is not possible. the problem is that you can choose category as an attribute for the custom item type. but the configuration of the available categories are done on page group level. the selection is then used for every item that has this attribute.

christian

How to locate all content items where HTML link is missing?

We went through a brief period where Dynamic Converter was not producing the HTML link on new check in of content items. Now we have that fixed, but we need to identify those files that lack the HTML link so we can fix that. How do we locate content items that lack the HTML link?

Retrieve weblocation link of a content item

how do we retrieve weblocation link of a content item via RIDC / web service?
Is there any configuration settings to be done/ enforced when accessing the doc directly via weblocation link.
thanks

Hi ,
Use DOC_INFO service call and then from the LocalData section use "DocUrl" to retrieve web location link .
For details check the service reference guide : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e11011/c04_core.htm#BABBCIEB

Elan,
Content Item property sets define the metadata attributes on the documents
managed by your content management system. You can read more about them

Hi.
I never used tree as navigation but I guess next:
Using goLink to navigate the pages then ADF Lifecycle is executed again and the ADF tree is initialize again to the default status.
You should think how to maintain the current status of the ADF Tree (One size doesn't fit all: Follow up: Programmatic ADF Faces Tree holding state across requests).
I hope this help you.

Content Item

Is there a way to retrieve an item from the content server using the server API? I know it can be done in the remote client but I don't have access to the request/response.

There is currently no item type that does a tree-style navigation.
A new tree-style navigation portlet is coming soon from the Portal Integration Solutions team.
There are also a couple of navigation portlets available from the Knowledge Exchange. I've tried this one and it works great.
There are also some great navigation and search extensions available from Oracle Consulting.

Any way to update attribute in all Items of an Item Type ?

Is there any way an attribute in all items publish of a single item type?
I want to change all File Items so that they open in a New Browser.
Please note: This is not for all items that we will publish going forward, just for the current items. I dont want to go back in and update items one-at-a-time.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
Go to Navigator>Shared Objects>Contents>Custom Types>Item Types. From there select the Item Type you want to change (probably file).
From here click on the 'Attributes' tab and make sure that the Display Option is in the Selected Attributes box. Then look for Display Option under the Attribute Properties section and change 'Full Browser Window link' to 'New Browser Window Link'.
I hope this helps. I haven't tested it but I think it should do the trick. If you want file items that you create in the future to behave differently then you will have to create another item type based on File but keep the Display Option set to 'Full Browser Window link'.
Cheers,
Steven

How to know precisely when the revision of a content item is released?

Hi,
I have written a filter to handle delete event of content item revisions. Whenever a revision of a data file (WCM data file) is deleted my filter gets triggered and and checks for some criteria on our meta data. When the criteria is met it has to compare the contents of the revision that is deleted with the new revision. Since the revision will be deleted when my filter is exited, I copied the contents of the revision that is deleted and invoked a java thread with required document information.
In that thread I am checking for when the revision is successfully deleted so that I can read the contents of new revision and compare them with old revision.
For that I calling DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service from my thread and am checking until the following values for below meta data are in effect
dStatus=RELEASED
dReleaseState=Y
Unfortunately this is not working properly. I am still seeing the data file content of deleted revision only. For testing purpose I put a sleep of 10 seconds in my code instead of reading the meta data values which is making the code work as expected. I am to get the contents on new revisions after the sleep time. But I don't want to work this way as this is not a guaranteed mechanism.
How to know for sure when the revision is released?

Hope as you mentioned I would be able to use link manager. That would make my work much simpler. But just want to ensure that we both are on the same page relating to my requirements. I still feel there is some gap in what I have tried to explain and what you understood. May be I couldn't put it in simple words.
I will try my best to explain the requirements again in a simpler manner. This is only to ensure that I wouldn't end up spending lot of time in understanding new stuff but only to relaize at later time it may not work for me. I haven't used Link Manager before. That is why I am speculating a bit. I will start looking into the documentation of the Link Manager and Related Content to checkout if they work for me.
First thing is that the links are not just present in static lists. They can also be in content generated using WYSIWYG editors and Image elements.
Second when I talked about HTMLs they are not true content items. We are generating these HTMLs based on the structure of the site studio data file that is checked-in. I think it would be more clear if I add more details here.
The data files that I have been referring so far are bit complex. Our site studio contibution site allows creation of parent content items like detailed page, news articles etc and child items like RelatedSections, FAQ Items etc. The child items are referenced in the parent content items for organizing the parent content item's structure. All these site studio content items are XML files and each of them can internally contain links to other items. In fact the child items can have references to parents items or other childd items as static list (with link selector elements) and WYSIWYG editors are used while creating these content types (parent and child items).
Finally we generate the HTML only for parent items and display them on our portal. Child references are used only for defining parent item structure and the generated HTML for the parent item contains the details of child items. Our differentiation of parent and child is in the context. HTMLs that I have been talking so far are these ones only. They are not real content items.
The HTML will be generated when ever the parent item is updated and approved in the last step in our workflow. Now since parent item's HTML is dependent on child items, whenever a child item is updated and approved in the last step of workflow we should look up for all the parent items that are referring to this child and regenerate the HTML for those parent items using updated contents of this child.
Similar logic of HTML regeneration should be applied in the delete events.
Finally the revision related issues that I listed for data files apply for images as well. Since the images are also managed content items with multiple revisions they are maintained in site studio content items with their dDocName instead of its file file path and extension. Lets say an image is being referred in one of the parent content items and the image extension at the time it was initially used in the parent item is gif. The HTML contents for this parent that get generated will have gif extension for this image item. Now after some time if the user checks-in a new revision for this image item and lets say the extension now is png. But the HTML generated for the parent item is still having .gif in the img src attribute. Which means we need to re-generate the HTML in this case by checking where all this image item is referred.
If link manager can be helpful in meeting the above requirements it would be great. It shouldn't matter if there is bit of customization work involved.

Pratap
