Context Menu not displayed in KM for users except Administrator

Hi Experts
Can you please suggest where the permission should be given in order to make context menu visible for users who are not super-administrators but are content admin?
We are facing issue with context menu not shown at all to the users.
Please suggest.
Regards
Shaily

Hi Shaily,
You may need to look into the permissions on your Layout set and Resource renderer in use.
This thread will help you navigate and do the required changes.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Hi guru's,
I have similar issue with MIGO Material Doc display,
The screen field GOITEM-SGTXT on the 'Where' tab is not displaying for current year ,
Previous years the Text field is displaying with the data.
GOITEM-SGTXT is getting the data from ML18N , ESSR-TXZ01 as the text is not entering through MIGO.
I checked the customer exit and the BADI's for the MIGO , but not activated for manipulating the
GOITEM-SGTXT.
Please give me an idea what makes this issue.

Main Menu:Not enough disk space for asset encoding

i tried to burn my project first i got an error that in track 1 i've got no assets/videos and i added an asset, then a problem with the story and dragged the same story in both columns.. now i tried to burn again and got this error
Main Menu:Not enough disk space for asset encoding
Build cancelled
Building was not successful. See log.
any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

Sounds like your hard drive is getting full. You need as much space on your drive as you can get - at least as much as the disc contents, twice. If you are burning a DVD-R at 4.7Gb then allow ten Gb free space before you start.

AD stored user Photos do not display in Lync for Mac 2011

I'm using Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.9 and the my user photo as well as the photos of other users who are using photos stored in our AD do not display. This behaviour has been occurring at least since 14.0.5. The behaviour occurs regardless of whether
I sign in using Kerberos or name / Password. This behaviour is common for all our Mac lync users. The only photos that display are ones from windows lync users that have chosen to use a photo that is stored on the internet somewhere.
The Lync for Mac 2011 client is running against Lync Server 2010 and Exchange 2010 servers.
I also have the common problem that I cannot search the global address book for lync users. Maybe this is related but none of the reports I've seen about the address book search have mentioned anything about photos not displaying.
Anyone Experience similar issues or know where I could start to find the problem with the contacts display? It used to work correctly way back in 14.0.2 and subsequently an update around 14.0.5 killed the features for me.
Oh and the Mac is running OSX 10.9 but the issues also occurred in OSX 10.8
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you choose “Show a picture from a web address” on Windows Lync 2010 client? If yes, on Windows Lync 2010 client, choose “Default corporate picture” instead of “Show a picture from a web address”. Then open Lync 2011 on Mac computer to test the issue.
The choose will sync to all Lync clients for the same Lync account.

Web template not displaying report properly for few users

Hi,
We have a report based on a web template.The box is supposed to display values for certain fields.
For some users, this box is not displaying any values, its coming as blank and its shrinked in appearance.
This happens only for a few users.There are others who are able to see the report correctly with the values appearing
Any idea from where should we start trouble shooting and what should we look at?
Thanks,
Anjana

Hi,
You can specify the properties for your Web application in each Web template. The settings you have made can then be saved in a library and applied to any other Web template as needed. Choose the Web template for which you want to make the settings from the dropdown box in the header of the Properties window of the Web Application Desginer.
Go through the link and set according to the below link you can acheive this

DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8

Hi,
I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
It works well in Google Chrome.
It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

Hello Nancy,
I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now. Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.

Apple Mail 8.0 does not display email body for local folders

Last week I upgraded to Yosemite on a 2013 Mac Air. The upgrade went smoothly, but now I notice that all my mail on my local folders (i.e., not my gmail account) is missing the content of the message. New mail filed after the upgrade displays fine and messages filed prior to the upgrade that were sent from me, display fine, but all mail received and filed before the upgrade is blank except for the header. I tried to move a message thinking it might force Mail to identify a problem...and it does. It gives me the message "The message '<MESSAGE TITLE>' could not be moved to the mailbox '<DESTINATION FOLDER>'. Couldn't load body for <MFLibraryMessage:0x600000584780, library id:2172 conversationID:1224 mailbox:2010 <SOURCE FOLDER>"
I have scoured the web for solutions, and there are similar symptoms regarding Apple Mail and IMAP accounts, but my IMAP mailboxes display fine.
I made a TimeMachine back up before the upgrade, so I could restore the old OSX (Mountain Lion) and try again, but I'd love to find an easier solution.

Hi there,
ok now I found a solution:
Navigate to the folder which contains the local mailboxes as MBOX-Files. ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/
Locate the MBOX-file which contains the messages which are not displayed.
In my case I tried to access mails from "Empfangen" and "Gesendet" so I copied over those two MBOX-files to the desktop.
Now go to mail.app and select import message box
In the following context menu select "import files from Apple Mail" (cuz Apple Mail MBOX-files are not standard MBOX format)
Import the content.
After import drag your messages from the imported folder to the original folder.
done!
I hope that helps someone who has the same problem.
Greetings

Yosemite Mail context menu not working

Since the installation of Yosemite, Mail context menus no longer work. Control-clicking on a hyperlink in a mail messages opens a context menu containing these items:
Selecting any of the first 3 has no effect. Just clicking on the hyperlink will switch to the browser (Safari) and open the link. Clicking on "Services" does display a list of Services, and "Open URL in Firefox" at least seems to work. However, "Open URLs in Safari Tabs" does not. This seems to indicate a possible disconnect between Mail and Safari in particular.
I've seen this problem in the Yosemite beta, the 10.0 release and the 10.1 release. I haven't heard of many encountering this problem, but I have heard of a few. Has anyone here seen this, and maybe found a resolution for the problem?
Operating Environment
MacBook Pro (Late 2011), Mac Pro (Late 2008)
Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1)
Mail (Version 8.1)
Safari (Version 8.0)

This must be a pretty low-priority bug. I saw it in the Yosemite beta, and every update since, now including 10.10.2.

Time Machine not displaying backups of mounted /Users

Bottom Line: Time Machine 'Warp' GUI does not display available backups when using Finder to browser user directories stored on HDD, mounted on /Users in /etc/fstab, even though the backups exist and I can navigate to them from the Finder to the backup disk
Machine Config:
1. OS X Lion 10.8.5 on MBP 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on a SSD as the OS X boot drive, and the OEM HDD in a drive tray in what used to be the superdrive bay.
2. The HDD is a single partition dedicated to Users and mounted to /Users. When unmounted, the SSD has a /Users dir with a single admin-enabled user still present to ensure I can still boot and log in as that user in the event the HDD does not mount.
3. The /Users dir mounts successfully using /etc/fstab
4. The HDD still displays in the Finder window and the desktop, which is not a problem for me
I've posted a work-around at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/mlanham/currEvents.shtml that explains I can, inside the TM restore GUI (what I've heard called 'warp' and 'space') select the machine label under the Devices list in Finder (on the left side). I can then expand folders without double clicking them, and get TM to restore the file(s)...TM sees the backups as present and available and functions as I would expect.
However, when I select a labeled location (e.g. Google Drive, Downloads) under the Favorites label, still inside the TM restore GUI, all the backups are black and do not otherwise indicate they are present for restore actions.
I thought I read a blurd somewhere warning me of this situation, but I cannot find the blurb anymore--surely I'm not the only one to have experienced this. Has anyone else experienced it? Overcome it?
More importantly, I am interested in knowning if this is 'as designed' behavior or a bug in TM's GUI presentation. Why should TM care if a dir is a mounted partition or not...if it was present during backup, and present during a restore request, it should render the available backups as available to select. Not make me do a work around.

Earlier, I posted that the OP in https://discussions.apple.com/message/8182305#8182305 resolved this situation by making a softlink from SSD /Users to HDD's /Users and removing the entry from /etc/fstab. Initially, I thought this was a bad idea, as if the HDD fails to spin up and mount to /Volumes, that the system would fail to boot as it would not find a /Users directory available.
Then I read a different post that implied that if that happens, simply boot to single user mode and fix the trouble with the HDD.
Is this soft-link + boot to single user mode a better choice than /etc/fstab to mount the HDD to /Users (where the SDD has a non-empty /Users with a single admin-enabled user in it)?

Context menu not showing up in EP ( OPEN Object,Permissions ..etc.)

Dear Portal Gurus,
We did some changes to the Top Level Nav. PAR file and deployed it into EP.We did it couple of times with every new change and it worked OK.Then once there was this problem with in the Code due some oversight from the developer.We deployed it ...then we were getting an error in EP the Mast Head + Top Level Nav. (all Tabs) part was missing ...was replaced by an error.
The developer did a Remove Iview from page.
I deployed a new PAR which was a copy of the original (untouched version of Top Level Nav. PAR) and created a new Iview based on that and used it in the framework page.....The problem was still existing it.
So I transported the framwork page from my other EP system onto to this EP system which had problems....
After the transport,all looked OK...no errors..things worked good.
But after 2 days I got a scripting error wherein the page would load but there would be an error in the status bar.
Now we were not able to expand any TREE or open any context menu ( for e.g. OPEN OBJECT,Permissions etc).
The problem with the TREE expansion has been fixed but the context menu still has problems...
EP 6.0,SP12.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Josh

close the browser, delete the cache and retry it
i've seen some problems with the context menu in EP, but its usually due to the browser cache

Context menu not working outside of JDev

Hi all,
RTFM replies welcomed, although I couldn't find anything.
I have a very simple application (ADF BC + ADF Faces, 11.1.1.1.0).
On one page, I have an af:table that lists departments; there is a context menu that allows me to right-click a row and go to an edit page. It works just fine using the WLS integrated in JDeveloper (on Windows). I have deployed the application to a 10.1.3.1 WLS (JRF installed properly) on Linux. The list page displays, context menu shows up, but when I choose the "edit" item in the context menu, nothing happens. I don't see anything interesting (or otherwise) in WLS log files.
Am I missing a configuration somewhere?
Thanks for any help (the app is the same app that I used for my ADF Essentials series on OTN, if anyone wants to download it - I'm trying to get one last wrinkle ironed on the last article, and they are good to go - so anyone who helps here, I'll give them a kudo in the article!).
I can post the content of the PPR requests and responses if that helps someone (yay, Firebug!)
As an update - I've tried all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome - sorry Opera) and get the same results.
Best,
John

John,
I had to make some changes. The app I got from your series contained only an empty page flow and empty pages. I added the DepartmentList.jspx and DepartmentEdit.jspx to the adfc-config.xml. I added the navigation editDepartment from DepartmentLits to DepartmentEdit in the task flow.
Because of the empty pages I'd put a read only table on the DepartmentList, added the code from your post to the contextMenu facet, added an edit form on the DepartmentEdit.jspx page.
Tested it in jdev -> OK
deployed the app on my test wls server -> OK
So nothing fancy.
Is the WLS on OpenSuse 11.2 RC a 64bit installation?
I remember seeing strange behavior on a ubuntu 9.04 64bit installation had used before. My app runs fine on 32bit ubuntu 9.04 but i got errors when the app was hosted on the 64bit server. Never investigated it further because at work we are using SLSE and it's working there.
Anyway I'll mail you the workspace I used.
Keep me posted :-)
Timo
