Create editable content area

hi,
i noticed in dreamweaver there is create editable regions etc. how can i create a page that when the user logs in they can input the text and click update and it will change the public index file?
dont really want to go and use joomla or anything if possible.
many thanks

I have no idea whether InContext Editing can be branded. I doubt it, though, because it's an Adobe hosted service.
Creating a simple CMS in Dreamweaver is perfectly possible. See the tutorial athttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html. It runs you through the basics of inserting, updating, and deleting records.
Although I have never used it myself, several people have recommended CushyCMS for a basic CMS for clients. See http://www.cushycms.com/.

!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!! Can't reach the tabs of edit content area

I have a big problem.
When I try to edit a content area, i come to the following tab : MAIN
But when I click on any other tab i get :
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Open the portal.irc.be home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.
HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer
Can anyone help me please.
THX in advance.
P.S I have several databases running on 1 machine.
I only get this message in one database.

Hi,
You must switch to the "master pages" tab first, then mark the content area to be able to move it.
You cannot move the content area in the design view, since it is part of the master page.

New div in editable content area

I want to create a new div within the editable area of my DW page (CS4). This is not the template file, but the actual page I'm working on. It will create the div, but I can't get any of the attributes like width and position to apply. Is there a certain way I should put a div inside an editable area like this?

What steps are you taking to insert the <div> into the editable region?
Are you doing this manually or through the various menus in Dreamweaver?
I'll assume you're doing it maunally via Dreamweaver:
1) You have the <div> inserted in your editable region, right?>Insert>Layout Objects>Div Tag>Insert>After start tag>choose name of your editable <div>
2) Give it an id in the same menu and then press ok.
3)Next go>Window>Css styles>click the little + icon (bottom right corner)>enter the ID (name) of the <div> you inserted in the editable region>click ok
4) You will then be presented with a menu to choose the <divs> attributes. Width/height come under the 'Box' category down the left side.
5) Optional-its a whole lot easier to just do the above in code view.

Content Area: Cannot edit/drill down to folders at the lowest level

URGENT: Need your help.
I am using Oracle Portal 3.0.6 (Production) installed on Win NT 4.0 Server with Oracle 8.1.7. I am working on hosting a website for my development group.
I created a Content Area and associated it with a page style. Then I created numerous folders to meet the requirements of the various product teams working in my team. Under each folders, I created various sub-folders. Now I want to add items under each folder I created. Earlier, using the link "Edit Folder", I could do by clicking on the folder under which I wanted to create an item. Now when I click on the folder, it returns back the same page showing all the folders along with the icons meant for "Edit", "Add", "Delete", "Move" and "Copy". Nothing is happening and I am stuck here. It displays all the sub-folders with links upto 2-level, since I set the navigator property to the level 2. But I cannot navigate to the sub-folder created at the third level by clicking on the sub-folder link above it (at the 2-level) and add any items under the clicked folder.
Only mistake I could think about was by mistake, I tried to delete a content area which was created for test purpose. There were folders created under this. But I attempted to delete the content area directly without deleting the folders underneath. I got an error saying ".... child records exist". Later while clicking on the tab "content area", I was getting the following error:
An unexpected error ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value occurred when executing action of the SITE datasource. (WWC-38130)
(WWS-00000)
Error:No data found (WWS-32101)
ORA-1403: ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-01403: no data found (WWC-36000)
normal, successful completion (WWS-00000)
All product teams already submitted the contents they want me to put on the folders but I am unable to resolve the above problem. Any help / pointer to the above issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hierarchy keys are set properly and "use for display" is checked.
Dimension presentation hierarchies does not work only when I use particular two hierarchies togather in one report table. When each of hierarchies is displayed separately it works ok.

How to create a "News" Content area with an effective date

I have a requirement to create a content area such that each item which is uploaded
will have an effective viewing date range. I know I can create a custom item type
and prompt for the Start View Date, and the End View Date.
Questions...
1. How do I 'filter' the displayed content so that the 'news' item only show up
if the current System Date is between the Start/End View dates ?
2. Exception, the Content Manager should be able to see the entire news content
items regardless of the system date ?
Page parameter mapping seems like a partial solution, but I don't see how to
create the folder filter predicate like "where SYSDATE between view_start and view_end.

Why not use Publish Date and Expiry Date?

How to pass variable to content area from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to create a(Content area) folder based on a PL/SQL procedure that takes a variable as a
parameter and returns data based on value of that parameter to the folder . Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

Somewhere, in one procedure, build a session identifier and save your variable there. If no session with that identifier is previously stored, it will create a new session instance with that ID for you.
declare
l_sess portal30.wwsto_api_session;
varvalue number;
begin
varvalue := 100;
l_sess := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
l_sess.set_attribute('VAR_NAME',varvalue);
l_sess.save_session;
end;
In your other procedure, or anywhere else needed within that same session, simply load the session and reference the variable. To reference the variable, use the following.
-- assuming new procedure, so re-defining session variable and reloading session into it
declare
my_session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
my_new_variable number;
begin
my_session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
my_new_variable := my_session.get_attribute_as_number('VAR_NAME');
end;
This will let you reference parameters across multiple portal applications and indirect calls.

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.

URL for pages that contain content areas

Hello
I've created a Content Area that has many folders in it. I've created a new portal page with the content area and I want to use URL links to point to that page and a specific folder maintaining my portlets in their place. How can I construct the URL?
Thanks

Hi,
I think I understand your question, however not sure.
What you can do is url linking like:
portalpages:
http://localhost/pls/portal30/url/page/<pagename>
(sub-folder) in contentarea's:
http://localhost/pls/portal30/url/folder/<contentarea-name>/<subfolder>/<subfolder>etc

Security issue with content areas

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If you have, is there a work around? It seems like some of content area security is cached in the database. This is what happened in my two test cases.
Test case 1:
- First I created several content areas with subfolders by using the wwwsbr_api.
- I granted access to just to the content area, and not the subfolders. I did this because when I looked at the content areas created above, the Add Privileges To All Sub-folders was marked.
- Then when I login as the test user I was able to see the content area, but none of the subfolders. That didn?t surprise me because I was guessing that the radio button to add privileges to the subfolder was only used when the user pressed the Cascade Privileges button.
- I granted access to the all subfolders on the content areas the test user should be able to access.
- Then I login again with the test you. I move into the content area that I viewed the first time, and I still can?t see the subfolders. But I could see all the subfolders of the other content areas the test user had access to.
- I logged in to make sure the group was added to access the subfolders of the content area. The group did have access to the content area and all the subfolders, but the user still could not see the subfolders.
- The only way the test user was finally able to see the subfolders was for me to go to the content area and pressed the Cascade Privileges with Add Privileges To All Sub-folders marked.
So it seems like for some reason Oracle is storing the security, and not updating it when it is updated via API for content areas.
Test case 2:
- First I created several content areas with subfolders by using the wwwsbr_api.
- I granted access to just to the content area, and not the subfolders.
- Then when I login as the test user I was able to see the content area, but none of the subfolders.
- I alter the test user and give him the privilege to view all content areas.
- I login again as the test user, and I go to the content area I looked at the first time I logged in, but still couldn?t see any of the subfolders in it. I went to two other content areas, and was able to see all the subfolders.
- I alter the test user again removing the privilege to view all content areas.
- I login again as the test user and look at the second and third content area again. I still could see all the subfolders even though the user does not have access to them.
I have tried clearing cache, history, deleting all temporary files and restarting my computer to make sure that it was not caching issue in the browser.
Thanks,
Tom

Do you mean that no matter what folder the link points at, it only goes to the root folder of the target folder's content area?

Writing a specific text in the title bar of a content area

Hallo,
We have created several Content Areas which will be published as Webpage (NOT as Portlet to a Portal-Page! As example you can visit our Project Homepage http://pan.wsr.ac.at:7778/pls/portal30/url/FOLDER/ACCESSLAB/).
Unfortunatly in the Title bar of the Browser there is always displayed the Title "Portal Content Area Builder".
How can we change this Title to a more descriptive one for each specific Content Area respectively each Folder of a specific Content Area?
Thanks,
Christian

The frame title is (typically) set in a native OS frame, which is not controlled by Java.
Perhaps if you tell Java to let the L&F control the frame decorations it might work, but probably not, as it would probably just try to mimic what the OS does anyway, which is to not support HTML.
So basically, you can't.

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

Carmen,
There patch available for this bug in metalink ( http://metalink.oracle.com ). You should find the patch in the recent portal patch list. The bug no for this patch is 1574770.

Difference between content area page and page

Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
the page created in create page tool ?
I'm really confused.
Thanks.
Regards,
Maggie

Essentially they're the same.
The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
because architecturally when we display content for you to work
with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
content portlet.
In the next release this will change, there will be only one
type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
portlets to it.
