Creating layout set for custoom ivew rookie

Hi, I want to do a simple iview where I display some news/articles. So I made the iview, set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" in documents/news/mynews and in that directory I created some forms. So now when I preview the ivew, I see the news/articles. Next step was to think how to display only the last 3 articles from that folder. and also have a link "go to archive" or something to display them all in a popup. Someone told me I have to make a layout set for that but I don;t know where to start. I tried googling about layout sets, collection renderer and resource renderer...what do they do, their rolse/use etc but haven't been able to put things head to head. Can someone give me some pointers on how to achieve this?
10x in advance

Hi,
To show only last 3 documents, check this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/45bcc1c0-0d01-0010-1094-fe7993416ea6
One more idea would be to show 3 documents using KM Navigation IView like this:

To show archieved files, you are right you should just change the layoutset, check this:

Sorting with layout set for NewsBrowser and custom made properties

Hi
I have developed some custom made properties that is used for each document based on XML Form. But how can I obtain a custom sorting order based on my properties.
After created a document I define some properties for company, department and process. And using the layout set for NewsBrowser I will have my documents sorted due to my processes. Lets say that I have set the properties for the process for some documents, e.g. SA1010, SA1010-1, SA1010-1a, how to obtain this sorting order in a KM-Navigation-iView using layout set for NewsBrowser?

Hi Kay-Arne,
A namespace defines a system area in which a property (defined by a property ID) is allowed to exist only once. So for your own predefined properties you should use an own namespace in order to be able to use a Property ID that is already available in another namespace. Check this link for more info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/9a4a3b80f2ec40aa7456bc87a94259/frameset.htm
In the Property Definition you later use the Namespace Alias. This alias (with ":PropertyID") you would also use in the LayoutSet Parameter mentioned above.
Hope this clarify things ,

Layout set for the link within the portal favorites

Hi,
I added a link to a KM folder in my portal favorites and when I click on this link, it opens this folder in a new window but with a standard layout set.
How can I use my own layout set when I open this folder from my portal favorites ?
Thanks,
Loïc LEVEUGLE

Thanks for your answer Sumit.
In fact, I just had to change the "layout set" property of the iView "Km Navigation iView" of the folder "/Content Provided by SAP/End User Content/Standard Portal Users/iViews/com.sap.km.iviews/URL Access/" of the PCD.

Layout set for XML Forms.

Hi,
I am developing a 'who is who' (contacts) page using XML Form builder.
Now, I want each contact to be displayed in a credit card design.
So, I could think about two different options for that
1. Adding the design as a background image. tried to add in the XML form itself; but it is not properly rendering. Is there any option to set it using Layout set(CollectionRenderer)?
2. Adding style sheet in XML form builder itself. But I am completely illiterate about this. Can write the design in a css file?
I could find two options in the FORM
Row Style:
(Style sheet for the table rows)
Column Style:
(Style sheet for the table columns.)
Can some one provide me a solution? or suggest some better solution.?
Regards,
Jelbin

Hi,
Just explain your requirement in Single line. What you want to do in XML form? What is your requirement?
Thanks,

How to change the layout set for Search Results

Hi gurus.
Im developing a search component for KM Search iView, and as a requirement the layout must change dynamically to display the search results. How do I get this to happen?
public SearchParamsMap getSearchParamsMap() {
     SearchParamsMap m = new SearchParamsMap();
          try {
          IQueryEntryList list =                   this.createQuery();
               m.put(SearchParamConst.PARAM_SEARCH_QUERY_ENTRIES,                list);
          } catch (WcmException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          m.put(
               SearchParamConst.PARAM_SEARCH_IN,
               SearchParamConst.SEARCH_FROM_FOLDER);
          m.put(SearchParamConst.PARAM_SEARCH_FOLDER, path);
          return m;
private IQueryEntryList createQuery() throws WcmException {
          Hashtable searchParameters = new Hashtable();
          searchParameters.put(
               SearchParamConst.PARAM_ITEMS_SELECTION,
               SearchParamConst.ITEM_ONLY_DOCS);
          searchParameters.put(
               SearchParamConst.RESULT_LAYOUT_SET,
               "Sed_Comunicados");
          SearchQueryListBuilder sqb =
               new SearchQueryListBuilder(searchParameters);
          IQueryEntryList qel = sqb.buildSearchQueryList();
          return qel;
In the createQuery() method, code searchParameters.put(
               SearchParamConst.RESULT_LAYOUT_SET,
               "Sed_Comunicados"); is not working. Also, where do I find the documentation for Class SearchParamConst?

I have the same question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Create combination of two layout sets

Hello,
I would like to create new layout set for KM Navigation iView. That should be combination of TabExplorer layout and ConsumerThumbnailExplorer layout. There have to be folders displayed like tabs on the top of screen and list of documents (with thumbnails) which belong selected folder. I've tried to combine both of the standard layouts but no results.
Could someone help me with that?
Thank you in advance!

Zbynek

Hi Sybille,
in my opinion it is the best approach to write a Property Renderer no matter if you want to show the Property URLArisExport as link to another property or as an icon (with a link).
It should be no big implementation task.
BUT: I found out that there is really a modifier called "contentLinkCommand" (as you stated above) but I can not tell you if it's in SP2 Patch 35 and was not even able to use it in my version.
Maybe some colleague from KM development can supply some information here.
Best regards from the north part of Germany,

Creating a NetInstall Set for '10 MacBook

I am attempting to create a NetInstall set for a brand new Intel MacBook running 10.6. I have used Bombich's NetRestore Helper in the past for set creations but the last version (3.4.6) hangs and will never complete the set creation. Is there any other way to create a set for a 10.6 machine? I've looked into Deploy Studio but I don't have anything set up yet and I'd like to continue with my current setup for the time being. I'm running 10.5.8 server and all other machine types boot fine for NetInstall purposes. Just the newest machines have trouble. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Last I heard, Bombich's tool didn't work in SnowLeopard. You can use Apple's System Image Utility, but you'll have to download the 10.6.3 Server Admin Tools and install in on a Snow Leopard client system.

Customize the layout set used when opening a folder in search result list?

Hi,
I have created a search result iView that uses a predefined search query to show a list of folders. If I click on a folder (rnd:displayname(contentLink)) its content is displayed in a new window. Here the layout set Consumer Explorer (default profile?) is used.
I want to use a custom layout set in this window. How can I achieve this?
Regards,
Mario

Hi Mario,
here the answers:

You can either check the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/Implementing%20Flexible%20UI%20One-Step-Screenflow.article">Implementing Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow</a> tutorial by Thilo Brandt or search here on SDN for "UI Command implementation" examples.

Normally, as you can see in the above mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/59bb2eece725498427334e0e21b80c/content.htm">Priority of Settings</a>, whenever the KM Navigation component (com.sap.km.cm.navigation) is opened without a specific layout set the global default layout set is used. As you can give this parameters by different ways (as URL parameter, in the KM Navigation iView configuration, via OTH file definition, hardcoded or configured in the configuration of an UI Command, etc.) it is nearly impossible to find all situation where your users will get this default profile.
The UI Commands (with selection) you mentioned like "copy","move","create_link" use the configured LayoutSet (ConsumerOnlyFolderSelector) from the KM Configuration (of the command).

One idea would be to use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0f/764b87dfb948fcb13fd7695e157892/content.htm">Multiple Property Replacement</a> feature by SAP.

Of course. One other possibility I have in mind is to work with OTH files. You might also search here on SDN to see how to use them for setting the layout set for specific folder paths.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to change a folder layout set using KM api?

Hello,
I'm developing a program using KM api that creates different folders with properties, permissions, ... I want to use a different layout set depending on the folder that i am browsing, but these folders are created dinamically, so I cant set a different layouts set for each one manually (Details > Display > ...).
Does anybody know how I could do it using KM api? I mean, that every time I create a folder using KM api I should assaing dinamically the default layout set for this folder. I searched in the api and examples and I didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hi all,
Problem solved... I decompiled standard code and I did what SAP do when they want to change a folder layout set:
IResourceContext context = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceContext("cmadmin_service");
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser puser = context.getUser();
ICollection collection = (ICollection)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(RID.getRID("folder_path"),context);
IRepositoryServiceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory();
ILayoutService layoutService = (ILayoutService)factory.getRepositoryService(collection, "LayoutRepositoryService");
ILayoutContext userContext = layoutService.getContextForUser(puser, "");
ContextProperties commonProperties = new ContextProperties(layoutService, collection, userContext.getAnonymousContext(), layoutService.getProfiles(), new HashMap());
commonProperties.initFromPersistence();
commonProperties.setSelectedProfileID("LayoutSetProfile");
commonProperties.setSelectedLayoutsetID("ID_of_my_layout_set");
ArrayList errormsg = new ArrayList();
commonProperties.save(null, errormsg, false);
Thanks and regards,
jc!

Layout Set Strange Problem

HI all
I have created new Layout Set - advanced copy of ConsumerExplorer- with some changes. This layout set is assigned to KM Navigation iView and as a Search Results Layout Set.
In this layout set in KM_ConsumerCollectionRenderer, in Displayed Properties we have put some custom properties. Some of the properties are of type String and other are of type Date.
When we see the docs in KM Navigation iView only properties having String type are getting displayed. Properties of type Date are displayed as blank.
But when we search for the same document its all properties are displayed including of type Date.
I am wondering, I have used same Layout Set for KM Navigation and Search iviews, but KM Navigation has some problems.
Please reply immediately.

Hi,
Can you check by going to "presentation" in folder>details>settings>select profile> choose other layout. Under the "properties to show" tab you can click on the "add" button and choose the properties. Check the preview. By this we can check if there is any problem specific to the layout set you are using before.

Layout Set - Suggestions?

Overview
I have a KM iView that allows users to create forms and store them in a KM folder (/documents/broadcasts).
So when the user accesses the iView they see a left Menu Tree displaying:
Broadcast
     - Folder 1
     - Folder 2
     - Folder 3
When the user clicks on their folder they see the forms they have created. In order to create a new form the user clicks Folder->New->Forms this allows them to select between News or Announcement. When they make a selection the correct form shows up etc...
Everything works fine but I would like to simplify things for the End users. Here is what I would like to change:
Issue 1
There is a horizontal menu above the Menu Tree showing 5 context menus (View, Folder, Selection, GoTo, and Search). I really don't want users to have access to all of these menus but since I didn't create any of this I am unsure how to remove the menus. I am assuming they come with the Layout Set used for the iView?
Issue 2
Having the user click Folder->New->Forms is also very confusing and I would rather have just the New menu at the top (as WPC shows) which gives the user the News and Announcement options. So they would Click New->Forms or just New->
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers I would appriciate it.

Hi TA,
I would suggest using 2 layout sets... The NewsExplorer layout set for the sub-folders and maybe ConsumerExplorer for the root layout set. The iView would have the "Layout Set" as NewsExplorer and the "Layout Set for Root Collection" as ConsumerExplorer.
You might need to make a copy of the NewsExplorer layout set and add the 'Back' button to the collection renderer so users can get back out of the sub-folders.
Issue 1 will be handled by the fact that you're not using the AdminExplorer or other Tree List with Menu layout set.
Issue 2 should be handled by the NewsExplorer layout set which just gives a list of the Forms available to the folder with 'new' in front.
[New News|]         [New Announcement|]
ItemListRenderer 1
ItemListRenderer 2
Good-Luck.
Regards,
Graham
