Custom Navigation - pt tags

We are developing completely custom Navigation that is included in Header Portlet - in G6. To accomodate branding etc. I have to set url directly to pages (not communities). I have tried to pass pageID var - no success. What am I doing wrong? I try to use Adaptive pt Tags - no success.Let's say I have pages - Home, About us, Contact etc

Why don't you try using the pt:openerlink tag. There's documentation online. It lets you open an Portal object (such as a community or mypage) by referencing it's object and class IDs.

Left side custom navigation

Hi,
We would like to add left side custom navigation in Oracle Webcenter Interaction (ALUI 6.5 version) portal pages. We know the portal offers us to add navigation at the top of the page by adding header. Is there a way we can add left side navigation coverting some space on the left the whole page?
Thanks.

Yep, it is definitely possible.
Through code you have access to communities, pages, sub-communities and related communities.
You need to create a portlet either remotely (.net/java) or through Publisher, code the navigation within it, then set your experience definition "Navigation Options" to "Portlet Ready Navigation" - but only change that once you are content with your portlet navigation as this will wipe out the out of the box nav and you might not be able to access certain things. I don't recommend changing this setting on your admin accounts experience definition out of safety.
Let us know if there is anything in particular you are trying to do.
I recently made a blog post about a new navigation that we are using. We replaced our combo of header and left column navigation with just header navigation and so far folks seem to prefer it. Here is the post:
http://xuexideshengsuo.blogspot.com/2010/12/oracle-webcenter-interaction-page.html
Here is some starter code that might help.
This gets all of the communities a person has added (or that are mandatory) and adds them to the commmenu array.
Then it loops through that array and spits out a link for each one.
<pt:ptdata.mycommunitiesdata pt:id="commmenu"/>
<pt:logic.foreach pt:data="commmenu" pt:var="element">
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$element.url"><pt:logic.value pt:value="$element.title" /></pt:core.html>
</pt:logic.foreach>
This gets all of the pages a person has access to for the community they are currently on and then displays them.
<pt:ptdata.currcommunitypagesdata pt:id="commmenu"/>
<pt:logic.foreach pt:data="commmenu" pt:var="commpg">
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$commpg.url"><pt:logic.value pt:value="$commpg.title"/></pt:core.html>
</pt:logic.foreach>

What are the ways to develop custom navigation in ALUI?

Hi,
Is there any way to develop custom navigation other then using
UI Customization installer , Liquid Skin and Adpative Tags.
With Regards
Dheeraj

Yes, you can as suggested in previous post. The key is that:
1) You can disable standard portal navigation (part of Exp Def)
2) Develop your own PORTLET that will implement custom navigation.
Depends of what you need your portlet may be implemented as header, canvas or regular portlet.
For example, you may choose to go with regular portlet if you already have a lot of legacy code that have to drive this navigation. Yes, this way has drawbacks and looks more like exception.

How to create custom navigations

Hi
I want to create a custome navigation with some link like detailed navigation. When i click on links my iviews has to change. How to do this?
Regards
Ravi Shankar B

Hi,
If you want to create your own detailed navigation, then you should use navigation tablibs to do that, check this to know more:

EFP: Navigation and Framework Tag Libraries
If this is not what you want, explain the usecase clearly.

Adding custom navigation rules results in strange behavior

Hello,
We'd like to add navigation rules to our application. To avoid post-JHeadstart-generation-steps we created an extra faces-config-custom.xml file which contains the navigation rules. When adding this file to the web.xml and run the aplication we encounter strange behavior
- Errors are shown in duplicate
- 'Transaction completed' messages are not shown
Try adding the underneath faces-config-custom.xml to a standard HR demo project and you will get the same behavior.
(1) What is the reason of this strange behavior?
(2) How can we add custom navigation rules, without having to do post creation steps?

Leon,
When you perform a drag and drop operation, JDeveloper adds the following lines to the faces-config.xml:
<lifecycle>
<phase-listener>
Oracle.adf.controller.faces.lifecycle.ADFPhaselistener
</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>
However, JHeadstart uses its own subclass of ADFPhaselistener, and defines the lifecycle element in JhsCommon-beans.xml. Due to a bug in ADF, ADF does not look for the lifecycle element in other files than faces-config, and adds its own element in faces-config.xml If you remove these lines, everything works fine again.
To prevent this from happening again, you can move the following entry from JhsCommon-beans.xml to faces-config.xml:
<lifecycle> <phase-listener>oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.lifecycle.JhsADFPhaseListener</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>
And then make a custom template for JhsCommon-beans.vm where you remove this entry.

Adding custom navigation to the script

One of the scripts which I am preparing at the moment is giving me some problems.
This script has 5 nodes. In the first three, a new user account is created, and in the 3rd node I get a special user ID (it can be found in the pages html source).
Then the 4th node navigates to an absolutely unrelated page, and the user ID I get from node 3 is used to construct the address for node 4. And node 5 just does more work on that page which I navigate to in node 4.
As such, I have to use a custom navigation here, which can be implemented, if I am not mistaken, with provided the e-Load Navigation Editor. I do all the steps mentioned in the manual, and it all seems clear and well described. But when I try to run run that node 4 I get something like
http://mysiteaddress/clever.page?&sp={{UserId[3]_#_Uo2k0k4g0000hk464a1h0000000}}&sp=en
i.e. the substitution in the address with that custom variable somehow fails, and I get the regular expression code as the output instead of the processed expression. UserId[3] is the variable defined on step 3, which contains the id I mentioned.
Anyone knows what could be the problem here?
I know how to do that with PI, but I would like to try and use the Navigation Editor first.

Can you try this "session.serverVariables.VARIABLENAME"

Create Search Custom Navigation Link

Good day everyone.
I' am trying to add custom navigation link under main search box - like everything, people and others in search center site
After searching a little bit a have found that you need to create a custom page
For example this is a default page for Document Navigation
<%@ Page Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath="~TemplatePageUrl" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath="~masterurl/custom.master" %><%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

Are there some manuals how to create a custom pages like this?
Thanks in advance

Custom navigation service - 2 questions

Hi,
I have made a custom navigation service based on the PDK navigation connector example.
It comes in two flavours, both XML data and database data based.
The DB variant is far more flexible, however, when the service is loaded, the JNDI name for the datasource cannot be retrieved.
Question 1: Could this be the custom navigation service is loaded before the JNDI/JDBC service is loaded, and if so, is there a way to set the startup order?
The XML variant needs maintanance (updating the XML), and therefore refreshing/restarting the service.
However, when restarting the service, the new XML isn't loaded into the server, but it seems to use the old (cached?) version.
Question 2: Is there a way to force the service to use the updated XML file?
Hope someone can come up with a solution for either of these questions.
A workable solution will be rewarded with a can of beer

Hi,
(1) If your service calls to another service, you must do the call in the afterInit() method, because you do not know what service will be initialized first.
(2) Are you using SP14 or greater? In this cache, there is a navigation cache, and the nodes will come from the navigation cache, which will not change.
(3) How and when do you read the XML? Perhaps the XML is not getting read in subsequent registrations.
Hope this helps.

Create a Custom Navigation Path / Custom Hierarchy in IDT

Hi,
I have a Bex query and hierarchy built on Navigational attributes (In other words Flat Hierarchy) but my users dont like the way hierarchy is set up when we execute the report. Bex query is built on MP. For example, In the Bex query designer I can see my Product dimension and in that dimension I can see various characteristics / nNav attributes which are used to display flat hierarchy in the report when executed.
I know we can customize the hierarchy in IDT as a custom navigation path.
My question is that Is it possible to use Bex query as a source for universe in IDT and then achieve this customize hierarchy objective OR Can I directly use the Bex query for Webi interface and still customize the hierarchy like Custom Navigation path.
Can I see my Navigational attributes of Bex query in the universe (IDT) OR Webi as dimension so I can use them for custom navigation path.
We are using BOBJ 4.1 SP 1
Thank you
NI

Hi,
you can build a Universe on a BEx Query to leverage the OLAP functionalities. You can create a relational Universe on top of a BEx Query but this is not really recommended.
I would highly recommended you connect WebI directly to your BEx Query using the BICS interface. With the BICS interface we support more BEx Elements as via the relational Universe.
