Customising the navigation structure in the portal

Hi All,
Please help me in solving this issue
Requirement:Instead of two level navigation in the top level navigation and the sub levels in the detailed navigation requirement is all the levels should be in the toplevel navigation like the one in www.ibm.com
for example when we mouse over system administration it should show all the things under that like Transport,Monitoring etc in the table format and when i mouse over Transport it should show all the things under that in another table and so on.
Hope you understand the problem
My doubt is can we implement this requirement because there are two different iviews DetailednavigationIView and TopNavigationIView.can we combine these two iviews and create a single navigation structure.
If yes please let me know and please refer www.ibm.com for the navigation structure
I am at the client location.Please send me the reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Bala

Hi Bala,
I had seen ur other thread. In that thread u had specified that u had made the changes. does it work?
Anyway to make changes to the top level navigation (in case of levels)
Go to Portal Users --> Standard Portal Users in the portal catalog.
Open the Default FrameWork chose Properties
Set the "Number of Display Levels " according to u r requirement.
To change the detailed navigation level
Select the "Desktop InnerPage" select the iview "Detailed Navigation" --> Properties
Change the "Start at Level" value property to u r required value.
May this will solve u r problem in a simple way.
if u want to it like what u specifie in the thread u need to go through the Navigation API and develop it u r self.
Look at this links this may help u

Changing the Portal Navigation structure

Hello everyone,
I am also trying to modify the Portal general look and feel. I want to change the portal navigation structure (not just the themes and templates) the way first and second level navigation has been arranged. Do you have any idea as to how to do this?
One example could be, can I center all the second level navigation items. Can I modify the tab separators etc.
Would appreciate any help.

Hi Gopi,
A. Pls check your browser settings.
We did face similar problems like Java script errors throwing msg's
" null or not an object.
object required"
Hope you are using IE. If so,
1. Go to Tools - > Internet Options - > Advanced .
Enable " http1.1 through Proxy Connections".
2. Increase the Cache.
B. Check whether the user has permissions to access the portal content
Go to Content Administration - > Portal Content.
Select Portal Content and right click. Select Permissions and check out.

Can MDAC installation cause navigation problems within the portal?

Hello,
I have a client who having problems loading page links in our second level navigation. Evertime time she clicks on node to expand the tree of links, she gets a "loading" message. I see this all the time but this message doesn't go away. She also gets a javascript error on the page stating it cannot find the specify module. She notice the problem around the time of her MDAC file installation. Do anyone know if this can cause a problem for navigation on the portal?
Thank you,
Francis

You made this bed by over complicating your site. Simple solution, take your pages out of sub-folders. Nobody but you cares about the .html extensions. IMO, it's a very poor reason for using sub-folders.
About linking & navigation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7c44a.h tml
Presently, you must be using document relative link paths. Either switch to Site Root Relative links which will likely work on your remote server but fail to test locally. Or use absolute URLs (http://). The downside with this is that DW won't be able to manage links for you.

How to add Navigation Level to the Portal?

Hi All,
How to add Navigation Level to the Portal?
for example:
1st Level is the Role
2nd Level is Worksets/Folders
I want that the 3rd Level will contain more Worksets/Folders and will be under the 2nd level and not in the "Detailed Navigation".
I tried to change the "Number of display levels" in the framework page but it didn't help.
Attached a picture with the required result (of course, for my roles)
http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=toplevelnavigation7xy.jpg
Thanks, Omri

Hi Omri,
in fact, almost one year ago we did something similar on a project basis, but as already stated here, this was done by modification. What we did was providing a dropdown box within the masthead, containing the first level, and the second and third level now have been displayed where normally the first and second level are. That was a ten days solutions, some very fine granulated work. But nice
Anyhow, nowadays this can be more easy using the LightFrameworkPage (if that's OK for your purpose) and the Navigation Tag Library, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/f35146a7203255e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm for details.
Hope it helps

Navigation Panel of the Portal ITSbased service iviews to come in Diff.Lang

Hello Everybody,
We have a ITS based ESS services, in that we have to get the services in the language selected by the user in the browser. i.e., if he selects French, the iviews should come in French. So, the problem here is iviews are all coming in the browser language(i.e, French,German or English etc...). But the Navigation Panel which contains the list of the iviews is not getting converted into the selected language, It is still coming in English. which is the master language of the iview.
If anybody has any idea on how to correct this. Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

No they are not standard iviews, They are IAC iviews created by us with some transaction codes.
When the language is changed in the browser or with the user in UME, the iview content is coming in that language in the portal content area, but in the navigation panel where all the list of the iviews will appear. that list is coming in English only. the list of iviews means the list of names of the iviews we created.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Unable to see an iView in the Portal

Hi All,
I have a scenario, where in I have an iview in a page, the page can be in the workset,this workset has assigned to a role, and this role has been give to a user,now I have a user login to the portal , i am unable to see the iview in the portal, what could be the possible reason?
Regards
Chandra

If U r not getting the Role navigation structure in the portal then make sure that the "Entry point" for the role has been set to True.
If you are getting the Role structure in the portal but not getting the iView then check the iView Property "Invisible in Navigation Area" property set to false.
Next you can check for the iView Permission , if the User has permission for te iView or not.
Hope now u can get the iView in the portal

Error in the Portal Logon par

Hi All
i got the error in the logon par customization i have the followed the steps based on the weblog from the following link
Modifying The Logon Par(or customising the Logon Screen)
after done everything i restarted the portal then i got the following error
 Servlet [prt] will be unavailable for undefined time.

Exception id: [001731424EAC006700000029000013100004346F05987ABE]

please help me on this as early as posible
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
First of all, put back the original par file and restart the portal. If you have the same problem, it has nothing to do with your changes (unless you changed the authschemes.xml as well).
Download the standard logon par file and compare the structure with your par file. Find the problem (create an iview where you can test your component). If it works, you can try again.

NW2004s: Assigning a custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal

The situation is as follows:
Some web-dynpros (for java) have a custom theme, a theme which is not the default theme of the portal or the default theme for web-dynpros in general.
In NW2004 this worked as follows:
When starting a web-dynpro in the portal it checked if it was started with the right theme. If not the exit plug of the WD interface view was called with an Url of the WD application plus a parameter for the right theme.
This is the famous parameter sap-cssurl.
For that parameter there are some values possible:
1) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
2) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
3) sap-cssurl=http://<portal>:<host>/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/mytheme
The first 2 are locations of the portal environment, the last one is a location of the WD runtime environment.
As I noticed this must be a full qualified absolute Url including host and port.
This works in NW2004 for web dynpro's running standalone AND in the portal.
Now for NW2004s:
The 3 variants of the parameter sap-cssurl work for web dynpro's running standalone.
But now for web dynpro's which are integrated in the portal:
The exit-plug with an Url is not possible anymore, this leads to the runtime error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!
Okay, as a first workaround I tried the portal navigation,
but somehow the supplied parameter sap-cssurl has no effect.
The code for that in the on-startup plug of the WD component:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
PCD_ID,
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
null,
null,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
null,
null,
"theme_set=X&" + theme,
 theme,
 false,
 true
I used there absolute portal navigation and the parameter (sap-cssurl=...) is part of the launcher parameter and the business parameter in the call to WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute.
But as I wrote above, this has no effect on the theme.
In the I-View the parameter "Supply portal theme" is set to NO, otherwise the parameter "sap-cssurl" is supplied twice (this can be seen in the poroperties of the web-page in Internet Explorer).
What I tried afterwards was setting the parameter sap-cssurl hardcoded in the "Application parameters" of the I-View. This doesn't work either.
My question is: Should this be anyway possible for a NW2004s portal?
Did anyone successfully implement this?
Kind regards,
 Erich Lind

Hi Erich,
I am facing the same problem. I am on 04 s and couldnot implement the custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal. When I run the web dynpro app as stand alone, the custom theme applies fine. But when in portal, it takes the standard theme.
Was wondering if you figured this out.
Thanks

How to clear the cache in the portal browser

Hello Experts,
Iam unable to clear the cache in the portal. I tried clearing the Navigation cache , PRT cache,PCD cache,Database cache,UME cache.
The senario is in the browser if iam logging with some user X , he should see only 1,2,3 countries, and if i logg off and again logg in the same browser with different user he is seeing same 1,2,3 countries unlike he should see 4,5 countries.
But if iam opening in different browser iam getting the correct one with cache cleared.
I want to acheive this in the same browser.
Qucik help in solving out this cache problem is appreciable.
Regrds,
Manasa.

There is one more important cache: the HTTP Provider Service cache (in VA).
To find out why the browser is showing the same languages, analyze what the server is sending to the browser with HTTPWatch or Firebug and look at the cache flag. Also check what is the iView cache parameter? Is it user, session, shared or none?
How do you do the logoff? The best thing is to make sure that the HTTP Session is killed. If not, the portal may send data that is cached for the HTTP Session to the browser. When you open a new browser, you will also open a new HTTP Session. That could be the cause why it is working with a new browser instance.
