Customising Webcenter Spaces Page Templates - "Import Portal Resource" N/A

Hi,
I am attempting to customise a Page Template for Webcenter Spaces, and I am trying to do so in JDeveloper.
I have successfully opened the WebCenterSpacesResources project in JDeveloper, and also successfully downloaded the page template resource (.ear file).
I am now trying to import this webcenter spaces resource (page template) into the project, as described in this step:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_wcsres.htm#CIHJFGJI
The problem is, the "*Import Portal Resource*" option does not appear in the menu when I right-click on WebCenterSpacesResources project.
I am using JDeveloper version 11.1.1.5.0.
I have also downloaded and installed WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time extension.
Any reason why I cannot see this option?
Amanda.

Hi,
I have installed both of the extensions, but I went to:
http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml#oracle.webcenter.cust
and dowloaded both (latest):
WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time
WebCenter Customization Framework Design Time
and then installed them manually in my JDeveloper.
I have restarted and the option still does not appear:

How do I know that the extensions are installed? They seem to be when I look at the Help > About > Extensions
http://oi51.tinypic.com/244xylh.jpg
I have tried this with versions 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.4.

Passing session parameter to a portlet from webcenter spaces page

How do you pass a parameter to a portlet on a WebCenter Spaces page? For example, I have the user's company ID in the session, I need to pass that company ID to the portlet defined to accept a company ID parameter so that the returned data can be filtered.

You can for example add the companyID to the url of the page and then pass that parameter to the parameter of your portlet.
Have you created your portlet to enable inter portlet communication? You should first do that and create a navigation-parameter in the oracle.xml. If you don't know what i'm talking about, i'll explain a bit more.
Their is another way, which is easier i think, is to set the value of your portlet parameter to an expression language refering to a session variabel.
In you portlet parameter set the companyId (if you have created a navigation-parameter companyID) to following value:
#{sessionScope.company}You will have to set the value of that session variable from within your webcenter spaces.
How are you doing that? Are you planning on setting that variable using another portlet, taskflow,... This can be very important on how webcenter reactt on parameters and it can also give you additional ways on passing the parameters.

Force Webcenter Spaces Page to Refresh on focus

Hi all,
We are on WebCenter Spaces PS5. We have a page inside spaces which we want to refresh on focus. We have a document upload portlet on a page which is used to upload a document and then display the list of documents in a result table on that page.
PROBLEM: We have to manual refresh the page for the newly uploaded document to be displayed on the resultable on the page.
QUESTION: How can we force the page to refresh on focus?
Remember this is a webcenter spaces page.
Thank you....

You can invoke serverlistener from onFocus client event,
Pass the control to the backend and use the following code to refresh.
HttpServletRequest request=(HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect( request.getRequestURL());

Unable to import space templates in webcenter spaces using default import

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in importing space template in webcenter spaces.The steps i followed were:
1. Logged into webcenter spaces and in space templates,I selected one template.
2. Then I clicked on 'Export' button and template exported successfully on my local machine.
3. It was in .ear format so I changed it to .rar and extracted it.
4.Then I got .mar and I changed extension again to .rar.
5. In the folder I went to \webcenter_1298368482200\transport\oracle\webcenter\page\scopedMD\sd6290014_14b6_41a1_8ac1_f84d239ebe53\spacetemplate\DiscussionSiteHome.jspx.
6. I made certain changes in that .jspx file.
7. then I saved those changes and again changed extension .mar and .ear.
8. After that I went to webcenter spaces.I selected the template from the list of templates in spaces and clicked on 'Import' button .
9. It asked for path and I gave the path of .ear
10. It imported successfully but the changes were not reflected in the template in webcenter spaces.
Pls help me out as it is very urgent.

Default Page Template for Portal Page Group

Release 2 of Portal (9.0.2.2.22)
Created a page group and several templates.
Edit Page Group Properties, Configure, locate the Default Page Template drop list.
The drop list has only the templates from the shared object page group.
The online help states
=======
Choose the page template to apply to new pages in this page group if the page designer does not explicitly choose one.
Note: This list includes all the page templates in this page group and the shared objects page group.
========
I have several templates in this page group. Why don't they show in this drop list?

You have to make the templates public. Edit the template properties - on the Main tab click "Make Public".

Content not displayed on webcenter spaces page tiIl I login to UCM server.

Hi Yannick,
I have created an html file which loads the flash file and checked in to the UCM server. I have added a content presenter on the page runtime and selected the html file as the content.
Now when I load the page, I couldnot see the content. The content gets displayed on the page once I login to the UCM server and refresh the webcenter page.
Please suggest the solution. I am working with Avitek Demo VM. I have stored the file in the public_images folder.
Thanks,

You need to assign application (spaces) role "Administrator" to your user for Admin link to see (by default weblogic user is assigned to this role)
To add it
Login to Fusion Middleware Control -> WebCenter -> WebCenter Spaces -> Right Click on WebCenter -> Security -> Application Role
Add your user to role “Administrator”

How do I stretch content Vertically in a WebCenter Spaces page?

I have a box at the bottom of my page with a document explorer inside. I need to have it stretch as the page stretches vertically. Can anybody help?
Thanks

the bottom of the doc explorer is a fixed distance from the top of the page. When the browser is resized vertically from the bottom, they want the bottom of the doc explorer to stay anchored to the bottom of the page and stretch as the page grows vertically. Yes it is kind of strange but the customer insists on this behavior.
Any ideas?

Need Documentation for WebCenter Spaces "security" ?bean?

Hi, in many of the Webcenter Spaces Page templates and taskflows, I see in the .jspx and .jsff code, EL expressions that have "security.authenticated" and "security.configureSpaceAllowed". I have seen other methods but I am not listing them. I am working on a contract for a customer who wants me to customize some Spaces task flows based on whether or not the user can edit documents. Does anybody have any documentation on this bean or datacontrol so that I can determine if I can use it for the customer's Spaces app? Is there any other way to do this? I need to turn off the "Edit" button in the Wiki document task flow (via the rendered attribute) if the user does not have Edit permissions.
Thanks,
Gary Kind

from your query, what I understood that -
you basically want to toggle the edit button of document taskflow for wiki-use.
In my opinion,you are maintaining all the users in couple of groups or roles.
while customizing the document taskflow - you need to customize the edit button properties.
in edit button's rendered attribute -give a value of #{WCSecurityContext.userInAppRole['role']} or #{WCSecurityContext.userInGroup['group']} .From the two option,select the best one which meets your requirement.

Hoque

Extending WebCenter Spaces 11.1.1.3: Creating New Page - IGNORE DUPLICATE

Hi all,
I am attempting to create a new group space page template for Spaces that has a floating div on the right side that will have content wrap around it. It should look similar in concept to the image in this link:

Do you have a reference in your page binding to the template?
Read following article: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/5711/the-adf-11g-area-template-for-micro-level-layout-design-patterns
Specialy the note:
>
Note: the page template can have an associated page definition with data bindings. If that is the case, the template’s binding container is initialized and refrehsed along with the binding container for the page itself. The page’s page definition will have a <page path="reference to template’s page definition" > element in its executables section. This makes all the bindings in the template available in every page that uses the template. This in turn makes it easy to create a generic or at least reusable set of data bindings and attach it to many pages.

Adding WorkFlow to Spaces Pages

Has anyone added workflows/Approval to WebCenter Spaces Page content, I am not talking about the WebCenter Content workflow/approvals but adding a workflow/approval to a page that has had text image or link changes.
We are looking to do in WebCenter Spaces the same functionality that 10G Portal middleware has. In 10g Portal we can set an approval process for any changes that occur on a page. We are being told the only way to do this in Spaces is to import a HTML page from WebCenter Content but doing this we will lose all the functionality of editing that Spaces provides. Additionally our users that update pages are not HTML programmer and need a wysiwyg interface.
I am really shocked that ORACLE would remove this functionality from a new product, but has anyone set up a workflow/approval for WebCenter space page changes? Or is the functionality there, but I talking to the wrong people.

I'm glad you could buy the WCC story. To your questions:
1) The pop editor window is very small, you can resize it but we want to be able to set the with of the popup when it opens, so it dispaly the edit to the same width as the page they are editing.That's an interesting question. Out of my head I'm not aware if there is a parameter to set it up. It might be worth asking in the WCC forum as a separate question (not sure how many people from there monitor also this forum).
2) We want to create a button or link for a user to click to get into the contributor mode instead of using the hot keys, Ctrl-Shift-CThis is definitely possible. Ctrl-Shift-C calls (via a javascript) a service which changes the page's mode to Contribution mode. Note that there is also the third mode - Designer's. I'd suggest to get a tutorial for Site Studio (not Site Studio for External Apps) as it will certainly demonstrate how this can be achieved.
3) We want to modify the style for the editor to match the style for the page, so the uses see exactly what the page will look like as the edit in the editor.Similar to #1 - maybe a separate question would be worth in WCC.
4) We are till looking into the Workflow and the Notification on approvals and how it will work but we are having problems with the email notifications and seeing if the notification can show up in the activity/notifications in Spaces.If I got the point you'd like to see email notifications in what? (Lists? Activities?) in Spaces. I'm afraid OOTB WCC native workflows create just an email, and you'd need to customize your system so that the email is transferred to, for instance, a list item. Alternatively, you could use BPEL rather than WCC native workflows (WCC can hand over workflows like that). BPEL could be, then, integrated with WebCenter Portal. But, yes, it looks complicated.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to be able to select content type when creating a wiki page to a Wiki Page library. In browser ,you cannot add content types to a wiki page library .You need to edit the library in SharePoint Designer.
Open the site in SharePoint Designer.
Click on the library. Check ‘Allow management of content types’ in the Settings section.
Then you can add content types to this page library.
Then you can add content types in the Site Content Types gallery which inherit from the Wiki Content type.
Add the newly added content type to the Wiki Page Library.
In this way ,when you add a new page in the Wiki Page library ,you can choose a different content type .
Edit the content type in Library Settings .Choose Advanced Settings for the content type .Here you can upload new page for the content type .
Thanks,

Puzzled by Default Page Template value

I am looking at the 11.1.1.4 Spaces VM trying to understand how the product works.
On the Configuration tab of the Administration page, in the Resources section, the Default Page Template value is "gsr15fd08a7_5f0f_4f6e_9150_2a7eb8b5fb7a". When I look at the GUID values for each of the Page Templates available as Resources, none match.
questions:
where can I find the "gsr15fd08a7_5f0f_4f6e_9150_2a7eb8b5fb7a" Page Template?
is there a general way to find a resource given a GUID?
Thanks

Problem with af:resource in Page Template of Custom WebCenter Portal

According to the WebCenter Developers Guide in a bullet point just before section 11.2.4, I am supposed to be able to use a af:resource tag to include a custom css or js file within my page template. I am trying to do exactly that with a custom css and jquery js file that I have put into the shared folder of my custom portal implementation of JDeveloper. However, whenever I deploy my project and bring up a page using this page template, Firebug shows that it cannot find the file specified.
I try going directly to the files and get a 404.
I then check the security policy of the files and they are showing as having the default security policy, so I am not completely sure why this is not working.
The user that I am logging in as is part of a custom role, but I didn't think that that would have anything to do with files that are stored in the shared folder.
I did also make sure to Create Portal resources out of each file, but that didn't help either.
Any thoughts?

I created fair amount of portal with custom javascript and css and I didn't seem to find any of that...
What WebCenter Portal version do you use?

WebCenter Spaces: Customise Resource Bundles?

Does anyone know if and how the webcenter spaces resource bundles may be customised or overridden?
I need to rename the "My Group Spaces" tab to a custom name. I see that the label is obtained (within webcenter java code) from a resource bundle "oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle".
Thanks in advance,
Bijesh

Read this white paper: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/owcs-r11-extend-spaces-wp-132596.pdf
Page 42: Renaming the personal space tab.
The paper should also explain how to create your own resource bundle.

Customising a Login page for Webcenter spaces

Hi,
I'm trying to add in a "Remember Me" function to Webcenter Spaces (out of the box), and I'm wonding how this can be done. I'd like to check if its possible to create a custom page/portlet or modify the existing page for this to be done.

Based on what mechanism you want to use for implementing "remember me" functionality, you also may consider utilizing the ability to 'edit the login page' (not the one that has a login portlet) by logging in as a webcenter administration into spaces application and going to 'webcenter administration'>general>edit login page (in the bottom)
thanks
