Customize Portal Homepage

Hello,
I am working on EP 2.0 SP6 and want to know whether I can customize the portal homepage. If yes, kindly let me know of any sample code/link for the same.
I want to change the look of the Portal homepage(page after user logs into Portal). I want the navigation bar (which appears on left side currently) to appear on top (like second level navigation), etc.
Also read help pages but was not able to find the required data.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu

Hi Ritu,
I not really know, what you meen.
The most of the layout thinks you can change in systemadministration -> portal di. In the theme editor you have to choose a default and make a copy of this. Than you can change what ever you want. After this you will need a display rule, a portal desktop and perhaps a new framework page.
Some other things you can "customize", do this careful, it could be overwritten with updates! For example:
The number of items in the catalog tree you can change in ContentProvidedBySAP->Admin Interfaces -> Admin iView Templates->com.sap.portal.personalizedContentCatalogTree
Also you can change the text format for TreeNodes in display name, display id or both with iView Portal Content Catalog - Portal Content Studio.
The iview Top-Level Navigation can perhaps help you to change the number of levels in the top-level navigation. But I don't think, that you can put the left side navigation completly in the top.
Have a lot of fun with trying this.
I would like to know, if you can solve your problem.
greetings Anke

Changing Portal homepage

How do i create the main portal homepage with a login portlet on it. Actaully, I have created my custom homepage with a login portlet on it, but as soon as i login it does not take me to my default homepage(Set up in the User administration default homepage). I get back to the same portal login page showing me that i have logged on and provides me a logout option.

Vishal,
Customize the page as its owner, Edit Defaults on the Login portlet, set the On Success URL to <SCHEMA_NAME>.home, where <SCHEMA_NAME> is the name of the schema in which Portal is installed (default is PORTAL30).

How can I connect to the portal homepage on a 9i Database

I successfully installed Oracle 9iAS on a MS Windows NT machine
and configured the Portal Server on an Oracle 9i Database on
another machine (Windows 2000).
But when I try to call the portal homepage (portal30.home), I
get the following error: "The preference path does not exist:
Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)".
I can successfully call the .../admin_/gateway.htm page and
connect over there to the database.
The shared_pool_size parameter is large enough (92274688).
I installed the portal server manually, without the GUI, because
the connection to the database during the installation was only
enabled as SYSDBA or SYSOPER.
How can I also get connected to portal homepage?
Thanks,
Reinaldo

can i connect my roku box to the 2nd AE's ethernet port?
Yes
will it make any difference? (as opposed to the roku box, used for netflix, picking up it's signal wirelessly).
Probably not, since the AirPort Express is picking up its signal via wireless.
The same signal just appears at the Ethernet port. If anything, the signal at the Ethernet port will have a bit less bandwidth than the wireless signal since the Express must convert from wireless to Ethernet...and you always lose something in the conversion process.
Normally, you would use the Ethernet port if a device did not have wireless capability.

                                   + "'>launch system</a>");
I want to call the XML value in JSP file as dropdown list and once dropdown selected, user needs to display link of SAP GUI system in table.
Please can you advise which approach will be the best on external and internal portal.
Appreciate on your feedback.
Thanks,

Hi Praveen,
for internal portal, you can create 4 different system object in portal landscape for 4 different systems and then implement sso between portal to those system and use sap transaction iview
for external portal, go with your way.

Http headers showing up on portal homepage for an individual user

We have a user that currently sees what looks to be http header information at the top of his browser when he visits our portal homepage. he is experiencing this in both IE and Firefox.
Is there any sort of setting in portal or application server (i'm posting this in both forums and will post the resolution in both as well) that would cause this behavior for an individual IP address?

i don't know what the cause of this error was but it was fixed by clearing out the pl/sql cache. that is done by removing everything under $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cache on the middle tier.

Customize portal report layout

Is it possible to customize the report layout ?
I don't want a plain table layout.
Can someone tell me where I can find documentation on how to customize portal report layout?
Thank U.

Hi,
You can customize the Report Layout by using
the Custom option in the Report Layout section
while creating the Report.
It allows to write your own HTML code to define the Layout.
The three Layout options which can be used are:

Oracle Portal Homepage Not Found.

Hi,
I've installed Oracle 9i Portal on Windows2000. Login server
& gateway is up, but Portal homepage is not up.It is giving
error (as found in install.log):
ORA-01920: user name 'SCOTT' conflicts with another user or role
name
ORA-04043: object ENAME_TYPE does not exist
ORA-12003: snapshot "SCOTT"."EMP_SNAPSHOT" does not exist
ORA-04043: object GIVE_RAISE does not exist.
Pl. reply.
Thanx in advance,
Tushar

8.1.7 installs scott using System for the default and temporary
tablespace. This can sometimes cause problems. To avoid problems,
do the following for scott user:
a) As system, issue the following commands:
ALTER USER scott
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
b) Log in as scott and move all of scott's objects to the
users tablespace.
For example:
ALTER TABLE tablename
MOVE TABLESPACE users;
I hope this will help.

How can i customize portal's Approval Detail Page?

Hi there,
I wonder how can i customize the portal Approval Detail Page? I got to know tat the package script is wrapped and cannot be unwrapped. So I am thinking to add smth like a link in the page for the mailto function. I was asked to send an email notification to the top management whenever there's smth new added approved.
where can i locate the page? or... where's the script to generate the page? Can someone suggest me?
thank you for your patient wit my question..

In SP3 you can get a DesktopBackingContext, from which you can get the desktop's definitionLabel or title. Perhaps that will work for you?

Customize portal "Help" link based on user roles

Is there a chance to customize the Help link URL in Masthead iView based on user roles? The use case we have is that the "Help" should be different for users of the purchasing company from those of the supplying company.
Thanks.

Hello Jay.
This is a multi step process.
Step 1 : Create 2 desktops with everything as same but different mastheads.
- Copy your existing desktop and paste it in your working folder in PCD (Not select Delta link)
- Now download masthead par file.
- Modify your masthead par file where you will disable help link. Rename you masthead file (newMasthead.par) and export it from NWDS. Now import it in portal.
- open your framework page in desktop2. Just add your new masthead in it. Enable the new one and disable the existing one.
Step 2 : Create 2 groups of users. (First one belong to users who wish to see help link . i.e existing desktop) (Second of thoese users who do not have to see help link i.e. newDesktop)
- Assign users to appropriate groups.
- Assign same roles to both groups.
Step 3 : Modify main rule section in PCD.
- If group = HelpLinkUsers Then Desktop1
If group = NoHelpLinkUsers Then Desktop2.
You may find above process bit tedious and lengthy.
But if you wish to further customize your portal then this will be needed one day.
If you find problems in implementing any step then please search in google or SDN.
Please revert back on any specific question on above approach you may face while implementing.
Thanks

Customize Portal via API

Hi,
is it possible to customize a portal (for example deleting a portlet or changing
layout) using the api? Or is the only way to use the "customize my portal"-link/app?
Bye, Ralph

Just write a sub-class of Handler such as this:
public class JMSHandler extends Handler {
}Look into the JDK source code such as MemoryHandler and StreamHandler on how to implement it.

Customize portal logout page

Hi everybody,
I'm currently trying to customize the logout page of my oracle portal.
Does anybody know how I can do or where I can find any information about the way of doing it ?
Thank you in advance.
Benoit Pironet

On the database where the single sign-on server is installed, log in to the single sign-on schema using SQL*Plus:
ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus orasso/password
See Appendix B to learn how to obtain the password for the single sign-on schema.
Update LOGIN_URL. To replace the sample page with your own page, update the third value in the column. In the following example, single_signoff.jsp is the deployment-specific page.
UPDATE WWSSO_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$
SET LOGIN_URL='UNUSED UNUSED http://server.domain[:port]/single_signoff.jsp';
COMMIT;
To revert to the Oracle page, simply restore the original value:
UPDATE WWSSO_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$
SET LOGIN_URL='UNUSED UNUSED UNUSED';
COMMIT;

Customize Portal Page

If I add a column to a page, then the two columns are even. How can I customize the left column to be only one half of the right column?

Each "column" on a portal page is basically a page region. What you'll need to do is to edit the properties of each page region.
To edit region properties, simply do the following:
1) click on the "customize page" (or for Portal 3.0.9, "edit page") link for your portal page.
2)When the page layout appears, click on the little "pencil" icon within each columnar page region, and a popup window will appear.
3) In the popup window, change the percentage of table width to say "25"% for the narrow column. Save your changes.
4) For the wider columnar region, change the percentage to 75%, for example.
Be aware that due to the nature of HTML and HTML tables, these properties will work best when you have images and content that are small enough to resize down to your narrowest column width.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Harry

My ISP allows me to customize my homepage which I can no longer do after downloading the latest version of Firefox.

Mytelus.com I can customize the various modules on the home page but the changes are lost as soon as I leave the home page. This happened exactly at the same time as I upgraded to 3.6.12 today.
