Customized My Room Iview Template in Collaboration

Hello Everybody,
                  I want to customize the My Room Iview in collaboration iviews where i want to remove the Template filter from the iview so that i should get Name and Category filter only. I want the user to filter his /her room on the basis of room and category only.
Kindly provide some helpful tips for achieving this.Looking forward.
Thanks and Regards to all,
Sarabjeet Singh.

Hi Neil / Sarabjeet,
Thanks for the reply.
I believe we are talking about distinct iViews. For your answer, it seems that you're talking about the My Rooms iView derived from RoomDirectory (in which it is a tab). This is the only location i found the parameter you specified, and  the only one where i can show filter boxes. Am I right?
However, i am trying to customize the other My Rooms iView, the one which is a drop-down box showing the rooms in which i participate, also called Room Quick Launch. I couldn't find the same parameter for this iView. Is there any other way?
Thanks in advance

  • Collaboration Room iViews give error -- Database related errors -- Pls Help

    Hello Everyone,
    We are on EP 6.0 SP 17 (Netweaver 2004).
    KMC component was installed separately (Deployed manually).
    We are trying to create simple Collaboration Rooms and we are facing some issues with the same.
    I am following the documentation on SAP Help for the Room Creation:
    Help  SAP Netweaver 2004  People Integration  Collaboration  Administration Guide
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/3d59fdaa5ebb45967ea107d3fa117a/frameset.htm
    We are able to create rooms based on pre-defined templates and we are also able to add members to rooms, send/receive the invitation emails. I am able to work with Instant Messaging also.
    But the problem is that some of the iViews related to Collaboration Rooms are giving errors.
    1.<b> “Discussion” iView gives an error saying “You do not have access permission” (even the user has all the necessary roles assigned).</b>
    Log for this error is as follows:

    Hello Lars,
    First of all thank you for your reply.
    <b>do u use Collaboration first time?</b>
    Yes, we just started using Collaboration and this is our first requirement.
    <b>Which roles do u have?</b>
    I have all the required roles (Super Admin, Content Management, Collaboration, Collaboration Room Creation).
    I know that these features are available in NW04 SP 17 without any limitations. I have reviewed SAP Notes 707730, 711093, 709354 and 946470 also.
    This problem is with only a few Collaboration iViews.
    I am able to create Rooms, Enter Rooms, Receive Invitation e-mails without any problem.
    Any suggestions about any possible missing configurations ?
    Thanks Again,
    Raj

  • Custom xml transformer provider for xml iview template

    I have been trying to get a custom simple xml transformer to work, which will show up in the xml iview template.  I have seen the SAP Help docs and the recent weblogs on the subject.  I can't get this simple transform functionality to work.  I can get as far as registering my own transformer, however I get an error on the page when trying to use it: "Error while using XML iView, please contact your system administrator."  My understanding was all I needed to do was provide a xsl, a transformers.xml file, and a service reference in the portalapp.xml.
    All I really want to do is take some xml docs I created and display them in the portal.  I know that I can write a quick java app to do this myself.  However, I am trying to use the built in functionality of the portal (which it appears no one is using except for RSS feeds).
    I would prefer to have the output be htmlb from my xsl file.  My understanding was that I should create my own xml tranformer provider and then also use the XHTMLB --> HTMLB built in transformer.
    Has anyone been successful in trying to create their own xml transformer for the xml iView?
    I am wasting a lot of time trying to use methods in the SAP Help Docs, is it worth the effort to use the transformer method?
    Eager to award points,
    Sean

    Hi
    I have successfully deployed a transformer by doing the following:
    In PAR, in /dist/xml/XSLLibrary/Transformers, put XSL
    In /dist/xml, put transformers.xml file that describes the XSL
    In portalapp.xml, add registry entry for transformer and service entry for transformer service.
    If you want, you can send transformer PAR and I can look at it ([email protected]).
    There could be something wrong with the XSL; this would be more complicated to diagnose.

  • Reg: Custom Page Layouts and Custom iView Templates

    Dear Gurus,
    Can you please guide me with the Business Scenarios on when will we be creating Custom page layout?
    Any links which helps is creating them.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pramod

    Hi Pramod,
    The only purpose of a page layout is to layout the iviews in a page according to your needs. It could be for WPC or regular portal pages as well. For this I can't think of any other business scenario.
    However, a template in general is like a blue print.
    You can create an iview template, layout template or a page template by setting the property "Is a Template" to YES for any iview, layout or page.
    So, in general:
    If the standard delivered components do not serve our purposes. we create custom components and deploy them onto portal as .par applications.
    Then from the .par deployed onto the portal,
    1. We can directly create an iview (or) create an iview template first and then create iviews using the template.
    2. We can directly create a layout (or) create a layout template first and then create layouts using the template.
    If you create something (iview/page/layout) as a template, then it could be used as a blue print to create similar objects in the future.
    Templates are generally created for ease of use and to maintain standards in the future.
    Thanks,
    Shanti

  • Room content search in Collaboration not working

    Hi,
    I have created one collaboration room, it has documents and discussions. I have configured the indexing for the room. Now i am using the Search Room iview in collaboration for those particular room to search the discussion forum, it is working fine, but problem in searching the documents inside the room which gives result as 'file not found'.
    But i am using Tool Area Search Option for searching the same content,it will display the files.
    I followed the steps to create and configure the index.
    System Administration --> System Configuration --> KM --> Index Administration --> create the index for those rooms.
    I have set Datasource to "room_extension" in the index and "collaboration" folder for discussion search. please let me know if I miss anything.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Prakash.

    Prakash,
      Which template have you used for room creation- SAP std
    or custom ? if custom think you may have to map iview
    parameters properly for the search iview too.
    It needs the following : RoomStructureRid = roomstructure_rid.
    Also cross check the steps with this url

  • Resultset iview template

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the functionality of the MDM Resultset iview template?
    Regards
    V. Suresh Kumar

    Hi,
    Can you tell me on accessing the hierarchical result set. I am facing an issue while accessing it.
    I am trying to use the portal eventing between standard Result Set iView and my Webdynpro form for hierarchy master data from MDM 5.5 SP05 repository. MDM result set diplays the hierarchy data in the fashion as shown
    Customer1
               Name1
               Address1
               Phone1
    When i try to use a custom event on the Result Set to pass these record information to my custom Webdynpro form only the first level data gets transferred .Thus only the Customer1 gets transferred and the Name1,Address1,PhoneNo1 never get transferred to my webdynpro form. Is Portal eventing not possible between Hierachy records in a result set and customised webdynpro form

    Hi Geoff,
    this is probably caused by some internal ASP.NET caches going out of synch (not a WT issue). Try to delete the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory (located in %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727) and restart IIS, and it should help.

  • A method to create completely customized photo book page templates from scratch in Lightroom 5

    I was able to successfully create completely customized Lightroom 5 page templates (including altering the number of, positions, and sizes of pictures) by making edits to the templatePages.lua file(s) in the Lightroom directory tree.  I have never heard of the LUA file format before, but it is ASCII and looks somewhat like XML, so it was fairly easy to decipher.  Here is a high-level description of how I did it.  This applies to Lightroom 5 on Windows 7.  If this doesn't make any sense to you, then don't try it - you're likely in over your head.  Although my description is brief and lacking in detail, it should enable someone who is capable of handling this to figure it out with a little of careful trial and error.  Do this at your own risk - if you screw-up your installation, catalog, or computer, it's your own fault.  It all worked great for me.
    First, open the "<lightroom 5 install directory>\Templates\Layout Templates" folder.  Then navigate to the template set that contains the template you would like to use as a starting point for the new template.  For example, "12x12-blurb\clean12x12".  Make a back-up copy of the templatePages.lua file in case you mess something up and want to revert.
    There will be a bunch of .jpg files in this directory that each contain a preview image of the layout that carries the same name as the .jpg file.  Find the one that you would like to use as a starting point.  Take note of the name of the file, which is probably something similar to "page_26_preview.jpg".   Duplicate the file and rename it to something unique, such as "dummy_preview.jpg".  It's just temporary, so it doesn't matter what name you pick, provided it is a legal file name with no spaces.
    Next, open the templatePages.lua file in a text editor.  I suggest using one that can automatically recognize and format ULA (such as Notepad++, which is open source and free to use).  Then search the file for the unique portion of the file name you took note of earlier, such as "page_26".  It will point you to a section in the LUA file that describes that particular template.  Carefully copy that entire section, including a balanced number of brackets (starting with the two brackets and commas before "children" and ending with the one bracket and comma after the "title" line.  Paste the copied text into the end of the file on a new line immediately following the bracket and comma after the "title" field for the last page template section (right near the end of the file).  Change the "previewName" field to the name of the preview file copy that you created ("dummy_preview.jpg" for me) and the "name" field to the name of the new template you're creating ("dummy" for me, since it is just temporary).  Next change at least one of the hex characters in the "pageID" field such that the new template will have a unique page identifier.
    Now you can make edits to the photo and text fields included in the new section, using other templates in the template file as examples.  "x" and "y" fields are coordinates (in pixels) for the bottom-left corner of the picture or text field, "height" and "width" are the width of the field in pixels.  The fields should be mostly self-explanatory, but make sure that the "photoindex" fields are filled-in starting from 1 to N, where N is the number of pictures in the template, with no duplicates or gaps.  They do not need to be in order.  Treat the "textIndex" fields similarly for text fields.  If you want to add an additional picture or text field, simply copy the section describing a picture or text field from another template and paste it, carefully, into the new template that you are creating.
    Once you are done, save the file (you may get interference from Windows UAC, in which case save the file elsewhere and the move it back to the correct directory).  Then open Lightroom.  Create a new photobook, and choose the new template for one of the pages, remembering that the preview image will look like the JPG that you copied.  Voila!  If you didn't screw anything up, you should see a page based on your new template.  Then right-click the page and select "Save as custom page", which will cause a fresh preview file to be created for your new template and your template to be copied to the "custom pages" section of the template menu.  The new section you added to the "templatePages.lua" and the "dummy" preview file can now be deleted, since they are no longer needed.  I save them so that I may simply overwrite them the next time I need to create a customized template.
    Enjoy, and please share any clarifications, corrections, or enhancements to my process.

    This post was great!  Thank you so much.  But I am hoping you know one more thing related to this.  In the "transform" section of the definition (where the x/y coordinates are set along with height and width) there is an option called "angle".  I was hoping that changing this value would allow me to offset the angle of the picture.  However, if I put any value there other than 0 the template becomes unusable.
    Do you happen to know what this option does?
    I haven't looked into the files, so this is just a guess based on how some graphic applications work. It's common to think of rotating a shape as pivoting around a center point, but It's possible that the file sets a value for the rotation point not at the center. In some graphics applications, you can set a shape's pivot at any corner or in the middle of any side, of the rectangle that contains the whole shape.
    So, your value may be rotating the shape around a pivot that moves the shape into some area that upsets the behavior of other shapes. Just a thought.

    Peter's point is a good one.  I would also assume that the "angle" property allows you to rotate an image, but I haven't tried it myself.  One thing to investigate - are there any page templates included in LR that have image placeholders that are at an angle (I don't recall any, off-hand)?  If so, looking at the associated .lua file could provide insight into how an angled image placeholder should be described.

    Regards
    Bala

    Hi,
    1. Whether Integration kit for SAP should be installed in EP Server also ( which has been installed in BO server for BI and the SSO for BI and EP STRUSTSSO2 also works fine.
    - the portal is acting as the frontend for viewing content and yes there needs to be trust between your portal and your BW system
    2. the connector parameter and the iview template object parameter as correct as per the distributed enviorment.
    When i checked with portal; admin they asked doubt what should be crystal enterprise server ( BO) and the what is the server should connector parameter should have.
    - the Crystal Enterprise parameter do not influence the connector properties and do not lead to the point that the connector settings fail. the Crystal Enterprise parameters are only relevant when viewing SAP BusinessObjects related content.
    Make sure you connector settings work even without the Crystal Enterprise parameters first.

  • How to get the whole list of Iview Templates

    Hi,
    when I navigate:
    Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> Templates -> Iview Templates
    I get a long list of templates including Url Iviews etc
    But, when I try to create my own Iview, the list of potential templates is much smaller, mainly including only the SAP related templates, BSP, Query, ITS etc.
    Does anyone know how to make the full list of Iview Templates available for the Iview creation wizard ?
    Thanks,
    Tomas.

    Hi Tomas,
    which iView templates are offerd within the iView creation wizard is determined by SystemAdmin -- Permissions -- Portal Permissions -- Applications.
    Normally, you will have to have SuperAdminRole to see/change these settings.
    Hope it helps

  • "Error while using XML iview" with XML iview template

    Our portal platform: HP-UX,  WAS 6.40 JAVA, EP 6.0 SP14
    We created an XML iview using XML iview template and configured the XML source URL with RSS feeder addresses such as"https://forums.sdn.sap.com/rss/rssmessages.jsp?forumID=41". And then select RSS to XHTMLB as the XML transformation format and save.  When I try to preview the iview, I always got error "Error while using XML iview, please contact your system administrator".  Here is the log and among which I found an error "java.net.UnknownHostException: news.163.com".  Does this indicate that the Portal server is not able to interpret the address of the URL host?
