Detailed Navigation collapsed/expanded

Hi everyone,
For SAP EP 7.3 is it possible to configure (without development) that Detail Navigation appears initially collapsed when clicking any workset second level option? And once any option be selected inside the page this Detailed Navigation section be expanded again?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
There is a property called "Initial State of Navigation Panel" and the options available for this property are Open, Close, Automatic and Always Close. This property is available for Role/Workset/Page?iView. Please work on this property to get the required result.
Regards,
Nagireddy.

Detailed Navigation (disable expand./collapse icons opening tree

Hi,
I would like to adjust the detailed navigation as this site performs with having no action when clicking the +/- icons.
Please can someone point me in the right direction. I have been able to get the detailed navigation.par file out and look at the jsp code, but not sure where this requires a change.
Will reward points for a helpful answer....
Kai

If I am reading your question correctly, you want to create a detailed navigation similar to SDN so that when you click on the expand/collapse icon it doesn't do a server round trip.
Firstly I believe that the standard one performs a round trip to retrieve the nodes underneath the one that you have expanded.
With SDN we created our own detailed navigation iview so that the entire navigation structure is loaded immediately. This is also the same if you use the standard light navigation iview I believe, so you could simply use this iview instead.
I hope this helps

Expanding WPC detailed navigation nodes

I'd very much like for our Web page composer navigation nodes in the detailed navigation to expand on load. Preferably I would like to have the option to expand all nodes.
For me it doesn't even seem to work to use the new functionality of the detailed navigation iview where you can set the first node to expand on load. This works if the first node is a work set but not if it's a folder pointing to a WPC navigation structure.
Any tips?
Regards
Henning Strand

Jagadeesh,
the detailed navigation (and everything that belongs to the framework page) is under responsibility of the Portal. The Web Page Composer tool is just managing the pages not how they are shown in the Portal environment. Therefore WPC should not be blamed for lack of this specific functionality.
What you want can be achieved by means of some custom code in the framework. You could create your own detailed navigation iview which following some logic determines which pages need navigation tree shown and which not. Writing such an iview is not trivial effort you may also try to insert some logic (iview) in the framework page which removes the detail navigation iview from the POM tree but I am not really sure if that will work or not.
Hope this gives some more light.
Best,

Expand all folders in the detailed navigation by default on click of Role

Hi All,
I have a requirement on expand all the folders in the detailed navigation by defalut when we click a Role in the Fist level navigation.
Please have a look about our requirement as mentioned below.
->Role1(First Level Navigation)
   ->Wokset1(Second Level)
       -> Folder1(Detailed Navigation entry Folder)
              -> Folder2
                   Page1
                   Page2
              ->Folder3
                   Page3
                   Page4
              -> Folder4
                   Page5
                   Page6
When the user clicks on Role1 then automatically all the folders in the detailed navigation should be expanded by default then user could see all the pages displayed in all folders. currently the functionality is collapsed all the folders by default in the detailed navigation then user has to expand the folders manually.
Regading this issue, i had seen couple of threads on the same but getting confusion what is the exact solution for the solution.
in those existing threads some people has mentioned that need to change code in the lightdetailnavigation.par or some other mentioned that it is not worked out even do the required changes in the code of light detail navigation part file. there is no clarity in the existing threads for getting the exact solution . please let me know what are the properties needs to be changed at folder level or workset level to make sure all the folders should be expanded by default in the detailed navigation??
Currently we are using portal 7.0 version.
Any pointers in this regard would be the great help to us??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
PortalUser

Hi,
To expand all the folder by default, we need to set the property of the detailed navigation tree.
Open your framework page in the content administration.
Check on the detailed navigation check box and click on the properties button.
In the properties, set the value of initial state= OPEN .
This will expand all the folders by default.
Hope you understood.

Detailed Navigation expand node

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to open by default the first node in my Detailed Navigation. I have come very close using the following code which I placed in an iView:
response.write("<SCRIPT>");
response.write("var all = window.DetailedNavigationTree.getNodes();n" +
 "dynamicLoad(all[0]);");
response.write("</SCRIPT>");
This causes the node to be open when you first click in the TLN.
I can close the node by clicking either on the text or on the down arrow next to the node. Now, if I click on the arrow again, the node opens fine, BUT when I click on the text again the node does not reload.
Anyone have any ideas why or how to work around this problem?
I've been looking at detailedNavTree.js, dynamicTree.js and dynamicLoad.js .
Any help would be appreciated a lot!
Thank you,
Regards,
Ale

Everyone,
I have found the solution. The issue was that when we clicked on the text in the detailed nav, the whole page would refresh. This would cause the menu to expand but then the iView with the dynamicLoad() was called again and automatically collapsed the menu again!
So i added a boolean in the class which makes the dynamicLoad() execute only the first time the iView is loaded.
 private boolean mDone = false;
 public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
 if(!mDone) {
 response.write("<SCRIPT>");
 response.write("var all = window.DetailedNavigationTree.getNodes();n" +
 "dynamicLoad(all[0]);");
 response.write("</SCRIPT>");
 mDone = true;
Hope this helps!

Expand folders in Detail Navigation by default

Has anyone figured out a way to have the folders in details navigation expanded by default the first time the user clicks on the tab?
I tried this:
Expand all folders in the detailed navigation by default on click of Role
But it didn't work for me. I have seen other claims that it can be set desktop wide, but no solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Clark

Prathamesh,
First of all thanks so much for your suggestion. It would have worked perfectly if I was using the lightweight version of the detail navigation. But is did lead me to download the code for the detail navigation tree par file and I found some interesting things.
First of all this should work by changing a parameter on the iview according to the code I found. See the code below (particularly the set state line).
    private void openFolder(IPortalComponentRequest request, HashMap dropJScriptsMap, ITree tree, INavigationNode node, ITreeNode treeNode)
        if(treeNode == null)
            return;
        IPortalComponentContext componentContext = request.getComponentContext();
        IPortalComponentProfile profile = componentContext.getProfile();
        Boolean leafNode = null;
        try
            leafNode = (Boolean)node.getAttributeValue("com.sap.portal.navigation.IsLeaf");
            if(leafNode == null)
                leafNode = Boolean.FALSE;
        catch(NoSuchAttributeException ex)
            leafNode = Boolean.FALSE;
        String openFolder = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree.openfolder");
        if(openFolder.equals("true") && leafNode != Boolean.TRUE)
            treeNode.setState("o");
            addNavNodeChildrenToTree(request, tree, node, dropJScriptsMap, true);
But it only looks to work if the folder is at the top level. Otherwise it rights children as closed. See the line for setState in method addNavigationNodesToTree.
            if(newNode.getVisualizationType() == 2)
                if(parentNode != null)
                    treeNode = tree.addNode(nodeName, title, "F", parentNode);
                else
                    treeNode = tree.addRoot(nodeName, title, "F");
                treeNode.setState("c");
                treeNode.setFolderOpenImage(mm_folderImageUrl);
                treeNode.setFolderCloseImage(mm_folderImageUrl);
            } else
So I really have 2 options. I can redeploy new code with the line just above changed (I didn't plan on modifying the SAP delivered), or I can move my nodes up to a higher level and change the parameters on the iview.
I hope others might find this useful and perhaps SAP will adopt another iview parameter in the future to completely allow for this as it seems pretty trivial.
Thanks again.

By default collapse all folders in Detailed Navigation

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to collapse folders which are build in this manner:
Role 1
.. Folder 1
.... Page a
.... Page b
.... Page c
.. Folder 2
.... Page d
.... Page e
.... Page f
.. Folder 3
.... Page x
.... Page y
.... Page z
ect...
I am working with EP6sp14, especially to run the External Facing Portal.
Thanks helping me and my customer..

Hi Leurs
Ur req is very much possible
What u need 2 do is make ur
1)toplevel navigation level to 0
2)detailed level navigation display level property to 1.
I will explain each step
1) I. Configure Top-Level Navigation
 1.In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Users-> Standard Portal Users. This folder contains the Default Framework Page.
 2.Right-click Default Framework Page and choose Open->Object.
 3.From the Page Content List select the Top-Level Navigation iView and click Properties.
 4.Scroll to the Number of Display Levelsproperty and enter the value 0, 1, or 2, depending on how many navigation levels, if any, you want for top-level navigation.
 Choosing 0 removes your top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView.
 5.Click Save.
2 Configure Detailed Navigation
1.From the Page Content List of the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
2.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage select the Detailed Navigation iView and click Properties.
3.Scroll to the Start at Level property and assign a value that is one higher than the value of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure l. Configure Top-Level Navigation. For example, if top-level navigation is configured for one level, the detailed navigation begins on the second level, that is with the value 2.
4.Click Save.
 Detailed navigation is not automatically synchronized with top-level navigation; the values you enter for top-level and detailed navigation must agree. For example, if you enter the value 1 for top-level navigation, while detailed navigation still has the value 3, one level is left out, creating a gap.
III. Configure the Content Area
 1.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Content Area iView and click Properties.
 2.Scroll to the Number of Display Levels in TLN property and enter the same value as that of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure I. Configure Top-Level Navigation.
 3.Click Save.
These steps will make ur Portal the way u want, i guess.

Disable "collapse/expand navigation panel"

Hello,
I would like to hide the arrow symbolizing the collapse/expand navigation panel functionallity and the arrows to resize the navigation panel... Is this possible? If yes, does anybody know how I can realize that?

Changing the Look of Detail Navigation area....

Hi all,
I would like to know,about how we can achieve the same look n feel of Detailed Navigation that we see in the SDN page.
To be specific, for the Detail Navigation area we have a bar with arrows at two ends, one, to increase the size(width) of Detialed navigation area and other to collapse the DN Area.
Here in the SDN page we can see just a white arrow to collapse the DN area ( without the two arrow sign to increase/decrease the width of DN area).
I have tried with some of the options from the Them Editor of Portal Display but was unable to get the same.
What customization needs to be done to achieve this feature in our EP.
Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Regards,
NR

Hi
To achieve this in SDN we have created our own desktop, which includes our own iviews for each of the different areas. Therefore we entirely use the functionality of the EFP (Externally Facing Portal) and essentially the portal light framework.
However, you should be able to create a something without going to all of this effort. The bit of HTML that is generated for the expand/collapse icons is done in the com.sap.portal.layouts.framework component in the WAandNavPanel.jsp (for the full portal) and light_WAandNavPanel.jsp for the light portal. You could therefore create your own layout page (based on this standard) and simply remove the HTML.
Once you have then deployed your custom component, you need to create a page template from this, using your new custom_WAandNavPanel. Create a new desktop (or change the standard one), and replace the standard framework page with your customer framework page.
Let me know if you need more information about this and I can try and help as much as possible. There are various other threads that include how to customise the desktop, etc.
I hope this helps

Detailed Navigation doesn't show

J2ee_admin can see detailed navigation, but another user can't,
need any roles?

Hi,
No. That appears by default. If it doesn't appear, check for the following.
1) Check if it has been collapsed by someone. Click on the small arrow on the left of the framework page and check if it expands.
2) If not, check if some custom desktop has been assigned to all the other users. For this, check the master rule collection under System Admin -> Portal Display -> Desktops and Display rules -> Portal Content -> Portal Administrators -> Super Admin -> main_rules. Check which desktop is assigned.

Hi Rajendra,Stephan
Please check the naviagtion properties for the IView.
The radio button agaist the property "Invisible in Navigation area"should be selected to No.
Or just make sure all the navigation properties for IView are correct.
Hope this helps

Can you default a detailed navigation folder to an "open" state?

We have a workset containing iViews, and the detailed navigation on the left displays the iViews within a folder as we would like. However, the folder defaults to being closed, thus making the user click twice to arrive at an iView inside. Is there a way to default that folder to being open?

Hi Kris,
Its is not possible to have a folder expanded by default when you have all other parallel folders are closed.
Either you can expand only the root folder on DLN or expand all the folders. Expanding all the folder option would need DLN .par customization.
Set the below settings to open launched folder:
Go to Your current Framework Page -> Desktop inner page -> Open Detailed Navigation iView and set the property -> Open Folder when Launched as yes.
Initial State of Navigation Panel option shall expand/close the entire DLN.

Fodler in detailed navigation wont open

Hey people!
I having some problems with folder in detailed navigation. The problem is that the folder wont expand. I have tested it on several computers, and i am only experince this problem on one computer. That means that its not a issue inside the portal, but with the browser, or some local security issue. All the computers are/should using the same security settings. Do you got any tips what could be wrong?
The computer it fails on, have earlier had IE 7.0 installed, but this is now removed and IE 6.0 is installed. So it could be some IE leftovers.

Kirstoffer,
I would check the registry under Microsoft Software registry entries. There is a diagnotic tool or you could check the following manually.
HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Tree in Detailed Navigation - open all sub trees

Hi,
by default, the detailked navigation tree is closed.
How can I make, that, by default, all detailed navigation view trees in the detailed navigation panel are open, i.e. expanded, when ou select a menu item?
thanks
hs

Hi,
I am not I understood the question, but however, I'll try...
There is a property called "Initial State of Navigation Panel" it's located under "Navigation" category in the Property Editor. This property Determines the initial display state of the navigation panel when the current object is selected in the navigation hierarchy at run time. 'Automatic' opens the navigation panel only when it contains items to display, otherwise it will be closed. Choose 'Open' or 'Closed' to force the initial display state.
Hope it's help.
Best regards,
Shimon.
