Detailed Navigation is closed by default

Hi,
The Portal with all packages is running fine in test system.
The first Page (welcome) is displaying some KM-News in the content section and has some links in the detailed navigation (DTN).
Then, I exported the ivies/pcd with all roles etc. to the production system.
Now, whatever value I put in "Initial Display" in the roles (Automatic/Open), the first time, the user logs on, the DTN is completely close. If if reload the page, everything is fine and the DTN is open.
I also checked the default framework page, but it is set to "OPEN" as well.
No clue no more.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
did you modified the TLN display level and detailed navigation display from level options?
it looks the problem caused by this.

Portal - Details Navigation - stated closed

Is it possible to set the detailed navigation pane on the Portal Left Hand side to "closed" for the whole portal without individually modifying each individual page/iView.
All the post I have seen so far only talk about setting the "initial state = closed" at page or iView level.
If you have a portal with many pages, this is not practical.
Thanks for any advise or hints.

Hello Minesh,
    1.      In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Content ® Portal Users ® Standard Portal Users.
       2.      Right-click Default Framework Page and choose Open® Object to display the page in the Page Editor.
       3.      From the Page Content List, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
       4.      From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Detailed Navigation iView (com.sap.portal.detailedNavigationTree) and click Properties.
       5.      In the displayed Property Editor, check, set, and change the properties of the Detailed Navigation iView, as necessary.
       6.      Save your changes.

Hai,
The property which u say, shows the detailed navigation as closed when a user logs into portal.
In our system, when a user login into portal. The detailed navigation is opened and all the items in the detailed navigation are shown, this functionality my user require. When he/she click on the program or item in the detailed navigation. That program is opened in the content area. When a program is opend in content area, detailed navigation is still open. My user wants, detailed navigation should be closed automatically when a item or program in detailed navigation is opened in content area.

Detailed Navigation in the room NOT working

When I compose a template and create a room based on that template I can see all the pages on the room along with their detailed navigation bar on the right of every page except one page in the room. I double checked my mapping of that page and compare it with a standard template the entire mapping are correct. So, what could be the problempls advice

Hi Demorgan
If the 'initial state' of the detailed navigation iview in the framework you are using is closed, then detailed navigation remains closed if it is not having any contents. I think you tried by giving this property as open.Also check whether the entry points are set right(yes) for the contents in the corresponding tab.

Trees in Detailed Navigation - initial application

Hi,
I am using a tree in the left "detailed Navigation" panel.
The default behaviour of the EP is as follows:
1) If the user clicks on the folder ICON, the folder tree opens and shows the application. Yuu can select one of the applications, that will start in the body window.
2) If the user clicks on the folder NAME, the folder tree opens and the first application is immediately shown in the body window
How can I suppress, that the first application is shown in the body window? It means, that the user should always select an application before anything is shown in the body window?
thanks

Hi,
There is a property called "Default Entry for Folder" and it's located under "Navigation" category in the Property Editor.
The property has 2 options that can be selected by marking a radio button: "Yes" or "No".
If the property was set to "Yes" for a specific object under a folder (e.g. page,iView,etc) it means that when
its folder is launched - this iView or Page will be displayed by default in the content area.
The default value for all objects is "No".
When there are multiple 'True' objects, the first one in the role structure is the default entry.
Hope it's help.
Best regards,
Shimon.

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.

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.

How can you set the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView'?

Hello,
we would like to reduce the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView' in order to save some screen space.
So far, we havn't found the right item in the portal admin to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Frank Schülke, E.ON Ruhrgas, Germany

Hi Frank,
You can change the width of this navigation iview by changing the value of "defaultExpWidth" in the file WAandNAVPanel.js present in the par file com.sap.layouts.framework.par from default value 220 pixels to the value you want.
upload the changed par file and restart the server.
Hope this helps,
(if not do get back )

How to make Detailed Navigation Window by default open?

Hi,
Is there any way to set the Detailed Navigation Window by default to open?
I have gone through different posts but I could not get a clear way to do this.If some body can hint me I would be very much thankful.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Hi,
do you mean the navigation panel on the left side? If so find the frameworkpage you are using. Open, goto InnerDesktop. Select properties for this page. Here find a property "Initial state of navigation panel" - set to open.
Hope this helps,

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
Edited by: PortalUser100 on Jan 22, 2011 10:15 AM

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.

Default Detailed navigation and Portal Favorites naming and sections

Hi,
I want to manipulate the 'Detailed Navigation' and 'Portal Favorites' on left side menu of my manuscreen. I want to rename them and manipulate to add my own iViews fixed iViews under the Portal Fvorites.
Now, I do find the Portal favorites default iView under ortal menu Content provided by SAP - end user content - Standard Portal Roles, but it is an iView, and I can't add iViews to an iView.
I don't find the default Detailed Navigation iView nor page.

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.

User selecting default display page from detailed navigation

Hello all,
Can individual users select a default display page from the detailed navigation section? For instance, say I have a list of pages in the detailed navigation each showing a BW report;
Detailed Navigation
Report 1
Report 2
Report 3
Report 4
So when the users navigate from the top level to here then 'Report 1' is automatically displayed. Say that towards the end of the quarter userX will be looking at 'Report 3' mostly while userY will wish to concentrate on 'Report 2', can the users themselves set their default? Or must this be done by the portal admin, rearranging the order of these pages in the assigned role or changing the display priority of them? But then it wouldn't be per user, if they shared the role.
If the users cannot do this themselves is there a way to do it in Java perhaps?
Thanks for you time,
Patrick.

Hi Detlev,
We decided on an easy way through.
Each page has to display a BW report, very simple. So we're going to give the users an iView where they get a list of all BW reports that they have access to (read from a text file). From there they select what they wish to be their default report (written to another text file).
The default page (first on detailed navigation) reads the text file and displays the BW report found there in an IsolatedHtmlContainer. Not precisely what was wanted at the start but pretty much offers the same functionality.
Thanks for your help, I'll read the doc. It's always good to know these things.
Patrick.

Default page in Detailed navigation

Hello,
i have a problem.
The scenario is: In detailed Navigation i have a number of pages that are showed as merge of different WorkSets.
The Merge ID and the sort ID are set but the first page opened is not the first of the list...
Thanks for any helps and suggestions
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I think you should not use the merge id, but the sort priority to accomplish that (like Noel suggested). That's exactly what we do in our portal.
We have several roles each of which as the same merge-id for "link 2" and contains one of the "page 1", "page 2", ... (these pages do not have a merge id, but only different sort priorities)
The same merge ID on the "link 2" level makes sure that everything appears under "link 2" and now the sort priority (set at the "page 1", "page 2", ... level) determines which page is displayed where. In our scenario the most top page is always activated.
If this doesn't help you: if you click on "link 2" and "page 4" is displayed, is "page 4" the top most entry or is the sort order really
page 1
page 2
page 3
page 4
page 5
and still page 4 is displayed? If so, I think there is an option to set if an entry should be opened or not -- but I am not sure about this.
Regards,
Holger.
