Displaying Help Button \ Icon in Fiori Launchpad

Hello experts,
I have read that it is possible to display contextual help for different Fiori applications in the Fiori Launchpad header.
Question: Where do you define the Help URL that enables the Help button\Icon in Fiori Launchpad Header area?
thank you.
Rob.

Hello Masa,
I have a quick question.
As mentioned in the Adding and Removing Custom Items to the Options Menu - User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver - SAP Library,
the following lines of codes needs to be added to create custom Buttons in the Fiorilaunchpad menu.
<SCRIPT language ="JavaScript">
var button1 = new sap.m.Button();
var rendererExt = sap.ushell.renderers.fiori2.RendererExtensions;
rendererExt.addOptionsActionSheetButton(button1,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Home,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Catalog,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.App);
rendererExt.removeOptionsActionSheetButton(button1,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Home,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Catalog,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.App);
<SCRIPT>
Can you please tell, where these lines of code need to be added ?
should one directly modify FioriLaunchpad.html ?
Regards,
Anil

Problems to add title icon on fiori launchpad tiles page

Hi Experts,
I am able to add page title for login page but after login i am not getting that icon, The sap standard one is coming. Please check the screen .
Again i am saying for login page the page title icon is coming properly. But its not coming for home page.
Regards
Binod Kumar

Hi Binod Kumar,
The Login page for Fiori is configured separately from the Launchpad. Configuring Login Screen for Launchpad Designer - User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver - SAP Library makes it pretty clear that the Login page is a customized standard ABAP Login.
As I am not entirely sure what you mean by page title icon, I would direct you to look further down the page I linked here for you at the Extending the Launchpad and UI Theme Designer. Probably Theme Designer is what you need.
I would also direct you to the All Things SAP Fiori which is the Fiori Landing Page with links to most Fiori related content. A search using a custom Google Search will probably get you other Discussions in the SAP for Mobile community where most Fiori content resides.

Hi everyone. I am trying to download ML on my iMac and when I click the download button, I am asked for my PW which I provide and then the ML icon launches in launchpad but nothing takes place. Have been trying for 2 days and this is driving me nuts. Help

Hi everyone. I am trying to download ML on my iMac and when I click the download button, I am asked for my PW which I provide and then the ML icon launches in launchpad but nothing takes place. Have been trying for 2 days and this is driving me nuts. Help

Yes it does and there is an indication that the software is downloading but after a few hours, it just stops without any error message. Everything simply disappears and I need to start over again. I have a superfast connection so it should no be this slow. Everything worked fine on my MBP and I am in the same place. Any ideas

How to display a button with an icon?

Hi,
I'd like to display an SAP-icon on a button.
In this thread How can I show an Icon in the tapStripItem-title?
Thomas Jung gave the following example:
> I don't know if this definetely works with tabstrips
> items but it does work with buttons and toolbar
> buttons. What I do is create a BEE and render that
> to a string. I then use that string as the text of
> the element I want to place my image into:
>
>   <%
>   data image type ref to cl_htmlb_image.
>   data: image_string type string.
>   create object image.
>   image->id = `UserSelectionCancel2`.
>   image->src = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( `ICON_CHECKED` D`).
>   image->tooltip = ``.
>   clear image_string.
>   image_string = image->IF_BSP_BEE~RENDER_TO_STRING( G( page_context ).
>   %>
> <xhtmlb:toolbarButton id            = "UserSelectionCancel"
> onClientClick = "closeiframe();"
> enabled       = "<%= enabled %>"
> text          = "<%= image_string %>" />
I didn't find anything else about this topic and
tried to adopt this for a button, but that doesn't work for me either.
<htmlb:button id            = "byButt"
   text    = "<%= image_string %> ENTER"
   onClick = "myClickHandler" />
Is there a way/documentation to get this done?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

OK, I think I get the idea. Will check the stuff. Thanks.

Just bad copy paste. Yes.

I just saw coding in the button.

OK, that was right on spot. This shows me the Icon! Strike!

I'll check the documentation on BEE and give it a try.
Thanks for your answer.
Thats a starting point for me.

How can I prevent the url display from sometimes being overwritten by button icons?

The address in the url bar is sometimes overwritten by a line of button icons, which can overlap onto buttons beside the url display.
Please see a typical display here:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/k3ayssw
This, I am happy to say, does not happen with every website I visit, but it happens often enough to be a real nuisance.
Here is a list of *some* of the webpages where I have encountered this phenomenon:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/ov7pcrs
http://preview.tinyurl.com/omeov9u
http://preview.tinyurl.com/yrtpxf (all Wikipedia pages)
http://preview.tinyurl.com/ppp8vog (all tv-series.me pages)
http://preview.tinyurl.com/pm5q2se
http://preview.tinyurl.com/ygfsd68
Sure hope that there is an easy solution. I reverted to the Classic Display to work around it, only to find that it didn't solve the problem.

Hello,
That is not normal behaviour and is caused by one of your add-ons. Just to be sure, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Since it will be a hassle to find out which one of your many extensions is the culprit, follow the note in this section of the article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_test-for-faulty-extensions
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

HT201263 After updating to the ios6 my ipod was going on and off displaying the apple icon and then had a white screen that had multi colors on it. Then it had a blue screen.plz help me

I was updating my iPod touch 4g to the ios6 and it told me to hook it up to the iTunes and so I did. After doing that the computer told me to restore I tried and it didn't work. My ipod then was Turing on and off displaying the apple icon then my screen turned white with rainbow colors going down the screen then at some point my ipod had a multi colored blue screen. The screen was no longer blue after I let it die. Plz help I can't find any solutions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

OS X Lion Server display problem with menu highlighting and button icons

I have attached Grab capture of my screen showing the problems with the window top bars and button icons. This happened after a routine security update.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks
George Harrison

I have/had the same problem. Comparible setup running Lion Server GM. The natd service fires off the InternetSharing service from the prefspane instead of the regular natd service. This is verifiable by entries in the system log as well as the lack of the natd process running. Below are my findings from research/experimentation; please understand that this is what I have done to get it working, it is DEFINITELY not best practices and I'm sure not supported by Apple. I'm just conveying what I think is happening and how I dealt with it.
Natd - Executing the binary referenced in the launchctl job directly launches the InternetSharing service on Lion server. This does NOT act this way in SL server, where it works as expected. Replacing the Lion binaries with The SL ones results in natd working as expected: nat_start and nat_stop in /usr/libexec. In short, if you replace the Lion binaries with the ones from SL, it-s a drop-in fix. Natd isn't your only problem though...
Dns/named - It appears that Apple has limited named to binding on the loopback adapter only by default on Lion. Adding a listen-on clause to named.conf with the appropriate bindings will fix this. I'm assuming you're running natd, named and dhcpd on the same box...
Dhcpd - Works fine. It appears broken only because the InternetSharing service is replacing natd (why?!?) and it has a built-in dhcpd server (dumbed down 192.168.2.0 subnet). Once you fix natd, this runs as expected.
Firewall/ipfw - Gotta have this running so that natd will do translation. Remember to open the dhcp ports to allow the clients to get leases...
I hope this helps, I'm sticking with SL until these issues are worked out...

New topics are compiled in but don't display when help button is pressed

Folks,
I'm using RoboHelp HTML Build 6. I am the only writer who uses RH and have been using this build for 2 years or so.
I recently got a new map file from the developer containing 2 new map IDs. I used the same steps to import the map file, create the new topics, and map them to the new map IDs that I have been using for years. But when I compiled RH and pasted the chm into the application folder, those 2 new topics don't display when the help button is clicked on the dialog box to which they are mapped.
When I generate the chm I can look at the output at the bottom of RH project view and see that that the 2 new htm files are being compiled into the RH project. I can also see them if I open the generated chm and go into the TOC and click on a link to them.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried redoing the usual procedure (see below) for the importing and mapping from scratch several times. I have also tried BugHunter (see below).
Procedure for Importing and Mapping (this time the help for all the older dialog boxes works but not for the 2 new ones)
1. Open the new map (.hm) file from the developer and add #define followed by a space to each entry beginnng with the string HID in the new map file (I don't know why but nothing works unless I do this.)
2. Delete the old map file from the RH project.
3. In Windows Explorer, copy the new .hm file into the RH project folder.
4.In Project Manager view, open Context-Sensitive Help. Right-click on Map Files. Select Import. Browse and select the new map file.
6. Map the new topics using File, Edit Map IDs.
7. Generate the .chm and pasted it into the application where it always goes.
BugHunter Procedures and Results
I first tried the Test HTML Help API dialog.
I specified the .CHM file I compiled and tested both options:
--HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC: I put in the name of the new help (htm) file and its relative path and clicked Help. Nothing happened.
--HH_HELP_CONTEXT: I put in the Map Number for the new dialog box and clicked Help. The new help topic I had created displayed.
I also used the Tools tab in BugHunter to do a CSH (context sensitive help) Test. I identified the chm file and opened it and put in a new map number, then clicked Show Help. Nothing happened.

Welcome to the RH forums.
On the surface it sounds like you have done everything correctly so it should just be a case of going back and double checking that you have the correct CHM, that the mapid is exactly the same as in the app and that the app has been updated.

Custom theme with Fiori launchpad

Hi
I have created a custom theme using the theme designer as per detailed in Colorful Fiori - Part 3 - Sea Blue
I can see some changes taking effect in the preview but not all. For e.g. the tile title color, icon color did not change.
When I use the custom theme with the fiori launchpad url, I do not see any of the tiles. Only button I see is the logout button.
I checked in debug, it did show me few 404 errors. wondering why the custom theme works for my ui5 application but not with launchpad url.
Appreciate your help, in identifying what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks
Kalpana

Hi Masa,
Thanks for replying !
We found that our exact issue was resolved in Version 1.1.7 of UI Theme designer (OSS note 1941092) .
So we upgraded our SAP_UI component to SP08 and now we are on version 1.2.2 of UI theme.
I am now able to see the tiles on my Fiori launchpad and the logo I defined in the custom theme. But the custom theme I applied did not get applied to the tiles and the background.
I still see the whole page (Except our company logo) with sap standard sap_bluecrystal theme.
I did the Inspect element, and see that it is still using the standard CSS. Cleared the browser histroy just to make sure that it is not picking the old theme from cache - but with no help.
If I go back to the theme designer and open the custom theme, I can see the csutom theme changes in the preview.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Kalpana

Fiori Launchpad integration in Portal Rendering issues

Hello Guru's, I have created UI5 iview by copying the Web Dynpro Application com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap - UI5 and pasted in to the folder where I am creating the iview. with in the content SAP UI5 gave the relative path as :/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html? And in the Navigation Menu- selected the option: Display in separate headerless portal window (standard mode) Now when trying to Preview or open the role it is not rendering(both in IE and Chrome) the Launchpad. It is displaying a blank screen. And we are the latest version available in the market on the patches and all the fiori related components. Please help. Thanks, Pramod

Hello All,
Here is the reply from SAP on the issue:
Currently, the Fiori Launchpad is not designed/supported to be
consumed in another container as the Portal. (We implemented " Anti
Click Jecking Protection" which block this load).
With UI-Add-On SP09 and the NW Portal version 731 SP13/ 740 SP8 we
will enable also consumption of FLP via SAP portal or direct call to
specific Fiori applications
with the option to remove elements from header as the logo or
non-relevant buttons.
For now we are using Launchpage which was created as a URL iView and working fine without any issue.
Thanks,
Pramod
