Dynpro Netweaver with Portal Themes

Greetings,
I am using SAP Netweaver Developer Studio
Version 2.0.16
Build: 200602130353
with Portal version
J2EE Engine 6.40 PatchLevel 102141.313
Portal 6.0.16.0.0
KnowledgeManagementCollaboration 6.0.16.0.0 (NW04 SPS16)
And I am trying to fetch the portal theme into my applications. In particular in the IWDLinkToAction using the Left-reporting property but it is not limited to it.
I have changed the theme but the changes are not reflected in my applications at all even though in the portal you can see the changes.
Is there anything going on that im not aware of? I have tried restarting portal, importing and exporting themes but this doesn't seem to do a thing.
Has anyone encountered this situation and if so is there a concrete way to correct it.
Thanks beforehand,
Ignacio Casanova

Problem with portal theme for WD Application

Hi Experts,
We have enhanced our ECC with EHP4 and SP18 in our existing portal.And now i am getting some theme problem.
I have few Wendynpro ABAP application in the portal which was coming with correct theme earlier bur after
enhancement all the other application in the portal are coming with the proper theme except all the
Webdynpro abap application.
All the WDApplicatio are coming as blue same like its coming in the backend system.I tried with many option
but i am not able to correct it since i have very little knowledge about the portal.
Thanks,
Satya

The problem is probably due to the fact that ERP Enhp4 contains NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 in which SAP delivers the Lightspeed rendering and the new Signature theme SAP_TRADSHOW_PLUS. The Portal at the 7.0 SP18 release level would not have the correct mimes for Tradeshow Plug or for Lightspeed. If the UR rendering of the backend is higher than that of the portal, it has to fallback to using the local stylesheet of the ABAP AS to protect that hte rendering is done correctly (see OSS Note 1267950 and 1033496). You can try the option WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET, but because of the drastic differences in the 7.01 and 7.0 rendering this will very likely lead to rendering errors (visual errors or more serious - JavaScript errors).

Web Dynpro application does not apply portal theme

Hi Guys,
We created a new portal theme and assigned it to our users. The portal desktop gets assigned succesfully and portal applications also show the new theme colors. But all web dynpro pages still show in the blue SAP theme. This issue only occurs on our development portal, when we import the same theme on our test portal is all works fine.
I also tried to assign the WebDynpro parameters "sap.useWebDynproStyleSheet" and "sap.theme.default" and then the web dynpro applications are indeed forced into the portal theme. However, that is no soluition since all web dynpro applications then use the theme including SAP applications like the NetWeaver Administrator.
We looked at OSS note '1446099 - Web Dynpro application not displayed
in customer theme' but the stylesheets are not different.
sap portal sytlesheet: UR=7.31.0.14.1
Web Dynpro Style sheet: UR Version=7.31.0.14.0
The portals in which the theme does work have the same stylesheet versions as mentioned above.
We also created an OSS message for this so if we solve it that way I will update this message. But if there is anyone on this forum that might have an idea that it would be highly appreciated. If the problem takes too long to solve we will perform a refresh from a portal that works but I hope that we will be able to find the reason of this behavior.
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden...

In theory, these versions should work correctly.
You can compare the patch levels applied on your dev portal and test portal - specifically compare the version/patch for the component EPPSERV*.SCA - and see if you have any differences there.
Thanks,
Shanti

Portal theme not picked for SAP Web Dynpro Iview

Hi,
We have used light framework page for our portal and all the iviews display the content within the iviews in the same set of colors (blue for buttons). However, for a WD java content, I have created an SAP Web Dynpro iView and the contents displayed here appear in the SAP colors without picking those set for the portal.
The same application parameters display the portal colors when we use the Web Dynpro Proxy iview.
Any idea how I can make the SAP Web Dynpro iView appear like the other portal iviews?
Note: The stylesheet property for the iview is already entered (ur), and I have also set the 'Supply Portal stylesheet' property to 'Yes'.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi ,
In ABAP Webdynpro for similar problem we used WDFORCEEXTERNAL Sheet property of WDA.
The Web Dynpro framework automatically compares the versions of the portal and Web Dynpro
for ABAP style sheets. If the Web Dynpro for ABAP has a newer version, the WDA style sheet is used. This avoids unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors.You can deactivate this behavior again using the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET application parameter of WDA.See also SAP Notes 1033496 .
If you use the stylesheet of the portal to display the application, the rendering may not appear correctly and Javascript errors can occur(If portal style sheet is lower than WD).
Though Iam not familiar with WD java , the property force portal style sheet in WD java application should be enough to make WD accept portal theme.

Using Portal Theme for a Web Dynpro ABAP Application

Hello everyone,
I've created a web-dynpro abap application that I display on one of my portal pages using a Web-dynpro iView.
Somehow, the WDA app never reads the portal theme properties and has the default SAP roadshow theme colors. I've tried almost everything including passing the theme as an application parameter using WDTHEMEROOT and WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET params.
Documentation states that the application should automatically read the portal's theme, but it never does.
Interestingly, I have one more web-dynpro java application that works fine and uses the portal theme correctly.
Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
Any ideas, suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated.

>Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
What are the release and support package levels of both your ABAP system and your portal? If the ABAP AS has a later release or SP level than the portal, the Web Dynpro framework will always fall back to using the theme of the backend ABAP system. This is to protect the application rendering. Running with a theme (CSS and JavaScript) from an older release or support package level could cause the application to render incorrectly.

Portal theme & web dynpro abap popup

Hi all,
I have a Web Dynpro ABAP application inside the SAP Portal, with WDTHEMEROOT & WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameters typed.
Everything is ok, any UI control that I used in the views is formatted according to the Portal Theme.
But right now, I want to launch a popup for a message. I use methods from if_wd_window_manager, like create_popup_to_confirm or create_window, but the popups are showed in a standard style, not the Portal theme (like the rest of the applicaton).
Anyone knows why??
The same method (create_popup_to_confirm) is used in a WD Java application and gets the Portal theme.
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hi Shanti!
Yes, I did it, but the problem still remains...
The fact is that most of the elements get the portal theme (dropdownbyidx, labels, transparentcontainers, buttons...) but when I call a popup through if_wd_window_manager it appears like the standard look&feel (blue color, etc...). The popups doesn't get the portal theme.
It happens only in WD ABAP, I mean, we have other applications in WD JAVA with the same portal theme & the same popup function, and it works...
The only elements that doesn't get the portal them are the popups!
Thaks!
Miguel Angel.

Issues with portal integration of Web dynpro for ABAP application

Hi,
I have the following issues when i integrate a Web Dynpro for ABAP application with portal.
1. the iview does not contain some images, such as table scroll button images, maximize and close buttons of popups etc.
2. the iview loads properly, but there is an error in the status bar that says "Access denied"
3. is it possible to do absolute navigation from
   role1->folder1->iview1 to role1->folder2->iview2?
   when i fire this navigation from the webdynpro
   application, the navigation does not happen in the
   portal.
thanks,
Kavitha

I think you are overestimating the power of the SCM_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module. By supplying a URL as the value of the input text, it isn't going to magically go read the content from the remote location and convert that to a binary string. It is going to take whatever value you supply in th importing TEXT parameter convert that to binary. In other words it is literally converting the string http://xxx/test.xls to binary. You will need some other mechanism to read the content from the remote location into ABAP memory before you can process it. You will need to use the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class or call some sort of web service to retrive the content.

Using portal theme in web dynpro tables

We are currently running EP6 (NW04). Is there a way to make our java web dynpro table ui elements use the portal theme? All tables appear blue unless they are checked as readonly in which case they are white.
I see there is a TableCellDesign ui element, but that is not available until NW04s and we are not there yet.
Please assist. (and thank you!)
Jeff Karls

hi
You are right about NW04s portal theme editor and we are able to change colour
the tablecelleditor ui. But as far as i remember i was able to change properties like selected cell colour, non selected cell colour and mulitselected cell colour.
However if you are not able to change it in EP 6.0 (NW04) then use the webdynpro themes. I suppose you will be able to do everything there.

How to reference Portal Theme in Web Dynpro Application?

Hi All,
I have implemented a WDA that is being embedded into the Portal. My customer has designed his own Portal Theme.
However, the WDAs embedded into the Portal do not appear in the style of the Portal Theme.
Now, my question is which means are required in order to have the WDAs use the same Theme as the Portal?
Can I provide WDA parameter WDTHEMEROOT with the URI of the Portal Theme? If yes, how do I get the URI of the Portal Theme?
I guess parameter WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET also is relevant in this matter... Please let me know how I get this working!
THANKS

Dynpro ABAP with Floorplan Manager in Portal!

Dear Member,
I havenu2019t worked on Portal yet. I worked on Web Dynpro ABAP and know how to do the Component and Application configuration from SE80 in SAP GUI.
Can we able to configure the Web Dynpro ABAP with Floorplan Manager in Portal? If yes, how to Personalize, Configure and Customize the Dynpro ABAP with Floorplan Manager in Portal?
If we have to do it from SE80, then we have to call the application URL with parameter u2018sap-wd-configIDu2019. Where should I update this URL parameter in the portal?
Basically I want to know how to perform Personalization, Configuration and Customization of Web Dynpro ABAP with Floorplan Manager and want to see the effect when customized application called from Portal.
Please let me know, if I need to more clear on my question.
u2026Naddy

Hi Naddy,
If you have configured the component and application configurations in SAP GUI then in order to display it in the portal, you need to create a webdynpro based iView. In the same Iview just fill one of the parameters 'APPLICATION' as name of the webdynpro applicaiton and the parameter 'CONFIGURATION NAME' as name of the application configuration that you create for the Webdynpro application.
Do not forget to implement the required interface of the Floor plan that you are using(OIF, GAF) in your webdynpro component.
Thanks,

Web dynpro Abap not inheriting the Portal theme

Hi,
My Web Dynpro Abap is not inheriting the Portal theme. My understanding is that for NW2004, EP7, Web Dynpro Abaps would automatically inherit the Portla theme. Is there some coding required or pre-config of some sort that I have missed to allow the Portal theme inheritance?
thanks

Adapt Portal theme in IView with html

Hi,
I'm currently developing a web program which is based on html.
I want to adapt the portal theme that has been used in the rest of the portal.
I know all the classes that I have to use and it works fine when i use the Isolation Method: "Embedded".
When i change the Isolation Method to "URL", all my styles disappear and i just view plain html.
Does anybody know how I can import the portal theme in such an IView ?
Br Rasmus
P.S HTMLB is not an obtion since I need the tabIndex property.

Hi Rasmus,
Try this:
<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="http://YOURHOST:YOURPORT/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/theme_cubizz/glbl/glbl_ie6.css?6.0.14.0.2">

Error while importing theme created with Eclipse theme editor

Hi,
I am facing an error when I try to import a theme I created using the Eclipse Theme Editor plug-in. I created a theme and exported it. Then when I try to import it, I get the error that "its.zip was not found in the archive". I check the exported zip file for theme and I see that there is only one zip file inside it "portal.zip". But if I export a theme from the portal, I get three zip files inside the archive - portal.zip, its.zip and ur.zip.
Can't I use the theme I created using the plug-in in portal? Are they meant to be used in some other context? Or is there any setting to be done on the plug-in to make it generate the zip files - its and ur ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ranjith

Hi,
It is used to brand webdynpro. and its a stand alone tool.. no need of any plug ins....
This is the description I found under eclipse theme editor. its totally related to webdynpro.
SAP presents applications to users in the SAP Enterprise Portal (SAP EP). You can change user interface themes with the "Portal Theme Editor" that is part of the Enterprise System Administration role.
As some customers do not have the version of SAP Enterprise Portal that includes this Theme Editor , this version of the Theme Editor is offered as an unsupported, standalone tool from SDN.
The Eclipse Theme Editor can be used to brand Web Dynpro.
Comments and questions: Please use the Web Dynpro forum. Problems regarding the Eclipse Theme Editor reported via OSS will not be handled. As the tool comes as an unsupported version, bug fixes cannot be guaranteed in a timely fashion.
Release information: The Eclipse Theme Editor will be released for each SAP NetWeaver stack. Please note that you can only use the Theme Editor version compatible with the same version Web Dynpro (for example, the SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Theme Editor is only compatible with SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Web Dynpro). When you upgrade Web Dynpro to a higher stack, you must also upgrade the SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Eclipse Theme Editor and your themes to the SAP NetWeaver stack on which your Web Dynpro applications are running.
here you can find how to edit themes in web dynpro using this eclipse theme editor..
