Edit defaults page in portlet

I have implemented an edit defaults page for a portlet and use the personalization data class and the FilePreferenceStore to save the system level default settings for the portlet. All works well except that when I refresh the portlet's provider, I lose the system level default settings. Does anyone know if it is possible for the default settings to be retained even after the provider is refreshed?

Scott,
it's a common pb.
you must create, at least, one default public connection by using oem (port 1810). (click discoverer, then discoverer services configuration etc.)

Error editing Discoverer Portlet 'Edit Defaults'

Hello,
I am trying to edit my discoverer portlet to change the refresh options. However, whenever I click the edit default link, the following error message shows up on the page:
The current user does not own this instance. Only the owner can Edit Defaults for this portlet. Please contact the portlet owner
This happens even though I log in as the portal admin user.
Any ideas?

Did you find a solution to the problem? I am encountering the same problem. If the discoverer portlet is created by somebody else then I am unable to edit the defaults.

PL/SQL Portlet with edit defaults. HOW ???

Hi !
I created a pl/sql portlet that renders html. Now I want a customization option on the "Edit Defaults" page of the portlet. How do I do this ??
In the code of the portlet I set "l_portlet.has_show_edit_defaults" to true. So the Edit Defaults page is show, but it's empty.
On that page I want a variable where you can choose between 3 options. In the procedure where I render the html, I want to read this variable so I can render 3 different things.
Can someone please help me ?

I suggest you look at the database services provider in the PDK which is an example provider showing how to do the basic things within a provider/portlet - like customise and edit defaults.
You could also generate a provider using the pl/sql generator - that will produce code that you can use as a starting point for your development.
Basically you have to add code to the show procedure of the portlet to render a different page if the mode is 'MODE_SHOW_EDIT_DEFAULTS'. Look in the samples - it should be clear.
Hope this helps.

URGENT! Where is IMAP portlet "Edit Defaults" link????

Hi all,
I've deployed PDK(January). Registered the imap portlet to portal and add a portlet to a newly created page.
It iis written in documentation that there is a "Edit Defaults" page to enter server information (other than customization link to enter username/password info). But I could not find how to navigate to tha "Edit Default Page".
Any comments,
Thanks in advance,
Yeliz

Hi.
To get to the Edit Defaults page, click on the "Edit" link on your page. This will open a new page. On this page, just above your portlet there will be a button called "Actions". This will show you a page with the heading "Select Action". On this page, select the "Edit Defaults" radio button and click on OK. The page which opens is the Edit Defaults page.
Please note, the method I have described above holds true for most portal 9.0.2 versions. It might vary for certain portal 9.0.2 versions.
Thanks,
Ashish.

PDK Java Portlet looses edit default values everytime I redeploy EAR

Hello All,
I have a PDK Java portlet (Portal - Oracle 10g). It works as expected perfectly till I redeploy my EAR. As soon as I redeploy EAR, it looses the settings that user had set using edit defaults link. Is there anyway to prevent this? Application runs on OC4J server.
I urgently need solution to this problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kinnaree

Just to be sure, you are registering the PDK producer with a WebCenter portal?
Or are you just using the PDK provider in an oracle portal environment and you don't use webcenter?
If you are using webcenter, can you also test this behavior in Oracle portal? Do you also loose the values in oracle portal or is it just in webcenter? This way we can see if it's a webcenter or portlet issue.
If you loose the values on both the oracle portal and webcenter side, than it has something to do with the portlet. If they are working correctly in oracle portal, than it might be a bug in the PDK bridge in Webcenter.

Portlets: Edit Defaults

Hi!
I imported my portlets from 3.0.9 into the new one and all went fine, but the Edit Defaults Option does not work anymore :(
I tried to find new Guidelines to handle "Edit Defaults" but I failed ...
So does anyone share this problem with me ??

Hi,
Is the portal version you imported the same to is also 309 ??
By any chance have you applied any patches on the 309 Build you have ??
Thanks,

Edit list of workbooks portlet defaults

How to set the parameter of 'List of workbooks Filter list by' when editing list of workbooks portlet defaults so that the porlet just shows the workbooks of Discoverer according to the Filter condition?

You need to enter the value without % or quotes.

Editing default server page

In Snow Leopard, the default page that comes up when using Web Services is a pretty cool page with "My Page", "Wikis", and "Blogs" as selections for the user.
How can I modify this page's title image and text? It is a pretty solid starting point, but I would like to customize it and can't find where the resources are. /Library/WebServer/Documents doesn't have the right resources (or so it seems).
Thank you for any help.

This is an undocumented solution, but it is probably the most useful for your needs.
Create a top-level wiki theme and add it to the standard themes directory. Make sure to leave the "selectable" key false, so users can't select this top-level theme for individual wikis. The theme can consist of a theme.plist file, as well as a screen.css (CSS filename needs to be exact), and any number of JavaScript files (named anything, as long as they match *.js).
Such as:
toplevel.wikitheme
- theme.plist
<key>displayName</key>
<string>Top-Level Overrides</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>com.example.toplevel</string>
<key>selectable</key>
<false/>
<key>version</key>
<string>2</string>
- screen.css
html, body { background: #9f9 !important; }
- overrides.js
alert('Hello World!');
Modify /private/etc/wikid/wikid.conf to include the following key/value pair where 'com.example.toplevel' is the value of the 'name' key in your top-level theme.plist.
<key>topLevelTheme</key>
<string>com.example.toplevel</string>
Restart the teams service.
sudo serveradmin stop teams; sudo serveradmin start teams;
At this point, if you hit any of the top-level pages (/updates, /groups, /users, /ical, /search) you'll get an ugly lime green background and a "Hello World!" alert from the JavaScript. Customize as needed.

How can I change the default page for a book?

I have a book that contains six pages. One of the pages contains the login portlet while the others contain account specific information that a user can only see if they are logged in. Currently, I have the default page set to the login page.
I am attempting to write a backing file for the book that will esentially change the default page for the book to be one of the other pages if the user is already logged in. In effect showing a logged in user their account summary page instead of the login portlet.
I can't seem to find a way to change what page the user is shown with the book and page context classes. I can hide the login page, but this leaves the user looking at a blank page. Unfortunately I can't use entitlements, otherwise this would be easy.
Does anyone know how to "forward" to another page from a backing file?
Thanks,
Sam

Got it!
In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

Setting default page for group

I have a single content area setup with 2 folders. Each folder has been published as a portlet and are displayed on my page
in tabs (1 folder portlet included in each tab). I have 2 groups: Group A should have Tab 1 on page displayed as default
and Group B should have Tab 2 on page displayed as default.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Lisa

first,you should edit your page, then click the edit icon of your tab,in the opening window click the tab 'advanced option',in this page you can grant your group access.
finally,you should set your two group default page to your page.

Yes, I did, but there are very limited options. For portlet, there is only portlet

Any other ideas, thanks.

How do I get Distiller to render other than the default page size

I have double ad I laid out in Illustrator and I need to make a PDF with the Bleed/Trim/Color bars/ETC. In the past I could print to postscript file and run it through distiller, but after distilling, only an 8x11 is created. I've gone into the edit settings and created another preset that has the default page size set to the size I need it, but it seems counterproductive and not what I'm used to. Is there something that I'm missing?
Note: When generating the PS file I've tried selecting both my printer ppd and the device independent option.

Working in Mac Illustrator CC. Acrobat XI
I go to Print with these settings:
Drag the postScript File onto Distiller (Tried various preset settings)
And I get this – an 8.5 x 11 portion:
I've also tried printing with my printer PPD:

Is there a plug-in for editing web pages in Firefox (or how to otherwise edit in Firefox?

When opening an .htm/.html file in Internet Explorer to view and/or edit, I can view the source code and choose an editing program (I use Windows Notebook as my default just because it is quick and easy). Can I edit source pages directly from the Firefox browser, or 'link' to Notebook, or . . . to accomplish the same task?
I have other editing programs on my machine, but they either are clunky or require hoops to be jumped through to do my 'hand' editing. The way I have been doing it for many years is quick and easy, and doesn't require me to open more than one program to accomplish my task. This saves a lot of time when I have multiple pages to edit and/or a lot of 'picky' changes to make.

Editing error pages?

hi all,
i was just curious if it's possible to change the layout of error pages like the one we get when authorization scheme returns false. also, when we get a page not found error
Edited:
also, instead of getting the error page for authorization failure, is it possible to just redirect the user to the login page or maybe just kill the session?
thanks.
allen

You can look at the error page template used by the application (a section of the default page template) and you can make changes to that.
You can also redirect to any page from within any PL/SQL in your application, including authorization schemes, page processes, etc. Sometimes you need to do this first:
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
...after which you can use owa_util.redirect_url.
...just kill the session?
The only action you can take that would do that (whatever it means) is to go through the application's logout URL which will unset the session cookie. It will also remove the session from the internal sessions table when the application is run outside the development environment (by end users, for example).
