Enable Hoover Menu in Ajax Top-Level-Navigation

Hi all,
currently we´re upgrading from 7.0. SPS18 to EHP2 SP6. We want to use the AJAX framework page. We also want to have a hoover menu in the Top-Level-Navigation.
I´m aware of the tutorial in the SDN (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true), but I also want to use the widget tab.
Anybody around who did a hoover menu in an AJAX framework page?
Thx and Rgds,
Andreas

AJAX Top-level navigation (TLN)

Hi,
11 months ago SAP released a whitepaper about new UI technologies:
<a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b7259e66-0e01-0010-8ea4-c72990c41d7c">Using the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal and NetWeaver Business Client - Technical and Business Advantages</a>
Has anyone heard anything more about the following bits:
"L-frame containing the portal navigation tree can be cached in the browser"
"browser will receive a face-lift to modern, AJAX-based UI and behavior"
It also stated:
"A detailed roadmap and timeline will be published by SAP in the near future."
but I haven't seen anything - has anybody else?
Has anybody seen a roadmap / timeline? Dates or SPS level etc.?

Drop down menu for top level navigation

Dear All,
I recently had a quick peek at SAP's corporate Portal, which has a drop down menu in the top level navigation that dynamically changes the secondary level navigation based on the option selected.
We are currently running a standard portal (not an external facing lightweight framework portal), does anyone know how to achieve a similar result so that we can provide a drop-down menu to allow the user to dynamically change their role structure?
Many thanks
James

Hi James,
We have implemented such thing two years ago, also without EFP (with the light framework, it's easy). It took some days (more than 5) to change every JS, JSP etc which has to be touched for this. In the end, the first level of the navigation had been moved up into the dropdownbox, so that when changing the ddb, the two lines of the originabl TLN showed in fact the second and the third level (and the DTN starting with the fourth level).
It was really nice, but keep in mind that this means modifying the standard and maintaining this solution with new SPS coming up...
Hope it helps

Show a menu of roles in the Top Level Navigation

Hello,
Imagine a scenario where a user has many roles assigned to him (say 40 roles). In that case the user will have 40 tabs in the first level of the top level navigation and by default a horizontal scroller appears on the right part of the screen clicking on which the roles will scroll horizontally. If the user has to go to the 40th role he has to click quite a lot.
Is it possible to have a menu option clciking on which we get the all the list of roles in the top level navigation in a vertical list and we can directly jump to any role clicking on the entry in the list ?
Something like what we get in a tab strip in Web Dynpro.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have menus as you wish .
Look at the following links
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85

You need to work on navigation tag libraries to extend number of levels .
The above inks helps you only for single level of navigation.

undo the changes what you have done.
after you logon to the portal try the url below...this should take you to content admin directly from there modify the framework page and reset the property of TLN

Top Level Navigation jumps to wrong workset

Hi,
In our portal (SP15), rather than loading the first page/iview of each workset in the top level navigation, we wanted a starter page that said something like 'click a menu item to continue'. To achieve this, I created the relevant URL iview and added it (delta-link) to each workset that appeared in the TLN. I then changed the properties of the iview so that it was Invisible in the Navigation AND Default Entry for Folder. So now when you click on a TLN node, the iview appears but doesn't show in the menu.
However, this has created some strange behaviour. Once a node on the TLN has been selected that points to proper page or iview (i.e. one that appears in the navigation), if you then click on any workset on the second level (first level ones are ok), the TLN "jumps" back to the node which has the page/iview - but still shows the starter page iview. This means that users can't access any workset on the second level, except the first one to be displayed (i.e. when you have several nested worksets in a workset).
Can anyone explain why this is happening? The problem only occurs when the starter iview is both Invisible in the Navigation AND Default Entry for the Folder. Is this expected behaviour (and if so, why?) or is it a bug? Is there another way to achieve what we want?
Many thanks
Jane

If I do that, the iview does not appear because I already have an Entry Point above that level (i.e. the Workset). Entry Point as Yes only sets the initial navigation node, it doesn't force an iview to appear. (or at least this is what my testing has shown).
We may have to rethink how we can do this - does anyone know of a way to stop the first iview/page loading in every TLN node, and instead just showing the portal background?
Many thanks
Jane

Top-Level Navigation Bar - Is it possible to make it 3 levels?

Dear Portal Experts,
Could someone please advise if it is possible to make the Top-Level Navigation Bar show more than 2 menu levels? I looked at the document and it said we can only have 1 or 2 levels. But I'm just wondering if there is any way around it. Thanks.

yes you are right .we can set only 1 0r 2 levels but good news is there is a workaround

Display Icon/Image instead of Role name in top level navigation

Hi,
I want to display a image / icon instead of role name for a particular role. Can you please tell me how to achieve this ?
Thanks,
VP

Hi,
the thread is just for the background image (for all elements).
if you want to display icons instead of role names, you have to create your custom top level navigation using the
navigation taglib from SAP. There are lots of examples. make a blog search for Mr "Kannengiesser" from SAP.
In case you are using already an EHPx in your EP 7.0 the AJAX framework might have this feature.

Personalize Top Level Navigation.

Hi,
We are planning to implement some customization to portal Top Level Navigation.
In our system we are having around 20 roles, We need to display only five roles at a time in TLN TAB. Remaining will be accessible on clicking More Tab (After fifth role), which will display remaining roles in hover menu.
We acheived this part successfully.
The second part of the requirement is, user should able to personalize the order(sort priority) of his role. So that he can always display frequently using role first.
How we can develop this part.
Please feel free to write any thoughts on this.
Regards
Baby

Alex,
Thanks for the reply.
That's exactlly my requirement. I like to discuss more on this.
Can u explain me what do you mean by storing in database? I need more help on this part.
My inital thought was to create an application which will function in a simliar way of end user personalization of iviews and pages.
SInce all the sort informations are maintained at entry point (role) level, should i go at each role and maintain personalized information.
Is it practilcally feasible to create an application to manage all these personalizations.
Is there any other simiple solution to this.
Regards
Baby

ByEPCM top level navigation in between federated portals

Hi Everyone,
we're currently having an issue where our bespoke top level navigation isn't working properly between our federated EP and CE systems. The TLN is a hover menu style navigation and uses byEPCM to navigate. The problem occurs when the user logs on to EP, navigates to an iview that is on the CE box (via federation) and then tries to navigate back to an EP iview. Instead of displaying the iview the user sees "page not found" in the content area and has to reload the whole portal framework for it to work.
The logs don't seem to suggest very much apart from it looking for the role/iview on the CE box as opposed to the EP box (??). This does not happen using the standard SAP TLN and also doesn't seem to happen when using byURL instead of byEPCM. Now, the natural suggestion would be - why not use byURL instead? This is valid approach and I will test this but I distinctly remember that there was a reason why I used byEPCM as opposed to byURL in the first place (just can't remember what it was as it was a long time ago). In any case I will test this over the next few days.
I can't help think though that this might be a config or security/permission setting somewhere on either EP or CE (probably CE). Anyone who has encountered this before and can maybe shed some light or have any suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks,
Dion

Hi Henrik,
you could listen to the navigation event (just as the TLN does to navigate to the next page).
Here is how it works (JS code):<pre>function myNavEventHandler(eventObj) {
 var navigationTarget="";
 if (typeof (eventObj.dataObject)=="string")
 navigationTarget = eventObj.dataObject;
 else
 navigationTarget = eventObj.dataObject.target;
 // add code handling navigationTarget
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "Navigate", myNavEventHandler);
</pre>Put this code into an component/iView, then place it into the framework page.
That should be it...
Regards
Sven

Problem with Back button in Top Level Navigation

Hi all,
We are facing a minor problem with the Back button in the Top Level Navigation in Portal. This button is present under the Roles and Worksets menu along with the History, Forward, and Add to Portal Favorites links.
The problem is faced when we have some worksets under a single role. While browsing accross these worksets by randomly clicking on them, we wish to use the Back button as well to go back to the previous workset. But when we use the Back button, the Detailed Navigation panel in the last workset is not retrieved.
I will explain with the System Administration Role. I open the worksets under this role in the following manner:
First I open Transport;
Next I open Portal Display;
Next I open System Configuration;
Now I wish to go back to Portal Display workset by clicking on the Back button. But when I do this, although the Portal Display workset opens up, but I cannot see the Detailed Navigation Panel. See the screenshot below:

Please help me in solving this issue.

I think I have found a resolution, although not very pleasant:

Hi,
We have faced a similar problem earlier, one of the developers changed the property to 0. Luckily for us, one of the user id has got Content Administrator as the first tab, so we could change the iview template and got the TLN. Check this option.
The following is a theoritical idea only, i have not implemented this
Download "com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.par.bak" and change the code. Check out this link
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
You have to change the code as
levels=2;
before this line
if(levels>0)
{ %>
Take a backup of the existing TLN par and upload the edited one with the same name. Then try login and see whether you are able to get the contents, update the property back to 2.
Note : try to upload the necessary jar files in NWDS.

Go to the ESS role via Content Admin, then double click the workset (or page or iview) and in the drop down select navigation. Then click the Yes radio button of the "Invisible in Navigation" property.
