Flexibile UI and context menu questions

I would like to give the user the possibility to change the Look & Feel of the KM through the flexible UI and also i need to change the context menu configuration? For example I would like the subscription to be open not from the Details context menu.
is it possible?

Hi Erez,
this is possible. Start your investigations from the LayoutSet used by your KM iView (System Administration - System Configuration - Knowledge Management - Content Management - User Interface - Settings - Layout Set). From this you can navigate for example to the CollectionRenderer or ResourceRenderer, wherever you want to change something. From this you can drill down to the CommandGroup used. CommandGroups themselves contain other commandgroups or single commands. Drill down this composite pattern to the command(group) you would like to change and add or remove command where you like to.
Some advice: Before changing the standard groups/renderer/layoutsets, create an "advanced copy" of a layout set, fill in this set within your KM iView and make the changes on this deep copy of the original object; by this, you won't kill any (working) standard implementations...
Hope it helps

ALV: Right Button Click and Context Menu

Hi Experts,
I have to implement an ALV which should act on a right button click and show a context menu.
Is this possible? I found only events for "on_double_click" or "on_link_click" and is it possible to show a context menu?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Markus

Add "make unique symbol" button and context menu option

I often want to make a variation of an existing symbol that is already positioned on the page. Unless I'm missing something, the steps are to duplicate existing symbol in the symbols palette, then replace the selected symbol instance, using the "replace symbol instance" in the Control Bar. Why not have a context menu option "make unique symbol" that automatically replaces the instance with new, unique symbol? I'd also like to see "Edit Symbol" added to the context menu. I'm hovering over the symbol, why should I have to go find the "edit symbol" button? I realize I can double-click the instance, but this does not work in all cases, such as when the direct select tool is active.
If you've used SketchUp, you know where this idea comes from.
Thanks,
Ray

No, I want to make a new, unique symbol of an existing symbol instance. If I choose "break link" from the context menu or symbols palette, the artwork is no longer a symbol and after editing, must converted to a symbol using the symbols palette. This requires several, unnecessary steps. At the very least, I'd like to see "Make new symbol" added to the context menu. If you're a SketchUp user you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Seems incidental, but AI's method is inefficient.

Precalculated data and context menu

Hi all,
Ever since I started using pre-calculated data in my WAD report, the basic context menu and enhanced context menu (with all standard sap options like 'export to excel') has disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to bring it back?
I am on BW3.5.
Many Thanks in advance.

Hi,
One possibility could be the read mode on the web template.
Check the setting "Read Mode For Data" on the Web Template in the WAD.
If it set to "Precalculated Data - STORED" or "Precalculated Data, If it exists - Hybrid" you won't be able to see the context menus" as it reads from pre-calculated data.

Control overlapping and context menu

hi guys,
I have this layout with a Panel, a Tab Container and a Datagrid. Basically the Panel is the parent of the Tab Container, and Tab Container is the parent of the Datagrid. My Datagrid has a context menu on it. But what happened was I can't get the context menu to show up because if I do right-click on the grid, the context menu from the Panel is what I'm getting, not the context menu I setup on the grid, but If I move the grid outside the panel its working good. Anyone encountered same thing? How will I surpass this overlapping?
Best Regards!

Hey Flex, thanks a lot! I should have known this is a bug on Flex 4 Panel right? Thanks for the tip, got it by setting the mouseEnabled=true on the Panel and on the custom Panel Skin as well.
Best Regards!

Flash trapallkeys and context menu issue on Mac

Hi
Using Flash CS3 and AS2. There seems to be a conflict when trapping all keys and with the context menu on Mac. If I have a Flash movie with a single line of code:
fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");
When I open the resulting swf in either the standalone Flash Player or if I publish as a Mac projector, when I right-click I get the context menu appear as normal, but none of the menu items work - nothing is triggered and the menu disappears. This is even the case for "Settings..." and "About Flash Player..." items. If I open the swf in a browser or run the movie from the Flash authoring environment, then the context menu works - but of course the fscommand is not run in these circumstances.
I've tried publishing for different Flash Player versions (down to 5!) and running in different Flash Players (a couple of version 9's and the latest version 10).
Has/can anyone get the fscommand to run AND the context menu to work together in the standalone Flash Player or the Mac projector? By the way, this only seems to be an issue on the Mac version - both work together on a Windows machine.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Hello Rohan,
We had the same issues as you described and we're on NW 2004s patch 9.
We applied the OSS note 909314 (as SAP suggested) and those two issues were resolved.

Rightclick and context menu functionality in SBO 2004

hi guys...
how to capture the right click event and the context menu event. I have seen the right click example in the SBO 2005 examples but how to get that functionality in SBO 2004, there r no SAPbouiCOM.ContextMenuInfo and SBO_Application.RightClickEvent
thanx in advance..
regards,
Vasu..

Hi,
I don't think you can achieve this in the 2004 version as it was an entirely new feature in the 2005A SDK.

Tree Control and context menu

Hello,
I created a tree with a menu. But the menu is not displayed on right click of a node .... Well I can miss something...
Anybody have an idea for help me ?
Best regards

Hi Aurélien,
This feature is not yet supported. Nonetheless, starting with SP13 you will be able to connect context menus to any ui element in the same way as it is the case in 7.10 with the limitation that context menu inheritance between ui elements along the ui element hierarchy not supported in SP13.

ACROBAT 9 Service packs and Context Menu hidden features

Hello.
My name is Sergio Bonfiglio. Some years ago I bought a CS4 WEB Premium suite with Acrobat 9 included.
While I'm Italian, I decided to buy an English version of the suite (I'm bi-lingual) for compatibility problems with tutorials and so on.
Recently I had to re-install the suite because of a RAID problem, onto a my newly re-formatted PC.
I did it successfully, but I'm experiencing some problems.
1. It seems impossible to install the standard Acrobat 9 service packs. They simply refuse to install. Acrobat 9 included in my CS4 is heavily bugged. The OCR recognition always crashes after few pages of work.
2. Some voices in the Explorer right-click menus are blinded, there is no caption (text) appearing. The lines are blank, while if I click on these "empty" voices, some Acrobat features do start, like the aggregation of multiple PDFs and so on.
Because part of my job is the transcription of documents - especially rare books - I badly need the OCR function working well.
Please help me to resolve these problems.
It is awful to have some "blnided" voices in the right-click menu, and it is severe problem not getting the OCR text of a document.
I'm using Windows 7 PRO.
Thanks for any help.

The simple answer is that your Acrobat was never installed properly for whatever reason. Run the cleaner, reinstall:

Printing from Context Menu Question

Hello:
Is there a way to set up Yosemite such that I can right-click on a file within a folder and send it to one of my printers?

I would be interested in the answer to this as well...a way to set acrobat so when I go to print a PDF it is set to 'fit to printable page' rather than NONE.

Context Menu for 7.x iview with 0ANALYZER_PATTERN

We created a custom template copying 0ANALYZER_PATTERN to ZANALYSIS_PATTERN in an attempt to add the export to .csv functionality along w/ other enhancements. I noticed that in the context_menu web item the web parameter to "Export to .csv" is set ON..however the option does not show up in when executing the 7.x iview along w/ many others.
1. What impact does the context menu web parameter settings have on the 7.x or 2.x/3.x iviews? Having difficulty trying to predict the behavior.
2. Can some please explain the connection between the Web Template and the iview version behavior? You can create 2 seperate iviews one that uses the 7.x setting and another that uses the 2.x/3.x setting and both behave completely different.
The reason I am asking, is to manipulate our custom template that will use the 7.x iview to include some specific functionality that was there in the 2.x/3.x iveiw and no longer there in the 7.x iview...specifically the ability to export to .csv.
thanks in advance for any input.
best,

QUESTION 1. What impact does the context menu web parameter settings have on the 7.x or 2.x/3.x iviews? Having difficulty trying to predict the behavior.
ANSWER 1. The context menu web item allows you to turn off and on parameters within a 2004s BI Web Application. When you update this property, it should update the template. To test this, create a new web application from scratch and put a table and context menu web item in there. Check on the context menu parameters you want to see. Save the web application and run it. Since this is a new web application, you can ensure that you aren't using cached settings and are testing the functionality.
QUESTION 2. Can some please explain the connection between the Web Template and the iview version behavior? You can create 2 seperate iviews one that uses the 7.x setting and another that uses the 2.x/3.x setting and both behave completely different
ANSWER 2: The 2.x/3.x iViews are to launch BI Web Applications built with the old Web Application Designer. The 2004s iViews allow you to launch applications built with the new web application designer. Keep in mind the connection strings are different. Within 3.x, the format is TEMPLATE_ID=0ADHOC, whereas within 2004s, the format is TEMPLATE=0ANALYSIS_PATTERN, so the command has changed from TEMPLATE_ID to TEMPLATE.

My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Hi David,
thank you very much for the quick and correct answer.
Just a few more questions about this.
Now, as I know the answer, I found it in the documentation as well.
But I allways find it very hard to find anything in the OMB*Plus Command Reference . And also with the description of the OMBMENU command: Why is there no description about the parameters in the reference? Where is the list of valid object types, and where is the description of the "QUOTED_STRING" (NEW, OPEN)?
This command is just an example for the, in my opinion, really poor quality of the OWB*Plus Command Reference.
Is there any underlaying reason for this that I do not understand, or is there a special strategy to work with this document, or do I just need more practice?
The answers to this questions would be very helpfull for me, but also for my customer, where we start to implement a quite big DWH on OWB basis.
Thanks again.

Cannot see context menu for XML messages with Safari and Google Chrome

Hi All,
I am unable to see Context menu with the option of Create, Edit, Delete etc. for KM messages. This problem persists with Safari, Chrome and IE9 browsers. This thing works fine on IE7 and IE8 browesrs.
On clicking History and Options buttondoesn't perform any action i.e. we cannot see the list of options when clicking on those. This problem also persists with the above mentioned browsers.
Also, with IE9 , I am unable to create New message when clicking on New button. The XML form doesnt open on the button click.
The portal version I am using is EP 7.0.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Archana

Hello Archana,
