Folder Item displayed in content area page?

Is it possible to display an item
in the folder portlet area (to keep navigator bar).
I want the homepage to keep being displayed with the folder portlet in the same place only showing items description.
thanks for help.

It is the item type that controls whether you get that option. The way around it is to build a custom item type from the text type, then add a url attribute to it.
This will give you the control you want.

  • Rate it Link for items in a content Area

    Hi,
    How do I add a rate it link for all items in a content area and track the rating for items by all the users. This is urgent and any help is appreciated
    Thanks
    Makario

    You need to create a custom item type, with a procedure that displays a link to do the rating.
    For an example of a custom item type procedure, see Re: personal oracle 9i
    Note that the primary key for an item is (masterid, id, caid, language).

  • Portlets on Content Area Page

    We are currently using 3.0.8 and are trying to add a footer region to the content area page. So the page has a header in the top region, a navbar and folder portlet in the middle region, and a footer in the bottom region.
    When we put the footer in the bottom region on the content area page, it does not show up. If we move it to the middle region directly below the folder portlet, it shows up fine.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, any workaround?

    We tried creating a page with only the folder portlet on it for the content area and trying to put another portlet below it. This still gives the same behavior.
    We also tried it in 3.0.9 and did not see the problem there.

  • Difference between content area page and page

    Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
    between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
    the page created in create page tool ?
    I'm really confused.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Maggie

    Essentially they're the same.
    The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
    because architecturally when we display content for you to work
    with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
    content portlet.
    In the next release this will change, there will be only one
    type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
    portlets to it.

  • Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

    Hi.
    I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
    I created 2 regions.
    Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
    Region 2, root folder from my content area
    When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
    Is this by design?
    What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Phillip

    Phillip,
    The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
    Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

  • Apply template for content area page

    Does anybody know how i can apply a template
    for a content area page.
    I have to duplicate everything i did on the template to achive to same look and feel in the content area???????

    Harish,
    What are you trying to do?
    Are you using an unstructured UI template on your other pages, with release 3.0.8?
    If you are, you could put your presentation code in a stored procedure, and call the procedure within ORACLE tags from the template. For the CA page, call the procedure from a Dynamic Page, and display the Dynamic Page as a portlet on the CA page.
    In a future release we'll be combining portal and CA pages into a single entity, so we won't have these inconsistencies.

  • Alternatives to content area pages? URGENT!!

    Hi...
    I am implementing a site in Portal with a static navbar on the
    left side with links to folders... this navbar will remain
    static, the content that changes is in the rigth side..
    If I make a new page from scratch, including the navbar and the
    content area as portlets, when I click on a link on the left,
    the page banner and the other portlets disappear, and appears
    the content area page..... I read that the only way you can keep
    that page appearance is to customize the content area page
    itself.
    Are there any other ways to do this? (not depending of the
    content area page??)
    Please, I need help ASAP!!

    Not in the current release. The next release of Portal, planned
    for early 2002, will make this a lot easier.

  • Blank content area page - hide

    I created a form in Adobe Designer and my content area page is appearing as page 1 when I'm in PDF view - I've never had this happen and I can't delete or move the page (form MUST have one content area). It was interesting because I had 7 pages in my form - everything was fine until I decided to move page 7 to the top (becoming page 1) - from then on my content area page began appearing....any help out there on how i can "hide" this blank page?? Thanks! Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
    Now, the client just notified me that they don't want email submissions so I am off to find out how to se tup teh HTTP side.
    Sorry I am not more help :-(

  • Get the items in a content area!!

    I have to display the names of the items content on this CA on a page, and I need to do It in the same way the structured is show, but that I mean I need to show it like that:
    Item1
    Name of the Subfolder1
    Item2
    Item3
    Item4
    Name of the Subfolder2
    Item5
    Name of the Subfolder3
    Item6

    Please help me, how can I achieve that??
    Thanks in advance

    You could walk through the wwv_corners table to get a list of your folders and then walk through the wwv_things table to retrieve the items in the folders. Once you have your items you will need to use various techniques to display them. This really gets complicated though because you probably want to display folders and content in the order they display within the content area.
    Another and simpler way to at least traverse this content is to call http://server/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsbr_folderxml.generate?p_id=somefolderid& p_siteid= somesiteid
    This will produce an xml formatted dump of the folders and content. This goes to the http stream so you will have to capture and parse this.

  • BI content with folder structure in portal Content Area

    HI Dear Friends,
    I have  a requirement in my current project where i am integrating the BI reports with SAP EP.Iviews are associated with BI Reports.In the portal on clicking workset it should display folders in the portal content area with Icons instead of in Detail navigation .On click of the displayed folders it should display its sub content with Icons.
    I tried in all ways but later i came to know there there is a SAP BI business package which would come up with predifined iviews associated with BI. By importing this business package we can dispaly the  BI content in the portal in a folder format .
    I am using BI and EP 7.0 versions.
    Ratnakar

    Ratnakar,
       Let me understand your requirements, correct me if I understood it wrong. You need to display BI reports in Folder structure that is similar when you log on through BEx analyzer or WAD. If this is correct, then you need to upload the BI Role which contain all the required Folder structures and it BI Queries or BI Queries url assigned to that role.Once you upload this role on to portal , you will see folder structure on PCA.
    Example
    BI Reports  - Folder 1
      I--> FI reports  -- Subfolder 1
      I            I--> AP reports 1
      I--> CO reports  -- Subfolder 2
                   I--> Cost Report 1         
    Hope it helps,
    Cheers,

  • How to customize the default add item in a content area

    Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
    If anyone has any idea, please help me.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
    Thanks,

  • Translating items in a Content Area

    Hi,
    Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
    A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
    The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
    what is happening ?
    we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
    Thanks for any help!
    Fabian Cretton

    Hi Philip
    One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
    Hope that helps

  • Rights on URL items in a content area

    Hi,
    Ok, so now I have my query to retrieve the main URL items (top level branches) in a content area for my treeview. This is the query:
    SELECT IT.Name,
    IT.MasterThingId,
    IT.ParentId,
    URL.Url,
    COUNT(IT2.Name) Subs
    FROM WWV_THINGS IT, WWSBR_URL$ URL, WWV_THINGS IT2
    WHERE IT.SiteId = (
    SELECT Id
    FROM WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS
    WHERE Name = 'CA_NAVIGATION'
    AND Default_Language = 'us')
    AND IT.Active = 1
    AND IT.ParentId is null
    AND IT.Id = URL.Object_Id
    AND IT2.ParentId(+) = IT.MasterThingId
    GROUP BY IT.Seq,
    IT.Name,
    IT.MasterThingId,
    IT.ParentId,
    URL.Url
    How do I figure out if the current user has rights to view the item or not? Not all users may see all these URL's of course.
    I know how to find the current user, but I don't know how to limit this query to only those URL's granted to the current user.
    Could anybody please point me in the direction of the correct table/tables to use in this query?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    I've found several docs in the PDK. I've also found a reference to the WWSEC_API, function has_privilege.
    But I would like to know in which table I should look to check for rights of users and groups.
    In content area X, I have several URL's, each URL has several usergroups that can access the URL. How do I know which URL's to display when user Y belonging to usergroup Z logs in?
    Thanks in advance,
