Folders in detailed navigation

Hi all,
I've created a role and a workset which is assigned to that role.
In that workset i've some folders which contains iviews and i need the folders to be available in the detailed navigation panel for that role to view those views... but i'm not getting that folders in the detailed navigation list.
Can anyone help me to get the folders in the navigation panel?
Rergards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
The basic concept is that what is seen to enduser is IVIEW
excepr that nothing is visible,What you are doing is that
Role - -> Workset - - > Folder (Iviews)
With this how could you can view folder in Detailed level navigation.
What you can Try is
Role - -> workset - - >Km Navigation Iview (Stating path of Folder to be Displayed ).
It will work fine.
Please reward pionts if helpfull.
Regards.

Expand folders in Detail Navigation by default

Has anyone figured out a way to have the folders in details navigation expanded by default the first time the user clicks on the tab?
I tried this:
Expand all folders in the detailed navigation by default on click of Role
But it didn't work for me. I have seen other claims that it can be set desktop wide, but no solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Prathamesh,
First of all thanks so much for your suggestion. It would have worked perfectly if I was using the lightweight version of the detail navigation. But is did lead me to download the code for the detail navigation tree par file and I found some interesting things.
First of all this should work by changing a parameter on the iview according to the code I found. See the code below (particularly the set state line).
    private void openFolder(IPortalComponentRequest request, HashMap dropJScriptsMap, ITree tree, INavigationNode node, ITreeNode treeNode)
        if(treeNode == null)
            return;
        IPortalComponentContext componentContext = request.getComponentContext();
        IPortalComponentProfile profile = componentContext.getProfile();
        Boolean leafNode = null;
        try
            leafNode = (Boolean)node.getAttributeValue("com.sap.portal.navigation.IsLeaf");
            if(leafNode == null)
                leafNode = Boolean.FALSE;
        catch(NoSuchAttributeException ex)
            leafNode = Boolean.FALSE;
        String openFolder = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree.openfolder");
        if(openFolder.equals("true") && leafNode != Boolean.TRUE)
            treeNode.setState("o");
            addNavNodeChildrenToTree(request, tree, node, dropJScriptsMap, true);
But it only looks to work if the folder is at the top level. Otherwise it rights children as closed. See the line for setState in method addNavigationNodesToTree.
            if(newNode.getVisualizationType() == 2)
                if(parentNode != null)
                    treeNode = tree.addNode(nodeName, title, "F", parentNode);
                else
                    treeNode = tree.addRoot(nodeName, title, "F");
                treeNode.setState("c");
                treeNode.setFolderOpenImage(mm_folderImageUrl);
                treeNode.setFolderCloseImage(mm_folderImageUrl);
            } else
So I really have 2 options. I can redeploy new code with the line just above changed (I didn't plan on modifying the SAP delivered), or I can move my nodes up to a higher level and change the parameters on the iview.
I hope others might find this useful and perhaps SAP will adopt another iview parameter in the future to completely allow for this as it seems pretty trivial.
Thanks again.

By default collapse all folders in Detailed Navigation

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to collapse folders which are build in this manner:
Role 1
.. Folder 1
.... Page a
.... Page b
.... Page c
.. Folder 2
.... Page d
.... Page e
.... Page f
.. Folder 3
.... Page x
.... Page y
.... Page z
ect...
I am working with EP6sp14, especially to run the External Facing Portal.
Thanks helping me and my customer..

Hi Leurs
Ur req is very much possible
What u need 2 do is make ur
1)toplevel navigation level to 0
2)detailed level navigation display level property to 1.
I will explain each step
1) I. Configure Top-Level Navigation
 1.In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Users-> Standard Portal Users. This folder contains the Default Framework Page.
 2.Right-click Default Framework Page and choose Open->Object.
 3.From the Page Content List select the Top-Level Navigation iView and click Properties.
 4.Scroll to the Number of Display Levelsproperty and enter the value 0, 1, or 2, depending on how many navigation levels, if any, you want for top-level navigation.
 Choosing 0 removes your top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView.
 5.Click Save.
2 Configure Detailed Navigation
1.From the Page Content List of the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
2.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage select the Detailed Navigation iView and click Properties.
3.Scroll to the Start at Level property and assign a value that is one higher than the value of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure l. Configure Top-Level Navigation. For example, if top-level navigation is configured for one level, the detailed navigation begins on the second level, that is with the value 2.
4.Click Save.
 Detailed navigation is not automatically synchronized with top-level navigation; the values you enter for top-level and detailed navigation must agree. For example, if you enter the value 1 for top-level navigation, while detailed navigation still has the value 3, one level is left out, creating a gap.
III. Configure the Content Area
 1.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Content Area iView and click Properties.
 2.Scroll to the Number of Display Levels in TLN property and enter the same value as that of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure I. Configure Top-Level Navigation.
 3.Click Save.
These steps will make ur Portal the way u want, i guess.

Expand all folders in the detailed navigation by default on click of Role

Hi All,
I have a requirement on expand all the folders in the detailed navigation by defalut when we click a Role in the Fist level navigation.
Please have a look about our requirement as mentioned below.
->Role1(First Level Navigation)
   ->Wokset1(Second Level)
       -> Folder1(Detailed Navigation entry Folder)
              -> Folder2
                   Page1
                   Page2
              ->Folder3
                   Page3
                   Page4
              -> Folder4
                   Page5
                   Page6
When the user clicks on Role1 then automatically all the folders in the detailed navigation should be expanded by default then user could see all the pages displayed in all folders. currently the functionality is collapsed all the folders by default in the detailed navigation then user has to expand the folders manually.
Regading this issue, i had seen couple of threads on the same but getting confusion what is the exact solution for the solution.
in those existing threads some people has mentioned that need to change code in the lightdetailnavigation.par or some other mentioned that it is not worked out even do the required changes in the code of light detail navigation part file. there is no clarity in the existing threads for getting the exact solution . please let me know what are the properties needs to be changed at folder level or workset level to make sure all the folders should be expanded by default in the detailed navigation??
Currently we are using portal 7.0 version.
Any pointers in this regard would be the great help to us??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
PortalUser

Hi,
To expand all the folder by default, we need to set the property of the detailed navigation tree.
Open your framework page in the content administration.
Check on the detailed navigation check box and click on the properties button.
In the properties, set the value of initial state= OPEN .
This will expand all the folders by default.
Hope you understood.

How to put a web link in the detailed navigation

How can you put a web link in the detailed navigation?
I know that if your role contains iviews that are 3 levels down (default), then the link to the iview will appear in the detailed navigation. But, I want to put a link to a external site in the detailed navigation - is this possible?
Thanks
Patrick

I have a page set with a url iview and it opens from the detailed navigation in a new window fine.
however when clicking on a link to the page via a landing page which displays the KM content page folders, it loads it in the portal active window still (with nav and masthead).
Any ideas how to get the km link to open in a new browser window?
thanks

Can you default a detailed navigation folder to an "open" state?

We have a workset containing iViews, and the detailed navigation on the left displays the iViews within a folder as we would like. However, the folder defaults to being closed, thus making the user click twice to arrive at an iView inside. Is there a way to default that folder to being open?

Hi Kris,
Its is not possible to have a folder expanded by default when you have all other parallel folders are closed.
Either you can expand only the root folder on DLN or expand all the folders. Expanding all the folder option would need DLN .par customization.
Set the below settings to open launched folder:
Go to Your current Framework Page -> Desktop inner page -> Open Detailed Navigation iView and set the property -> Open Folder when Launched as yes.
Initial State of Navigation Panel option shall expand/close the entire DLN.

How to disable automatic loading of iView/Page in detailed navigation?

Hello,
We've upgraded our portal 7.0 from SP9 to SP12.
I've noticed that SAP have added this change: Whenever a user is navigating between one role/tab to another in the top level navigation the first folder at the detailed navigation is automatically opened and the first content there is automatically loaded.
I would like to disable this option - I've looked at the new properties that have been added to the detailed navigation iView between SP9 and SP12 and could only find these two: Display Parent of Hidden Node and Open Folder When Launched.
These two are not solving this problem and they are disabled anyway.
Any ideas...?
Roy

Roy,
Role and Workset Hierarchy:
Folders F1 and F2 (Roles) are defined as entry points and therefore appear on the first level of the top level navigation bar. What happen is when we click F1 (Role), the underlying folders F1a and F1b (Worksets) appear on the second level. On click on F1a the first entry F1a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
And same procedure happens with F2 role on the first level of the top level navigation bar. When we click on the F2 (Role) the underlying folders F2a and F2b (Worksets) appear on the second level of the top level navigation bar. On click on F2a the first entry F2a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
I think need to configure levels of TLN which includes top level navigation, detail navigation and content area and then need to define the entry points.
Below are the links for configuring levels of TLN and right below it you will find link for define entry point:

Different links in the detailed navigation, based on URL alias

What I'm trying to do :
Based on URL aliases /irj/portal/individual or /irj/portal/business
I will dynamically add an UME group to the already logged in user.
Filter :
If clicking on /irj/portal/individual I will store "group=individual" in the context, and add UME group individual, if clicking /irj/portal/business I will store "group=business" in the context, and add UME group business and remove individual, and then redirect to the same URL.
Configuration
Each UME group has a one-to-one mapping to a Portal role.
I will place an ACL on the PCD content, based on group, hiding/showing aggregated folders, hanging under the roles.
Wanted end-result
Different links in the detailed navigation, based on URL alias.
My question is how you would implement the filter part, mentioned above ?
Portal app or J2EE servlet filter or something else ?

Hi sunil,

Create an iview from the par component (C) and add it to the DLN so that it shows the links to ur iViews(A and B). U can make the Show Tray property of this iView (C) to false.

Put iView UNDER Detailed Navigation on certain pages

Hey guys,
anyone have a hint on this??
I want to have some pages (some - not all where an iView is displayed under the Detailed Navigation iView.
I have tried to put the standard DTN iView onto the page together with the rest of the content but this DTN iView is not displaying anything - the "normal" DTN iView is still there and displayes the navi structure correctly.
Working with NW Portal SPS 16.
Thx and best regards,

At the moment the KM navigation iView is browsing the folders on its own...
But anyway - a big step forward!
Thx,

WPC detailed navigation Roles

Hi,
I have created few roles and used them in detailed navigation in my WPC site. In the home page, i have made a Home role and linked all the other roles to this Home role. So in the home page, i get all the roles in detailed navigation. Now when i click on each of roles, i get the folders/content in that role. But my requrement is that i need to get only contents in therole i clicked and all others roles should not be visible.

Hi,
isn't that the same as in this thread:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1184583&tstart=0
in all cases this fully belongs to the portal navigation logic (and the way the navigation tree is displayed). So some custom logic that makes use of portal navigation service API will do the job IMHO.

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.
Hope it helps

Hi Rajendra,Stephan
Please check the naviagtion properties for the IView.
The radio button agaist the property "Invisible in Navigation area"should be selected to No.
Or just make sure all the navigation properties for IView are correct.
Hope this helps

Can't find services in the Detailed Navigation when open from Overview page

Hi,
We have developed a custom area page for our ESS application. The area is visible in the Overview page as well as in TLN (Top leavel navigation). When we open the area from TLN the services under this area are visible in the Detailed Navigation(DN) on the left. But when we are trying to open the area from the overview page we can't be able to see the services in the DN and we have realized that the focus is on "Overview" in the TLN. In DN also only the Overview link is coming. But for other standard ESS applications the focus in the TLN is changing.
Please help to find the solution.
Thanks,
Sekhar

Hi Sekhar,
Did you get any solution for this issue. I am facing the same situation.Please advise.
