Hi,
I need to add a Hover Text for Top Level Navigation.I need to display some information text regarding the Role on moving mouse over it.
I did experimenting on download of com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevelnavigation but I am unaware where exactly Change to be made.
Any ideas??

Raja Akella.

HI Raja,
Check the Accessibility flag in the New User Registration form, if it is ON then it disables Hover feature for the portal.
Check the link esp the Header area part :

Hover problem in Top Level Navigation

Hi.
We activated hover option for Top Level Navigation.
So, users can hover over first-level entries and immediately see the entries that will appear in the second-level.
The user can then click the second-level entries and navigate to one of these entries.
My Question is
"we want to click first-level entries and moved selected tab like a action without hover. When we click first-level entries, nothing happens"
Please give me a ideas..

Hi Sarita,
I have pretty much followed your approach. But in the drop down top level navigation works wiredly & doesn't pick up the value as desired. I have similar need where the TLN has to be extended till 4 level, could you point me right direction where is it going wrong?
For 3-levels:
<ul>
    <nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
       <li id='l0'>

Horizontal scrollbar in the 3 level hover Top level Navigation

Dear All,
I have implemented a customised 3 level hover Top level Navigation in my Portal. However if the number of Roles increase in TLN, they get added to the next line. I want to implement a horizontal scrollbar in the Top level Navigation.
Request your help on the same.
Thank you,
Regards,
Disha.

Dear Atul,
Thank you for your quick reply.
However, using horizontal-y is not serving my purpose. I want the functionality similar to that of the standard SAP TLN in case of the scrolling bar when the number of roles increase in TLN.
Can you plz help me in writing the code for the same.
Thank you,
Regards,

Alternative tooltip text shown when mouseover top level navigation?

Hi,
I've gotten a request about showing a tooltip when the user has his mouse over one of the top-level navigation menus.
For example on SDN if you hold the mouse over weblogs you would get the text : "The weblog section includes short informal rants"
The standard way of doing this is to include an alt attribute in the anchor and allow the browser to render the text as it wants (which is fine by me).
The major problem I see is where do you define this text ?
It has to be attached somehow be attached to a page and therefore probably stored in the PCD.
Has anyone done an implementation on this (or tried to do one) ?
Cheers
Dagfinn

Got it working on my own now.
Implemented it by using the text in the description field.
Create a new top level navigation using the existing class and retrieving the value using the method defined in How to retrieve the description of a role
Then some minor changes to the jsp and js classes.
Of course I might need to redo it after an upgrade, but I just have to live with that.
Cheers
Dagfinn

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 a custom message on click of a Top Level Navigation Object

Hi Experts,
when the user clicks on the top level navigation entry link(for any application), I would like a custom message to be displayed to the end-users which would be maintained in a text file in a KM folder.
Currently, on click of the top level navigation link a workset map is displayed. But now I would like to read the text file and display the message (if any) maintained in the text file.
The message (if any) should be rendered before the workset map is displayed, or be rendered as an additional element on the same page as the workset map perhaps as an additional iView .
It is essential that the message content should not be cached by the Portal (in other words, the deactivation of the system message should not require a cache flush to become visible to the user).
The goal is to warn the users before they they access the applications of the workset map.
Can someone please guide me on this???
Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
See some info regarding Portal Eventing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/a5/8d1e72c20f4db2b9f577b47c1a47da/content.htm
In the link above you can see that it's possible to raise an event and subscribe to it.
Each time you navigate in the portal, the portal raises the UpdateTLN event so all you need it to subscribe to it in an iview that is located on the same page.
Since the masthead iview is in the same window (above the TLN - see the following link) you can put your javascript function in it.

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;
    <i>// add code handling <b>navigationTarget</b></i>
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

Cutomizing the top level navigation

When you logon to the portal we usually have the top level navigation and second level navigation, I need the navigation in a different manner, that the navigation that they are looking for is more like a drop down (menu with the drop down items )

Tool Tip for Top Level Navigation - EP6SP2?

Hi,
Is it possible to provide tool tip for top level navigation.
We have only one level TLN and Detail Navigation. On mouse over of TLN objects is it possible to provide tool tip?
Thanks.

Hi Raja,
as Pankaj stated, the NavTagLib is the answer - but: it needs the LightFrameworkPage. And both together at the moment for example doesn't support Collaboration, means, if you click on some room, bang, error messages and nothing does work as expected.
If you don't need CollRooms, you might give it a try.
In addition, you can check out the "Hover effect", see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/a16a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm - it's probably not really what you want, I just want to point to that possibility (working within the standard framework page) for a complete overview.
The last possibility is to modify com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel; the TLN entries are rendered through toplevelnavigation.js, methods printLevel/printLevel1Table/printLevel2Table.
Hope it helps
Detlev

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.

Top Level Navigation - Design bar borders

SAP EP 6.0 SP9 on NW04
We're using the top level navigation iview (TLN) out-of-the box and have configured the look and feel of TLN using the Theme Editor so that it follows the customer's corporate identity.
However, we cannot remove the two white vertical borders around the design bar in top level navigation or change the color to the same color as the top level navigation. It is only possible for us to change the background color of the design bar but not the color of the design bar border. The marketing department thinks this is a huge issue, which must be fixed.
We're almost certain that the problem cannot be solved by configuring the Theme Editor.
Does anybody know whether it is easy to modify the code or css files to change the white borders of the design bar? Any idea of what is the best approach?
Best regards
Peter

Hi,
I have similar problem but there is no "Display of Design Bar Container" option in the Top Level Navigation section of the Theme editor.

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

Customized Top Level Navigation iView

Hello to all
We are using a customized TLN iview. Its source code was modified to admit different URLs, and do the filtering depending of the default framework page which is using the TNL iview,
I mean, the TLN would be copied inside a proyect folder on the Portal Content, where would be a DFPage that contains a copy of TNL iview, and this copy would have a different roleFilter attribute.
Then, the TLN was modified again in order to merge roles that had the same name.
Those changes doesn't seem really important, they have just declared some vars, and each of them added one code line. The first one extended the first part of an IF condition, and the second one extended it with another condition, using OR.
The problem is that after the modifications, our TLN doesn't highlight correctly the first node when accessing or refreshing the Portal, instead of it shows a default start page that doesn't belong to any of our roles
The TLN iview has a procedure named PrintNavNodes, which is called on the event OnClick (I assume), and when we accessrefresh the page too.
The iview works well when clicking its buttons, it's just the first time it is used when the wrong page is shown, that's the problem we need to correct.
This procedure (PrintNavNodes) lodges the code changes. The only var modified is String prefix, so maybe anyone could tell me a default value to it, o a way to catch that mistake in order to show another page when the default page is to appear.
Also, I would appreciate if anyone knows about an API, andor a How to... manual, or any kind of documentation about this subject.
We have no possibility of reject the changes, so we need to find an alternative solution. Here is the code...
