How to portlets in to content area folders

hi everybody,
i need to add portlets into the content area folder.
Like, how we add portlets into pages(add portlet link).
is that possible? It is very urgent for me.
becz. i developed application using pages at first.
so that i can create user wise portlets,that means, one page for
all my users. but portlets display will vary according to the
privilegs.now i need the same thing in content area.
pl. help me ASAP!
thanks in adv.
Kathir

Portlets can be added to the content area page. You can edit
this page under Content Area Properties. Note that the content
area page does not have all the functionality of a portal page -
for example, it doesn't support tabs and you can't define a
style.
In the next release of Portal, content area folders and pages
will be merged. The merged folder/page can be used for both
portlets and items.
Regards,
Jerry

How to pass variable to content area from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to create a(Content area) folder based on a PL/SQL procedure that takes a variable as a
parameter and returns data based on value of that parameter to the folder . Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

Somewhere, in one procedure, build a session identifier and save your variable there. If no session with that identifier is previously stored, it will create a new session instance with that ID for you.
declare
l_sess portal30.wwsto_api_session;
varvalue number;
begin
varvalue := 100;
l_sess := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
l_sess.set_attribute('VAR_NAME',varvalue);
l_sess.save_session;
end;
In your other procedure, or anywhere else needed within that same session, simply load the session and reference the variable. To reference the variable, use the following.
-- assuming new procedure, so re-defining session variable and reloading session into it
declare
my_session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
my_new_variable number;
begin
my_session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYSESSION','VARIABLES');
my_new_variable := my_session.get_attribute_as_number('VAR_NAME');
end;
This will let you reference parameters across multiple portal applications and indirect calls.

How to create a "News" Content area with an effective date

I have a requirement to create a content area such that each item which is uploaded
will have an effective viewing date range. I know I can create a custom item type
and prompt for the Start View Date, and the End View Date.
Questions...
1. How do I 'filter' the displayed content so that the 'news' item only show up
if the current System Date is between the Start/End View dates ?
2. Exception, the Content Manager should be able to see the entire news content
items regardless of the system date ?
Page parameter mapping seems like a partial solution, but I don't see how to
create the folder filter predicate like "where SYSDATE between view_start and view_end.

Why not use Publish Date and Expiry Date?

How can URL links in Content Area be periodically checked ??

Is there an automated way an to check for bad URL links in Content Areas??

Guy,
You should be able to browse through Oracle9iAS Portal with any link checker available on the market. Some products may only let you check public content.
We have plans to add this functionality to the product directly in a future release.
Good luck,
Rich

How can I load a content area in the floor plan manager?

Hi Guys,
I´d like to load a content_area (Page 1 Initial Screen) from another (Page 2 Main screen). Basically, I want to go back to the initial screen from the main screen.
How could I do this? (A piece of code would be very useful).
Thanks

Finally, I only called to the correct event.
lr_event = cl_fpm_event=>create_by_id( cl_fpm_event=>GC_EVENT_START ).
lo_fpm = cl_fpm_factory=>get_instance( ).
lo_fpm->raise_event( lr_event ).
Thanks.

Accessing the Contact field on a Content Area Programmatically

I'm implementing some functionality to email the owner of a content area when a new document is submitted for
approval.
I have not trouble accessing and manipulating the content areas, folders, regions and items programmatically,
but when I get to the simple bit of looking up the contact for a content area to send the email I can't find the contact
property in any view, all of my WWSBR_% views MAILTO_DISPLAY_NAME values are '0'.
Does anyone have any idea how to access this Contact field (from Edit Folder -> Optional Properties tab) from PL/SQL
(or Java for that matter) either through a view, table or API call?
Regards,
Rob Paterson

Hi Robert,
Ur statement states that
"I have no trouble accessing and manipulating the content areas, folders, regions and items programmatically"
Can u throw some light on the same by possibly sending some codes to achieve the same.Our requirements are as under:-
1)When the content area is added with various privileges to a particular users page he needs to click on edit in order to add Item/folder or manage the same.Is it possible to show(either by customizing or programatically) the same links by doing away with the edit link and directly displaying the privileges(i.e. add item,folder properties) when he logs in.
2)As the situation stands now when a document is uploaded for approval only Portal30 can approve the same though the relevant privileges have been provided for various users.The icon for approval doesnt appear when the content area is added as a portlet.The only way of approval seems to be for portal30 to log in and navigate to the particular content area and click on the same.The items awaiting approval appear with a approve icon wherein he can approve the same.But the same fail to appear when published as a portlet.
Our project is under tight schedule so any help would be a gr8 help.
Thanks in advance.

Exporting content areas/pages

Help please!!
I have created content areas and pages on the Oracle's hosted portal demo site and need to export them to our own server.. Can anyone advise on how this process is done and if its possible? your help is appreciated...
thanks

Hy, there is a white paper about export import.
But here comes how to do it:
in $ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu, you can find the import export utilities:
- contexp.cmd
- pageexp.cmd
also the import utilities are here. Use all the parameters in the same order as they come in the example (just type in contexp when you are in the right directory). Do the same for pages. Use -security options if you want to keep the security and the same for contexp with his own -page option. This should be done if you changed the page of the content area. They make a security.dmp and a pobpage.dmp in the current directory ($ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu). If you export 2 content area's don't forget that the -page & -security option will overwrite the pobpage.dmp and security.dmp file, so it will be better to do the export import immediatly after each other. Or copy the files after the export.
Very important is to check the portlets from the content area's if they exist. If you have a portlet provider in the content area and the portlet repository doesn't show that (refresh in the repository can help) then the corresponding portlets in pages will be deleted.
Search on Metalink for the Whitepaper Fill in : Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import White Paper and you will find all the information.
Good luck

Skinned Panel Content Area Problem

I have instances of the Panel component that was skinned
using the Flex Skin Component Kit for Flash. The problem is that
the content areas of these panels occupy the entire panel area. An
unskinned panel has a content area that is within the panel's edges
and header. For my skinned panels, the content area extends to all
four edges of the panel (top, bottom, left, right). Any components
placed inside the panel goes beyond the usual white content area
and overlaps the header. How can I fix this content area size
problem? Please help. Thanks.

Can you use content area coordinates, or some manipulation of
the global, local, and content coordinates?

Content Area Search Engine

I need to create a search engine portlet for my content areas , in fact I found two portlets in the portal portlet provider, I would like to know where could I find this portlets' source code in order to modify them and create my own portlet, or is there another way to create the search engine?
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in Advance
Gustavo Ramos

Maybe you should have a look at CardLayout instead of doing a c.remove() / c.add() every time the user switches.

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).

I organized all my files into folders then went to organize them and now all the folder contents are stacked on top of the folders on the desktop. How do I fix it?

I Spent hours organize items into individual folders, then thought I hit arrange by name but now all the contents of the folders are on my desktop on top of the folders they were in...how can I get the contents back in the folders?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
