HTML Portlet - customize

Hi,
I am using the HTML Portlet in a page to display some company specific announcements to a user who is logged into the system. Right now all the users get a "Customize" link on top right corner of the portlet, which would allow them to post the announcements. Is it possible to disable(or make invisible) this link to some users and enable/show it to some others, thus ensuring that only few users are able to post the announcements ?
Thanks in advance,
Karthik

Hi,
You cannot grant any specific privileges on a html portlet to a user. The only way you can suppress the customize link is to not display the portlet header. But this cannot be done for specific users. It would not show up for all the users.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Display header of HTML Portlet

OS: Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP1
Portal: 3.0.9
I create a new page, and add a HTML portlet to it. Then I edit the page (via 'edit page') and choose not to display the HTML portlet header. This works perfectly.
But how can I show the header again? There is no customize link available anymore, and via 'customize' of the page I see that the header is already displayed.
Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance!

The best way to do this is to simply use the "Edit Defaults" link for your given HTML Portlet (this is displayed when you edit or customize the portal page in question.) In the "Edit Defaults" customization screen for the HTML portlet you can either enable or disable the display of the portlet header for your HTML portlet.
You'll always be able to access the "Edit Defaults" link for your HTML portlet from the edit or customize screens for the portal page.
Best Regards,

No content on HTML Portlet

I have a HTML Portlet in a navigation bar on a Template. All works fine, when I am logged on a person who created the Navigation bar.
When I log in as another user, the HTML portlet displays "There is currently no HTML content". Is there a way to make HTML Portlet display static HTML regardless the logged in user?
Portal version : 9.0.2
Thank you

Make sure that you created the content using Edit Defaults, and not Customize.
Also, you should use text items instead of the HTML portlet. You can also use a Dynamic Page portlet. The HTML portlet will likely be deprecated in a future release, as there are better ways of publishing HTML text.

My favorites portlet customization

How can I customize the "my favorites" portlet to
a.) remove the "my favorites" logo from the portlet banner
b.) add a scrolling bar to the portlet window
Currently using: 9iAS v.1.0.2.2 (PDK v1)
If I need to build this on my own, what's the best way to do this (Dynamic HTML portlet?)
Thanks.

If I need to build this on my own, what's the best way to do this (Dynamic HTML portlet?)If you just want to remove the logo, you could try to rename "ml_us.gif" to something else and then copy "pobtrans.gif" to "ml_us.gif". Both can be found in the portal images directory (\oracle\ora9ias\portal30\images). But of course, it now won't show anywhere.
Your best bet is to make a custom portlet and then let it show an IFRAME. That way, users can scroll. You can't customize the stock "my favirites" portlet, since the code in the database is wrapped :-/

BC4J: HTML Portlet

Hi,
I'm trying to build an HTML Portlet (like PORTAL) with containers, how can I do it?
I'm trying it with the Wizard but I need more customization (like height and width).
Thanks,
Miguel

You need to get to the customize page without going through the link on the portlet header. The easiest way to do this is to copy the customize link location while logged in as another user (such as the portal admin). Then log in as the end user, paste this link in your browser and you can change the customization.
Hope this helps,

Hide HTML Portlet

Hi,
I have an HTML Portlet to change password which is visible to public users so that they can reset their password if they forgot it. How can I hide it when they are logged in? The other way around is easy by setting access to authenticated users. how can I make this happen?
Thanks.

No.
The only thing you can do : change the color of link on the portlet header so that it will be the same with portlet header's backgroung color.
Or : uncheck the portlet header checkbox in options for portlet. In this case your portlet will be without header (like most portlets in Oracle site, but you will hide the "customize" link.
Best regards.

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

How to upload images in HTML portlet

Hi,
We want to allow users to add their HTML thru HTML portlets - there are two issues
1.How to upload the images that are part of HTML.
2.The <a> </a> doesn't work within the portal framework.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
You could also try giving the absolute URL to the image. This assumes you're using OC4J(Oracle Containers for J2EE), our J2EE compliant container. On your os, navigate to the following directory:
oc4j_home\j2ee\home\default-web-app. Create an images directory so the physical path becomes:
oc4j_home\j2ee\home\default-web-app\Images. Store your images in this directory. Startup oc4j by going to a command prompt and entering java -jar oc4j.jar at the oc4j_home\j2ee\home.
In your browser: http://hostname.domain:8888/Images/somegif.jpg. You can use the url in your <img src> tag in HTML.
Hope that helps. Please repost to this forum if you have further questions/issues.
Thanks,

Link in HTML Portlet not working

I have a HTML Portlet which has the following code
Back to Top
This link works fine in a stand alone html file. On click of 'Back to Top', it takes to top of the document. But if the code is embedded in html portlet, it takes to previous page accessed. I understand that the portlet is not able to understand that it needs to go to top of the object. How to fix this?

Hi Sakthi,
When you hower over the Back To Top link, what does it show in the status bar? Is it just prepending #top to your existing browser link? Or is it pointing to the previous page?
Secondly as Ido mentioned, you could always embed an anchor on your page template and refer to it.
As far as javascript is concerned, you could try something like document.scrollTo(0,0);
I am not sure if it works on IE and Firefox the same or not, but you could give it a shot.
thanks,
Harsha

How to use Custom Search in Dynamic Page or HTML Portlet ?

Gurus,
1. I have a tab called My Space in the portal web site, where user gets a personalized view of the content.
2. I am using custom attributes and custom item types. I have a custom attribute called 'Location', which is a attribute of custom item types.
3. I have 2 pages - News and Events.
4. All the content in News and Events page is tagged by the attribute 'Location'.
5. The requirement is to let the user search the News and Events by Location.
6. To achieve this I used the Custom Search portlet and the user can select the attribute Location and see the resultant News and Event items by location in the Search portlet.
7. The requirement is to present the News items and Event items in separate regions on the page and show only the first 5 News and Event items in the result and show a More link which would guide the user to rest of the News and Event items.
8. Eventually there may be more content other than News and Events tagged by location. If so, the requirement is to create a new region and display the new content.
9. How would I do this using custom search ? I was thinking if there is anyway I could use the custom search api (where can i find it ?) in the HTML portlet or Dynamic page and submit the result to IFRAMES in each region and show the output ?
Pls advise.
Thanx a bunch.

I would suggest that you use two custom search portlets; one for the news items and one for the events items. Switch the custom search portlets to "AutoQuery" mode and add the relevant criteria. On the results display tab of the the "edit defaults" screen, choose to show just 5 items.
To add a link to show the user mode results, I'd create two new pages that have just a single custom search portlet on it that is customised to show more of the results and maybe has the pagination links enabled.
Then I'd add two "Page Link" items underneath the two news and events portlets on the first page in an item region.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well. Hope that helps to get you started.

Html Portlet links displaying in another portlet on the same page

I have seen similar posts but no detailed explaination of how this is done.
I have an html portlet with links whose content I would like to display in an inline rendering portlet on the same portal page. How can I pass the link url from the html portlet to the inline rendering portlet?
Thanks,
Robyn

If your environment is fairly static, you can handle this easily.
The link in your HTML portlet must refer to the page URL of the portal page on which the HTML portlet resides (which changes from portal page to portal page), to which you need to append the parameter that your "inline" portlet (under which I'm not sure what you mean) reads:
<a href="http://<portal_page_url>&my_param=value">click here</a>Is this close to what you're willing to do?

How to display current user using HTML portlet

Hello,
Is it possible to show any text such as Greeting, Current User (ex, Hello, Kevin) using HTML portlet. Can I use <oracle></oracle> tags to get the current user from the API?
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Satish

Thanks for your suggestion. There is also another way for this:
In a Portal text field (CMS item) you can type
#USER# to display the username of the authentificated user or
#USER.FULLNAME# to display the full name.
Thanks,
Satish

Dynamic List of Values in HTML Portlet

I need to create a dynamic lov that selects the emp name and id from the emp table. This needs to be placed in a HTML portlet. I tried creating a LOV from the applications in portal but I think it needs to be tied to a form/report. I tried creating manually (code below) but it doesn't seem to grab the info from the cursor.
Any ideas on how to do this or what is wrong with the code?
<table width="145" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr><td><b><FONT class="PortletText1"> View Child Information:</font></b>
<table width="135" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<form method="post" action="../utilities/switchschools.asp?ci=yy" name="childInfo">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="bottom">
<select name="student" style="width:137px" onChange="SubmitChildList()">
<ORACLE>
declare
CURSOR get_emp IS
select A.ename empname, A.empno id
from emp
order by 1;
begin
FOR emp_loop in get_emp LOOP
htp.p('<option value= ' || emp_loop.id || '>';
htp.p(emp_loop.empname || '</option>';
END LOOP;
end;
</ORACLE>
</select>
</td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom">
<input type="image" title="Go" name="go" id="go" src="/images/go.gif" width="22" height="16" border="0" alt="Go" onclick="return childCheck();">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>

Hi,
You could make use of the application build tools avail .You could create a LOV based on the query and then use if while creating a form.You also create dynamic lovs within oracle form.
or you could create a dynamic page with the lov and write a javascript function which on change of the lov would be redirected to some page.
Thanks,
Anu
