Language dropdown in Portal Masthead

Is it possible to add a language dropdown in the masthead of the portal, wiht predetermined languages?
This would be for existing users to change language on the fly.
If possible, will it change the language in the user's profile?
On the same note, is it possible to verify on language in the MasterRule of the Portal?
I'm on EP7 SP09 ...

Hi Maurice,
yes it is, and it's very easy... well, almost.
You will need to modify an SAP component named
com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par
... and there you will create your new object (the dropdown).
Of course you will need to code:
- the events
- how to render the dropdown (HTMLB for example)
- user validation and updating the user setting
This is a good link that gives you a brief intro on how to start developing your solution:

You can also check more on SDN, try searching for
com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par
Good Luck!
Kindest Regards

Language dropdown in Masthead iView

Hello All,
Fllowing is the weblog which has described about how to show language dropdown for anonymous users.
SP12/SP20: Portal Localization for Anonymous Users
My requirement is:
Even though user is authenticated user, we want to show the language dropdown to change the user language.
I know we can change this user language from personalization link if user is authenticated. But, we want dropdown to be shown on the masthead iView.
I have changed masthead iView JSP application and i was able to display the dropdown even though user is authenticated.
On dorpdown element, we have onSelect event and on this event, I am calling one Javascript function called, "onSelect_Language". Somehow this function is not being called.
For testing, I have written code to show alert only.
So, it should show the alert and i can confirm whether function is being called.
But, i am not getting any alert.
Can you please help me?

Hi,
The same type of drop down we can set it in the logon page easily.
Make it available in logon page and try to change it to masthead using the same code.
I never tried.
We created the below fuction for different reason check it once may be usefull
     Create a javascript/ directory in the par structure
     Add the file customBranches.js in this directory
Edit the file PORTAL-INF/jsp/HeaderiView.jsp in order to call the Branch Dropdown.
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "Navigate", pop);
Check this sample refresh function with alert.
                       _refreshPage: function() {
           try {
             frameworkSupport.refreshContentArea();
           } catch(e) {
             document.location.reload()
Thanks and Regards,

How to Update Function Link Text in Portal MastHead

Can someone please advise the steps to control the link text in the Function section of the Portal MastHead (e.g. Log Off, Help, etc...).
Thanks for your help!
Scott

If you just want to remove these simple links, you do this within the configuration of the masthead iView:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/97/d4ee3d6434445ae10000000a11405a/content.htm
If you want to change the functions within the portal personalisation:
Look in the 'Portal Personalization' workset of the 'eu_role' . Im assuming that you have the eu_role assigned to the everybody built in standard group.
This workset has all the options within that list.
¡        Portal Theme (page)
¡        Portal Language (page)
¡        User Mapping (page)
¡        User Mapping (Remote iViews) (page)
¡        User Password (page)
¡        User Profile (page)
¡        WorkProtect Mode (page)
You can modify this, or copy it and modify it as you please.

Localization of Languages in SAP Portal 7.3

Hello Folks,
We have implemented SAP Portal 7.3 and want to include local Indian Languages (Hindi, Marathi etc) for the users. We referred the SAP Help Portal for customizing languages applicable for older portal versions
Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/49/e607426338da6fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm]
From the link above, we searched for an .EAR (com.sap.security.core.admin.730.ear) and .WAR (com.sap.security.core.useradmin.war) files respectively for any of the standard properties file supplied with standard implementation. But, we did not get such files.
Kindly suggest/guide us to any documentation/help available to find the required files in the SAP Portal 7.3 version. Or is there a change in language customization from Portal 7.3?
Regards,
Rahul Juneja

Dear Rahul,
Hindi language is not yet available in portal. You can check the below
link to see which are the Languages supported.
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/languages
You have to create your own Language Bundles to implement hindi,
But as of now hindi is not supported.
Can you please go through the Sap Note 1013521.

Documentation missing about iView properties of com.sap.portal.masthead

Hi,
I configure the available links in the portal masthead. When switching "Show Link in Masthead: Help Center" (property ID: ShowHelpCenterLink) from "No" to "Yes" I get the link "Help Center" in the portal header, but when clicking the link nothing happens.
Is there any documentation how to use/implement this feature?
Best regards,
Johannes

Hi Keshari
I already provided a valid URL but this URL is only being launched when I choose the property "Show Link in Masthead: Help" (ID: ShowHelpLink).
What I noticed is that when I click on the "Help Center" link in the header, the currently displayed page gets compressed creating about 1/3rd empty space on the page on the right hand side.
How can I configure that help gets displayed in this area?
For "help center" I only found some ABAP-related documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/c2/00976e34ef4397b082acb7d934d373/frameset.htm) which does not contain any Portal related configuration.

Increasing the height of the Portal Masthead ?

Hello, I'm new to SAP EP. Wonder if any of you experts can assist. We're currently implementing EP version 7.0.
How do I adjust the height of the masthead (we are increasing the size of our logo on the masthead and consequently we will need to increase the height of the masthead)?

hi,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e549a890-0201-0010-3f8b-d3b852457ebd
Go through this pdf. you need to create a new desktop by applying new desktop framework page and themes as specified in the guide. Before that in portal go to System administration -> portal display -> desktops & display rules. In that select a theme and save as 'new theme' for example. When you click 'new theme', preview opens. In it select 'portal masthead', under which there is an option 'Masthead Height'.
In it you can specify the height in terms of px in accordance with your height of the logo. You can even insert a new logo from the 'url to logo' option under it.
Save the theme and this is the new theme which you should assign it to new desktop.
Hope it helps...
Revert back if you have any doubts.
