Left side custom navigation

Hi,
We would like to add left side custom navigation in Oracle Webcenter Interaction (ALUI 6.5 version) portal pages. We know the portal offers us to add navigation at the top of the page by adding header. Is there a way we can add left side navigation coverting some space on the left the whole page?
Thanks.

Yep, it is definitely possible.
Through code you have access to communities, pages, sub-communities and related communities.
You need to create a portlet either remotely (.net/java) or through Publisher, code the navigation within it, then set your experience definition "Navigation Options" to "Portlet Ready Navigation" - but only change that once you are content with your portlet navigation as this will wipe out the out of the box nav and you might not be able to access certain things. I don't recommend changing this setting on your admin accounts experience definition out of safety.
Let us know if there is anything in particular you are trying to do.
I recently made a blog post about a new navigation that we are using. We replaced our combo of header and left column navigation with just header navigation and so far folks seem to prefer it. Here is the post:
http://xuexideshengsuo.blogspot.com/2010/12/oracle-webcenter-interaction-page.html
Here is some starter code that might help.
This gets all of the communities a person has added (or that are mandatory) and adds them to the commmenu array.
Then it loops through that array and spits out a link for each one.
<pt:ptdata.mycommunitiesdata pt:id="commmenu"/>
<pt:logic.foreach pt:data="commmenu" pt:var="element">
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$element.url"><pt:logic.value pt:value="$element.title" /></pt:core.html>
</pt:logic.foreach>
This gets all of the pages a person has access to for the community they are currently on and then displays them.
<pt:ptdata.currcommunitypagesdata pt:id="commmenu"/>
<pt:logic.foreach pt:data="commmenu" pt:var="commpg">
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$commpg.url"><pt:logic.value pt:value="$commpg.title"/></pt:core.html>
</pt:logic.foreach>

  • Navigation tabs top and left side

    Hi
    I've never built a site with tabs both across the top as well as the left side.
    across the top is supposed to be the categories and within each category, I want to have the related navigation down the left side.
    is each of the tabs going to end up being a page? if so, how do you make the pages cascade behind each other like file folder tabs?
    or are the tabs going to become links to the various pages?
    how would you set that structure up? I'm looking at the example of the Sushi Bar website in GoLive CS2 but thats not really what I want
    any direction would be great
    thanks
    best, M/

    >or are the tabs going to become links to the various pages?
    Yes, that's likely going to be the way to go if the tabs are the primary navigation. If they were the secondary navigation, might be worth looking into the Spry tabs, or a similar JavaScript option:

  • Hi from few days onwards i found one abnormality in my iphone4s .That is if i observe my phone settings screen from right side of the device top navigation appearing rightside height is more than the left side. In reverse manner from the left side.

    Hi from few days onwards i found one abnormality in my iphone4s .That is if i observe my phone settings screen from right side of the device top navigation bar appearing rightside height is more than the left side. In reverse manner from the left side. I dnt know whether it is default feature of iphone or not but i am really disappointed due to this. So please anyone help me in this issue and let me clear my doubt and make me happy. Thanks in advance.

    I believe what you are seeing is an optical illusion when viewing the screen from the side. Try to align one of the one of the options in Settings, like General, with the navigation bar you'll see it does the same thing.
    Hope that helps

  • Best approach -Tabs based ADF Tree left side navigation with Dynamic Regions with out UI Shell

    Hi,
    Somebody can help for the best approach to implement the following requirement.
    Req: When the user select the ADF Tree left side navigation menu, each menu will open as multiple tabs(Dynamic Tabs) in right side content area with out UI Shell Template.
    I completed the
    Step-1: From the Model project, I can able to render ADF Tree in the using view and view links. I can get the adf tree which is having 3 menu items. Each menu item having 2 sub menu's.
    I took each menu item as one(1) taskflow, each taskflow will have two(2) fragments.
    Total I have 3 task flows as Menu Items and 6 fragments for sub menu's.
    Step-2:  My question is How do I implement Tab based the ADF tree navigation (left side area to dynamic regions in content area) through dynamic regions? Please provide the steps in view layers.

    Than ks for your response.
    This is working fine for ADF Tree navigation with dynamic regions if the taskflow having only one fragment. if the taskflow having more than one fragments, this will not work. The following conditions are always satisfies one page fragment of either "employees" or "departments" task flow.  If the "employees" task flow have 2 page fragments, it's not work even you pass parameters through routers.
    public TaskFlowId getDynamicTaskFlowId() {
    if (currentTaskFlowID == null ||
    currentTaskFlowID.equalsIgnoreCase(“employees”)) {
    return TaskFlowId.parse(employeetaskFlowId);
    if (currentTaskFlowID != null &&
    currentTaskFlowID.equalsIgnoreCase(“departments”)) {
    return TaskFlowId.parse(departmetaskFlowId);
    return TaskFlowId.parse(employeetaskFlowId);
    My question is "Same use case with Dynamic Tabs" when the user click on any adf tree node.

    If your portal server IP Address is say 1.2.3.4 and the port no. is 50000
    you are right now accessing portal through http://1.2.3.4:50000/irj
    Now what you need to do is
    go to run command type drivers. When it opens go to etc folder. then hosts file
    there make an entry like
    1.2.3.4 epdev

  • Best way of having left-side navigation menu?

    Hello Folks,
    I'm interested in developing an application using JSP and the design requirement is that it should have a left-side navigation menu. Is there an Oracle recommended way of doing this or should I resort to using DHTML? In addition, please let me know if you have any suggestions.
    Thanks!

    You have two parts in your question: left side navigation menu;
    You can define and use templates (HTML Templates) for your Pages in the Portal to structure your pages, such that Navigation or navigational tools can be placed on the page wherever you like. That is for the positioning of the navigational tools.
    To define your navigational tools (menus, for eg), you may still use DHTML and/or a combination of other methods.
    hope that helps!

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

  • Turning the left side navigation on and off dynamically

    I need to have the navigation on the left side turn on and off pending what community the current user is it. I can do this (kind of) by creating a class implementing NavigationCommonVerticalView and IView. My over riding methods check the community ID and return null need be.
    The problem is that whatever class is calling this still creates a table cell with a width of 200 for the navigation bar wether it is there or not. I imagine I can fix this one of two ways.
    1 - Set the cell width to be 0 all the time. When there is content the browser should force this to be expanded. I however can not find this setting anywhere
    2 - Override the class that calls my NavigationCommonVerticalView class. Hopefully this will provide a mechanism to turn that cell of completely. However I have not determined what class this. I thought it might be "com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.myportal.myPortal" by when I try to override this class, I can not get it to load at startup by adding it to the customActivitySpaces.xml file.
    Please help.

    Hi Jeff,
    Unfortunately, there is currently no setting to allow you to set the cell width.
    In our next release there is a setting available in NavigationSettings.xml. Also, the page checks to see if the value returned from the Display method of your View is null before inserting a cell for the View's content.
    The only thing that you could do before the next release would be to override com.plumtree.portalpages.common.uiparts.PlumtreeDP. I hesitate to suggest doing this because PlumtreeDP controls the display of almost all pages in the portal.

  • HT2473 Customizing top left side menubar of the screen

    Is there a way to customize the menubar on the top left side of the screen? Sometimes it gets too long, and I don't even use them.

    This area is NOT customizable
    This area IS (see your [Help] menu for specific Browser instructions)
    The above is Drag & Drop = typical Firefox or any robust browser

  • 'Stop' icon (no text) will not display if beside address on left side.

    I customized Nav tool bar by moving all icons to left end and in 'Show' picked icons only (no text). The 'Stop' icon is there while Customize is open but when 'Done' is clicked, 'Stop' icon disappears. You can put the 'Stop' icon anywhere else and it remains, but not next to the left side of address. How can I fix this?

    That is intended. You only see the Bookmarks Menu button if the menu bar is hidden.
    Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />
    <br />
    You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).<br />
    You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.
    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.
    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Customizing navigation page under 11.5.8

    We are trying to implement BIS under 11.5.8.
    We have custom responsibilities under which we want to display links to Discoverer Reports.
    Eg : Finance(Discoverer) is a custom responsibility and once a user gives this responsibility to themselves, then on the navigation page we would like to provide links (URLs) to discoverer reports.
    I think this has to do with configuring Portal.
    Can anyone please guide me with documentation or steps ?
