Link to Folder in Folder Portlet

We display our folder contents within a portlet. It's important that all of those links present their contents in the portlet. This typically works.
However, if an item is linking to another folder, the link presents its content on the entire page, not within the portlet.
How can I link from one folder to another and keep the result within my portlet?

Luke,
For inplace display, use parameter passing. The only drawback is that the parameters will be seen in the address bar.
You will need to use an intermediate handler procedure, which accepts your folder display call and builds the page URL
with the parameters attached. In your folder portlet, use wwpro_api* to get the parameters.
Check out the parameter passing portlet for tips on how to implement parameter passing in plsql portlets.

Link to content area from a folder portlet

We have deployed a folder portlet and a perspective portlet on a portal page. Each portlet is part of a small region on the page and rather than navigate through the folders in the portlet, we want to open the folder in the content area. So when a user selects the folder link in the folder portlet, the folder in the content area is opened.
At present the sub-folders are displayed in the small portlet region until we select an item which opens in a new window...
Thanks

Unfortunately, the only way to do this would be to not show the sub-folder region and add URL items in another region that link to the folder page in question.

No, there is no way around this limitatin at this time.

Layout of folder portlets

When I display a folder portlet on a page a category linkon a banner and a link showing the path to where I am are automatically created. Is there any way I can remove these links/banner? I would really appreciate to get an answer ASAP. Thanks.

Unfortunately "page" or "line" layout options are the only ones available from the Sun RI. I found that out the hard way last week.
There are a couple of options. The MyFaces (tomahawk) checkbox component supports a "grid" layout. Although I did not use that option, it might be worth trying if you want to go that route.
I ended up extending the Sun RI renderer for both checkboxes and radio buttons. It's not too difficult, especially if you're using Facelets (no tag class required). Extending an RI renderer is risky because new versions can break your subclass, but it's a fairly easy solution if you're willing to put up with that risk.
I posted some brief notes on my solution. It's not complete, but it should be enough to get you started.

Oracle Seeded Providers Shared Objects Folder Portlet

Hi,
I was wondering if there was an api, or some other way of setting the folder that will be displayed in the Folder portlet in the Oracle Seeded Providers: Share Objects area.
Thanks,
Tom

I was able to find the API for this. I was able to use the wwpre_api_value API. I have two issues still. The first is with setting the value for titleid though the API.
The second is when I login as the user I'm testing, there is nothing in the folder portlet. If I click on the customize link, the folder I try to set with the API is in the pop-up window. So it seems like I'm setting almost everything correctly since it is seeing what I set in the pop-up window, but I'm missing something because it's not making it all the way to the portlet.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Tom

How to import catalog and create new link to folder in a new external disk

I lost my data in my laptop. I have a back-up into an external hd. Now I would like to import the catalog and change the link of folder to external disk

You can open the backup of your catalog file by copying it to wherever you want it to be and then double-click on it.
You would have to re-link all the photos inside of Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

How to link c-Folder with DMS?

Hello,
I'm a new in this tool and i would like to know somethings.
1) What the Object Type i use to link c-Folder with DMS?
2) Can I do this if I install C-Folder in a separate server other than SAP R/3?
Regards
Pedro Sasso

Hi,
DO you mean via the 'Object Linking' feature in DMS?
If yes, please ensure that the 'c-projects Elements' object has been selected for the particular document type in DC10.
Also, to view the attached DIR in c-projects, ensure that the RFC is established b/w c-projects and DMS.
Yes..you can,since c-Folders has functionality of maintaining public and private collaboration scenarios so c-Folders is being used to communicate between Suppliers and Vendors.
c-Folders is not like webDMS, it is a separate application for which the link can be created from portal itself.
In c-Folders user ID and password can be created which need not have any licenses.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks

Creating links to folder resources in XDB repository

Hi,
I have a problem with creating links to folder resources in Oracle XDB repository, especially when I delete child resources from the linked folder or the linked folder itself.
For instance, if I have the following two resources:
/public/folder1/mydocument.xml
/public/folder2
and then create a link to folder1 within folder2 like this:
begin
dbms_xdb.link('/public/folder1', '/public/folder2', 'mylinkedfolder');
end;
and then delete the resource from the linked folder, like this:
delete from path_view where equals_path('/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument.xml') = 1;
the resource 'mydocument.xml' is completely removed from the database, from both locations. The manual states that: "Deletion of a link deletes the resource pointed to by the link if and only if that was the
last link to the resource and the resource is not versioned." Before executing the delete statement the following query gives two results (links):
select path from path_view where resid = <<resid of mydocument.xml>>
The statements:
begin
dbms_xdb.deleteresource('/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument.xml', dbms_xdb.DELETE_RECURSIVE_FORCE);
end;
and:
delete from path_view where path = '/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument1.xml'
result in the same behavior. Also, when I remove the folder '/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder', the document mydocument.xml is also removed from both locations.
Is this behavior expected behavior? Is there another way to get the behavior that is described in the manual?
Thanks,
Maarten

Removing the second link to the folder should not delete the contents unless you specify delete recursive when doing so.. See below

Disappering content in folder portlets (3.0.9)

I built a page with multiple (3) levels of tabs. On the lower level of these tabs folder portlets and portlets of content areas folders are defined. When developing all looks well in that session and so all content is shown correctly.
When I log in later with any user, so also as the owner of the page and content, the folder portlets won´t show up! But when I edit the page and hide and unhide the portlets in most times the missing show up again.
Help me understand the problem and find a solution.
Thanx, Dolf-Jan Mulder

May be a problem with caching. I suggest you report this problem to Oracle support for assistance in determining the problem. But first, make sure that you have applied all the 3.0.9 patch sets available on Metalink.

Rewrite Portal Folder Portlet

I am trying to rewrite the Oracle Portlet Folder Portlet to add the simple functionality of showing the last Update Time of each item/folder that the portlet is displaying.
Has anyone done this already? Any words of wisdom in pursuing this? Why the heck does Oracle have to wrap all their code? Is this a realistic thing to attempt?
Thanks for any comments or feedback.
Daniel Wintschel

James/Daniel,
Any luck finding anything on this? I'm about to do the same thing (we need to display just a little bit more on each item than the out-of-the-box components will let me do), so if this has already been done and I can just "borrow" the code, that would be great!

Linking to individual custom database portlets

When we create menu items in Portal normally we can link to an individual form or report component created in oracle portal and exposed via url for show or other routine. We need to setup menu items each to link to our custom database portlets. Is there any API or any other way of invoking this programatically?
For e.g. if I have a portlet helloworld_portlet can I invoke helloworld_portlet.show directly? Any examples would help.
Also there are undocumented API's to link to tabs or to pages or via query of sbr views. Are there any documented API's to link to tabs or subtabs?

Hi,
I dont think what you want is possible, the whole idea of a portlet is that its part (building block) of a page and not being a webpage by itself.
There are perhaps some workarounds
- try displaying the portlet in detail modus
- perhaps create a hybrid portlet, that is a servlet & portlet at the same time
In one of my portlets im also linking to a portlet on another page. I keep the durable link of the page where the second portlet resides as a setting in my database

How to turn off linking on folder when publishing it as portlet

when I publish a folder as a portlet. The display name of the
portlet becomes a link. I just want to display the folder items
under the name rather than have a link on the name. It confuses
the users and looks weird. How do I turn it off?

You'll have to wait for the next release. The only solution in
the current release is to turn off portlet headers in the region.

Jerry

Folder Portlet will not display edit (or anything else)

I am portal30.
I created a new content area.
I clicked the "Edit Root Folder" link of my content area, and published it as a Portlet.
I created a new page.
I added my newly created content area as a portlet to the page.
I saved my page.
WHen I view the page (as Portal30), the page is blank where my content area should be displayed.
Can you give me some hints. I have been playing around for a while and can't "get it right".
Thanks!

Hi
U got to check the 'Access' settings under 'Edit Root Folder', u have to give appropriate access rights to enable the users to view/edit the content area.
Hope this helps

Link to Folder

Is there a "service" that allows me to click on a file and copy the url location for that file/folder and then paste in a document? I see a service to "Open URL" but his opens the particular file. I have various files located on a local server that I want to send a link via ichat to employees so that they can quickly access the file. It would be nice to have some way to copy the file's location (file://server/folder1/file.pdf) and paste in the chat instead of having to manually type the info. Is this possible?
Thanks

you can make a finder plugin using the following automator workflow
1. get selected finder items.
2. run shell script:
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"
done
3. run apple script
on run {input, parameters}
set the clipboard to input as text
end run
as i said, save it as finder plugin. now select a file/folder in Finder, right-click and drill down to select your plugin. This will copy the path to the selected object to the system clipboard. You can now paste it where you want to.

Link to folder on server from PDF

I'm trying to create a link within my interactive PDF (created in InDesign CS6) to a specific folder location on my company's server, in order to direct users to a set of logos. I've tried using an afp:// link to the folder but I get an error message telling me that Acrobat does not allow connection. Any ideas?

Don't think it can be done.
Best to upload the logos to your website and then insert the link to download them directly.
You can put an image of each logo and text like
[LOGO]
Screen/Web/Office
Printers
And provide jpegs/ai etc. files for them to download.
