Maximum role in top level navigation

Hi

thanks & regards
chitta

Chitta,
Its Possible to assign number of roles to an user.
A role represent the users responsiblity for his job.
It means if a portel user is a developer he can have administration roles such as
Content Admin, System Admin, User Admin ..etc.
If the Portal user is end user means he need not to have Admin roles. Likewise
a user can have number of meanful roles.

Creating a dropdown for Roles in Top Level Navigation

Hi,
I am trying to customize the com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.par file.
Can anybody please help me to create a dropdown for various roles in the portal,if the user clicks on the first role in the Top Level Navigation ,he should see a dropdown list with worksets of the role.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks

Hello Art Tech,
I hope I understand you right. You want to change the appearance of the custom built TLN according to the currently chosen portal theme, just like the standard TLN would change its appearance.
Well, if so, then there are two ways:
1) The HTML and styles/classes of your custom built TLN are still more or less the same as in the standard or you can at least reuse most of the standard HTML output/structure, then applying a new theme would also affect your custom TLN.
2) You have your own HTML output for the TLN, not relying on anything from the standard TLN, and you most probably work with a custom stylesheet file (e.g. "tln.css"). What you have to do then is to provide a set of TLN stylesheet files for each portal theme you want to support and include it accordingly by retrieving the current theme's name via the ILafService (Look & Feel Service). Or you rely on only one CSS file, then have as many "blocks" of styles (marked with a preceding class selector like in e.g. ".themeNameA ul li a " and ".themeNameB ul li a ") as you have themes, and put a bracket around the TLN-output with class="currentThemeName". For this last approach I give you the sample code (assuming you want to support the themes "SAP Standard", "SAP Tradeshow" and "SAP Chrome"):
The TLN code: tln.jsp
><%@ taglib uri="NavigationTagLibrary" prefix="nav" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.laf.*" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntime" %>
><%
>// include the TLN stylesheet
>response.include(componentRequest, componentRequest.getResource("css", "css/tln.css"));
>
>// retrieve the current theme's technical name
>ILAFService iLAFService = (ILAFService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(ILAFService.KEY);
>String currentTheme = iLAFService.getCurrentTheme(componentRequest).getThemeName();
>%>
>
><div class="<%=currentTheme%>">
> <ul>
> <nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
>    <li><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
>    
>    </li>
> </nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
> </ul>
></div>
The stylesheet: tln.css
>.sap_standard ul li {background-color:#FFCCCC}
>.sap_standard ul li a
>
>.sap_tradeshow ul li {background-color:#CCCCFF}
>.sap_tradeshow ul li a
>
>.sap_chrome ul li {background-color:#CCCCCC}
>.sap_chrome ul li a
I hope this solves your problems.

Roles in top level navigation - display order

Hi,
how it is possible to define the order of display roles in the top level navigation?
If I add roles to a user in user administration the system automatically sort the roles. In this order the roles appear in top level navigation.
I want to define my own order. How is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Andreas

HI
it is absolutely possible using sort priority
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/92/3e703e632c7937e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
but keep in mind that it is valid for all user.

Show/Hide tabs in top level navigation of a role based on assigned services

Hi,
I have an interesting requirement. I have created an overview page in abap web dynpro which has links to various services.
Based on the r3 roles assigned to the user, we need to show/hide the services in the overview page and top level navigation.
I can show/hide the views in the overview page but the links on top level navigation are created in the portal frontend by creating worksets, iviews, etc.
Is there a way I can show or hide these worksets which are defined in the role on top level navigation?
In a nutshell, can i update the visible/invisible property of a java workset from a call in abap web dynpro?
Regards,
Sumeet

Please refer the framework page [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm]
What i meant was that you can do a custom TLN like this
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm]
Seems to me java/jsp is more appropriate than doing it via WDA.
ANother way that you might look into this is Application integrator which again java programming effort needed.

Show a menu of roles in the Top Level Navigation

Hello,
Imagine a scenario where a user has many roles assigned to him (say 40 roles). In that case the user will have 40 tabs in the first level of the top level navigation and by default a horizontal scroller appears on the right part of the screen clicking on which the roles will scroll horizontally. If the user has to go to the 40th role he has to click quite a lot.
Is it possible to have a menu option clciking on which we get the all the list of roles in the top level navigation in a vertical list and we can directly jump to any role clicking on the entry in the list ?
Something like what we get in a tab strip in Web Dynpro.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have menus as you wish .
Look at the following links
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85

You need to work on navigation tag libraries to extend number of levels .
The above inks helps you only for single level of navigation.

Hide Top level navigation if user assigned only one role

Hi,
I would like to hide the top level navigation if user assigned with only one role.
I can create role based rule to show desktop using Master rule collection, but is it possible by doing to with role count.
If user has multiple roles show desktop1 else show desktop2

not sure if this possible ,you may check feasibility of creating a application which checks user role count and if role count is = 1 load the Portal url (URL alais) which had TLN iview invisible in the same window else do nothing and load the portal with the desktop which has tln.
Put the application in framewrk page which has TLN visible.
create a URL alias and create a desktop -framework page which dont have TLN ,assign this desktop to this URL alias in rule collection set its priority before user conditions check in rule collection so that it has high priority before user or group check in rule collection.
you can create a poc in sandbox and check if it wiorks?

Display Icon/Image instead of Role name in top level navigation

Hi,
I want to display a image / icon instead of role name for a particular role. Can you please tell me how to achieve this ?
Thanks,
VP

Hi,
the thread is just for the background image (for all elements).
if you want to display icons instead of role names, you have to create your custom top level navigation using the
navigation taglib from SAP. There are lots of examples. make a blog search for Mr "Kannengiesser" from SAP.
In case you are using already an EHPx in your EP 7.0 the AJAX framework might have this feature.

How to hide name of Role from the top level navigation of the portal

Hi Experts,
In my project, I have created 2 roles Role A and Role B. These roles have been assigned to User X.
When user X logs in, he is able to see name of role that is 'A' in the top level navigation.
As per the requirement, user X should not see the 'A'.
Rather user X should see following:
Top Level Navigation: 'My Work'
When user clicks on 'My Work', he should see
'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2'.
After that under 'My Sub Work1' user should see following
All Objects of Role A
All Objects of Role B
Name of role i.e. 'A' or 'B' should not be displayed at all at any place in navigation.
Only whatever objects has been assigned to Role A and B should be displayed in detailed navigation area.
Can you please let me know how to achieve this?
Pictorial Diagram:
                  My Work       (In top level navigation)
My Sub Work1    My Sub Work2    (In top level navigation)
_________Objects of role
A
       |
       |_________Objects of role
                               B
Please note that 'My Work' and 'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2) are not roles. They are just the name of folders.
Can you please let me know how to achieve it?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Try the following steps.
1. Change the 'Entry Point' property of Roles A and B to 'No'.
2. Create a role folder called 'My Work' under A and B.
3. Set the 'Entry point' property of this folder to 'Yes'.
4. Set the 'merge id' property of the folder as "mywork" (or any other string) under both roles A and B.
5. Under 'My Work' in Role A,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 50.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work1' and create all your objects.
6. Under 'My Work' in Role B,
a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 100.
b. create subfolder 'My sub work2' and create all your objects.
7. Make sure the user is assigned both the roles A and B. Only then he/she can see objects of both the roles.
8. One thing to remember while merging folders is that, all the entities that are being merged should be at the same level. For eg: in our case, you cannot merge 'my subwork1' in role A, with 'my work' in role B.

Roles and Worksets are indicated several times in Top-level-navigation.

Hallo Experts,
I dont understand why the Roles and Worksets in the Top-level-navigation are displayed several times. How can I change that?
Thank you very much
regards,
Galyna

Hi,
Which roles do you see several times?
If it is the home tab than you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
If under the Home you see for example the Company, Work, Team... worksets twice than again you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
If these are administrative roles than might have assigned yourself these roles through multiple groups/roles assignments.
If you will say exactly which roles/worksets you see several times we will be able to help more efficiently.

Customized Top Level Navigation iView

Hello to all
We are using a customized TLN iview. Its source code was modified to admit different URLs, and do the filtering depending of the default framework page which is using the TNL iview,
I mean, the TLN would be copied inside a proyect folder on the Portal Content, where would be a DFPage that contains a copy of TNL iview, and this copy would have a different roleFilter attribute.
Then, the TLN was modified again in order to merge roles that had the same name.
Those changes doesn't seem really important, they have just declared some vars, and each of them added one code line. The first one extended the first part of an IF condition, and the second one extended it with another condition, using OR.
The problem is that after the modifications, our TLN doesn't highlight correctly the first node when accessing or refreshing the Portal, instead of it shows a default start page that doesn't belong to any of our roles
The TLN iview has a procedure named PrintNavNodes, which is called on the event OnClick (I assume), and when we accessrefresh the page too.
The iview works well when clicking its buttons, it's just the first time it is used when the wrong page is shown, that's the problem we need to correct.
This procedure (PrintNavNodes) lodges the code changes. The only var modified is String prefix, so maybe anyone could tell me a default value to it, o a way to catch that mistake in order to show another page when the default page is to appear.
Also, I would appreciate if anyone knows about an API, andor a How to... manual, or any kind of documentation about this subject.
We have no possibility of reject the changes, so we need to find an alternative solution. Here is the code...
Thanks in advance, and regards

How to start Top-Level Navigation on Level two?

Hi,
does anyone known a trick how i can start the top-level navigation at Level two?
I make an own frameworkpage and try to set it in the iview properties, but there is not an property for this. it is only for the detailed-navigation iView there.
For what:
I need this, because i would open an pop-up with an other portal window. I link to the popup with navigation-target=... In this pop-up should only be the content of one role. This folder i have set to "invisible in the navigation area". So the User always see him in a popup. when i start at the default Top-navigation level 1, the user see all the other navigation folders.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
up to SPS13, this needs some hands on on different parts of the TLN. What I've done this spring was showing all top-level nav targets within a select box in the masthead and then, after having selected one of these entries, the TLN shows just the content of this top level entry. So this is more or less the same. As said, some work to do.
As of SPS14, with the new navigation taglib, I expect this to be much less work; anyhow, I didn't convert the results into SPS14, so I cannot say if this is really as easy as I expect.
Hope it helps

Tab in Top Level Navigation is not highlighted when clicked on

Hi guys,
We have 1 problem in EP 6.0:
I create 1 iview(testiview), and attached to the role(testrole), assigned to 1 user, then login with that user. In top level navigation, i am able to see the role(testrole) in top level navigation, but after i clicked, the tab for this role is not highlighted, but the content of iview is displayed,
Any one knows what happened?
Thanks!
Guo Feng

Hi Guo
You have created one role and added one iView under it.
now can u tell which one you made as entry point.
if Role is the entry point are you getting the iView link in the DTN ?
If you made iView as entry point and then you r getting the content in content area and the iView link in the top.
i think the second one happens...
Check the role and iView properties .
Make the Role as entry point..
Cheers

undo the changes what you have done.
after you logon to the portal try the url below...this should take you to content admin directly from there modify the framework page and reset the property of TLN
http://yourserver:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=pcd%3Aportal_content%2Fadministrator%2Fsuper_admin%2Fsuper_admin_role%2Fcom.sap.portal.content_administration%2Fcom.sap.portal.content_admin_ws%2Fcom.sap.portal.portal_content&iview_mode=default
