Menu component - how to create link to page?

Hi all,
I have a question about the built-in Menu component. I am trying to use the Menu component to build a navigation menu - this means that the menu items must be links to other pages in my portal. And this is what I have trouble with - I cannot get a menu item to be a link to another page.
A Menu item has a link type and a link; the available link types are <none>, "link", "component" and "URL", but neither of them solve the problem. The url/link that I want to put in is of the type /pls/portal/url/page/mypage i.e. its a relative url to a page (without host:port/dad, etc) so that it could be deployed in the QA or PROD portal. The various link types interpret this relative url as follows:
- link: gives error "component does not exist". Is there perhaps a way of refering to my page so that it looks like a component?
- component: this one looks good i.e. the url that shows in the browser status bar seems correct (it prepends the host:port/dad, etc). The problem is that it actually sends the html with all "/" characters replaced by "%2F", which the browser then balks at. So its very close, but not quite. Is there a way to get the real characters (/) instead of "%2F"?
- URL: This one doesn't do the "%2F" story, but it does not prepend the URL with the host:port/dad, etc so it also does not work. Note that if I add host:port etc to the link of the menu item it works fine, but then I have a problem with deploying this to another portal which is a real showstopper. Or is there another way to not hardcode host:port etc.?
- <none> behaves the same as component.
Help please...
Regards.
Anton.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for a very interesting read - I have some additional questions:
- Where do you change the host/port before going to production? Do you edit the "transport set"? This made me think - I'm now going to look for it in metadata - it has to be stored in some table...
BTW our "deployment" consists of essentially copying the complete iasdb (4 schemas) over to the QA/PROD instance! After reading a massive (confusing) doc AND reading all the complaints in the exp/imp forum we also decided its just not worth the pain!
And yes we also have strictly manual procedure for keeping production in sync with dev!
Cheers.
Anton.

  • How to create links to other pages i create??

    I have finished my "homepage" and it has 5 buttons on it.("home",
    "Contact us", etc.).
    I have no idea how to create links to other pages i create.
    For example, if the user clicks on "Contact us", i wnat contact information
    to appear. So, do i create another html document that will contain contact
    information and then call that page whenever the user clicks "Contact us". Or
    do i just create another applet that contains contact information and display
    the applet in the appropriate area, whenever the user clicks "contact us".
    Hope that wasnt confusing. Bascially, I am sitting here looking at my buttons, not knowing
    what code to put under the actionPerfomed part of each button.
    thanx
    trin

    ... judging from your question... the best way i think is to create another page...
    .... so when ur user clicks on Contact Us..... he/she will be taken to another page...
    there are other techniques besides this.... but it is always better to stick with the easiest one
    ... so you need to create separate pages for all of your links....
    ... if you have any questions... let me know
    .... have fun

  • How to create a html page

    Hello,i am very new to dreamweaver 8,and i have searched
    everwhere possible on how to create a html page.My website has a
    navegation bar.And on the navegation bar it has links,like
    forums,your accounts,and etc,but thats already integrated with the
    website.Now i have an option in the admin area,wher i can create a
    new category so that it would show up in the navegation bar,and i
    have a drop down menu where i cans select what to put in that
    category.But also i have an option to put a external url,so that
    when they click on it,it will take them to where that link is
    directed.The point is that i asnt to make a category in the
    navigation menu that says Lirics.So that i can put lirics of songs
    and etc,and that when users click on that link it will take them to
    the lirics page..Do you guys understand?Sorry for the bad english,i
    am now quite good with it..

    The most eloquent description will do nothing for us. To get

    your problem, we must see your code. Can you upload the file
    and post a
    link to it, please?

    Can any body guide me how to create link on particular column of the table view and How can we navigate to another page by clicking on this link ?
    I am filling the internal table (for table view) by z tables. I do not have context node for that.

    use Iterators. In the itarator you can create any BSP Object you wish to.

  • Does anyone here knows how to create a login page thru JDBC?

    Anyone here knows how to create a login page which connect to database thru JDBC but not JDBC-ODBC bridge?

    Hi..pls you'll do people here a great good if you could explain yourself better..!
    Anyway if you are trying to connect to an Oracle Database you dont need the jdbc-odbc bridge as oracle provides a special driver for java applets/applications that is "the thin driver" and the "oci driver"..so if you are connecting to Oracle your connection will look like this:
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); //not sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("blah blah, blah");
    no need for the jdbc-odbc bridge.
    I hope i've answered your question.
    Thanks.

  • How to create a One Page checkout

    Hello nice people,
    Does anybody knows how to create a ONE-PAGE Check Out Process in Online Shop Layout?
    Thanks in advance

    "I can resolve the problem if I can insert one page (or step) after
    "registration - buy". This would be a "summary" page where the customer has
    the last opportunity tu check out all his data and, if it is needed, to
    correct his order, billing address, shipping, the way of payment"
    <<< The only way to do this is with JS. You can use jQuery's .load() method
    to load your cart into the registration layout. You'll have to do some
    parsing of that cart table to obtain things like product name, quantity etc
    and present this in some kind of summary. Parsing tables in jQuery is not a
    nice task, so if you're going to embark onto producing this kind of summary
    you may want to get rid off the table from the cart and simple throw in
    some divs and tags which will help you parse the cart nicely. That mans
    you'll have to construct the layout for the cart though using JS.
    Example of alternative cart layout:
    It renders like this:
    product one
    (S)
    product one
    (M)
    onchange="UpdateItemQuantity(this.value,231502,234492,6737768,183427,'','US');return
    false;" class="cartInputText" type="text" value="1">
    onchange="UpdateItemQuantity(this.value,231502,234492,6737768,183428,'','US');return
    false;" class="cartInputText" type="text" value="3">
    $10.00
    $45.00
    $55.00
    You can see that this is much nicer to read and you can then construct your
    own data structure that will hold this info and render it it whichever way
    you want to. You can even write it back as a table where each product is in
    its own row. You may want to look at something that gives you template.
    model, controller like ember.js.
    Anyway, I hope that helps somewhat.
    Cheers,
    M
