Modifying Knowledge Directory

One of the requirements made by our users for the new version of our portal is the displaying of the file size in the knowlegde directory (it's very useful for those of them who use dial-up connections, according to them anyway).
Another thing they want is that we display a directory tree in the knowledge directory, just like Windows Explorer.
Are those things even possible? Isn't the knowledge directory managed by the portal itself?
Thanks in advance

It is not possible to do any folder operations in the Knowledge Directory directly. If you want to do so, you will have to use the actual Portal API code.
We wanted to do this in our system but found out the hardway that it can't be done with the EDK.

Error occurred while publishing the content item to the Knowledge Directory

We are receiving the following error upon publishing non-binary content items to the knowledge directory:
Error occurred while publishing the content item to the Knowledge Directory. Contact your portal administrator.
Ironically, in the KD, we call see all content items located in Publisher when we are in Edit mode -- even though they haven't been published to the KD yet. In Browse mode, we can't see any content items.
Has anyone see this error before? What could be the cause?
We are using ALUI 6.1.

Hi,
If you are seeing the documents in the Knowledge Directory and in edit mode, but not browse mode then check/try the following. What exactly were you doing when you got the error? Were you in Publisher or in the Knowledge Directory and running the Simple Submit task?:
1. Try to approve the documents in edit mode.
2. Go to the Administrative->Intrinsic Operations and run the following jobs.
--> Search Update 1
3. Make sure you have proper permissions on the folder in the Knowledge Directory and Publisher Folders.
4. Check the permissions on the Content Source for the Knowledge Directory
I need a little more information to get your better help.
tnx
James

How to get user name of user who uploaded to the Knowledge Directory?

Greetings,
How can I find out who uploaded a document to the Knowledge Directory?
My users want to know who uploaded the documents they are viewing in the KD. I hope there is some option other then creating "Related Experts" for each folder.
The Collab. Server displays the user who uploaded the documents.
Thanks in advance,Justin

May be you can try to use WHEN-CREATE-RECORD trigger.
Description
Fires when Oracle Forms creates a new record. For example, when the operator presses the [Insert] key, or navigates to the last record in a set while scrolling down, Oracle Forms fires this trigger. Definition Level form or block

Modifying destination Directory of Application server for Open Hub

Hi All,
i want to load a csv file on application server using Open Hub.
when i have created the open hub i have specified the server name, the file name and the directory.
but the Basis guys told me that i should use another directory, they have created me a Unix Directory but the problem that i can't modify the directory path in my open hub.
can you tell me please what is the problem?
another question why i can't modify directly in Production System this parameter of server name, directory for open hub,
in production i can create the open hub but when i have transported some one from dev to prod i can't modify in prod, i have controlled from transport tool the possibility of modication object and i see that for opne hub is "original modificable"
Thanks for your help

i have read in some forum that to " to change the server name or logical file name we can do so in the following table:
RSBFILE"
i tried to see the data of this table and i found 2 records for my open hub, 1 for Active version and 1 for Modified version
i tried here to change the path name of the directory and after saving the system give me the message that the active version and the modified version of my open hub are not equal, when i try to activate again my open hub the system take the old
directory path.
is this is the right table to change the directory path on application server of my open hub? or there is another table?
i don't work with logical filename, i work with file name and directory path name.
thanks for your help

Setting Approving content only to be seen in knowledge directory

Hi- We are trying to implement the workflow of the content server V6.1 to allow publishing content to the document directory. We have set up a workflow , with the initiator step and an approval and publishing step (2 steps ) If the user performs the publishing to directory from the information tab before approving the document, users can see the un-approved document in the knowledge directory.If the user performs the approve function, the workflow ends without the ability to publish, unless we will allow publishing on the first step. Is there a way to set up the flow to allow only approved content to be seen in the knowledge directory ?

Yes, this is likely to be an understood problem. Im guessing this is a cluster install (which is where the problem normally occurs) - in which case the .../SYS/... directory does not exist on the local server.
You need to go into System Administration --> System Configuration then into Knowledge Management --> Content Management.
In here go into Repository Managers - File System Repository. This is the /etc/ repository where all the images etc are stored. You need to complete correctly the Root directory which should be somthing like:
//<cluster share>/<share directory>/<SID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc
and because its a cluster it MUST be read only. If its not a cluster install then please let the forum know and we can consider other possible solutions. Oh, and dont forget that the portal nodes must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Thanks.

Using PRC to Search Community Knowledge Directory

The EDK Version is 5.1Will the PRC search the community knowledge directory? I have a folder in a community knowledge directory. The ID of the folder is 220 and it contains a number of links. Again, it does not appear that the Search.PRC allow me to return the contents of this folder. Would you happen to have any sample code to perform this task?

How to determine if the current page is a "Community Knowledge Directory"

I am creating a new Navigation Scheme and I was wondering if anybody has figure out how to test to see if the current page the user is on is a "Community Knowledge Directory" page or not. What I am trying to do is display a different background color when the user lands on a page in a horizontal tab navigation. I've noticed that there is a control=SetSiteMap in URL when ever the user lands on the Community Knowledge Directory. Is that what I should be checking for?

Viewing group members in Community Knowledge Directory

Does anyone happent o know the permissions requried to allow users to view the members of Groups listed in the members folder of a Community Knowledge Directory?
This ability is currently only available to members of the Administrators group but we'd like other community members to be able to list the individuals belonging to a group membership as listed in the Community KD. All users can view the list of group memberships but the groups are only hyperlinked enabled for members of the portal Administrators group
thanks

In its current form, the Search: This Communityfunctionality isn't very conducive to our needs. Along the same lines as Jeffrey, we'd like to be able to limit the types of objects the community searches return. (For info on what objects are returned by community search, check out this KB article: http://portal.plumtree.com/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_282292_575916_0_0_18/items_returned_by_community_search.htm)We'd like to return only documents and document folders manually added by the community owner to the Community Knowledge Directory and exclude users and communities and other types of objects from the Search: This Community results. I'm also hoping there's some kind of config file that sets which types of objects to return or turns certain portions of the Community KD on or off. Plumtree, can you provide info?

Storing links to WMV in Knowledge Directory...Possible to not parse?

When i add a wmv to the knowledge directory, the portal attempts to parse the video (supposedly for the search index).
My WMV video is 160MB, and I get: Extended Error Message: Exception of type System.OutOfMemoryException was thrown.
Can't i juat add it as a card to the KD without the portal trying to download it first?

now its coming back to me...
So i wanted WMV videos to have their own icon, so i created a content type called Windows Media Video File which uses the Document Accessor "File Accessor"
Then in the content type map i have
File Type: *.wmv -> Windows Media Video File
MIME Type: video/x-ms-wmv -> Windows Media Video File
Is there a way I can keep my custom WMV icon on my videos and still categorize them as non-indexed format?

Community Members and Knowledge Directory Link

Hi,
I'm using the support centre nav scheme but can't get the 'Community Members and Knowledge Directory' link to appear (the one that appears like an extra community page).
I've set the property in the Community Wizard but that doesn't work. And I've tried to do it by amending the code for the nav scheme, but can't get it to appear. It appears to be the way the page links are generated in the nav scheme code, but this link isn't a page. And I can't figure out how it's generated in the native nav scheme code.
Anyone got this to work, or have any ideas about to get it work?
Thanks in advanceDavin

I believe the support centre navigation does not display the knowledge directory link. You would need to add it yourself. The GetCurCommPages call on CommunityNavPage will give you the Community pages inside the current community and the knowledge directory link. If you just want the knowledge directory link without the mypages, you would need to create it yourself. Look in GetCurCommPages in NavigationModel for example.

URL Property of Knowledge Directory Web Document

I need to change a web link that was submitted to the Knowledge Directory with the Simple Submit. Old URL (http://www.mycompany.asp). New URL (http://www.mycompany.aspx)
I need to change the 'open document url' and it is not an editable field in the card properties. I tried changing the URL property and it didn't have any effect. The portal kept showing the same old document. When I deleted the property the Portal "freaked" out and bombed. I tried re-adding the URL property to the card and it continued "freaking" out and not working.
How is one supposed to update the URL for a card? It seems that this is not possible. As a test. Submit a Web Document using Simple Submit for http://www.espn.comand then change the URL property on the card to http://www.plumtree.com the portal continues to open http://www.espn.com:-((((

There table in portal database called 'ptcards'. Column named 'URL1' holds URLs of submited files.
Change urls then restart IIS on portal server.

Pages, Subcommunities & Knowledge Directory Link of Parent Community

Is there an easy way to get the pages, sub-communities, and knowledge directory link of a parent community? Essentially I need to get all the information that GetCurCommPages provides, but for a parent community.

What did you do on the computer before this problem arose? Updating, cleaning, what?
Have you tried the applications in another user account on the computer? Do so and if you dont' have an another account you can create one in System preferences > accounts. Tell us the result.
As you have problems with TextEdit to I think you have a system problem affection the applications you mentioned. Do some maintenance like Repair permissions, delete cash etc. Onyx is a frre applications that you can download from http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php

Disable Community Knowledge Directory

Where's the "Disable Community Knowledge Directory" stored in the database level. I need to update the checkbox for all communities to disable them, is there a way to do this using the EDK.

That flag is stored in the database in the PTOBJECTPROPERTIES table encoded in XML like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ucs-2"?><PTBAG V="1.1" xml:space="preserve">< I N="SITEMAPDISABLED">0< /I></PTBAG>
BEA wouldn't condone this, but the easiest way to do this quickly is:
update ptobjectproperties set properties1 = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ucs-2"?><PTBAG V="1.1" xml:space="preserve">< I N="SITEMAPDISABLED">1< /I></PTBAG>' where classid = 512
You definitely can't do this the EDK. You could write some native code to do it, but it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Linking Knowledge Directory to Oracle UCM

I have my Portal running in ALUI. I need to create a Knowledgebase – possibly external as this needs to be accessed by applications other than the portal as well – but I need to search/browse through this from the portal. The Search UI / inputs will be based on pre-determined properties of the documents / files in the Knowledgebase.
If I use Oracle UCM to create and manage this repository, could I use the ALUI's Knowledge Directory to point to these documents/content? The properties of the files defined in UCM should be fetched by the KD and used to build the KD Search and Browse interfaces.
If I already have the license for UCM, is this possible to do and a good way of doing it; or are there better options?

Oracle says in their 11g version roadmap that UCM will be more integrated to WCI. Even now, there is a content portlet suite provided in UCM which can be consumed in WCI via WSRP and this is officially supported by Oracle. (There are many other ways possible too as UCM is designed to integrate with portals)
Also I have read that there were several integration implemetations done between these two even years back when they were still in the Stellent and Plumtree avatars.
<Please verify this...! :)> Definitely UCM is going to strenghten WCI but then I guess the commercially, this is going to be very expensive. Unlike WebLogic portal, WCI is not going to be offered stand-alone anymore and you need to get it along with the complete WebCenter suite. that Plus UCM cost.. hmmmm..
