Moving items in a Content Area/folder
We're building a portal as a pilot project. I have a folder
containing several url links that are currently sorted
alphabetically. I want to specify the order, but I can't... they
don't have the "move" icon showing. How do I turn this option
on/off.
Thanks!
...Brian
In the folder where this phenomenon is seen click on..
Edit
Folder Properties
Style Tab
Link to your Style
Folder Layout Tab
Region Link (i.e. Regular Items)
Change 'Sort By' to Default
OK
OK
Blue sort arrows should have appeared.

Rate it Link for items in a content Area
Hi,
How do I add a rate it link for all items in a content area and track the rating for items by all the users. This is urgent and any help is appreciated
Thanks
MakarioYou need to create a custom item type, with a procedure that displays a link to do the rating.
For an example of a custom item type procedure, see Re: personal oracle 9i
Note that the primary key for an item is (masterid, id, caid, language). -
Get the items in a content area!!
Hello
I have created a content area with a structured like that:
MainFolder1
Item1
SubFolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
SubFolder2
Item5
SubFolder3
Item6
I have to display the names of the items content on this CA on a page, and I need to do It in the same way the structured is show, but that I mean I need to show it like that:
Item1
Name of the Subfolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
Name of the Subfolder2
Item5
Name of the Subfolder3
Item6
I have found an api but It doesn't have a way to acces the folders of a CA or the items inside an specific folder in order to show the things like I need.
Please help me, how can I achieve that??
Thanks in advance
Ana LasprillaYou could walk through the wwv_corners table to get a list of your folders and then walk through the wwv_things table to retrieve the items in the folders. Once you have your items you will need to use various techniques to display them. This really gets complicated though because you probably want to display folders and content in the order they display within the content area.
Another and simpler way to at least traverse this content is to call http://server/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsbr_folderxml.generate?p_id=somefolderid& p_siteid= somesiteid
This will produce an xml formatted dump of the folders and content. This goes to the http stream so you will have to capture and parse this.

Translating items in a Content Area
Hi,
Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
what is happening ?
we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Thanks for any help!
Fabian CrettonHi Philip
One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
Hope that helps

Slow Moving Item Scenario - Technical content for Queries
Hello
Due to preparations for upgrade to BW 7.30 we would make an analysis of not or seldom used BEx reports (queries, workbooks, etc.)
All of unused objects should be deleted in advance of an upgrade.
I checked if there is a query which shows slow moving items for queries.
Is there any technical content (query) which reports this scenario for BEx objects?
Thanks for any advise.follow steps in this doc:

How to customize the default add item in a content area
Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
If anyone has any idea, please help me.Hi All,
Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
Thanks,

Locking "Portal Administrators" out of items in a content area
I have a content area that will contain sensitive documents.
I've been asked to find out whether security can be set up so
that only a certain group of users can access the content area.
This includes locking out the portal administrators from seeing
these items. Is this possible and how can it be done?
Thanks!
Esther PoulsenYou will always need a couple of users that can function as
Portal superusers/administrators. That said, most
administrative tasks can be delegated and decentralized so that
only these few administrators have completely global
privileges. One of the key purposes of content areas is to
partition security among your users.

Export of items in a content area
We have items of type image in a content area. In the
browser the image url appears as follows:
/pls/portal30/docs/1234.gif
When migrating content areas does the item content
also get migrated (eg: the image file) and also
are the appended numbers eg: 1234.gif and itemids
kept the same in the new instance or are they changed.
Also is the correlation between the image and the number
maintained in the new instance.
Thanks,
SuzanneYes. All these correlations are automatically taken care.

Rights on URL items in a content area
Hi,
Ok, so now I have my query to retrieve the main URL items (top level branches) in a content area for my treeview. This is the query:
SELECT IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url,
COUNT(IT2.Name) Subs
FROM WWV_THINGS IT, WWSBR_URL$ URL, WWV_THINGS IT2
WHERE IT.SiteId = (
SELECT Id
FROM WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS
WHERE Name = 'CA_NAVIGATION'
AND Default_Language = 'us')
AND IT.Active = 1
AND IT.ParentId is null
AND IT.Id = URL.Object_Id
AND IT2.ParentId(+) = IT.MasterThingId
GROUP BY IT.Seq,
IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url
How do I figure out if the current user has rights to view the item or not? Not all users may see all these URL's of course.
I know how to find the current user, but I don't know how to limit this query to only those URL's granted to the current user.
Could anybody please point me in the direction of the correct table/tables to use in this query?
Thanks in advance,
Joey
nullHi,
I've found several docs in the PDK. I've also found a reference to the WWSEC_API, function has_privilege.
But I would like to know in which table I should look to check for rights of users and groups.
In content area X, I have several URL's, each URL has several usergroups that can access the URL. How do I know which URL's to display when user Y belonging to usergroup Z logs in?
Thanks in advance,

I use to be able to link directly to a content area or folder area by using the Folder Properties to copy the URL. Now, when I try to use this method it always takes me to my home page? I have users that want to link directly to one of their folders in a content area. Any ideas?
Thanks,
AG1 From the Navigator click on the required Content Area
2 Click on the properties sheet icon
3 Cut and paste the URL
4 Copy the URL into an email
5 Send the email
6 Click on the link from the email
7 The link does not go directly to the folder but the home page instead
This used to work but doesn't anymore, I've tried this in another 309 instance and it works OK. -
Make content area Folder Names within Portlets non-linkable fields
We would like to only allow the administrator to be allowed link to content areas so as to maintain a consistent look and feel and not allow the user to leave Portal.
Thanks for the info, however, turning off the header region also
eliminates the "customize" feature -- which is something I would
like my users to have. Also, I think you may be mistaken (or
maybe I wasn't clear) about the approval icon. It does NOT
appear when a folder is rendered through a portlet, regardless
of folder ownership. It only appears when a folder is rendered
as a page.
I am looking forward to the next release.
p.s. I see the new find feature has been added since my last
post.

Portlet as item in content area folder?
I was wondering if anyone has thought of adding a new item type of type portlet to the folder container?
Is is possible now or coming down the road?
My problem is that I have 260 portlets that the user needs to navigate through in an artificial hierarchy of sorts. Tabs appear to work, but they are ugly when I do lots of nesting.
Any ideas?The folder portlet offers only a subset of edit actions. We did
this to conserve space. This will be changed in the next
release of Portal, planned for December.

Folder Item displayed in content area page?
Is it possible to display an item
in the folder portlet area (to keep navigator bar).
I want the homepage to keep being displayed with the folder portlet in the same place only showing items description.
thanks for help.
jean-noelIt is the item type that controls whether you get that option. The way around it is to build a custom item type from the text type, then add a url attribute to it.
This will give you the control you want.

Limited File size uploaded to Content Area
Is it possible to limit the file uploaded as an item in the content area/folder ?
Its a benign error. It has to do with flexible parameter passing. You can ignore it.
Recently I have been receiving the following error in my apache error log file...It tells me to refer to the doc for ways around this issue...I am unable to locate any doc on this issue. I have looked in the iAS plsql doc as well. Now this comes and goes as well. For the most part clients can upload files successfully, but once and a while this error occurs. The error causes the 404 error in the browser
