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
    Makario

    You 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!!

    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:

    Please help me, how can I achieve that??
    Thanks in advance

    You 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!

    Hi 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.

  • 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 Poulsen

    You 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,
    Suzanne

    Yes. 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,

    Hi,
    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,

  • Content Area & Folder URL's

    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,
    AG

    1 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-noel

    It 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.
