Multi level navigation menus in iweb

Hi iweb experts
I am creating a website that has multi levels. Basically a main page that links to 2 other main pages one for each of my kids and would like to have the navigation menus reflect that fact in iweb.
So on the main page should have only home, son1, son2
and then on each on the main webs have the links specific to that website.
I can do this multi level in frontpage just fine, can this be done in iweb as well. I know I can create many site and link them but it makes it harder to maintain the external links between each of the pages.
Is there an easier way?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Samer

No, iWeb does not do this, but you can do it without having to build your own nav menu.
Use the page template navigation menu and have your main page in the navigation menu and this will show up - you can then have individual pages coming off this such as Person1 Person2 and when you create these pages they don't have to be in the navigation menu - all you do is open the Inspector and then open Page - the first one along and then click on "Don't show in navigation menu" and the "Don't include in navigation menu" options. On the two hidden or sub pages, which is what they are called, you can then place your own links such as Back and Next by using a text box or a shape.
This can be done and using the ordinary navigation menu too.
If you meant anything else, such a drop down menu - this requires a lot of code to be used and unless you know something about html and javascript I would not even bother to do it.

Dynamic, multi-level navigation

Hello~
After doing quite a bit of Google research, I am not really any closer to discovering a good tutorial for building both the backend and frontend for a dynamic, database-driven navigation system through ColdFusion. I am looking for a start on a system that will, ideally, be able to create both a navigation bar and dynamic breadcrumbs throughout the site. I am not really sure how to structure my database tables, as there are going to be atleast five levels of pages! Any suggestions would be very helpful, thank you!

Well, I found at least part of my answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2200187#2200187
I haven't tried breadcrumbs yet, but the nested lists work beautifully!

How to create a link in a multi level navigation?

Hi All,
I have a portal with multilevel navigation and I want to add page that acts as a link to an external website lets say http://www.cnn.com.
How can I add a link into the multilevel navigation? Can I create a page that is actually a link?
Thanks

Hmm, there's nothing simple in the WLP framework that will allow this, but you can hack it into your skeleton without too much trouble, I think. I'd try something like this:
1) Create a page in the IDE that will be used to represent this external site in your portal. This page won't have any content on it -- it's basically going to be a placeholder for your menu tab. Make a note of its definition label, though (eg. external_page_1)
2) Assuming you're using a bighorn skeleton, in your abstractmenu.jsp skeleton file, make a change like this (highlighted):

<c:otherwise>
*<c:choose>*
*<c:when test="${pagepc.label == 'external_page_1'}">*
*<a href="http://www.cnn.com">Go To CNN.com</a>*
*</c:when>*
*<c:otherwise>*
<render:pageUrl pageLabel="${pagepc.label}" var="pageUrl"/>
<a href="${pageUrl}">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${! empty pagepc.inactiveImage}">
<c:if test="${! empty pagepc.rolloverImage}">
<c:set var="imageclass" value="wlp-bighorn-image-nonrollover"/>
<img src="${pagepc.rolloverImage}" alt="${pagepc.title}" title="${pagepc.title}" class="wlp-bighorn-image-rollover"/>
</c:if>
<img src="${pagepc.inactiveImage}" alt="${pagepc.title}" title="${pagepc.title}" class="${imageclass}"/>
<c:remove var="imageclass"/>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<jsp:text>${pagepc.title}</jsp:text>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</a>
*</c:otherwise>*
*</c:choose>*
</c:otherwise>
What this says is that, when this skeleton file is going to render the menu tab markup for that particular page, spit out a hard link to cnn.com instead.
Give that a try, and let us know how it goes!

Alternative tooltip text shown when mouseover top level navigation?

Hi,
I've gotten a request about showing a tooltip when the user has his mouse over one of the top-level navigation menus.
For example on SDN if you hold the mouse over weblogs you would get the text : "The weblog section includes short informal rants"
The standard way of doing this is to include an alt attribute in the anchor and allow the browser to render the text as it wants (which is fine by me).
The major problem I see is where do you define this text ?
It has to be attached somehow be attached to a page and therefore probably stored in the PCD.
Has anyone done an implementation on this (or tried to do one) ?
Cheers
Dagfinn

Got it working on my own now.
Implemented it by using the text in the description field.
Create a new top level navigation using the existing class and retrieving the value using the method defined in How to retrieve the description of a role
Then some minor changes to the jsp and js classes.
Of course I might need to redo it after an upgrade, but I just have to live with that.
Cheers

LightSwitch HTML multi-level tile navigation menu

I am working on a multi-level tile navigation system for the LS HTML client. The idea is to have tiles on the home screen that when tapped navigate to a lower-level screen with more tiles that eventually lead to browse screens with the actual LS data.
Here is what I have so far (simplified of course). Looking for suggestions on how to improve this. TIA!
Home navigation tiles (these tiles appear on the application Home Screen)
-Orders - tap goes to Orders Home screen with additional tiles.
-Customers - tap goes to Customers Home screen with additional tiles.
-Lookups - tap goes to Lookups Home screen with additional tiles.
Order Navigation Tiles (these tiles appear on the Order home screen)
-Orders (search/browse Orders)
-Returns (screen based on a modeled query of Orders)
-other tiles for screens based on modeled queries of Orders
Customer Navigation Tiles (these tiles appear on a Customers home screen)
-Customers (search/browse Customers)
-other tiles based on modeled queries of Customers
Lookup Navigation Tiles
- Each tile links to a browse screen for one of the lookup tables.
>>>>
(didn't create an image/icon for this yet)
>>> ItemTap leads to a browse screen for "Test Records".
To power this menu system, there is a database table MenuTiles.
MenuTiles:
Title
Description
ScreenId
MenuGroup choicelist
-HomeGroup
-OrderGroup
-CustomerGroup
ImageFileName (contains the name of the static image file for the tile)
I have three modelled queries to get the tiles associated with each group. The Home Screen gets its tiles from a modelled query selecting the tiles with MenuGroup == HomeGroup. The other screens work the same way respectively.
The Home screen has the following js. The other screens have similar methods.
myapp.Home.ImageFileName_render = function (element, contentItem) {
contentItem.dataBind("value", function (newValue) {
var newFileName = newValue;
if (newFileName !== null && newFileName !== undefined) {
element.innerHTML = "<image src='Content/Images/Tiles/" + newFileName + ".png'>";
myapp.Home.MenuTilesHomeGroup_ItemTap_execute = function (screen) {
var entity = screen.MenuTilesHomeGroup.selectedItem;
var modelItem = entity.details.properties["ScreenId"].value;
if (modelItem !== null && modelItem !== undefined) {
myapp.showScreen('Browse' + modelItem);
This all seems to work well. The databind on the ImageFileName keeps the images updated on the screen if they are added or changed. The ItemTap_execute function correctly navigates to a lower level navigation screen or a browse screen for the
appropriate entity collection.
The problem I have with it is it seems to rely on magic strings and that sort of thing. For example, if the ScreenId does not match the name of a screen it will error. If the ImageFileName does not match an image in the folder, it shows the default
placeholder. Is there a better way to do this?

Nice Job Hessc! I also like Dales tile menu that Dave mentioned.
For a look at another example, albeit not multi-level, see how
syncfusion does tiles in this demo:
Javascript
myapp.Home.ScreenContent_render = function (element, contentItem) {
TileCreation(element, contentItem);
$(".tile-li").on("click", function (args) {
var screen = args.currentTarget ? $(args.currentTarget).attr('data') : "";
myapp.showScreen(screen);
function TileCreation(element, contentItem) {
var SampleList = [

Some things to notice are CSS classes are used to assign images and since it renders straight <UL> in a custom control, it prevents rendering all the extra DOM elements that LS tile list has - might make some customizations of look & feel
easier.

HTML5 vs Flash Navigation Menus

Don't want the topic to get deleted so I'll try to put this carefully-speculation you know!
Since iWeb first came out I've been creating my own navigation menus. Simply by creating a text box and linking the text within the text box to my pages. This has been recommended many times in this forum due to the search un-friendliness of the Flash based navigation menus that are used when "Display Navigation Menu" is selected in the Inspector.
In a future iWeb, that may be more HTML5 based, could that change how iWeb creates such things as the built in Navigation Menus. Just wondering

A custom navigation allows a lot more versatility in choice of font, size, color, rollover colors, placement on the page, horizontal or vertical etc.
I don't think its so much that there are problems with default as the fact that building your own menu in a text box allows you to add more keywords. For example, you can have a page name "Joe Gramm" in iWeb and this will appear in the URL. In the navigation menu this page could be named "Upholstery King" giving you a chance to add more keywords.
If you want speculation, I would be more inclined to guess - or hope - that iWeb will move towards multi layer CSS menu generation.
Here's a test page with a partial menu of this type....
http://web.me.com/roddymckay/Web-Media-Test/Menu.html
Its relatively easy to build a menu like this but very time consuming. If your website is fairly static I guess its worth while. I make too many changes which would require updating the menu and pasting it to over a hundred page. I'm not into self punishment!

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.

Images are not reflecting in Multi Level Menu

Hi,
i am facing some problem in the Multi Level Menu.
i have created a book in my portal application.
For the "Main Page Book" i am setting "Multi Level Menu"
For the Book with in the menu, i am setting "No Navigation"(to avoid the sub pages displaying when clicking the book)
for example the Book name is "Home".
i want to replace the Home with some images.
using "selected image" i have placed some .gif
when i have checked at run time that image is not reflected.
when i keep the menu as "Single level menu" images are coming. (but drop down is not coming)
the problem is when i put the menu as "multi level menu" the images are not reflected.
pls help me to solve this issue.
regards.

How to merge top level navigation into detail navigation panel.

Hi All,
I want to add all the contents of top level navigation into detail navigation panel and remove top level navigation.I am looking for the code with which i can shift the top level navigation to detail level navigation.

You could edit the top-level navigation iview and set the <b>Number of Display levels</b> property's value to 0.
you can reach the Top-level navigation iview by going through the following path
1) <b>Content Administration --> Portal Content --> Content Provided by SAP --> Admin Interfaces --> Top-level navigation</b>
However, note that once you do this the whatever menus that are available in the top level will not be available anymore.
Maybe, you could copy the standard Top-level navigation into a framework page that you have created and then make the change. After doing so, you can assign it to groups/roles you want. This will ensure that the CONTENT/SYSTEM/USER administrators see the normal portal framework and specific user groups alone dont see the Top level navigation..

Can we use SNP PDS in Multi level ATP ?

Hi All,
We do CTM planning with existing SNP PDS In APO and now we want to explore to use the Multi level ATP functionality for GATP. I know, MATP can create the ATP trees if the stock is not available and these can be converted into PPDS order.
My question is, can we use SNP PDS for this purpose?
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Hi Abhilasha,
There is no such specific mention anywhere in the literature that you cannot use SNP PDS for MATP. The only downside to using SNP PDS is that SNP PDS are meant for mid to long term planning and the activities/operations in SNP PDS are usually not in detail i.e only important activities or bottle neck components are usually used which will not always facilitate detailed scheduling.
On the other hand MATP creates ATP tree structures by plan exlosion(which can be SNP/PDS) and saves the requirements groups(component requirements of header level) with dates/qts and source of supply. It uses PPDS component to convert these ATP tree structures into PPDS planned orders depending on the conversion horizon/requirements dates. It does that by reading the source of supply, requirements dates and quantities from ATP tree structure and by plan explosion.
When MATP planned orders are created you should no longer plan them with automatic planning run as that will cause re-explosion of the plan and might cause incorrect down stream requirements if you had had substitutions at component leve during MATP check. In planned orders, you have an option of changing the allowed sources of supply (in source of supply section). But for orders created by MATP, you will not be allowed to change the source of supply field from SNP PDS to PPDS PDS in the planned order because it will re-explode the plan. So you can decide for yourself if you can use SNP PDS as source of supply for PPDS planned orders.
Hope that answers your question.

Mohan

How to create a multi-level configuration sales order?

Hi,
    My client use configurable material to sell computers. And the production mode is MTO. One sales order item correspond with a production order
    Now my client also sell array which consist of two computers, two storage, one UPS power etc. That means I must realize multi-level configuration. First, choose the computer type. Second, based on the choosed computer in first step, choose the cpu, disk and so on. And then based on the sales order item, there must be several production order related to the same sales order item.
    Now I have semi-finished product B1,B2--computer. Class type is 300. Many characteristics is allocated to the class. B type material has the BOM which consist of cpu,disk etc.
    Then I created the finished product A--array. Class type is 300. Allocated characteristics is the B1,B2. A has the BOM which consist of B1,B2 etc.
    When I create sales order, I can only config the first level,choose computers for A, can not choose cpu,disk for computers.
    So, how can I find a solution for this scenario?
    Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Waza
1. Does the Sales order BOM explode in the sales order?
No. Just one top item would be ok for my client.
2. Why do thy want this in the sales order? They can explode the BOM in the production order, do they then need pricing at the component level?
They do not need pricing at the component level. Exploding the BOM in the production order is acceptable. But how can I config the configurable material in components of production order?
I tried collective order, but the second level of configurable material can not generate production order. I just make use of special procurement 52 in MRP2 of top finished product. Is there something I missed?
Thanks again.

Multi Level Phantoms

Looking for guidance / lessons learned on phantoms. I have several assemblies that use multi level phantoms assemblies and the problem I am encountering is when the the BOMs all get pushed up to the top level, the shop order cannot be cut due to duplicates.
A very basic example is I have screw that goes into a plate. The plate is a phantom and used on two different sub assemblies. These sub assemblies are phantoms and report to the same top level assembly that I am building. When I attempt to cut a shop order, the screw that was all the way at the bottom appears twice on the top level BOM when the two phantom BOMs are pushed up and causes an errorpreventing me from moving forward.
I currently set my special procurement type 50 in MM03. I have heard that I could set it up on the individual BOMs, however I do not see this fixing the problem as the material and item number of the duplicate will remain the same regardless of how it was set up.
Any advice or inputs? Please let me know if you need more detail.
Thanks.

Multi level follow up material in BOM

Dear All,
Our client have a requirement for multi lvel follow up material in BOM.
for example
BOM for Finish Good made of A.
if material A is depleted then used material B
if material B is depleted then used material C
if A and B have stock used A(higher priority)
I tried to used follow up material in MRP4 and BOM but it can not be used for multi level like this case.
Is there any solution for this?

Hi anyway I tested the BOM master data like this
F/G 1 Master Box
|--- A 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 1 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
|--- B 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 2 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
|--- C 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 3 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
Stock A is depleted
Stock B enough
stock C enough
Expected result F/G only used B 10 PCS
Actual result is
F/G 1 Master Box
|-- A 10 PCS
|-- B 10 PCS
|-- C 10 PCS
Do ou have ides how should the percentage in BOm is maintain?
Best regards,
Fred
