Open iView in new window with no IE nav

Using EP6 SP2:
From the third level navigation, I need to open an iView in a new window. The trick is that I need the new window to not have the standard IE navigation buttons. Basically, window.open("http://my.url.com","toolbar=no").
I cannot figure out how to do this within the standard navigational structure. The url that I am linking to is outside of the portal, but it is using an SSO logon ticket to authenticate.

Write a html page that opens the url like you want it.
Put this html on a km folder and make a km-document iview to it.

I just thought of a better way:
just make an iview to the website and put your options ( fullscreen=yes) in the propertie Window Features

still its getting in sam content are plz can u help out ASAP..
ThanQ Vita

Hi Richard,
The property Launch in New Window = Display in Saparate Window should work. Try to assign the iView directly to the role and check. It might also be some cache problem. Try to navigate to System Administration>System Configuration>Navigation Cache.
Clear them and check once again. Hope it might solve your problem.

Open iView in new WINDOW for CATW

HI All,
We are on Netweaver2004s and the browser used is either Internet Explorer 7 (Microsoft Vista) or Mozilla Firefox.
Now what I need help on is that I have a link on my page that says "Report Your Time", this link calls the Internet Service CATW via the ITS from my R/3 and opens the TIMESHEET (which is an iView) to be filled in by the user in a new window.
On this TIMESHEET I have a link called as "EXIT" , now after the timesheet is filled and saved, the user should use this "EXIT" link to leave the window. The code behind "EXIT" is so written by SAP that it kills the user's session. But not always and all user's use this "EXIT" link, they generally close the window by browser's (X) close button. This causes the user to get locked in the backend.
So far I have been able to trap the browser's (X) close button and kill the session by using "setOKCode('/nex')". This works fine in I.E 6 (which has no tabs) and if the user closes Mozilla Firefox from the top (X) close button of the browser.
BUT, in I.E 7 and mozilla firefox, when the user clicks on "Report Your Time" link on my page, a new tab opens and the TIMESHEET is displayed on this tab within the same browser window, so after filling and saving the timesheet when the user closes the (TIMESHEET) tab, the session does not get killed and the user gets locked in the backend. Here, if the user had closed the entire browser window by using the the top (X) close button of the browser, instead of just closing the tab containing the TIMESHEET, then his session would have been killed by my code.
This is the code that identifies if the user has clicked on top (X) close button of the browser. But this code does not identify if a browser's tab is closed.
<BODY onbeforeunload="HandleOnClose()">
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function HandleOnClose() {
if (event.clientY < 0) {
event.returnValue = 'Are you sure you want to leave the page?';
In the above I check clientY property of the event object, which is used to set or retrieve the y-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the client area of the window, excluding window decorations and scroll bars.
Is there a way to capture the closing of a browser's tab. A way by which I can trap the event raised when the browser window's tab is closed.
This has to be done via "Java Script" since the code will be placed in the HTML template in SE80.
Kindly help with your expert suggestions

Hi Aviad,
You could set "fullscreen=yes" (without quotes) for the property called "Window Features" (technical name: "com.sapportals.portal.navigation.WinFeatures") on the navigation element in question (iView or, if existent, surrounding page). Take care, this opens the window without frame and toolbar (closable by ALT-F4).
To get a 100% screen (with toolbar, frame etc), you have to calculate the clients resolution before, using JS for example. So you would need to build a workaround, for example an iView with no output but opening a new window with a certain NavURL as target.
Hope it helps

Open iView in new window in fullscreen

Hi,
I would like to open an (URL) iView in new window and maximize it size to expand on all the screen. Something like: width=100% height=100%.
Unfortunatly, the window feature properties does not allow this, it only allows passing width and height in pixels.
Does anyone has a solution for this issue? How to open iView in a new window in full-screen.
Thanks in advance,
Aviad

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.

Preview iView / Open iView in new window not properly working

Hello,
I've got a question regarding previewing an iView (by pressing the "Preview" button in its properties) or opening an iView in a new Window by clicking on a button for instance. The problem is that when the window is opened, the iView cannot be displayed and a Portal Runtime exception is thrown, with the message "Cannot find iView" iView: N\A. This is very strange, since sometimes it works, when i test it on a different browser, but even on the same browser on which it works , sometimes it still fails, and displays "Cannot find iView". Does anybody have any clue what this problem can be? Basically it happens most of the time, but sometimes (randomly?) it works. I guess it may be a problem with caching, but i haven't resolved the reason yet. Thanks very much.

Try playing around with the load settings. Specifically, try turning off client-side caching, your browser might be getting confused depending on the kind of iview you are previewing.
A couple of questions:
1. What kind of iview is it?
2. Does it work if you stick it on a page and preview the page?

Open iView in New Window via Link

Hi,
I have created a link that opens an iView within a role:
http://server:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=....
Although, I have set the the iView parameter to Open in Separate Window, it is displayed within the portal content area. How can I achieve that the iView is opened in a separate window?
Thanks.
/Elvez

Hi Elvez,
So you want the user pressing the link, a new browser window opens with the portal, and from that, an additional window opens with the iView?! Hm, if it makes sense for you...
No, EPCM calls of course don't work within an eMail. And the solution you have implemented is the one to go, whether implemented as KM doc or as an iView rendering the JS.
Hope it helps

Opening IView in new Window

Hello SDNers,
I hv a Par IView which on click will navigate to specific internet site.
The IView takes me tht internet site.
However, I want to open the target content in a new window rather opening in a content area or the desktop inner page.
My code goes here like this :
 <a href="http://www.abcd.com"><img src="<%= componentRequest.getWebResourcePath() + "/images/Sampleimage.gif" %>" border="0"></a>
Anybody has an idea on the same ? Please, help me where I went wrong ?
Thanks for your time. Looking forward to your repsonses.
Kind Regards,
RK.

Hi Ravindra,
The portal gives you the opportunity to open an iView in any size window you want (just like window.open, as Preveen mentioned).
First, if you are navigating to the iView from another iView, simply use the EPCM.doNavigate() method with the proper windows features parameter -- see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/26/71c74030308431e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm.
Second, even better, these window features can be supplied in the iView properties, so you can easily set up a DTN where you get your iView in a new window, and the window can be 100 x 200 pixels without and minimize button, or whatever. The properties are under the Navigation category.

Why does Firefox open in a new window with some sites? I hate this.

In some instances, a new browser opens with my homepage when typing in certain websites. I didn't have this problem before upgrading to 7. I hate this.

That are probably JavaScript window.open() calls that specify window dimensions.
You can divert those to a new tab.

Firefox keeps opening up a new window with "index of file///c /program files/mozila firefox" as I'm browsing, how do I stop this?

every time I open firefox after about 2 minutes a new window pops up with 2 tabs, one saying problem loading page, the other shows a list of program files, thier size and when the were last modified. When I close it, it pops back up again in a few minutes.

If you get a program called malware bytes it blocks that window from popping up. Hope that helps :)

Transfer_State (open report in new window) with a PreQuery

Hi
As part of the standard template that we deliver to end users, one of the buttons in the toolbar is a button that allows the user to open the report in a new window. This means they can view the report without all the additional information that portal adds, which is quite useful for large reports.
However, what I have found is one of our templates is not opening correctly, as the variable selection screen appears when the report is transferred to the new window (using TRANSFER_STATE command). For all the other templates, the filter values are remembered, so whatever values were entered on the selection screen, and whatever navigation was performed is transferred to the new window.
The only difference I can see between the templates that work and the one that doesn't, is that the "error" one has a query which in turn has a pre-query.
Is this a SAP bug, or standard behaviour, or something that we can get around?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
We too had this issue when using transfer state. All filter values where we used an exit would reset. SAP said this was standard behaviour. We ended up having to re-design and create all out templates!
Cheers,
Nick.

I can't get download to work - it will not copy the mp3 file to my chosen location (as set in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

I am running windows xp sp2 and I have set my dowload location under (tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my chosen location on my HD - instead, it opens up a new window with a makeshift "player" and begins loading the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system firefox has copied this file to, so, I cannot leave and come back later and play this MP3 file using winamp. I have to listen to it right then or lose it - if I close that new window (with that puny little "player"), then I lose the download, wherever firefox put it on my PC (I got no idea where it is). This is all under firefox 25.0
I am also running FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file I want, and firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) downloads it to my chosen location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over pause, and resume, and, when it is done, the download window offers me the option to "open containing folder" so I can make sure it got to where I wanted it. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox 25.0 on winxp sp2!!!!! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and it all looks good, but firefox 25.0 just ignores my chosen location and always defaults to give me that makeshift player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 file to my harddrive - it makes firerox 25.0 almost unusable since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my firexfox use - please help - I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and, since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I can't understand what happened at firefox?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Opening document in new window

I've added a button to the online help toolbar in the Skin
Editor and created a link to the manual in the Action Tab. I
compiled the help and when I select the button, the document comes
up in the topic pane window in the online help. I want the document
to open in a new window with the appropriate application (Word for
.doc, Adobe Reader for .PDF, etc.). I think this requires some
javascript but not sure. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Bill

Hi Bill
I believe that how these documents open are dependent upon
the settings for each PC viewing the page. For .PDF content, each
user has the ability to configure the settings for their PDF reader
to choose between whether PDF files open in the browser or in the
PDF reader. Additionally, browser add ins may have a role too. For
example, I use FireFox as my primary browser. I have an add in for
FireFox that allows me to choose what happens when I click a link
that opens a PDF. The add in prompts me for my desired action.
I believe Word is similar, but I'm not sure where you would
go to change the behavior of how it opens. But I do believe there
is a setting on each Windows install that governs how Word
documents are handled when opened from a link on a web page.
Actually, I just conducted a Google search and here is a link
or two that you may find interesting.

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...
