Opening Publisher Content Inline (inline refresh)

Hey all!
All of our publisher portlets open content items in a new window.
Instead, I'd like to experiment with opening them within the existing window.
I know that Web Service objects have a "Use Hosted Display Mode on Gateway Pages" option which will load content in essentially a 1 column layout portal page but I don't like the idea that the only way to navigate back is with the main header navigation.
Is there any other way you could recommend to easily provide a "back" feature to the users? My concern is if a user was on page 3 of a community, opened a content item (which essentially overwrites the page) and now they have to navigate back to the community, and then to the page.
Is it possible to load the content directly within the portlet itself? How would that be done?
How do you load content at your company?
a) in a popup?
b) using the hosted display mode
c) within the portlet
Any opinions on which works best from an end user perspective?
Thanks

Yes, but its harder than you would hope. There are a few options:
The easiest one is using "hosted display mode". Basically the portal just injects the portal header on top of your news article. Downsides are that you are no longer in the same community, and other portlets cannot be displayed alongside the news portlet.
Another method that is actually quite common is to append a parameter to the portal url, which is read by a portlet on another page in the community. So, for example, the user clicks on a link and gets taken to &open=514&objID=12345&mode=2&newsArticleID=54321. On page 12345, there will be a portlet that looks for newsArticleID=54321 and shows that. Unfortunately to accomplish this people use a modified version of the pt:standard.openerlink (i'm sure there are other ways too) which i'm not sure is publicly available.
If you feel this is the route you need to take maybe someone can provide you with the tag.
Probably a third way would be to set the current news article via session pref or something, but then you can't bookmark it.

Open BLOB Content from an Interactive Report in a New Window

Hi All,
I have an Interactive Report with the following query:
SELECT ID,
FILE_NAME,
FILE_MIME_TYPE,
FILE_CHARACTER_SET,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(FILE_CONTENT) FILE_CONTENT,
FILE_LAST_UPDATED
FROM FILESThe Number/Date Format property for the FILE_CONTENT column is as follow:
DOWNLOAD:FILES:FILE_CONTENT:ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:FILE_LAST_UPDATE:FILE_CHARACTER_SET:attachment:DownloadWhen I click on the FILE_CONTENT link in the report, depending on the type of file, it opens in a new window or in my report’s window.
I am trying to set the link to always open the content in a new window. I tried changing the Link Attributes to target="_blank" but it did not work.
There is an example in the Package Application “Sample File Upload and Download” on apex.oracle.com. Page 1 has a report that allows you to add files. You can add files such as PDF, SQL, or TXT file in order to replicate my situation.
I appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Erick

The problem is solved!
Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
Thanks!

Workflow Problem : Publishing &Content Archiving

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Let me be more clear in my question.
I am using the XML Form Builder 'Edit' page to uplaod a document. Once I click on the 'Save' button of the 'Edit' form, the content automatically gets displayed on the 'renderListItem' form and subsequently on the 'Show' form as well.
Also the document gets saved in the .xml format in one of the folders for which I have set up the workflow.
But now, the question is what is the point in setting up the workflow for a document when it gets displayed as soon as it is uploaded.
So I wanted to know how I can prevent the form from getting displayed on the 'renderItemList' form before it gets approved.(assuming that the user will always Submit the document for approval)
Jus for additional information, my workflow consists of the following,
Editor->approver->publisher->Reader(only for viewing the published contents)
Thanks and regards
Srikant

Mike, thanks for the response.
To your first question, I've looked here on MSDN as well as Google. Most information points to the indivivual not "publishing" their workflow to that list - that's not my situation. I click on the Publish button, but I get no workflow.
To your second point; I created a plain-vanilla list workflow (not a Reusable Workflow), and attached it to the desired list. When I show the workflows in SPD, my new workflow is listed under the List Workflows and when I view the SPD page displaying the
workflow settings for this workflow, and click on the "Open associated list" link, it pulls up the appropriate list.
To your third point; when I pull up the workflow settings from the list, it shows that "There are no workflows associated with this list" - as if the "publish" never happened.
This is driving me crazy!

Publisher trouble : Published Content based portlets disabled

I've configured an environment with an instance of publisher. Later, I've created a publisher redirector, and republished all items in the publisher back office
For some obscur reasons, since this last modification, I cannot create new portlets based on the Published Content web service. I always got the message "This portlet has been deactivated. Contact your portal administrator."
I've checked the Published Content web service and it's enabled
Where is the error ? Must I configure something in another place ?
Another error, that has a probable relation with this previous error : I'm not able to do a "preview" of all my content items under the publisher back office, I always got an error saying me that or the page is unknown

The exact problem is : after importing the PTE file published_content_portlets.pte, I cannot use the newly imported portlets.
For example, when I want to create a new portlet base on the template "News" french localized, I cannot modify this new portlet : I got a popup which told me that the template is not properly configured or files are missing.
By the way, when I open the publisher explorer, I can see all the portlets I've imported but they are not published

Editing a previously published content item results in no workflow applied

Hi,
We have developed numerous workflows, which are configured as default from New menu configurations.
We are seeing two issues:
1) Copying an existing content item, the assigned workflow to the New menu is not applied. This is apparently by design in 11g (did work in 7.x) according to Oracle support. We have raised a product enhancement request
2) Editing a content item which has passed through its workflow stages and has been published, the previously assigned workflow is not assigned.
Issue 2) is what we are looking into now. Apparently (again) this is by design.
Is there a common approach that people are using to resolve this issue, in that editing a previously published content item, those changes will be subject to the original workflow stages before it will be re-published?
We have heard mentioned of listeners or further stages in the workflow...
Thanks

then use SPD to customize the task process to lock them out upon starting and give them rights again upon rejection.

Hi
How was this resolved in the end. I to want to disable editing of document whilst workflow in progress. In SPD how is this achieved?
Thanks

Publishing Content Items through API

Hello,
I am currently using EDK 5.3 for publishing content items. I have been sucessful in editing an existing content item using APIS. However It looks like APIS doesn't have a way to schedule to publish content items for a future date.
I tried to do some reverse engineering and found out that this information is stored in pcsscheduledcontent and pcsscheduleitems tables. I was able to figure out how to change the dates as this are stored in pcsscheduleitems table,however can't find out where are the values are being stored for time.
Say, I want to publish the content item for 08/28/2008 4:00 pm using the APIS, I am able to get to the date from the above 2 tables but really can't find out where the time is stored. I have tested from the User interface that the time is also retained based on the options we pick.
And also I have seen that the Loadid keeps on increasing for every change I make.
Can someone please help me/ guide me in the right direction?
Thanks.

pcsscheduledContent table. schedule something to be published in the future and then do a select on that table with an order by clause of :
ORDER BY ITEMBEGINDATE DESC
The itembegindate column contains the date AND time of the publishing schedule. you may just not be converting the value correctly.

How to re-open tree nodes after a refresh to AdvancedDataGrid's GroupingCollection?

Hello,
I have an AdvancedDataGrid, which has as it's dataProvider a
GroupingCollection. The GroupingCollection's source is bound to an
ArrayCollection. Items in the ArrayCollection can be edited.
After a change to the ArrayCollection, I refresh() the
GroupingCollection so it displays properly. Unfortunately, this
collapses the tree of the AdvancedDataGrid, that is, the previously
open nodes are no longer open. I would like to re-open the nodes
after a refresh.
In the code provided, I have attempted to save the nodes
which were open before the refresh, perform the refresh, then
re-expand the nodes with AdvancedDataGrid.expandItem(). But it
didn't work, and I am stumped.
Any ideas on how to expand nodes in the AdvancedDataGrid?
or
Any ideas on how to allow the user to modify a data item,
including fields used as GroupingFields, in an AdvancedDataGrid?

Yes, I try saving the nodes like this:
//save the currently opened items
openArray = new Array();
for each(var obj:Object in advancedDataGrid.openItems)
openArray = openArray.concat(obj);
and then restoring them with the expand function:
//expands the nodes which are passed in as the argument
private var expand:Function = function(array:Array):void
for each(var obj:Object in array)
advancedDataGrid.expandItem(obj, true);
Unfortunately, expandItem just seems to return without doing
anything!

Firefox opens flash content in wrong size and bad quality.

I created flash content (virtual tour) in fixed size 800x600. There is a script which opens the content in new window but Mozilla opens just a cropped part of it. Even after maximizing the content the flash remains still cropped. There is also a problem with images inside the content because they are played in low quality. Other browsers do not have this problem and also screens with higher resolution (desktops) show it correctly on Mozilla.
Any suggestions?

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

Rtmt error exception in publish content on Critical Services cucm

Hi everybody, i have a problem with RTMT version 8.7 over CUCM 8.5.1.10000, when i try see the Critical Services of my cluster, i see a error "Exception in publish content", and it not show my service list, another functions of my RTMT have not any problem, only this. i attach an image.
Can anybody help to me or suggest what is the problem.
Thanks for advanced.

i found the problem just now, this occurs when you have a mixed cluster UCS/MCS, the reference of this bug is presented in the next link,
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCty47592
this was fixed in the release 8.6(2.23061.1) and up.

Published content as SCORM 1.3 (2004) - view Table of Contents?

I've published some UPK content (A module containing 13 topics) created in 3.6.1 as SCORM 1.3 (2004).
I have zipped up the content in the Publishing Content > LMS folder so that the imsmanifest file is in the root of the .zip. I have uploaded this file into an LMS (Activate LMS) but when I then launch the content from the LMS I do not see the TOC page and can only complete the first topic in the module. When I complete this Topic I can't then exit it (apart from closing the entire window) and this then doesn't update the module as being started.
The URL that the LMS is loading points only to the topic that does load.
Why is this and how can I configure the content so that the LMS points to the TOC page and not just a single topic.
Thanks,
Greg

The best way to import from my experience into an LMS is to import at 1.2. do not use the zip file. unzip the file to your LMS server, then import the .xml 1.2 manifest file.
if you are using 11.0. select show navigation buttons. This shows the entire structure of my file.

Captivate 4 not Zipping Published content if SCORM options turned on!

I am having a HUGH issue... Captivate 4 is not Zipping published files if the SCORM options are turned on... I've been using captivate for years, it's not rookie mistake.
When you enable the scorm options and publish it doesn't zip the published content. If you disable SCORM it zips them just fine.
PLEAS HELP SOMEONE!!!! Adobe support is not help at all... one actually told me to return the product.

If that's the only issue, why not just zip the resulting content yourself? Both Mac and Windows offer built-in methods for creating .zip files...
IS that the only issue?
Does your lesson have scored interactions?
You've setup the preferences/tracking correctly?
.zip is checked in the publish options? And it just doesn't .zip?

"Help viewer cannot open this content"

In iPhoto '09 Help window I would get the following error message when I tried viewing any topic:
"Help viewer cannot open this content"
Problem solved with help from "Apple Expert" phone support following these steps:
1. reboot in safe mode - I think this clears system cache and runs a disk repair utility
2. reboot
3. delete ~/Library/Caches
4. empty trash
5. log out
6. log back in
7. empty trash
Apparently the problem was caused by a corrupt cached file.

This worked for me.
From http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html#Anchor-Reset-35882
Quit Help Viewer if it is open. Leopard users should click the red Close button in the upper-left corner of the Help Viewer window. Users of Tiger and earlier can press the Command-Q (Quit) keyboard shortcut.
Trash the following three files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder, if extant:
* com.apple.help.plist
* com.apple.helpui.plist
* com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Trash the following two folders in your Home > Library > Caches folder, if extant:
1. com.apple.helpui folder
2. com.apple.helpdata
Empty the Trash.
Test that Help Viewer is now operating normally.

Publisher Content to the Knowledge Directory

Hello,
I want to publish a single portlets published content to the knowledge directory. Let's call the portlet 'Policy Info'
So I created a publisher crawler. Unfortunately, it would not let me drill down to the exact portlet. I only gave me a choice at the root level of all the portlets. (I don't want all publisher portlet content item to show up in the KD).
I tried to create a filter that would grab only info from that specific portlet. But the filter does not have a property to specify the portlet name. I can create a filter on each content item, but that means adding or deleting a filter every change.
Any ideas how to get the published content from 1 specific folder into the KD?
Thanks,
V
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. ~Joseph Campbell

Vivek,
It should allow you to do so. You can drill down to the exact portlet folder and configure that folder in the Publisher Crawler.
Note: All root level folders are Hyperlinks, when displayed while creating a publisher crawler. Click on the root folder and navigate to your portlet folder.
Thanks,
Bharat
