POrtal display :- theme

Hi,
We have EP 7.0.. We have Portal dislay workset under System Administration thru which we can change theme and transport etc.
My requirement i want assign this workset to user as role. So that particular user can have access to portal display and change theme.
I tired to search for this workset but did not get it. does any one has idea about this workset .
Or is there any other method thru which i can allow user to change theme of the portal i dont want to give them System Administration rights, i  only  want to allow Portal Display .
Regards,
Jigar Oza

Hello Jigar,
Kindly navigate to Content Administration> Sarch and enter theare syatem and select Role from Drop Down.Click on search.
Now open System Admin role and naviget to Workset that u require. open it in PCA.
Copy that workset in some other location and assign it to newely created Role.
OR
Navigate to PCD Location property of that workset and find the location.
I would prefer first method.
Hope this help's
Regards.

  • Portal Style & Theme

    Hi Guys,
    I have integrated SRM 5.0 into Portal.Most of the iviews are IAC i.e., all are ITS based services.
    The issue is that the Portal Theme does not get reflected on these services after integration.
    When a BSP or Webdynpro is integrated the the application gets the Portal Theme,when executed from Portal but the ITS services are not getting this.
    What can i do.

    All,
    We had the same issue and reported it to SAP via OSS, they confirmed that it doesn't work...
    Short Text    
    IAC Look & Feel in Portal (Theming)    
    Long Text    
    We want the IAC iViews that are provided by the
    Business Package SRM to adopt the look & feel as
    configured in our custom Corporate Portal Theme
    object.
    We followed all help.sap.com and notes (607843) that
    are availible.
    They discribe the use of System Administrator >
    Portal Display > ITS Theme Generator.
    We "tried" to use this tool to generate the theme for
    the IAC applications but without any result. We
    cannot find the reason why our Custom Corporate theme
    will not apply to the IAC's.
    Thanks in advance,

    Dear Customer,
    Thanks for the details provided.
    The trace shows that the call for the css from the ITS and not from the
    portal.
    EBP system does not support the portal theme integration,
    We have discussed this issue internally and come to the conclusion that
    it is not possible to use a portal theme with SRM; that is, the SRM
    application uses its own stylesheets and will *ignore* the portal theme.
    You can however customize these stylesheets to fit the look and feel of
    your portal theme. The main stylesheet in question is ebpapplication.css
    https://tgxrr02.muc.allianz:8443/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/bbpglobal/99/style/ebpApplication.css
    You can modify this stylesheet directly or even create a new SRM theme
    if you like. The stylesheet can be found at:
    Transaction SE80
    Internet Service BBPGLOBAL
    -> Mime Objects
    -> Style
    Simply modify this css (or create a whole new theme) and then republish.
    Hope this helps, if so please confirm the message at your earliest
    convenience.

    Manikandan. 
    So I gues this will anser your question too...

  • Assigning portal display workset to a user

    Hello Friends,
    We are using NW04s Portal and currently working on look and feel part of it.
    Portal theme can be changed by using "Portal Theme Editor"  from System Administration -> Portal Display tab.
    I want to assign only this tab to a different user so that he can work on portal themes. He should not be able to see other admin worksets. What is the procedure to achieve it, if at all this is possible?
    I searched for this workset in PCD but unable to find it. It is there in "System Administration" workset. I also used "trace delta links" button to search for the source object in PCD, but it says "System Administration" workset has the source workset.
    Regards,
    nilz

    Hi Nilz,
    You can try this:
    1) Go to Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided By SAP -> Admin Content -> System Administrators -> Copy the System Admin role and place it in your desired folder. This should be a normal paste, not a delta link copy-paste.
    2) In your folder, right click on this role, change id. This will allow you to change the name and the id of this role and this would thereby be a different role all together. Call it eg. Portal Display Administrator.
    3) Remove all other worksets except for "Portal Display".
    4) Attach this role to the users who want this role.
    Hope this helps.

  • SAP Portal custom themes not appearing in 'Personalize' link

    Hi.
    I am trying to make customised themes available to my users through the 'Personalize' link in the masthead. I have successfully customised the Personalize function so it now includes only the ability to choose themes - all other forms of personalisation have been stripped out. I have also successfully created a customised theme.
    My problem is that the custom theme I have created does not appear in the values list within Personalize -> Portal Theme. Only SAP standard themes are appearing in the list. I have managed to assign the theme to users through a display rule, so I know the theme works OK. I have tried exporting and re-importing the theme, this did not help.
    Does anybody know how I can make my custom theme available through the Personalize -> Portal Theme list?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Simon.

    Hi,
    Only the themes present in the desktop in which the users fall will be available in the personalize link.
    In detail
    System admin->portal display->Desktop and display rule ->open your desktop (in which the user falls)
    Add all your custom theme to the desktop.
    By now the custom theme will be present in personalize->custom theme.

  • Delegating "Portal Display" to a new role

    Hi all,
    I would like to create a role that I can assign to selected people that would allow them to manage the themes/desktops/framesworks/rules.  These people will already have content administrator's role.
    So, I created new folders for the new role and new role and workset.  My next step was to add the "Portal Display" workset to the new workset, as used in the System Administration role.  However, when I went to look for the "Portal Display" workset  I could not find the object in the PCD.
    Is there a way to create a role for just the "Portal Display" management?  Where is that object?
    I am able to do a delta link on the "System Administration" workset, but then I have to remove lots of stuff.  Seems a waste and not at all an elegant way to go.
    Thanks for your help,

    HI
    u r right
    i thought i could copy the role from role editor to pcc. But it is not possible.
    so the simple solution is to copy the role of system administrator as such in pcc and paste it  as delta link in ur folder of pcc. delete all the unwanted page , iview and workset from that role.
    Since u r pasting as delta link any future changes to system administrator by SAP will reflect in ur role too

  • I have pictures in a folder, how can I display them in name order?

    I have pictures in a folder, how can I display them in name order?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't think you can. You might ensure that their creation dates are in order, but I'm not so such that will help. Ordering seems to be a feature limited to use with iPhoto/Aperture.

  • Is there a way to preview any file as HTML? I need to preview .INC files as HTML, but can't make FireFox to display them as anything other than plain text.

    As a part of design I have .INC files that contain HTML that is to be processed by PHP. The extension is .INC to separate it from .HTML files which don't need pre-processing.
    I sometimes need to preview those files as HTML, but Firefox always displays them as plain text. Is there a way to tell Firefox that .INC files should be displayed as .HTML?

    One at a time is the answer to both questions, I'm afraid.  There is no automated way to do either.

  • Overriding DPI of images when displaying them in WPF

    Posting following because it might help someone else. It took me quite 
    while to figure this one out.
    I started learning C# and WPF recently. I hadn't had so much fun since the
    late 1990s when I learned Java.
    But I stumbled on one major irritant working on my project, a picture viewer.
    Contrary to just about every environment I've encountered, WPF insists on
    taking the DPI of images into consideration when displaying them. What I want
    is to display the images in some area of my app, pixel-for-pixel unless that
    results in the picture going beyond the frame, in which case the image
    needs to be scaled down so it fits. I don't want to have a larger image because
    the DPI is smaller than 96, and I don't want a smaller image because the DPI
    is higher than 96.
    As far as I'm concerned, DPI is more often than not a useless number. Two
    examples.
    1) My camera arbitrarily assigns a DPI value of 72 to all pictures it takes.
       But what "inches" are we talking about here? Obviously there is no answer
       to that question. So it's a meaningless number.
    2) If I scan a 35 mm color slide, I will probably do so at a DPI value of
       something like 2400, but I'd sure want to display the resulting image much
       larger. By default, WPF will show it at original size, totally useless.
       The DPI here is certainly meaningful, but not as a display parameter!
    I compared two images from same original (leware.net/photo/dpi.html),
    one resized to a DPI of 48, the other to a DPI of 192. In a hex editor,
    except for the one byte that encodes the DPI value, the two files are
    identical. It's the same image, with a different DPI value, but no other
    differences.
    So how do I get a WPF picture viewer to display images without taking their
    DPI into consideration? As every browser and viewer I know will do?
    At first, I thought that I would be able to do something like:
        BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
        img.BeginInit();
            img.UriSource = new Uri(somePathOrUrl);
            img.DpiX = 96.0;   // override
            img.DpiY = 96.0;
        img.EndInit();
    But DpiX and DpiY are "get" only, not "set". Yet, it's just a simple number,
    and changing it before WPF does anything with the image does not sound like a
    big challenge (even when waiting for DownloadCompleted event). It's almost as
    if the WPF designers decided that WPI was sooo important that they would never
    allow anyone to modify the value...
    The first approach I tried used RenderTargetBitmap (created at 96 DPI),
    DrawingVisual, DrawingContext classes. Seems quite complex. It worked, but
    I wouldn't call it elegant.
    After much browsing (and with improving understanding), I found a better approach.
    In simple terms, I set the Image's Width and Height to PixelWidth and PixelHeight
    (which essentially makes the resulting DPI to be 96), and I set the Image's
    MaxWidth and MaxHeight to the space available to the Image in the app, to force
    scaling if the source is too large. I used Stretch=Uniform. Code fragments below.
    The Image is placed in a UniformGrid container which provides the MaxWidth and
    MaxHeight, and which centers the Image inside.
    This approach is quite a bit more elegant, it removed nearly 100 lines of code
    from the app. I still think though that it's not as simple as it could be.
    I had also read about "DPI awareness", didn't really understand it, but it seems
    to deal with DPI of display device, not of source images.
    So two questions:
    1) Is there a even easier way, esp. a way to directly modify or ignore an image's
       DPI values before using it (without copying the image into some new bitmap)?
    2) Barring that, is there something simpler than above?
    Note that I'm fine with the application being otherwise DPI aware (fonts,
    buttons, &c).
    Thanks
    WPF code fragments of the trivial application I used to fine-tune the second
    approach. The two images are 160x100 pixels (but any pair of images smaller
    than the display will do the trick), one at DPI 48, one at DPI 192, and named
    IMG_6726s48.jpg and IMG_6726s192.jpg. The both show at the same size, as I
    wanted.
    To see the original problem as I experienced it, set Stretch=None and comment
    out the two pairs of lines that set image.Width and image.Height.

                Button b = sender as Button;
                string dpi = b.Content as string;
                changeImage(dpi);

    Being able to ignore DPI is all I'm asking for, and what I've always done for decades
    If the objective is to fill the Window, then yes, it's simple, as the following example of a thumbnail image shows:
    <Grid>
    <Image Source="http://leware.net/temper/42fp.jpg"/>
    </Grid>
    Result below. DPI doesn't matter, pixel sizes don't matter, the source fills the Image control, while respecting the proportions.
    But I don't want the image to fill the space available if it doesn't have enough pixels, it looks fuzzy and I don't like that.
    So I add Stretch=None to the Image control, and it solves my problem, the image is shown at a size that corresponds to its pixel size (63x87), centered.
    <Grid>
    <Image Source="http://leware.net/temper/42fp.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
    </Grid>
    The above two XAML fragments give the following results:
    The second is what I want. So Stretch=None, unless the image is larger than display area, in which case Stretch=Uniform.
    Now I try my two test images, also with Stretch=None because they are smaller than display area.
    These two images are both 160x100 pixels, and, when compared in a hex editor, differ
    only in the couple of bytes that store the DPI value (0x0030 vs 0x00c0),
    all the rest is the same.
    <Grid>
    <Image Source="http://leware.net/photo/IMG_6726s48.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
    </Grid>
    and
    <Grid>
    <Image Source="http://leware.net/photo/IMG_6726s192.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
    </Grid>
    Here's what I see:
    DPI obviously does matter here, much to my surprise. WPF's behavior was unexpected. That was my original problem.
    The DPI 48 image is enlarged by a factor of 2, the 192 DPI image is reduced by a factor of 2. What I want is in between, and the same for both images, a display based only on pixel sizes, like most browsers and picture viewers do.
    In other words, I want one image pixel to be one display pixel, downsized to fit if the image is too large, but never enlarged beyond 1:1 to fill the available space.
    I had a hard time figuring out how to get those two small images to show identically.
    I finally got what I wanted with the solution at the top of this thread (overriding size of Image control instead of DPI). I'm sharing because it might help someone else.
    Is there a better way to handle this when the DPI is arbitrary? Isn't there a way to just tell WPF to ignore images' DPI values or simply override it (force an image's DPI to 96)?
    Quite possibly I'm trying to do something which does not quite fit in the philosophy of WPF. Maybe I'm closer now, I'm still learning (this discussion is helping).
    I won't be surprised if my application misbehaves when the DPI of the display is not 96. Not a concern for now.

    As to iPhoto, unless you take a few minutes to actually learn how to use it then you will never be happy. Same with any new PC program that you do not understand. Or a new car for that matter
    A great place to start your education is here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
    As to your specific issue, trivial. Make an album of the photos and manually drag them to the order you want. Events simply do not work that way
    Try to drive your car in Park and you get nowhere because that is not how it works. Any time you use a product incorrectly you will have poor results

  • The requested URL /pls/portal/display.jsp was not found on this server.

    Hi,
    I managed to get ultrasearch running now. The crawling process seems to run smooth. Executing a search gives me the correct result. However, i can not display the documents that are listed in the resultpage.
    The link to the document is like this:
    http://myportal/pls/portal/display.jsp?type=file&f_url=C:\ultra_docs\sultan\filetransfer\htc\site.doc
    The path in the url seems ok to me.
    Cliking on this link gives me the following error:
    The requested URL /pls/portal/display.jsp was not found on this server.
    Please, help me out here :/

    I just tested it by accessing the search page with the following url:
    http://myportal/ultrasearch/query/search.jsp
    This gives me the same result and the links to the actual documents work fine now too! But it is not working from within portal, the links generated by the ultrasearch portlet give me an error.
    The requested URL /pls/portal/display.jsp was not found on this server.
    Please Help me Out
    thx

  • Displaying themes based on Zoom levels in base map

    I am using Oracle AS MapViewer 10131.I have 3 themes added to a base map.
    I am using Oracle Mapbuilder to create Mapping metadata.I want to display the 3rd theme based on the zoom levels.I want to display it only at lower zoom levels.I have followed necessary instructions given in the Mapviwer user guide and mapbuilder help.
    But I am not able to display particular theme based on Zoom levels.
    For example I have min/max scale 70,000/0 for Streets theme set using mapbuilder.This theme should be displayed only at that scale.But I am getting this theme displayed at all min/max scales (zoom levels).While creating the Map Cache Instance given the min/max scales 1000/25000000, the default values.Here the scale values look contradictory to the theme scale values given in mapbuilder.Is this where I am going wrong? or while setting scale for themes?
    I hope you understand my problem.Please help me about this.this is urgent.
    Thanks in advance!!

    My problem is solved now.I am able to display themes on zoom levels.The solution is, I set the min/max scale (zoom levels) in Map Cache Instance as "Ratio" and in theme i set it to "Screen-Inch".The scale of theme is not understood by the map cache instance.So finally i set both the scales to "Ratio" and it is working fine as i expected.
    Anyway thanks for yout interest in helping me.I will surely make a post here if i got stuck in further work.

  • Collecting classroom quiz result and then display them on teacher screen

    Hello,
    I would like, at different moments of my trainings session , to collect data about what my students have understood from the subject we've just seen , in order to re discuss some points if I see that it's not well understood .
    My aim would then be to :
    - simply create some quizz using captivate 5 and make them available on a shared drive
    - each student has a computer in the classroom and they are all connected on our intranet network
    - request students to open one quizz (captivate 5 quizz project exported in flash) and answer from their computer , then at the end of the quizz they would click "submit".
    - then I would be able to display each question and a summary of the collected answers (50% have choosen answer A, ...) and be able to discuss the results with them .
    so I would need to be able to export the result of each user quizz to a file , and have a "teacher" tool able to collect that and display them.
    In classrooms, I have no access to the Internet (so no possible connection to Adobe.com), no access to an LMS , no access to an internal server
    Can adobe captivate save students results to a file (XML, PDF, whatever ...) that could be read by another tool (captivate interface ) to display results.
    I hope that my explanation are clear enought for you to understand my goal. Maybe it's very easy to do that in captivate but I haven't founded how for the moment . (I'm more used to do films in acaptivate).
    Any ideas are welcomed.
    Thanks a lot in advance for any information.

    Oh my god , if you could create sutch a widget you'll be my hero.
    My aim is something quite simple:
    # The whole classroom users would launch an html file located on a shared drive which would contain the swf produced from captivate.
    They would then have in front of their eyes a question  with only one correcte answer
    * What is the color of the black horse ?
    - red
    - black
    - white
    They would select and click "submit" , each user answer would be save on the shared drive (same location as he .html one) in a "container" (xml, whatever...)
    # On the teacher side, the teacher  would load another swf file, which would display the question, then , (if click on next) would collect all data from the containers produced by the students and show a summary of the answers given by the users.
    Ex:
    * What is the color of the black horse ?
    You have choosen :
    - red 20%
    - black 79%
    - white 1%
    The result would be anonymous (it's not needed to know who answered what ).
    The best would be to have in fact two "swf " :
    - a student one with all questions, each question follown by a submit button to send data to the local container
    - a teacher one with all questions, each question follown by the summary of the data collected from the containers.
    Like that , the question is shown , the student answers, the summary results is shown, open debate about it, revision if needed , explanation , ... Then next question , the student answers,.....and so on..
    This tool (widget) would be very usefull because I suppose that I'm not the only one whishing to be able to do this kind of quick classroom survey in any environnement (the only thing needed would be to have computers on a network) . Because it happens more and more to have classrooms which have their own "intranet" not connect to any external ressources.
    Thanks again for anything you may do about this .

  • MS Notepad unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares

    MS Notepad is unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares. But when I copy those squares on notepad to Wordpad or MS Word, they display the Chinese characters just fine. I've no idea why those Chinese characters I type can't display properly on notepad. I check the font of the notepad and it's the default. I've another Windows Vista desktop computer which has notepad of the similar setting and display Chinese characters just fine. Both are using Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New Experience Input Style to input those characters. But I don't understand why my Windows 7 is facing this problem.

    Hi,
    Notepad is a very simple text editor BUT it will work if you use the SAME language in Windows. Please try:
    1. go to control panel, click "Clock, Language, and Region"
    2. click "Change location" under the "Region" section
    3. go to the "administrative" tab, then click "change system locale...", then select "Chinese".
    Regards.
    BH
