Portal Home Page function as Main Menu

Hi Portal people,
How do I create a "home" page for my portal?
I'd like my home page to provide links to the other portal tabs, like the role of a "main menu" on a website.  How will I even know for sure which tabs/roles exist for the user?
I've create a role called "Home", assigned it to all users, and I put an iView on it called "Home".  How do I put links on this page to the other tabs?  Does anybody have any sample code they could share?
Thanks for any help!

Hello Kevin,
First, watch out for the previos post since it (implictly) assumes you are programming your home page in Web Dynpro. If so than everything is OK but if not than the API used there as an example won't work.
Second, diffrentiate between two scenarios:
1) The home page links to pre-defined tabs, regardless of user roles (just like in http://service.sap.com). In this case the only thing you need to know is how to expose varios tabs\pages as URLs. Just have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2d/91e33edd37de63e10000000a11405a/content.htm.
2) The other, more complex, scenario, is where you want your homepage to present the links depending on the user's roles and authorizations. Please look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/6fc3400f230366e10000000a1550b0/content.htm for a more detailed explaination about navigation API and how to use it.
Best of luck,
Amit

  • Urgent: cannot access the portal home page because of problem’s language

    I have installed Oracle 9iAS, including infrastructure with language FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15 and portal and wireless type I don’t have problem for access to http://machine:1810 and http://machine:7779 in French.
    But when I access this url: http://machine:7779/pls/portal, there is a error : java.io.IOException:

    When I install infrastructure, I select FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15. I check in sql*plus in the v$NLS_PARAMETERS and NLS_LANGUAGE is FRENCH, NLS_TERRITORY is FRANCE, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE is FRENCH and NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P15. It seems all well.
    But I check in the Windows registry, I find that NLS_LANG is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252 under under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME1 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME2. Then I correct in FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15 in the Windows registry.
    Also I check in EM web_site in
    To check the DAD settings, in my EM Console, I go to Http Server/PLSQL Properties/DAD status. I correct NLS Language with FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15.
    Also I correct langinst.cmd under OH/portal/admin/plsql to replace WE8MSWIN1252 with WE8ISO8859P15
    case f:
    setenv NLS_LANG FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15
    breaksw
    case frc:
    setenv NLS_LANG FRENCH_FRANCE. WE8ISO8859P15
    breaksw
    All that I do is not useful for access the portal home page, thers is always the error java.io.IOException: Unsupported character encoding: "ISO-8859-15"
    I don’t have problem in language English. My page portal is running well in a another machine where I install Oracle9iAS in English, but I have always problem in the machine where I install Oracle9iAS in French.
    I find there are lots of this problem in this forum, but there isn’t a answer. So thanks for anyone to resolve this problem.

    Hello Michael,
    Thanks for your help !
    I think that the problem is in the PlsqlNLSLanguage. But I couldn’t check it now with the version French WE8ISO8859P15, because today I’ve installed oracle902 AS with WE8MSWIN1252 and it functions well. I find the PlsqlNLSLanguage in my $ORACLE_HOME_INFRA/Apache/mod_plsql/conf/dads.conf is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252
    , and in my $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/mod_plsql/conf/dads.conf is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252. But I don’t understand why it doesn’t create the language’s problem.
    I will try again in another machine with WE8ISO8859P15.

  • Logoff and personalise link on custom portal home page

    Hi,
    I have created a PAR file in NWDS for Portal home page. In that i have created a header and a hover dropdown menu.
    I want to add a logoff link and personalise link on it. i have tried to add the link using tag library <frm:logOffAnchor/>. bt this doesnt help.
    please help.
    Regards,
    Rahul Doshi

    did you reference html tags library for this? If no look at portal masthead par file to get information.

  • # in link goes to Portal home page??!!

    Hi,
    We have developed a page template with a drop-down menu. In this menu we have a <A> tag that is not supposed to be linked anywhere. We have therefore written a # in the href. ex: <a href="#....."></a>. In Portal this # takes us to the Portal Home page. Is there a way to avoid this?
    We need the <A> tag because we use javascript events.
    Regards,
    Anniken & Lene

    Hi
    anchors (#) doesn't work because Portal puts a <bas href="path"> in the <head> section and this href is usually .../pls/portal
    So when you want to go to your anchor x further down on the page the browser thinks you want to go to .../pls/portal#x an´d that ends you up on the portal home page.
    There is a javascript fix for this. Search "HTML Anchor" in this forum (that is the title of the thread).
    Kind regards

  • I have a portal home page with a navigation

    I have a portal home page with a navigation bar that is accessible to the public. This site also contains information that can only be accessed by privileged user. Therefore, I have a login/logout icon on the page.
    The problem that I am currently facing is that when I go to the page without logging in, the navigation bar is not visible. The only thing that is visible on the navigation bar are the links but without the labels. Labels or texts that are not links are visible. When I log in, only then is the navigation bar and its contents visible.
    Can someone help me resolve this problem? Is it a "style" problem or is it "security" or "rights" problem?

    Go to Settings in Chrome.
    Then in On Startup either check the Open the New Tap pag, Continue to where left off, or edit Open a specific or set of pages. It appear you have the last one checked and it is opening up that page.

  • Portal home page error after install

    Hi,
    I recently installed 9ias on solaris succesfully into its own oracle home(db cache failed but not worried yet). portal install went ok, but i can only access the admin gateway and not the portal home page. I get 500-Internal server error. Tried checking jserv config - looks ok, I can run 'IsItWorking' servlet ok but still get error - has anyone else seen this - any clues?
    thanks.....

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Jasen Jacobsen ([email protected]):
    I just went through the same problem with a Win 2k install. The 500 error turned out to be a problem with my DNS and proxy setup. If I understand things correctly, when you hit the portal page (http://<hostname>/pls/portal30/ you are redirected to the real portal application. My machine is not registered with the corporate DNS so even though I could hit the admin pages, and the Apache test pages, when I was redirected to the Portal pages a DNS lookup was attempted and things choked.
    I've fixed the problem, for now, by telling my browser to ignore the proxy server for my portal machine's name. But now I can only hit the portal from the machine it's installed on. The long-term solution is to get the DNS issue resolved.
    Hope this helps.

    Jasen,
    Please check out the Standalone Laptop configuration option discussed in the Oracle9iASPortal Configuration options white paper. I believe it will help you resolve your hostname issues. The direct link to the white paper on OTN is http://technet.oracle.com/doc.pdf/iportal/config_options.pdf

  • Unable to login from portal home page

    We have installed oracle9iAS portal service. we got the portal home page but when we pressed
    login link on this page we got an error saying
         Error: You cannot login because there is no configuration
         information stored in the enabler configuration table. (WWC-41439)
    we just want to know furthur details about this.
    will you please tell us details about this.?
    Actually when we were installing oracle9iAS we got some messages saying that some queries could not
    execute and asked for continuing with default settings. So we continued with default settings after
    several RETRIES.
    The database for oracle9iAS exists in different machine in the network.(I think this is not a problem)

    run ssodatan.cmd (for NT)if this is your only node.
    or
    run ssodatax.cmd (for NT)if you are associating portal to an existing Login Server
    The scripts reside in your %IAS_HOME%\portal30\admin\plsql directory

  • How can i change the Oracle applicaiton server 10g portal home page

    I have this page http://<site>/portal/page?_pageid=#,#&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL and i want to change the page . i can go to the edit mode and change it but i want to really change at the code level. THanks in advance

    You can accomplish this via Portal. Log in as a site administrator (Portal or Portal_Admin). On the Portal Builder page, go to the Services portlet & click on the Global Settings link. Here you can set the Default Home Page from a list of pages in Portal.
    If you change the default home page, this will also impact your administration accounts. I strongly recommend changing their profiles to use the Portal Builder home. Otherwise you may lock your admin accounts out from being able to make changes. You can either 1) create a group, add admins to group, & create a group profile or 2) modify the admin account's profile(s) In the main Portal Builder page, on the right you should see portlets for Portal User Profile and Portal Group Profile & they each have a Default Home Page settings. The order of precendence is Global -> Group -> User.

  • When i publish the website only the home page is live (site menu broken)

    Help! I have created a basic site with about 4 pages and a blog. When I try to publish it (both on .mac and on own domain) only the home page is accessible. The site menu does not seem to be working.
    imac (2.16 ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You used the automated publish to .Mac? You didn't publish to a folder and then copy to your idisk, did you?
    If you publish to a folder, can you go into that folder and open the main page and navigate around? If not I'd say the whole thing is corrupt or something. I'm just asking if it works BEFORE you upload it to .Mac or a third party host.
    Have you tried starting over? Or at least make a new site with two pages on it and see if you can go back and forth between the pages.
    If you think it's corrupt and there is nothing else in iWeb I would delete the domain file from ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb before you start creating again.
    Don't get mad at me for asking - you aren't trying to navigate around in iWeb are you? Mistaking it for a browser?? Sorry, had to ask.
    Won't be back online for a few hours...

  • Default language in portal home page

    Hello,
    I want allways show my public home page in czech language at the first time and on this page user can change language to other language, but at next first visit this page I want this page in czech language again.
    Does anybody any idea ?
    Thank.

    Dear Phanikumar
    Easiest way would be to disable the ability for the user to choose their language in the portal environment.

  • To create home page which consists of menu for other pages in a tree format

    hi, i'm using Jdev 11g, i want to create one home page which having a tree format menu for other pages ,plz tell me

    Hi,
    the tree structure must be defined in a tree model that you then associate as the value to the tree component. I think the best doc to start with is from Trinidada: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/tree.html
    Note that ADF Faces components base on Trinidad, so the docs can be used here as well. Also, while you are on this page, have a look at the XML Menu Model, which is a nice way of creating hierarchical structures in XML so the structure is not hard coded in a Java class

  • Can`t access Portal Home page: 'PORTAL.WWPOB_PAGE must be declared

    When I try to access Portal's home page (http://server:port/pls/portal) executes Home procedure and redirects me to http://server:port/portal/page?...
    Then an error happens, "The Listener returned the following Message: 404 not found.

    Any help please ?

    Fco. Javier Pozo, from the bug info you provide I assume you are running a version of Portal 9.0.2.x. After having a quick look at the patches you mention I see that patch 2943209 seems to make changes to the WWPOB_PAGE package
    As far as your language install commands, the first one looks fine and would have installed language 'e' (spanish I think) in both portal and single sign-on server. So I'm not sure why you ran it a second time to re-install language 'e' into single sign-on server only, but I don't think it would break anything.
    I would recommend checking that all your db packages are valid and making aure you didn;t recieve any errors in applying all the actions you listed. If this doesn;t fix the problem then go back to your backup which you would have taken before applying these patches and re-apply them one by one, checling at each stage to see if your Portal is still OK.
    Otherwise you should call Oracle Suport and log a TAR as I assume you have access to Oracle support and they are who told you to apply these patches.
    Cheers,
    Mick.

    I have installed Apache on different port 8080
    I have installed JBoss on Apache
    I have changed the ip address couple of times and changed back to determine IP address automatically as it was.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
