Chromosomes and genes in portal look and feel

Hi everybody.
Has anyone experimented succesfully the use of genes and chromosomes in bea portal 9.2?
I have troubles with look and feel editor, that doesn't show inlined css, and runtime also, that seems to always
get the default.chromosome file instead of the one i configured in the .laf file.
Any point? Thank you.

In regard to your chromosome not working: if you created your .portal file first, and then changed the .laf file, you'll need to reload the markup from Workshop. See the second bullet item on this link: http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs92/portals/develop_portals.html#wp1011140
If you want, before you do the above, you can check the markup of your .portal file to see if it's correct. Open your .portal as XML, and find the <netuix:lookAndFeel> element. It should have a attributes for skinChromosome and skeletonChromosome that equal your new .chromosome file's name.
I don't believe that the Look and Feel editor supports inlined CSS rules at this time, but that is an optimization in scope for the next release.

Wireframes to portal look and feel

hi,
i am working on a webcenter portal application.
as usual, we have got wireframes (html prototypes) from customer which has html, js and css files.
now i have to produce same kind of look and feel on webcenter portal.
please suggest what shall i do?
is this recommended way?
i copy content of css file which i got as part of wireframes into portal-skin.css file, now i use html components (div, ul, li, p etc) in page template and other jspx pages (reference could be the html files which i got in wireframes).
please suggest.

Hi.
You can select two ways:
- Continue with your HTML + CSS and create templates based directly on wireframes. Faster and easier solution for non-adf people.
- Translate your wireframes to a ADF Templates and use ADF Skinning to achieve the styles. Slower and hard if you don't have much experience with it.
About the solution of maintain HTML + CSS:
- Maintain your structure of CSS, images and JS in separated folders of skin folder (In Web Content or in project PortalWebAssets).
- In Skin files (like portal-skin.css) change ADF Skinning of components only. Is the best way to maintain the hierarchy of adf skins.
About the solution full ADF:
- Read this document about full ADF Skin and Templates: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/portal/learnmore/pagetemplates-1438595.pdf
More info:
- In adf-config.xml you can provide rewrite rules to search your static-files when you are using Web Server (OHS) to server static-files.
I hope this help you.
Regards.

Instant portal Look and Feel

Guru's,
A customer is looking to brand an instant portal. Here's my question.
Can they change the CSS that is delivered with Instant Portal to Brand?
Can they use the HTML Template capability within Instant Portal
Kwesi

Search this forum for tips. There's an unsupported API (wwpob something...), or you can do a recursive query (think CONNECT BY) that crawls up the page hierarchy or you can select the page GUID from wwv_things (which I'd need to remember how to do), and then access it using /portal/pls/portal/<GUID> syntax.
I'd kinda recommend the last option. It looks to me that Instant Portal does something to that effect.
Thanks for mentioning Instant Portal. I showed it to our web content guy, and he's all excited about it for solving the "i need a departmental intranet!" quagmire.
Now all the portal CM guys need to do is extend those amazing, AJAX-y Instant Portal bits to the rest of the product! That would definitely lower the ease-of-use barrier.

How to give BSP Iview look and feel of portal??

Hi All,
I've created a BSP application that I use to create an Iview for portal.
I thought that if i used htmlb tags that the look and feel of portal would be automatic to my app but its not.
I've tried assigning portal css classes to a html table but there's no effect.
I've previewed one of the standard ivews and viewed the source and found the path of the css file. But when i looked for it on the server, while the out folder was there (com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata) , there was no css files in this folder.
So i'm at a loss. In summary, how do i get my bsp app to have the portal look and feel????? I would prefer to use the css files so that if any changes are made to the standard, the changes will be reflected in my custom iviews too.
Any help, would be most welcome,
Liz.

Hi Liz,
on the properties tab for the BSP application try selecting the "Supports Portal Integration" checkbox.
Cheers

SAP Portal Custom Themes to change ESS/MSS UI Look and feel , possible ?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the look and feel of the UI controls of the ESS/MSS applications have to be different - Jazzy
I know XSS homepage framework is for the customisation of Areas, Sub Areas. What I am more interested is only the look and feel UI of ESS/MSS applications.
If I change the standard theme of portal using Theme Editor and create a new custom theme with different back ground colors, fonts, sizes for all the UI controls,.Will the customised Theme apply on the standard ESS / MSS screens ? Also my doubt is we are using EHP3 and I am not sure how many are Webdynpro java based or webdynpro Abap based.
Will the theme apply to both WDA and WDJ application UI controls?
Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks in advance.

Instant Portal Look'n'Feel

Hi,
is there any easy way to transfer the Instant Portal Look'n'Feel into Enterprise Portal?
Are there specific stylesheets that could be plugged into Enterprise Portal?
Any info would be much appreciated?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi
I tried to personalize the instant portal look and feel but it drove me crazy.
Styles are very complex and generated by a stored proc that you can't modify.
In standart portal, it is easy to manage with UI templates, but in instant portal you simply cant' modify them.
If you find a way to do so, let me know.

How can I include a portal component look and feel in a java servlet

Does any body know how can i include a portal component look and feel (tables, buttons, etc) in a java servlet?

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.

Guru.

2)once login to the portal i need display the some company related information along with different ESS services .i want to remove the masthead area and in the role area want to display different services.
please guide me to achive this.

Thank you in advance.
Swapna

Hi Swapna,
Portalapp.xml is the configuration file of portal application holding comonents and services. Where as authschemes.xml file is used to determin and tell portal which of the user authentication schemes is to be used. It also tells portal about which logon PAR file should be used. It is defined inside following tags.
<frontendtarget>Logon PAR File Name</frontendtarget>.
Take a scenario for example. You have created a custom logon PAR file and made some changes. You cannot see the changes before deploying it. You have to deploy it first. Now, you want that whenever somone logon to portal, your logon PAR should be referred and executed. Authschemes.xml does this work. It maintains a reference to the PAR file that should be used for logon.
Now, still have to create a custom authschemes.xml file and upload it. (Follow this link for the authschemes file location http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/3afd4e641b8f42ac07bb77fe30375b/content.htm)
Refer this link for details on authschemes.xml file: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/1dd4516c518645a59e5cff2628a5c1/content.htm
Let us see in brief what are the steps executed:
1) You request a portal login
2) Portal, after receiving a request, looks for a reference to which Authschemes file to be used. It finds it in Visual Admin
3) Once portal have the name of authschemes file, it parse this file and determin what are the authentication schemes to be used and which logon PAR should be executed.
4) Only after these steps, it renders logon page to you
Once you do all these steps, you can see the result on logon page itself. You do not have to look for deployed PAR file.

Iplanet portal server look and feel limitations

does anyone know what's portal server look and feel limitations? Eg : what components that cannot be changed? Thanks a lot.:)

Actually, you have an almost clean slate. You need to have some sort of header (though I suppose it could be 1 pixel high...), and by turning off the channel frames, you can eliminate the portal feel altogether. Take a look at www.tntvacations.com to see a portal server. The only way you can tell it is portal is through the URL... behind the scenes, it is set up with the thin-thick-thin channel layout, with 8 channel providers. The header and secondary menu components that are part of the customized desktop servlet.

Change of Layout/Look and Feel in BI 7 Reports.

Hi,
This is Prem from NetWeaver Portals.
Currently we have a couple of BI 7.0 reports integrated into portal.
We have also used Portal Themes to alter the Look and Feel of the BI reports with respect to Heading colors, alternate row colors etc. But the scope of changing the Look and feel of BI reports from the Portal theme is very limited.
Is there a way to modify it further from BI's CSS?
Where is this functionality provided in SAP BI 7.0?
We are also interested in changing the Layout of the reports in BI. i.e. unlike the standard BI format of reports as generated from the Web Application designer, we would like to change the layout as well.
How is this layout change carried out? Web Templates?
Kindly spell out a solution for me as I'm not aware of BI
Thanks and Regards,
Prem

How can I include a JSP, Maximized, and retain look and feel(WSRP)

I have created a page group and defined a root page with a certain look and feel. There are two portlets on the page. Once the user clicks on a submit button, the portlet performs some action and includes a jsp included in the EAR file. The portlet needs to maximize the UI to display the jsp correctly.
Once control returns back to the screen, the look and feel is lost and uses Oracle's default style. I have two questions:
1. From the portlet, how can I retain the look and feel of the page group when referencing "external" jsp (i.e JSPs in the deployed portal EAR file).
2. How can I "redirect" the user to the home page in a standard way? If there is not a standard way, how do I use the Oracle specific utilities to do it?
All of my JSPs are developed externally out of the scope of the Oracle Portal.
Environment - Oracle Portal 10.1.4 on Release 2 using WSRP to contact Oracle Release 3, hosted EAR file (WSRP Producer).
Thanks in advance.

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel.
