Portal search from an external website

We have a requirement to extend the portal search capability to other websites. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this.
Basically the client has an Aqualogic 6.1 portal and also hosts a number of websites on a separate (i.e.: non portal) web server. They are unhappy with the search provided by MS Index Server and would like to use the Portal search from these static websites.
My thinking is that we can crawl the content of these websites into Aqualogic and use the PRC (search API) from these websites to execute the user search. I'm figuring that this should be possible if we install the ALUI API service on these web servers (effectively making then Remote Servers?)
Any thoughts?
thanks in advance
Simon

Let me see if I understand this. The client has a few static HTML websites that have no relation to the ALUI portal, but you want to you the portal search engine to search those sites?
Yes, your proposed solution is certainly possible. You could crawl the contents of those websites into specific folders in the KD and set the security so only a specific user (which you would use to authenticate in the custom search page) can see them. You don't even need to install the ALUI API service on those web servers to do this. The API endpoint URL of the portal needs to be accessible from those web servers, and you just need to reference the portal IDK dll or jar files when you write your custom search page.
I have done something similar to this, but the static web site was actually migrated in to be a part of the portal. Still a separate URL and look and feel, but hosted on the portal. However, I did crawl all the pages in and have a custom search page using PRC to search for documents. It works like a charm.

Invalid parameters request by calling from an external website

Hello,
i have a problem calling a Bi-Publisher report via "Link" from an external website.
I get the following error-message: *"Invalid parameters requested."*
There are two parameters. The first one is a line_id and the second one is a head_id.
Before calling the template there is a insert-Sql-statement on the database (initiated from the external website).
Because of that there are new values in the table of the LOVs.
I think the problem is that the LOVs of the parameters are inconsistence. The values are out of date.
After waiting several hours the error message disappears and the report could be called from the external website.
Is there a way to refresh the parameters before calling the report from an external website?
Any other ideas?
Thanks ahead for any ideas, solutions or workarounds!
Edited by: user12052573 on 02.06.2010 01:37

I found the problem: Its due to the menue-parameters and their List-Of-Values.. It seems like a cashing-problem or something like that...
Changing the parameters to so called text-parameters solves the problem.
Maybe this workaround helps guys with the same problem...

Post to authenticator from an external website / html form

Is it possible to post to a authenticator from an html page containing the form located on an external website?
I have developed a custom login module for the portal server, so I tried fiddling a bit and cheating with the states. Problem is the login module still expects to be called first for displaying the form... resulting in the fact that a form post to the authenticator displays the portal login form in stead of actually validating credentials right away.
I am trying to achieve something like the login box topleft on http://mysun.sun.com/
Anybody who has experience on this part and can help me out?

What you might want to do is look at the way that the login provider has been built.(Usually available when using anonymous login).
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="arg" SIZE=-1 VALUE="newsession">

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="page" SIZE=-1 VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Submit" SIZE=-1 VALUE="Login">
This seems to almost just "pass" the credentials through to the authenticator. It also destroys the current session, and forces the portal to start a new session.
You can find more info on this in the Release notes for SP3/SP4. See http://docs.iplanet.com

Can I really not download music from an external website to my IPad Air?

Hi guys
I've recently just become an apple user and am having some teething problems
Basically I'm a DJ and download music from certain websites ( beatport being one of them) . I have just bought the Traktor app on ipad to try out too.
What I'd like to know is how to save this music to my ipad, someone told me this is not possible....? That sounds completely absurd
There must be a supported/ reliable way to do it....do I really have to download to my comp then drag and drop...? What about uploading what I already have on my computer, can I upload to the cloud then download that way...?
Please help lol

Others may have mentioned this.
Download your music on your computer. Then load all your music into iTunes on your computer. Create playlists etc. in iTunes. On the computer. After you've organized your music there connect your iPad to your computer. You can then select the music you want to sync over to the iPad or choose to sync it all.
Any time you add more music to iTunes on your computer a quick sync to your iPad will copy that over for you.

AVG Secure Search appears when I use Google Search from my Home page only.

My home page is the Firefox default page with the Google searchbar. I like getting occasional messages from Firefox when I log in so I don't want to change my homepage. However, when I use the searchbar ''on my homepage only'', I get the unsatisfactory AVG Secure Search results.
UPDATE: I now realize all the troubleshooting information I included in my original question appears under the "More System Details" link next to the question, not in the body of the question. I have copied it here to make it easier to see what I have already done to try to solve the problem, as well as describe the one clue I have that may be relevant:
I have tried all the fixes on various threads, but my about:config is now pristine (no avg or isearch mentions; keyword.url is default). Closest solution is that at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/866327 , which requires changing my home page.
Oddly, AVG Secure Search is ''not'' a problem when I use the Google toolbar or search from the Google website, only when I use the search bar that appears on my home (start) page. This is true even when I return to my home page--if I search from the Google search bar in the middle of the page, I get sent to AVG Safe Search. (isearch.avg.com).
I read in one thread a suggestion to delete my chromeappsstore.sqlite file in my Profile folder. As promised, Firefox created a new one when I restarted it; however, the search bar in the middle of my home home page did not work at all. Tried this three times before restoring my original.
I do not have an application that will open a sqlite file, but I tried doing so in Excel and found a cell containing the following:
emoh.:moz-safe-aboutsearch-engine{"name":"AVG Secure Search","searchUrl":"http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={7A3C25A0-E345-4507-AA31-D98F596A81A9}&mid=c48135235ba247d18ac1d14b344db451-addd29eab2809954d5abdf0b991a5b911a297819&ds=is015&lang=en&v=10.0.0.7&pr=sa&d=&sap=dsp&q=_searchTerms_"}
I have no clue what that means, but it is the only thing I can find related to Firefox that still mentions AVG and isearch.avg.com.
At this point my best guess (but it is a guess) is that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file is a key to the complete solution, but I do not have enough knowledge to go beyond and address it. I appreciate any help you anyone can offer.

Here is the way to get rid of the problem once and for all:

Redirecting to external website from abstract portal component?

Hi,
I have developed an abstract portal component and trying to be redirected to an external website ex : www.google.com
here is the code...
public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
HttpServletRequest req = request.getServletRequest();
String queryString = req.getQueryString();
String redirectURL = queryString.substring(queryString.indexOf("=")+1);
HttpServletResponse resp = request.getServletResponse(true);
resp.sendRedirect(redirectURL);
OR
RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("www.google.com");
rd.forward(req, resp);
But couldn't able to redirect in either ways ..
exception was ... iView not found: www.google.com.
Any help?
Thanks
MMK

Hi Mohan,
When you do a redirect you need to provide a URL. From javadocs
Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL. This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet container will convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response to the client.
Thus when you provide just "www.google.com" the converted complete URL will be something like http://portalserver/irj....www.google.com whcih of course does not exist as a portal component. Thus you get the error iview not found.
Hence you need to give a full URL and not a relative URL.

Hyperlink from MY website to a specific area on EXTERNAL website

i was hoping to use an HTML snippet to accomplish this on iWeb. i've spent several hours on google, and this forum too but found NOBODY addressing this:
i need to create a hyperlink from MY website to an external url. the external page needs to open at a very specific area on the page. i see that this is done on hand-coded websites.
most iWeb discussions were about hyperlinking to lower down on the same page or within the same website where 'anchors' can be used. obviously that can't be done when linking to an external website.

Cyclosaurus i appreciate your quick advice.
the external site i am targeting is:
http://www.tcg.org/international/events/festivals.cfm
scrolling down the page, i want to land on this sub-headline beginning at "Rome, Italy"
i.e.
Rome, Italy
IL VATICANO CADE: The English title of this play by American writer Frank J. Avella is Vatican Falls, but the fi............
if that site is coded so that it can work, i would so greatly appreciate it if you can indicate the actual HTML to put inside the snippet --- i'm an artist, and the rigid 'science' of code is always a challenge. thanks again

Photos moved from an external HDD to another: Search and replace paths?

Hi everyone,
I've been using iPhoto for a few years now and today I have iPhoto '09. I never let iPhoto copy my photos in its library when importing them, since I have most of them stored on an external hard drive. (Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
I have moved my photos from a small 160GB external hard drive to a new 2TB external hard drive. The problem right now is most of my photos in iPhoto can no longer be displayed. It offers me the option to locate a file every time I open a photo, which I can do, but doing the same task for each and every picture among thousands is daunting.
To manage photos not stored within its library, iPhoto creates an alias to each picture file. I found a Bash script allowing me to perform a search and replace on all symbolic links in a specific directory. However, the problem is aliases are not the same as symbolic links.
Is there any way for me to perform a search and replace on all the aliases within the iPhoto library in order to make them point to the new hard drive now containing the pictures?
By the way, I'm also having a similar problem with iTunes:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2190505

This issue is the main reason why I never recommend a Referenced Library. Some folks have had success using an app called _[File Buddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy]_ to reconnect the aliases. If that fails then I'm afraid then you will find yourself reconnecting them manually.
Running a Managed Library this issue simply doesn;t arise. And of course, you can easily run a Library from an external disk and easily move Libraries between disks.
Should you wish to consider converting from a Referenced to a Managed library, then AliasHerder is an application that will replace these aliases with the actual files, and so preserve your Library and all your work in it. As always: back up first.
(Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
How iPhoto names the folders within the Library Package is irrelevant as you never access them that way.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed a guest OS

I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
A summary of what I have tried:
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
- Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
- Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
- Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
- Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
- Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
- Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.
