Portal Theme - Detailed Navigation Changes

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to take the detailed Navigation block as drop down from the 2nd level navigation?
The detailed navigation block is always displayed on the left side of the portal page. The requirement is to display it as drop down from the second level navigation i.e. from the navigation panel as appears on SAP screens.
Please tell me if it is possible and how.
Thanks,
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
first, welcom in the SDN forum.
About your question: No, this is not possible by standard means. The only thing you can change how the TLN works is setting a hover effect, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/a16a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm but this is not what you want.
To achieve this, you would have to implement it by your own.
Hope it helps nevertheless

Detailed Navigation: Change Font per level?

Hi Guys and Girls,
I've got a simple question. I just can't find out where to modify it. I hope it is possible without any developments.
I want to change the font per level in the detailed navigation. Resulting in a more Website look 'n Feel.
Eg:
Level 1: Bold and Dark blue, Level 2: Yellow, Level 3: Black
Hope you can help,
Thx,
Geert

I'd start by editing these style sheets:
nav_ie6.css
tree_ie6.css
They should be under your theme's laf directory...do a search.

PDK iviews refresh the Portal's detailed navigation

Hi All,
When a postback occurs in my PDK iviews, both the iview and the detailed navigation are refreshed.
Is it supposed to be like that?
Is there a way to prevent it?
(It doesn't happen with Web Dynpro iviews for example)
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
One of the properties of an iView is Isolation Method.
If this property is set to URL the iView will be rendered into it's own iFrame and not to the page one.
But this will disable the server side eventing between portal components, so take that into consideration.

Default Detailed navigation and Portal Favorites naming and sections

Hi,
I want to manipulate the 'Detailed Navigation' and 'Portal Favorites' on left side menu of my manuscreen. I want to rename them and manipulate to add my own iViews fixed iViews under the Portal Fvorites.
Now, I do find the Portal favorites default iView under ortal menu Content provided by SAP - end user content - Standard Portal Roles, but it is an iView, and I can't add iViews to an iView.
I don't find the default Detailed Navigation iView nor page.
Does anyone know how I can change these settings to fit my menu, without having to create a pop-up page?
Kr,
hilde

Hi,
To fine the Detailed navigation iview:
Goto Content provided by SAP >end user content>standard portal users>Default framework page>open Desktop innerpage-->here you see detailed navigation iview..
Change the name of the iview goto iview property-->Change the Name property...
Add ur iview in to the role & open it.. It will open in the content area then add this iview to portal favorites..click on the right top corner menu & select Add toportal favorites...

Can you programmatically change properties of the Detailed Navigation?

Is there an SAP EP6.0 API call to allow one to programmatically change the width of the Detailed Navigation, or programmatically hide or unhide it? I realize that this can be preset, but I am interested in dynamically changing these values.
Thanks,
John

Hi!
If you look to the sourceCode of your EP (rigthClick->show source) you'll see that some JavaScriptFiles are loaded. One of them is called:
"WAandNavPanel.js"
Inside this file are some nice functions like "collapsePanel()" and so on. I didn't try, but perhaps you can use them or they can show you the right way.

Changing the Look of Detail Navigation area....

Hi all,
I would like to know,about how we can achieve the same look n feel of Detailed Navigation that we see in the SDN page.
To be specific, for the Detail Navigation area we have a bar with arrows at two ends, one, to increase the size(width) of Detialed navigation area and other to collapse the DN Area.
Here in the SDN page we can see just a white arrow to collapse the DN area ( without the two arrow sign to increase/decrease the width of DN area).
I have tried with some of the options from the Them Editor of Portal Display but was unable to get the same.
What customization needs to be done to achieve this feature in our EP.
Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Regards,
NR

Hi
To achieve this in SDN we have created our own desktop, which includes our own iviews for each of the different areas. Therefore we entirely use the functionality of the EFP (Externally Facing Portal) and essentially the portal light framework.
However, you should be able to create a something without going to all of this effort. The bit of HTML that is generated for the expand/collapse icons is done in the com.sap.portal.layouts.framework component in the WAandNavPanel.jsp (for the full portal) and light_WAandNavPanel.jsp for the light portal. You could therefore create your own layout page (based on this standard) and simply remove the HTML.
Once you have then deployed your custom component, you need to create a page template from this, using your new custom_WAandNavPanel. Create a new desktop (or change the standard one), and replace the standard framework page with your customer framework page.
Let me know if you need more information about this and I can try and help as much as possible. There are various other threads that include how to customise the desktop, etc.
I hope this helps

Thanks,
Vaibhav Srivastava

How to change label of Detailed Navigation

Hello Forum Friends,
I have en EP 6.0 on WAS 640 SP19 on Netweaver 2004 , and I have structured a navigation hierarchy with a 2 level Top Level Navigation and with a third level in the Detailed Navigation, so that the third level constructs itself in the Detailed Navigation. But I need to figure out if I can change the label of the Detailed Navigation Iview, this is if I have in the Detailed navigation nodes relating to years, instead of having the Detailed Navigation Name in the name of the iview it displays Years as label, also in another page if the nodes in the Detailed Navigation are related to (for example) months, it displays Months in the Detailed Navigation iview name , since my boss doesn't want to see the label Detailed Navigation, but he want to have a label related to the content that is displaying.
I don't know if I can change someting dinamically with the Detailed Navigation Iview to have this behavior or if you can provide another workaround for having this behavior.
Thanks in advance
Luis
Rewarding point will be given.

Hi Luis,
The non-programming way to do this is the following:
1. Make Deltalink or hard Copy of the DTN and place them in you customer specific namespace. Do this for every title you need.
Lets say for this example 3 (Year, Month and Week)
2. Rename the iViews as you want (Year, Month and Week)
3. Add these DTN iviews as Dynamic navigation iViews to a all the pages that they need to be visible with.
If you don't have all the content yet you could better create a page template and add the renamed iView to the different Page Templates. Then create the pages based on these templates. Saves time when you need to change something in the future
4. Create a copy of you Frameworkpage and remove the default DTN of it.
5. Assign this framework/desktop to everyone who needs these "special labeled DTN"
I hope you get what I mean with this... If you want to do this with programming you could remodel the SAP DTN or build your own DTN based on TAG libraries.
Good Luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

Dynamically changing the detail navigation

Hi all,
       can anyone please tell me how to change the detail navigation dynamatically..
Regards,
Jeyasingh Samuel

Hi Srinivasa,
There are 2 things you can do:
(1) You can simply set the invisible property for the iViews (I think this is what you want).
You create a settings page which lists all the iViews, and when the user clicks a button, the page gets all the settings for all the iViews and sets the invisibility property for all of them.
The invisibility property indicates whether to display this object in the TLN/DTN.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(IPcdContext.PCD_PERSONALIZATION_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
//Create loop of all objects
    String pageID = "portal_content/DanielContent/DanRole/Folder1/Folder2/Page1";
    IPage myPage = (IPage)iCtx.lookup(pageID);
    myPage.putAttribute(IAttriView.ATTRIBUTE_NAVINVISIBLE,"true");
    myPage.save();
The above code is for a page, but you can do the same for an iView.
(2) If you iViews are in a page, and do not appear in the navigation tree, but you want to make them invisible, you can set this property on the iViews.
myIview.putAttribute(IAttriView.ATTRIBUTE_AVAILABILITY,IAttriViewValues.AVAILABILITY_VALUE_AVAILABLE);
myIview.save();
Either way, make sure to set the personalization environment variable when you do your PCD lookup, as shown above. Otherwise, the changes for one user will affect all users.
Hope this helps.
Daniel

Changing look of Detailed Navigation

Hallo,
Can anybody tell me how to change look of Detailed Navigation globally for all pages or for certain page?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

Hi Josef,
lines between entries are not possible with the theme editor, I believe.
On which SAP EP version are you?
If applicable use the new navigation tag lib (SPS14) otherwise I would suggest to update to this version.
You can achieve any design you want with this tag lib.
Directly editing of the DetailedNavigation-iView is a nightmare (I tried it by myself). And you will have the problem of keeping everything compliante in new versions (which will be the next nigthmare).
This is the link to the documentation of the tag lib:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/f35146a7203255e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
Please note, that the example of the DTN iView there has a bug. See this thread for a solution:
Re: EFP - DTN - Null Pointer Exception

Changes not reflecting in Detailed Navigation iView

Hi,
I want to change the font size of the links that appear in my Detailed Navigation iView.
When i change the font size in the List Detailed Navigation section of the Navigation Panel in my theme,the changes are not reflected in my Detailed Navigation iView.
But changes to welcome area etc are happening.
Could you please help me on this.
Thanks
Saurav

Hi,
try to change the "font size" or "base font size" in the "navigation panel styles" under Navigation panel, then the font size will effect to all in navigation panel.
If you want to apply only to Detailed navigtaion iview, change in "font weight of an item" in detailed navigation list of navigation panel.
hope this helps you.

Changing the Detailed Navigation link

Dear All,
I need to change the Detailed Navigation link so that it is right aligned and the arrow image is followed after the link.
Ex.    Sales Reports =>
when it is opened then the following should be the view
          Sales Reports *
                   Report1 o
                   Report1 o
Do let me know if this can be achieved by any theme settings; if not then what should be the approach for the same.
Regards,
Samir

Hi Samir,
This is not possible by just theme settings, For this you need to modify the Detailed Navigation Par file.
Download the the Detailed Navigation par file open the jsp page and saw the columns .

Changing the Position of iview in Detailed Navigation

I want to change the position of the iview in detailled navigation, Ex i have 4 iviews in detailed navigation as
1
2
3
4
now i want to bring 4 up, in the sense between 2 & 3.

Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
You can try below options -
1) Go to content Administration. Locate your Default Framework Page assigned to your Desktop .Double click it, a new window opens on right side. Out of various iviews, Check Desktop Innerpage and select Open tab. It will display 6 iviews. From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Detailed Navigation iView (com.sap.portal.detailedNavigationTree) and click Properties. In the displayed Property Editor, check, set, and change the properties of the Detailed Navigation iView, as necessary.
2) You'll get a bak file for detailed navigation area.The par file is com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree.par.bak. You can get this par file from server System Admin>>Support>>Portal Runtime>>Browse deployment>>WEB-INF>>Deployment>>pcd. Import this par file into ur NWDS and edit it accordingly.

Dropdown toplevel navigation using portal theme

Hi everybody,
I successfully created a TLN with suckerfish dropdowns using this blog
EFP: Working with the new Taglibs - Part 3
I get the dropdowns on hover but they do not inherit the look and feel of the portal. Instead of inheriting the theme of the portal, it is just displayede as plain html links.
I would like these dropdowns to inherit the same theming as the portal.
Can anybody help me on how to do this?
Thank you
Kr
wouter Delellio

Hi,
If you want to inherit from the Portal theme, check the CSS classes that are used and try applying them to the suckerfish elements.
I guess you use the Navigation Taglibs, so you may end up using anchorAttributes.
--> check the SAP Help Portal for details about navigational tag libs
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/DE/42/f34c5ea7203255e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
The kind of CSS classes you are looking for : .prtlTopNavLnk prtlTopNav1stLvl-i prtlTopNavContainer
Hope your are familiar with CSS, otherwise it is going painful...
A really powerful tool for this is Firefox + Firebug + Web Developer.

Guillaume
