How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?

How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?
I use some sofisticated customizing with server-side validation of the form data. I want to redirect to the page of the portlet "show" mode and to the "edit" mode depending on the validation results. How can I do it?

Heay.....this worked for me.
I am able to change the mode programatically from edit to show.
HttpPortletRendererUtil.handleEditAction(portletRenderRequest,"OK");
I removed Apply , OK and Cancel buttons and applied my own Submit and Back button in Personalize mode and then change the mode to show on click of Back button using the above mentioned statement.
Thanks

How to remove default Apply, OK and Cancel buttons in portlet edit mode.

Hi,
Iam facing problem in customizing default edit mode of portlet, my question is how to remove those default buttons and how to implement our own links for SAVE and CANCEL functionality. Because if we implement our own <form> in edit JSP page then default form will override our own <form> and default buttons works rather then our own forms.
Please someone help me on this.
Thanks
Abhishek

Ah, this one is easy, if im not mistaken, set this tag in your provider.xml
<renderCustomize>false</renderCustomize>
Defines whether RenderManager should automatically render the portlet's container (border and title) in "Edit" and "EditDefaults" modes before and after processing/invoking the page.
This however means you have to write your own renderer for the customize page. Then you can add your own code for the buttons and the events behind them.
I created my own derived container and added this line to my provider.xml
<containerRenderer class="nl.rsm.eventCalendar.myContainerRenderer"/>
This is however for rendering the showmode of the servlet, dont know if this is the same
render class for the editmode.
Do you realy need custom save functionality, Oracle also has something called DBPreferenceStore, you can store self defined attributes into the database. Perhaps this is sufficiant enough.
anyway good luck, if you find out all the correct steps to take, please share, im also interested

Portlet edit mode & window state

Hi!
I am developing a portlet that needs to be user-customizable. Hence it has an edit mode. When I publish this portlet and use it in a webcenter app, the portlet becomes maximized when accessing the edit screen. Is there a way to prevent this? I prefer the portlet to stay in normal mode at almost all of the time.

Portlet Edit Mode in a Remote Portlet doesn't work with JSP

I am facing a strange problem. I created a protelet and attached the edit to a JSP Page(edit.jsp). When I create a portlet of this and display in a portal, the edit works fine in case of a local portlet. But when the same is made as a remote portlet, I get an Operation failed fault.
The exception is:
Fault: {urn:oasis:names:tc:wsrp:v1:types}OperationFailed
Internal Server Error: Page Flow [testPortlet.edit.edit.jsp] is invalid..; nested exception is: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Page Flow [testPortlet.edit.edit.jsp] is invalid
Does anyone know why the edit in a remote portlet works only with a page flow?

There is no edit mode defined in this portlet.

WLP 10 & Portlet Edit Mode

Hi,
is it possible (and how) to call a pageflow action in place of a jsp for
the portlet's edit mode ?
Emmanuel

From Workshop 10.0, you can add an Edit mode to the portlet's titlebar
(e.g. drag from the Palette, right click on the titlebar). Then, select
the Edit Mode in the outline or editor window, go to the Properties
view, select the Content Path entry, and push the "..." button. A dialog
will popup which prompts if the you want to select a jsp or a pageflow;
choosing pageflow will give a class picker. Select your pageflow class.
The Content Path attribute will become the /a/b/Controller.jpf uri of
the pageflow.

Upload functin works in Edit mode but not in View mode

I am using the Oracle AS 10g PDK to integrate struts application into Portal. I found the upload function works fine in portlet edit mode, but it doesn't work in view mode (Go to the "The page cannot be found" and URL is "http://servername/portal/page"). Does anybody know the reason.

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.

Add Content button not rendered inside Portlets on edit mode

Hi,
I have a requirement where administrators will add some external content(Add content) either from taskflow or portlet and that external content (along with taskflow output) will be shown to the users based on some logic performed inside the taskflow/portlet bean code.
This PanelCustomziable should render AddContent button inside the portlet when pressing ctrl shiftE, but its no doing so? Where as the same PanelCustomizable renders AddContent button inside the taskflow on edit page? Any settings or changes needs to be done to make it work in porlet when consumed in portal?
a)taskflow cannot be selected for this purpose, as there will be only a single instance of the taskflow across the portal and it cannot retain runtime MDS changes to a specific instance (Unless we design the ADF taskflow with MDS customization layer). By default, any runtime change in one taskflow instance will be propagated to all the other taskflow instances of the portal.
(For eg.. Admin drops this taskflow onto a page1 and adds a image(external content) using the button AddContent inside the taskflow because of PanelCustomizable and close the page. He drops the same taskflow from RC only to find that the changes he done on page1 is being retained here ..its not resuable because of no MDS per instance)
So we selected Portlet for this purpose, as it has the inbuilt personalization framework. Admin can personalize each portlet instance and drops on the the same page and diff page again. But with portlets, Add Content is not rendered.
Its not just external content, the taskflow / porltet has some logic to perform and displays some output based on the ruleId which is the input parameter.
Taskflow or jsff code
==================
<cust:panelCustomizable id="pc1">
<cust:showDetailFrame text="rules content" id="sdf1"
shortDesc="rules content">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pg1" >
<af:outputText label="RuleId" id="ot1" clientComponent="true"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</cust:showDetailFrame>
</cust:panelCustomizable>

Hi,
i am using Workshop 8.1 (GA release july) and i have discovered a bug (ora
feature) with respect to the beta version.
i have created a simple portlet with a view mode and an edit mode. When i
place the portlet on the very first page of a one book portal, it works
perfectly. However, i have a book with three pages and placed the portleton
the second page. Now when i put the portlet in edit mode, by clicking the
edit button, i am directed to the first page of the portal and the portlet
will not show.
Inspection learned that the URL generated for the edit button, didn't
contain the _pagelabel parameter. When i added the parameter manually it
works fine.
A final remark is that the buttons in the titlebar have no icons thebrowser
can load.
hope someone can help me out,

How to customize 'Edit Mode' screen buttons

Does anyone know how to customize the buttons on the screen in 'Edit Mode' of Java portlets?
I would like to change the text of the buttons intead of the standard 'Apply, OK and Cancel'.
Please advise.
Thanks.

You could actually change these Labels on the buttons by modifying the DefaultContainerRenderer for the required PortletDefinition. By default every mode renders data using the DefaultContainerRenderer class, this class is capable of painting the Headers and Footers.
You need to write a new class MyDefaultContainerRenderer extending from DefaultContainerRenderer and override the method renderDesignFormBodyBegin(..).
You should be very careful in overriding this method as not to effect the base fucntionality. Also these Labels are actually NLS compliant so you also need to make sure to be NLS compliant for the new labels.
Finally, you need to specify the PortletDefinition to make use of new MyDefaultContainerRenderer excluding the default one by adding the following tag under portlet definition tag:
<portlet class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.DefaultPortletDefinition">
<id>1</id>
<name>portletName</name>
<title>portlet Title</title>
...... <b><containerRenderer>your.company.package.MyDefaultContainerRenderer</containerRenderer></b>
<render class=".......>
</portlet>

Edit mode in JSR168 Portlet

Hi all,
I m using Portal version 10.1.4 and developing JSR168 Portlet using JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913).
There is a edit mode in my portlet and i have done entry for this mode in portlet.xml and also implemented doEdit() method.
inside doEdit() method i have also written response.setContentType("text/html");
Successfully deployed the .ear and also registered the WSDL url.
But when i click on the Personalize link of the portlet then a page comes with a message
Error: Could not get markup. The cookie or session is invalid or there is a runtime exception.
And the error in wsrp_default_island_1\application.txt is
javax.portlet.PortletModeException: Portlet mode "edit" is not allowed in current context
at oracle.webdb.wsrp.server.PortletURLImpl.setPortletMode(Unknown Source)
Could any one tell me where i m doing wrong.
help will be appreciated..
Thnx

Hi Harsha,
Actually there is a problem with setPortletMode method of PortletURL.
When i use
PortletURL portletURL=renderResponse.createActionURL();
portletURL.setPortletMode(PortletMode.EDIT); (Although it is not required , but in case if situation occurs like if i want to change the mode then it will fail)
In this case if i click on Personalize link then it is throwing an exception.
Is it bug with Oracle Portal , i don't know....
When i comment that code then every thing is working perfectly for me
and the required jsp is rendering in Edit mode of the Portlet.
Comments ans Suggestions are welcome at 24*7 :-)
Thnx

Edit Mode in Portlet

Hi,
Why do we have an edit mode in portlet? What is the advantage of reason for having this mode ? If all edit operations can be done using view mode itself , why do we need edit mode?
Regards,
vivek

Hi,
Edit Mode could be used to set portlet preferences.
You may want to set the maximum number of entries to be displayed at a time(in view mode) to some value.
In weather portlet you may wish to set the units to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Thanks,
Sriram

Acceptable uris for edit mode in portlets

Hi,
I have been experimenting with setting URIs for edit mode in portlets.
It seems that the only two acceptable types of URI are those in the
portal project and those that point to a file in the filesystem. It
does not seem possible to forward on to a webapp in the same project, or
to an external URL outside of the application.
Is there a way to do this, or is this not possible?
The use case I am trying to implement is for all portlets to use a
generic edit page that is maximised. The page will be populated with
the available values for personalization for the portlet that the
request came from, and on submit, will return to the portlet and persist
changes.
Cheers
Dennis

include some content for a given mode/state. PortletRequestDispatcher
can only be used to include JSPs within the same webapp.

How to add URLs in apage without using edit mode

Hello everybody.
We have Portal 9.0.4.1 under Solaris, and we are just beggining using it :-)
We created a section for links (to urls) in the home page of each user. We would like our users to add links to their most used pages (for example, metalink.oracle.com), but we do not want them to enter in edit mode, we would like some functionallity like the "add portlet" in the customize option.
Any help will be very apreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lisandro

The example is generic and not hardcoded to any region on the page ... but has the same "warning" that Mark mentioned about this example not working in future versions if Oracle changes the URL structure:
The Add Item example shows how to create a new item type ...adding an item of this type to any region allows you to add content to that region
The Edit Item example show how to show a edit link or icon next to the item in view mode.
Add Item
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This code sample shows how to create an item allows the content contributor to add items to the page group/page/region that the sample item is placed in.
If you want your content contributor to add items to multiple regions on a page, add the sample item to all regions that you wish to expose this functionality in.
Step 1: Create a PL/SQL procedure
Create the following procedure:
Create or Replace Procedure <schema>.ADDITEM_URL
p_itemid IN VARCHAR2,
p_pageid IN VARCHAR2,
p_siteid IN VARCHAR2)
as
v_url varchar2(2000);
v_region varchar2(2000);
v_looplink varchar2(2000);
v_host varchar2(2000);
begin
select folder_region_id into v_region
from portal.wwsbr_all_items
where id = p_itemid and
caid = p_siteid;
if instr(portal.wwctx_api.get_host, ':') = 0 then
v_host := portal.wwctx_api.get_host;
else
v_host := substr(portal.wwctx_api.get_host,
1,
(instr(portal.wwctx_api.get_host, ':')-1))
|| '%3A'
|| substr(portal.wwctx_api.get_host,
(instr(portal.wwctx_api.get_host, ':')+1));
end if;
v_looplink := 'http%3A%2F%2F'
|| v_host
|| '%2Fportal%2Fpage%3F_pageid%3D'
|| p_siteid
|| '%2C'
|| p_pageid
|| '%26_dad%3D'
|| portal.wwctx_api.get_dad_name
|| '%26_schema%3D'
|| portal.wwctx_api.get_product_schema
|| '&p_containerpageid='
|| p_pageid;
v_url := portal.wwctx_api.get_base_url
|| 'portal.wwv_additem.selectitemtype?'
|| 'p_cornerid=' || p_pageid
|| '&p_siteid=' || p_siteid
|| '&p_regionid=' || v_region
|| '&p_looplink=' || v_looplink;
htp.p('<a href="' || v_url || "><img src="/images/additem.gif"</a>');
exception
when others then
htp.p('error');
end;
Once the procedure has been created, grant EXECUTE permission to PUBLIC.
Step 2: Create a custom item type
This custom item type will be associated with the PL/SQL procedure created above. Placing an item of this type on a page will give the content contributor something to click on while the page is in view mode to call the add item wizard.
Go to the Procedures tab of the new item type and associate with PL/SQL procedure.
Ensure the âDisplay Procedure Results With Itemâ checkbox is checked.
Step 3: Add item of type âAdd_Itemâ to a page.
1.     Configure the Page Group to allow items of your new type to be added
2.     Add an item of type âadd_itemâ to your page.
3.     For the region containing your new item, in the properties, ensure the âAssociated Functionsâ attribute is in the Displayed Attributes list.
Edit Item
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This code sample draws an Edit icon for content contributors to click on while the page is in view mode to edit the item with the default Edit Item wizard.
Step 1: Create a PL/SQL procedure
Create or Replace Procedure <schema>.EDITITEM_URL
p_itemid IN VARCHAR2,
p_pageid IN VARCHAR2,
p_siteid IN VARCHAR2)
as
v_looplink varchar2(2000);
v_url varchar2(2000);
v_subtype varchar2(2000);
v_itemtype varchar2(2000);
v_catid varchar2(2000);
v_catcaid varchar2(2000);
v_parentid varchar2(2000);
v_host varchar2(2000);
begin
select subtype
,itemtype
,category_id
,category_caid
,parent_item_id
into v_subtype
,v_itemtype

htp.p('<a href="' || v_url || "><img src="/images/ed-item.gif"</a>');
exception
when others then
null;
end;
Step 2: Associate Procedure with Item Types
For every item type that you wish to supply an edit icon to show while the page is in view mode, call the EDITITEM_URL procedure created in the step above.
Step 3: Show Associated Function attribute
In order for the procedure associated with the item type to execute, you must ensure the region properties are set on the Style/Attributes tab have the Associated Function listed as one of the Displayed Attributes.
