Portlets on Content Area Page

We are currently using 3.0.8 and are trying to add a footer region to the content area page. So the page has a header in the top region, a navbar and folder portlet in the middle region, and a footer in the bottom region.
When we put the footer in the bottom region on the content area page, it does not show up. If we move it to the middle region directly below the folder portlet, it shows up fine.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, any workaround?

We tried creating a page with only the folder portlet on it for the content area and trying to put another portlet below it. This still gives the same behavior.
We also tried it in 3.0.9 and did not see the problem there.

  • Alternatives to content area pages? URGENT!!

    Hi...
    I am implementing a site in Portal with a static navbar on the
    left side with links to folders... this navbar will remain
    static, the content that changes is in the rigth side..
    If I make a new page from scratch, including the navbar and the
    content area as portlets, when I click on a link on the left,
    the page banner and the other portlets disappear, and appears
    the content area page..... I read that the only way you can keep
    that page appearance is to customize the content area page
    itself.
    Are there any other ways to do this? (not depending of the
    content area page??)
    Please, I need help ASAP!!

    Not in the current release. The next release of Portal, planned
    for early 2002, will make this a lot easier.

  • Difference between content area page and page

    Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
    between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
    the page created in create page tool ?
    I'm really confused.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Maggie

    Essentially they're the same.
    The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
    because architecturally when we display content for you to work
    with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
    content portlet.
    In the next release this will change, there will be only one
    type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
    portlets to it.

  • Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

    Hi.
    I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
    I created 2 regions.
    Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
    Region 2, root folder from my content area
    When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
    Is this by design?
    What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Phillip

    Phillip,
    The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
    Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

  • Apply template for content area page

    Does anybody know how i can apply a template
    for a content area page.
    I have to duplicate everything i did on the template to achive to same look and feel in the content area???????
    !@#$%*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Harish,
    What are you trying to do?
    Are you using an unstructured UI template on your other pages, with release 3.0.8?
    If you are, you could put your presentation code in a stored procedure, and call the procedure within ORACLE tags from the template. For the CA page, call the procedure from a Dynamic Page, and display the Dynamic Page as a portlet on the CA page.
    In a future release we'll be combining portal and CA pages into a single entity, so we won't have these inconsistencies.

  • Blank content area page - hide

    I created a form in Adobe Designer and my content area page is appearing as page 1 when I'm in PDF view - I've never had this happen and I can't delete or move the page (form MUST have one content area). It was interesting because I had 7 pages in my form - everything was fine until I decided to move page 7 to the top (becoming page 1) - from then on my content area page began appearing....any help out there on how i can "hide" this blank page?? Thanks! Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
    Now, the client just notified me that they don't want email submissions so I am off to find out how to se tup teh HTTP side.
    Sorry I am not more help :-(

  • Exporting content areas/pages

    Help please!!
    I have created content areas and pages on the Oracle's hosted portal demo site and need to export them to our own server.. Can anyone advise on how this process is done and if its possible? your help is appreciated...
    thanks

    Hy, there is a white paper about export import.
    But here comes how to do it:
    in $ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu, you can find the import export utilities:
    - contexp.cmd
    - pageexp.cmd
    also the import utilities are here. Use all the parameters in the same order as they come in the example (just type in contexp when you are in the right directory). Do the same for pages. Use -security options if you want to keep the security and the same for contexp with his own -page option. This should be done if you changed the page of the content area. They make a security.dmp and a pobpage.dmp in the current directory ($ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu). If you export 2 content area's don't forget that the -page & -security option will overwrite the pobpage.dmp and security.dmp file, so it will be better to do the export import immediatly after each other. Or copy the files after the export.
    Very important is to check the portlets from the content area's if they exist. If you have a portlet provider in the content area and the portlet repository doesn't show that (refresh in the repository can help) then the corresponding portlets in pages will be deleted.
    Search on Metalink for the Whitepaper Fill in : Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import White Paper and you will find all the information.
    Good luck

  • Site Portlet: Oracle Content Area

    On the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page under the "Content Area" tab someone deleted the "Site" portlet. How do I add the "Site" portlet back to the page?
    I clicked on the customize page and tried to find the portlet to add but it is not listed. I then went to the portlet repository to see if it was expired or something but it was not there. There is a "Content Areas" portlet that lets you select the a content area to go to but the navigate button takes you back to the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page to the "Content Area" tab.
    The same thing happens when you go to the Admin section of a site and try to see the categories for that site. They point to "Oracle Portal Navigator" page showing the "Content Area" tab, which is no longer the site portlet.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Simon,
    the problem is with incorrect HTML generation. Do a 'View Source' of the CA.
    After you manage to reformat the mangled HTML, you will find that there are quite a
    few tags missing. e.g table rows start but there is no open row tag, there is not body close and html close tag (I could go on).
    Netscape browsers are very strict and will trip on incorrect HTML generation. IE might be forgiving .
    Another problem is multiple html,head and body tags. Each portlet in the page generates
    html with these tags. multiple head tags can cause problems.
    Quite a long laundry list. I just spent the better part of 2.5 hrs of my client trying to figure this out.

  • Live html in portlet or content area

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have live html in a portlet. Let us say for example you want to include part of a different web page in to your portal web page, can you put such live content in their, that will change whent the parent web page changes?
    regards

    There are actually a lot of ways to "skin this cat" in portal.. the problem is more likely "which method is right for this situation". One of the easiest ways is to merely add a URL item to a folder. Add the URL of the page you want and select "item displayed directly in folder area".
    This will present the entire page but be warned, if you make an error in the URL address, you will not be able to access the folder.

  • Folder Item displayed in content area page?

    Is it possible to display an item
    in the folder portlet area (to keep navigator bar).
    I want the homepage to keep being displayed with the folder portlet in the same place only showing items description.
    thanks for help.
    jean-noel

    It is the item type that controls whether you get that option. The way around it is to build a custom item type from the text type, then add a url attribute to it.
    This will give you the control you want.

  • The 'Edit folder' link doesn't appear in content area portlet (URGENT)

    Hi! I made three content areas, and published them as portlets in a page. However, when I enter the page as an authorized user, I don't see the 'Edit folder' link on any content area portlet. But if I enter to any of the content area pages with the same user, I see the link
    Is this a bug? What could be the reason?
    Thanks a lot!
    Luis

    try this...
    Edit the page where you added the portlets. Click the edit defaults link next to each of the portlets and scroll down to make sure the show Edit Link checkbox is checked. I don4t see any Edit Link checkbox when I edit the portlet's defaults!!
    What should it be?

  • Cannot publish a folder in my content area as a portlet

    All,
    Has anyone out there experienced or encountered the following problem depicted below. If yes, please let me know what you did or what steps/procedures you implemented to resolve this problem.
    1. Go to content area an click the "Edit Folder" link.
    2. Click the "Create Folder" link an select "container" as your folder type.
    3. Click the next button and enter your folder display name and internal name. Leave the Category combo box as is General).
    4. Click the finish button.
    5. Edit the new folder.
    6. Under the "Portlet Properties" section, set the "publish as portlet" checkbox.
    7. Click the "Apply" or "Ok" button.
    When I click the "apply" or "Ok" button, I receive the following error message:
    Error: (WWS-00000)
    Copyright) 2001, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved
    Location: PORTAL30.wwv_main.main?p_language=us&p_cornerid=11470&p_edit=1&p_siteid=35&p_currcornerid=11470&p_calledfrom=1
    I then click the "back" link on this error page that takes me back to the folder properties page. When I click the "apply" or "ok" button again, I am taken back to my content area page, which is the normal way for this process to work.
    When I try adding a "URL" item to this folder, I get a blank page after hitting OK.
    Next, I then try to add this folder as a portlet on my page. This folder portlet does not appear in portlet repository.
    I subsequently go to the portlet repository and click the "refresh" link. I again encounter the following error message:

    Oracle support is currently working on this problem through metalink. But, if anyone out there has encountered this problem and had it resolved, can you please forward your solution to me.
    This is very urgent.
    Abrom

    In the Catalog, select the folder for the report(s) you want to update in the Folders pane. It should then appear in the Tasks pane (bottom left) with some options.
    Select 'Permissions' and make sure that 'Hidden' attribute is unchecked. That worked for me.
    There's also a 'Show Hidden Items' check box at the top right of the Catalog area that should be checked to view the filters in the Catalog area (rather than when ediiting a report).

  • Content area portlet empty

    Hi,
    I've set the page assigned to some content area as the homepage
    for public users. In this way, when a user enters the site or
    when he/she logouts, Portal shows that page.
    The problem is that the portlet corresponding to the content
    area page shows nothing! Changing the url (like
    http://site/pls/fortal30/folder/...) gets the correct answer.
    How can I change this behavior?
    TIA

    Did you use the generic folder portlet on the page, or did you
    publish the folder as a portlet? If you used the generic folder
    portlet, did you select the folder as a customization, or did
    you use Edit Defaults.
    Assuming that you used the generic folder portlet, and that you
    customized it (vs. using edit defaults), you need to do the
    following:
    - Publish the folder as a portlet, and replace the generic
    portlet with the published folder portlet (this is the
    recommended alternative)
    or
    - Use edit defaults to select the folder you want in the generic
    folder portlet.

  • How to portlets in to content area folders

    hi everybody,
    i need to add portlets into the content area folder.
    Like, how we add portlets into pages(add portlet link).
    is that possible? It is very urgent for me.
    becz. i developed application using pages at first.
    so that i can create user wise portlets,that means, one page for
    all my users. but portlets display will vary according to the
    privilegs.now i need the same thing in content area.
    pl. help me ASAP!
    thanks in adv.
    Kathir

    Portlets can be added to the content area page. You can edit
    this page under Content Area Properties. Note that the content
    area page does not have all the functionality of a portal page -
    for example, it doesn't support tabs and you can't define a
    style.
    In the next release of Portal, content area folders and pages
    will be merged. The merged folder/page can be used for both
    portlets and items.

  • Exp/Imp content Area Portlet..?

    How to Exp/Imp "Content area folder published as a portlet" which reside in "WWSBR_SITEBUILDER_PROVIDER".
    Anybody from Oracle..?
    Thanks.
    Rakesh

    I assume you are using the 309 version of portal. It is possible to export out an entire content area or a page but not the granular items. By granular I mean just the folder in this context. If you wish to export/import the entire content area/page, you can run the pageexp/pageimp/contexp/contimp scripts which reside in the WWU directory.
