Query regarding portal look & feel

Hi All,
I have deployed my j2ee application on sap. I also need to change look & feel of my pages(iviews) when user changes portal theme. For this I am passing url of css used by portal to my application, but I am fetching it in login page only and putting it in session so that all pages use the same css, hence user need to click on the first page of my application to reflect changes.
Problem is that if user has opened another page and he changes portal theme, it gets reflected in portal standard components but not in my pages until I click the first page that is for login.
How can I achieve portal's look & feel.
Please suggest...

Themes and CSS. Portal Look&Feel

Hello,
We've modified standard themes from portal. Are SAP Chrome SAP Streamline, SAP Tradeshow
CSS files? Please, we need to know if we can upload CSS file (made by ourserlves) to portal and add it to a user.
Thanks!

Hi,
The standard SAP themes are made up of a number of CSS files that are custom to SAP. You can modify them to create your own themes, however it is not a simple exercise of just uploading your own CSS files.
In general you should use the standard Theme Editor available to administrators in the Portal.
Hope this helps,

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.

Changing look & feel of Authentication Menu

Hello all,
I am wondering if anybody has tried to change the look & feel of the Authentication Menu modules.
The portal comes with the following as default
Authentication Description
LDAP LDAP Authentication
Membership Membership Authentication
XXX XXX Authentication
I'd like to delete the all the descriptions and change all the links from text to images, how would I do that?
I've tried to modify login_menu.html, login_menu_modules.html, had a look at amAuth.xml etc.. but couldn't solve the problem.
Anybody has done something similar please help.
Thanks & regards,
Tim

Thanks for the reply, I've read your article at the following URL
http://softwareforum.sun.com/NASApp/jive/thread.jsp?forum=2&thread=14219&message=26399&q=416c6578#26399
I examined the membership.properties and understood about the mylogin.html that you mentioned in your article. However, this process occurs after the person clicks the option on the first screen. It's called Authenicator Menu which defined by <subst data="rows">No menu?</subst> in login_menu.html.
My question was/is how to change this first screen look & feel, basically split/delete text that generated by the portal?
I am also having another question, how do we put the "Content" "Layout" to the menubar.jsp?
Thanks & regards,
Tim

A query regarding synchronised functions, using shared object

Hi all.
I have this little query, regarding the functions that are synchronised, based on accessing the lock to the object, which is being used for synchronizing.
Ok, I will clear myself with the following example :
class First
int a;
static int b;
public void func_one()
synchronized((Integer) a)
{ // function logic
} // End of func_one
public void func_two()
synchronized((Integer) b)
{ / function logic
} // End of func_two
public static void func_three()
synchronized((Integer) a)
{ // function logic
} // End of func_three, WHICH IS ACTUALLY NOT ALLOWED,
// just written here for completeness.
public static void func_four()
synchronized((Integer) b)
{ / function logic
} // End of func_four
First obj1 = new First();
First obj2 = new First();
Note that the four functions are different on the following criteria :
a) Whether the function is static or non-static.
b) Whether the object on which synchronization is based is a static, or a non-static member of the class.
Now, first my-thoughts; kindly correct me if I am wrong :
a) In case 1, we have a non-static function, synchronized on a non-static object. Thus, effectively, there is no-synchronisation, since in case obj1 and obj2 happen to call the func_one at the same time, obj1 will obtain lock for obj1.a; and obj2 will obtain lock to obj2.a; and both can go inside the supposed-to-be-synchronized-function-but-actually-is-not merrily.
Kindly correct me I am wrong anywhere in the above.
b) In case 2, we have a non-static function, synchronized on a static object. Here, again if obj1, and obj2 happen to call the function at the same time, obj1 will try to obtain lock for obj1.a; while obj2 will try to obtain lock for obj2.a. However, since obj1.a and obj2.a are the same, thus we will indeed obtain sychronisation.
Kindly correct me I am wrong anywhere in the above.
c) In case 3, we have a static function , synchronized on a non-static object. However, Java does not allow functions of this type, so we may safely move forward.
d) In case 4, we have a static function, synchronized on a static object.
Here, again if obj1, and obj2 happen to call the function at the same time, obj1 will try to obtain lock for obj1.a; while obj2 will try to obtain lock for obj2.a. However, since obj1.a and obj2.a are the same, thus we will indeed obtain sychronisation. But we are only partly done for this case.
First, Kindly correct me I am wrong anywhere in the above.
Now, I have a query : what happens if the call is made in a classically static manner, i.e. using the statement "First.func_four;".
Another query : so far we have been assuming that the only objects contending for the synchronized function are obj1, and obj2, in a single thread. Now, consider this, suppose we have the same reference obj1, in two threads, and the call "obj1.func_four;" happens to occur at the same time from each of these threads. Thus, we have obj1 rying to obtain lock for obj1.a; and again obj1 trying to obtain lock for obj1.a, which are the same locks. So, if obj1.a of the first thread obtains the lock, then it will enter the function no-doubt, but the call from the second thread will also succeed. Thus, effectively, our synchronisation is broken.
Or am I being dumb ?
Looking forward to replies..
Ashutosh

a) In case 1, we have a non-static function, synchronized on a non-static object. Thus, effectively, there is no-synchronisationThere is no synchronization between distinct First objects, but that's what you specified. Apart from the coding bug noted below, there would be synchronization between different threads using the same instance of First.
b) In case 2, we have a non-static function, synchronized on a static object. Here, again if obj1, and obj2 happen to call the function at the same time, obj1 will try to obtain lock for obj1.a; while obj2 will try to obtain lock for obj2.a.obj1/2 don't call methods or try to obtain locks. The two different threads do that. And you mean First.b, not obj1.b and obj2.b, but see also below.
d) In case 4, we have a static function, synchronized on a static object. Here, again if obj1, and obj2 happen to call the function at the same time, obj1 will try to obtain lock for obj1.a; while obj2 will try to obtain lock for obj2.a.Again, obj1/2 don't call methods or try to obtain locks. The two different threads do that. And again, you mean First.b. obj1.b and obj2.b are the same as First.b. Does that make it clearer?
Now, I have a query : what happens if the call is made in a classically static manner, i.e. using the statement "First.func_four;".That's what happens in any case whether you write obj1.func_four(), obj2.func)four(), or First.func_four(). All these are identical when func_four(0 is static.
Now, consider this, suppose we have the same reference obj1, in two threads, and the call "obj1.func_four;" happens to occur at the same time from each of these threads. Thus, we have obj1 rying to obtain lock for obj1.aNo we don't, we have a thread trying to obtain the lock on First.b.
and again obj1 trying to obtain lock for obj1.aYou mean obj2 and First.b, but obj2 doesn't obtain the lock, the thread does.
which are the same locks. So, if obj1.a of the first thread obtains the lock, then it will enter the function no-doubt, but the call from the second thread will also succeed.Of course it won't. Your reasoning here makes zero sense..Once First.b is locked it is locked. End of story.
Thus, effectively, our synchronisation is broken.No it isn't. The second thread will wait on the same First.b object that the first thread has locked.
However in any case you have a much bigger problem here. You're autoboxing your local 'int' variable to a possibly brand-new Integer object every call, so there may be no synchronization at all.
You need:
Object a = new Object();
static Object b = new Object();

Changing Look & Feel of Detailed Navigation

Hi Gurus
I want to change Look & feel (e.g. font size, font type, background color etc) of Detailed Navigation in portal.
Please can anyone let me know which PAR file or files I need to modify for that?
Thanks,
Vaibhav Srivastava

hi Vibhav,
I think the below article will help you to get the exact par file, how to modify and see the changes in portal.
-it is my own article:)

How to show different Look & Feel to different users?

Hi,
how to show different Look & Feel to different users?
Thanks & Regards,
Venu--

If you want the user to select then LookAndFeel then Visitor Tools.
If you want to use code and dynamically change it then http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/javadoc/index.html?com/bea/netuix/laf/PortalLookAndFeel.html
if you have only a few combinations then you could even create different desktops and direct the user to the appropriate url

Changing shell, look & feel dynamically in desktop backing file

(I apologize if this post is showing up twice - I tried posting with
google groups but it doesn't appear at forums.bea.com, so I wanted to
post again using xnews to make sure it shows up.)
I have a backing file that I am using with my desktop and I need to be
able to change the shell and look & feel dynamically, based on the page
that is currently active. I am doing the following in the preRender()
method:
String newLAF = "myLookAndFeel";
String newShell = "myShell";
// here is where I would determine the appropriate LAF and shell based on the current page
customizationContext = new CustomizationContext(Locale.getDefault(), request);
customizationContext.setVisitorMode(true);
DesktopView desktopView =
PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().getDesktopView(customizationContext, webAppName, new PortalPath(portalPath), new DesktopPath(desktopPath));
DesktopInstanceId dii = desktopView.getDesktopInstanceId();
DesktopInstance di = PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().getDesktopInstance(customizationContext, dii);
LookAndFeelDefinitionId lookAndFeelId = null;
for(int i = 0, n = lookAndFeelDefinitions.length; i < n; i++) {
if(newLAF.equals(lookAndFeelDefinitions.getDefinitionLabel())) {
lookAndFeelId = lookAndFeelDefinitions[i].getLookAndFeelDefinitionId();
break;
di.setLookAndFeelDefinitionId(lookAndFeelId);
ShellDefinitionManager shellManager = PortalBeanManager.getShellDefinitionManager();
ShellDefinitionId shellId = null;
ShellDefinition[] shellDefinitions = getShellDefinitions(webAppName, request.getLocale(), request);
for(int i = 0, n = shellDefinitions.length; i < n; i++) {
String shellName = shellManager.getShellView(customizationContext, shellDefinitions[i].getShellDefinitionId()).getMarkupView().getMarkupDefinition().getName();
if(newShell.equals(shellName)) {
shellId = shellDefinitions[i].getShellDefinitionId();
break;
di.setShellDefinitionId(shellId);
PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().updateDesktopInstance(customizationContext, di);
This works just fine, but I once the portal renders itself in my
browser, I usually have to refresh the page before the changes to the
shell and look & feel are visible. I would like to do this in the
init() method of the backing file but I do not know how to determine
the current active page from within init.
I would appreciate any help you all could give me in finding a solution
so I do not have to refresh the page in order to see the shell and look
& feel changes. Thanks in advance!
Andy

We essentially have 2 "portals" running inside 1 .portal file. We'd
like to be able to use single sign on and entitlements to allow/restrict
access to various parts of the 2 portals (where certain books are
consider part of portal "A" and others part of portal "B"). If you are
logged in as a super-user, you will be able to access everything. If
you are logged in as user type "A" you can only access portal "A," and
similarly for user type "B" and portal "B."
Portals A and B have each have a distinct header, footer (i.e. shell),
and look and feel (skeleton and skin). If a super-user is looking at
portal A, the portal should have portal A's header, footer, and look and
feel, and similarly for portal B.
How would you recommend we accomplish this? Would it make more sense
(and is it possible) to have the header and footer jsps determine what
content to render based on the current book or page, and then use the
code you suggested below to change the look and feel dynamically?
Thanks,
Andy

in order to pick up the changes for that request you will need to do a redirect back to the server (our login examples shwo you how to do this). this is because the control tree has already been retrieved from the database (so you need to go back and get a new version).
I quick note: If you plan on doing this a lot this is quite a heavy process. if you just need to change the lookAndFeel on the fly you can look at the following ( i t think this is in the tutorial portal)
A) Modify the shell to include a jsp and backing file
<netuix:header>
<netuix:jspContent backingFile="com.acme.DynamicLookAndFeelHeaderBacking" contentUri="/portlets/lookAndFeel/dynamicLookAndFeelHeader/dynamicLookAndFeelHeader.jsp"/>
</netuix:header>
B) backing file looks like
public void init(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
// Get the session from the request
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
// Get the LookAndFeel object from the PrimaryTheme in the request
LookAndFeel lookAndFeel = LookAndFeel.getLookAndFeel(request);
if (request.getParameter("defaultButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "default");
if (request.getParameter("textButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "text");
if (request.getParameter("classicButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "classic");
String selectedSkin = (String) session.getAttribute("skin");
if (selectedSkin != null)
lookAndFeel.setSkin(selectedSkin);
lookAndFeel.setSkeleton(selectedSkin);
lookAndFeel.reinit();

Fahed,
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I am speaking about the Java console opened when you run your form (the little coffe-cup icon in the quick task bar) that should show something like this:

Query regarding the fields details in particular form for all the users in

Dear All,
I have one query regarding the fields details in particular form for all the users in company.
Let take an exapmle if i had created Purchase Order having fields in content tab as 1.Item No. 2.Quantity 3.Unit Proce 4.Total 5. Location.
While Login in User manager i set these fields only for Purchase order , but when i login from other user and open the similar purchase order the defaults fields are also seen including above 4 fieds .
Now my question is how to set the User choice fiels for the particular form that are common to all users.
Means whenever i login in any user and opens the same document the same fields should be seen....Thanksssss.........

You have to login with each and every user and do the Form Settings of every forms, so that all the forms look same for all the users.
This is a manual job and you have do do it with every user login.
Alternately, you can try out this link that explains

Cache query in Portal

Hi,
I am facing issue on caching for query in portal in Production. I have query called ABC in production with variable Master valid on for user to chooce the date. This varible is hardcoded value in General Precalculation in variable assigment session. Eg. If i run OLAP Cache today then it will hardcoded to 18.9.2008. I cannot change the production query to set to System current date unless I use new technical name for any changes eg XYZ.
Can i use different technical name for query in portal eg. XYZ in order to capture master valid default to today date ? I will do Broadcaster - OLA Cache for xyz and does it also cache for ABC (query in portal)
The purpose of caching is to happen to query in portal. Please advise.
PY

Hi,
Then looks like a problem with their user roles. Try to do the Root Cause. Meantime copy thier roles to new ones or change them slightly so they work.
