Rate it Link for items in a content Area

Hi,
How do I add a rate it link for all items in a content area and track the rating for items by all the users. This is urgent and any help is appreciated
Thanks
Makario

You need to create a custom item type, with a procedure that displays a link to do the rating.
For an example of a custom item type procedure, see Re: personal oracle 9i
Note that the primary key for an item is (masterid, id, caid, language).

Document links and Tables in a content area

Hello,
1. I'm having problems with text items in a content area. I'm trying to make a link to a document in a text item but I only get a 'Page can not be found'. I know I have to change the httpd.conf file settings but so far I have not been able to set it up correctly. How should the excact line look?
In this case I whant to put all my documents in a folder tree in the 'portal_home' directory. For instense:MHC(root folder)/HR/employees.doc or MHC/Finance/Strategy.xls
2. Why is it not possible to make 'invisible tables' in a text item? This way its possible to control the text mutch more and also (as in my case) include pictures within the text. If you want to produce a nice Intranet, the only way with portal (so far) is to make text items, becurse these are the only ones that you can display directly in a folder area and keep the navigation bar to the left. This way the users wont get lost in all the pages and folders.
The problem is this:I want to use the style I've made on all my folders (this way it's easy to change the apperance of all the folders in just moments) BUT if I put a table in the text item (html code) then suddenly portal takes the default settings of the browser instead!!? So if I have set my browser to Arial 15 this is the text I se instead of the text in my style.
Please , do anyone have a suggestion?
I using Portal 3.0.7.6.2 (9iAS 1.0.2) on NT

I assume you are trying to put an anchor tag in a text item, that points to a document stored elsewhere in the Portal repository.
Use a direct access URL (search the online help for info on these) to construct the link to the document. You can use a relative URL by leaving out the "http://server.domain:port" part of the URL - e.g. {a href="/pls/portal30/docs/FOLDER/MYROOTFOLDER/MYSUBFOLDER/MyDocument.DOC"} - I'm using {} here instead of <> because real tags get messed up in these forum messages.
The Portal FAQ explains how to use httpd.conf to define a redirect directive.

No "presence" Attribute for Master Pages or Content Areas?

Is it true that there isn't a .presence attribute for master pages and content areas? I have a form with multiple master pages, and based on certain criteria, I'd like to not display the master page.
This master page has 1 content areas. One is a header area. The rest of the page is content area 2. It is blank. I have a conditional breakpoint that sends line items from a table to content area 2 if I have more than 7 line items.
If I have 7 or fewer line items, I'd like to hide this master page, but LiveCycle doesn't seem to think you should ever hide an entire master page. If I could hide the top content area, then at least the page would print blank.
I can't wrap content areas in subforms. If I could do that, then I could hide the subform.
Thanks!!

My problem is I have page 1 with fields in the header, then there are line items attached to a database table. There could be 1 line item or 200. I can print up to 7 line items on the first page and then a footer must appear on just page 1.
If there are more than 7 line items, I continue to another page. I have to have a bunch of header fields at the top of this continuation page. The line items continue under this. If another continuation page is needed, then the header info appears at the top and then the line items continue. This goes on until all line items are displayed.
I have to use a conditional breakpoint in this line item table so I can tell it to go to a content area under the header on the continuation page. I can't have the line items continue at the top of a page because I need that header.
I define the content area under the content area for the header on the continuation page. I have only been able to define content areas on master pages.
I have more than 1 master page. Page 1 and the final page are on 1 master page and they must always print. The line item continuation page is another master page with 2 content areas (header and line item continuation).
If I have 7 or fewer line items, the continuation page is not needed. I need to be able to hide or display this page dynamically based on the number of line items from the database.
I can show some examples when I get back to work.
Thanks!

Disable link for a Image in Content editor web part

Hi
i want to disable hyperlink for a banner added using content editor web part. Instead of hiding using Target Audience, i want to disable the link.
Please help me how can i achieve this?
regards,
Vinay
Thanks and Regards, vinnu

Hi Vinay,
I recommend to disable the link for an image using Jquery in Content Editor web part.
First, you need to use F12 tool in Internet Explorer(IE) to get the html tag for the image, and you’d better find the class or id value for the tag of the image.
For example, if the class for the image is test, then the code should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.test').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
</script>
You can also paste the code of the image here for further research.
Best regards.
Thanks

Underlying tables for documents stored in content area

Can someone tell me the underlying Oracle tables/views, etc... in which documents are stored when they are uploaded to a content area?
I need this information to write my own customized search routine.
Thanks.

Thanks. Check out the portal30.wwv_things table. (itemtype='file') ...this is not where the actual blob file is stored, but where it is referenced and how it is linked to various items within portal. Hope this helps or at least gets you started.
I beleive that the actual document is stored in wwdoc_document$

How to customize the default add item in a content area

Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
If anyone has any idea, please help me.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
Thanks,
Lan

Translating items in a Content Area

Hi,
Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
what is happening ?
we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Thanks for any help!
Fabian Cretton

Hi Philip
One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
Hope that helps

Rights on URL items in a content area

Hi,
Ok, so now I have my query to retrieve the main URL items (top level branches) in a content area for my treeview. This is the query:
SELECT IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url,
COUNT(IT2.Name) Subs
FROM WWV_THINGS IT, WWSBR_URL$ URL, WWV_THINGS IT2
WHERE IT.SiteId = (
SELECT Id
FROM WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS
WHERE Name = 'CA_NAVIGATION'
AND Default_Language = 'us')
AND IT.Active = 1
AND IT.ParentId is null
AND IT.Id = URL.Object_Id
AND IT2.ParentId(+) = IT.MasterThingId
GROUP BY IT.Seq,
IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url
How do I figure out if the current user has rights to view the item or not? Not all users may see all these URL's of course.
I know how to find the current user, but I don't know how to limit this query to only those URL's granted to the current user.
Could anybody please point me in the direction of the correct table/tables to use in this query?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

Hi,
I've found several docs in the PDK. I've also found a reference to the WWSEC_API, function has_privilege.
But I would like to know in which table I should look to check for rights of users and groups.
In content area X, I have several URL's, each URL has several usergroups that can access the URL. How do I know which URL's to display when user Y belonging to usergroup Z logs in?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

Locking "Portal Administrators" out of items in a content area

I have a content area that will contain sensitive documents.
I've been asked to find out whether security can be set up so
that only a certain group of users can access the content area.
This includes locking out the portal administrators from seeing
these items. Is this possible and how can it be done?
Thanks!
Esther Poulsen

You will always need a couple of users that can function as
Portal superusers/administrators. That said, most
administrative tasks can be delegated and decentralized so that
only these few administrators have completely global
privileges. One of the key purposes of content areas is to
partition security among your users.

Jerry

Get the items in a content area!!

Hello

SubFolder3
Item6
I have to display the names of the items content on this CA on a page, and I need to do It in the same way the structured is show, but that I mean I need to show it like that:
Item1
Name of the Subfolder1
Item2
Item3
Item4
Name of the Subfolder2
Item5
Name of the Subfolder3
Item6
I have found an api but It doesn't have a way to acces the folders of a CA or the items inside an specific folder in order to show the things like I need.
Please help me, how can I achieve that??
Thanks in advance
Ana Lasprilla

You could walk through the wwv_corners table to get a list of your folders and then walk through the wwv_things table to retrieve the items in the folders. Once you have your items you will need to use various techniques to display them. This really gets complicated though because you probably want to display folders and content in the order they display within the content area.
Another and simpler way to at least traverse this content is to call http://server/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsbr_folderxml.generate?p_id=somefolderid& p_siteid= somesiteid
This will produce an xml formatted dump of the folders and content. This goes to the http stream so you will have to capture and parse this.

Export of items in a content area

We have items of type image in a content area. In the
browser the image url appears as follows:
/pls/portal30/docs/1234.gif
When migrating content areas does the item content
also get migrated (eg: the image file) and also
are the appended numbers eg: 1234.gif and itemids
kept the same in the new instance or are they changed.
Also is the correlation between the image and the number
maintained in the new instance.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Yes. All these correlations are automatically taken care.

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?

URL for pages that contain content areas

Hello
I've created a Content Area that has many folders in it. I've created a new portal page with the content area and I want to use URL links to point to that page and a specific folder maintaining my portlets in their place. How can I construct the URL?
Thanks

Hi,
I think I understand your question, however not sure.
What you can do is url linking like:
portalpages:
http://localhost/pls/portal30/url/page/<pagename>
(sub-folder) in contentarea's:
http://localhost/pls/portal30/url/folder/<contentarea-name>/<subfolder>/<subfolder>etc

Inter-site navigation... link to open in the content area

Wanted to know how people are managing inter-site navigation. Suppose I have a set of links defined in the LHS area by using a HTML portlet. URLs on all these links are internal links which can be accessed as http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/url/page/<pagegroup|page>.
Is it possible to define a portlet on the RHS i.e. content area where I can open these URLs ? Will the URL and/or Web Clipping help in any way ?
I can define the URLs on these links as
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/url/page/<pagegroup|page>?url=<page to show> and <pagegroup|page> is the page which holds the URL container. The URL container will be parameterized to bind to the url value.

Check out this posting from a while ago that gives a suggestion on how to accomplish this.
