Returning Hyperlinks in Portal Pagelets

I created a component that stores announcements in a table that are posted in a pagelet in an employee portal. I would like to embed hyperlinks in the announcements, but they are presented as raw text in the return set.
Is there a trick that I can use by changing the xsl code?
The administrators will use an html editor to generate the code and will paste it in a text field to be saved to the database. When the pagelet launches, it will display a list of current announcements like:
* There will be a Spring Book Fair at the Main Street Location, click here for more info.
* All Manager Surveys are due by May 23

Would't be easier to create component with a long field on it?
The announcements that should be presented in the pagelet could be entered using the Rich Text Editor (introduced in PT8.50), which automatically stores the data in HTML and presents it as HTML, so you can have hyperlinks. PeopleTools provides all the necessarily features to accomplish this.
See following demo I had created on Interwindow Communication and pay attention to the right pagelet, with hyperlinks.

Web modules: return hyperlink not generated

Designer Version 10.1.2.0.2 (shipped with ODS10gR2):
When generating web modules, the preference "Build return hyperlinks (MODBRL)" doesn't show the expected behaviour. No return hyperlinks are generated at all. I didn't use web module generator with earlier releases, so, I don't know if it was different there.
regards
Thomas Dombrowski

This feature uses a cookie to save the return hyperlinks that are to be displayed on the subsequent screens. Unfortunately, many people disable cookies in their browsers for security reasons. That could be why you aren't seeing the return hyperlinks. The feature does in fact work, but not for everyone, which is why I started hand coding return hyperlinks in the user text instead. It is more work, but more reliable.

Hyperlink to Portal iView

Hi Portal Knowledgeable ones,
I can not get a hyperlink on a HTML page to position the user on a different portal iView. The custom HTML page exists on another web server (not the portal itself). The custom HTML page displays in the portal using a "URL iView". The link I am using works fine when I enter it alone in a web browser. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the link that I am using:
<A HREF="Link to Other Role" onclick="return EPCM.doNavigate('https://myserver.company.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.company.ROOT/com.company.Common/com.company.common.Roles/com.company.common.roles.ProfileManagement/com.company.common.iviews.ChangePassword')">
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
your URL iView is URL isolated, this means is rendered within an iFrame. So you cannot call EPCM directly, only via EPCMProxy; but also this must be loaded from the integrated HTML page, and - ! - the URL from where the pages gets loaded must be "relaxable" (if your portal is your.portal.server, the integrated site may be someother.portal.server).
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/27/41b84033a8b533e10000000a155106/frameset.htm for EPCM proxy, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/b3/7b8163404448e7aad7899c0b30313e/frameset.htm and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/2d/91e33edd37de63e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm for direct nav URLs and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/43/0029d0e7371aa2e10000000a422035/frameset.htm for programmatically creating nav targets.

Hyperlink in Portal

Dear Experts,
I am using SRM MDM catalog 3.0 and hyper link Qualified table for Images. Below are values in Q.Table
Type --> 'Rendered'
MIME Type --. 'JPG'
URL --> xyz.jpg
URL DESC --> image of xyz
I am not able to see the URL in Portal side. Please let me know any setting required in OCI mapping or any other.
Please help me.
Regards
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
Please can you detail your issue. Are you not able to see field itself OR you are able to see field but not the values as hyperlink..
If you are not able to see field then you have to configure the views in the SRM-MDM UI.
If field is visible then what are you seeing in that field? And how you want it to appear?...
Regards,
Shiv

PeopleSoft portal - Pagelet

Hi All,
I am trying to display 2 different components in a single pagelet. we will be displaying one components page while loading the pagelet with a button. On click of that button we will be displaying the second components page. Again this second component page will have the button to go back to the first component.
We had done this in PT8.49 through IScript based pagelets. We will be passing the component URL to an iframe to display the component. On click of button again we will be generating the next component url and passing it to iframe then %response.redirect url. This is perfectly working in PT8.49. But we got a problem with PT8.52 iframe auto resize hence planned to change the IScript based pagelet to component based pagelet.
Is there any other better approach to do this?
Is it possible to acheive by giving HTML data source --> Pagelet wizard method?
Thanks,
Hari.A

You can enable it in Peopletools > Portal > Structure and Content. Then go to Root >Portal Objects >Homepage >Tabs and click on Edit for the My Page content reference. Then click on Tab Content and you can enable it there with options.

Hyperlink for Portal pages

Hi guys,
Please I need your help. I am currently using Enterprise Portal 6 sp9 . My problem is I want to know the API or Par file that I can use to extract the hyperlink of my portal pages.
Thanks for your help.
Dakata A. Ibrahim

HI Abdu
I think you need com.sp.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwcapi.jar.
In Portal
Goto System Administration-Support-
portal Runtime -Browse Deployment-:ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc/lib
There you will get com.sp.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwcapi.jar.

Carriage return on the portal displays as # on the smartform

Hi,
I am creating an invoice through the portal. In the portal I enter three lines of text for billing header text. After each line I hit a ENTER.
When I view the invoice the three lines in the header text are displayed allright however when I try viewing the invoice on a smartform , i see that each of the ENTER after every line shows a ## i.e.
LINE1##LINE2##LINE3.
The function module being used to read the text is READ TEXTINLINE and I have narrowed down the problem to this function module. Data by this module is being read from the text memory and reads in the format above. I need to either use another function module or need to format or convert the data as required (without the #'s) . Please let me know the best strategy and how to implement it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Use the SPLIT V_STRING AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
Ex.
DATA: V_STRING.
DATA: LT_STRING TYPE STRING OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SPLIT V_STRING AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF
INTO TABLE LT_STRING.
Thanks,

Different behaviour between IE6 and IE on opening Office documents via KM

Hi all,
we're in the process of rolling out Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and noticed something unexpected when opening non-html documents from a KM navigation iview. When clicking on the links in the ivew the documents are all opened in a new window because the hyperlink / href contains "target=_blank". When the document itself is for instance an Excel document, the browser will ask wether you want to open the document or not. When you choose to open the document, Excel launches and the blank IE6 window is closed in the background. When the user is done with the document he or she will return to the portal screen.
This nice behaviour does not occur with IE7. The blank window remains open so when the user closes the Office document they are looking at an empty IE7 screen.
Is there any way to fix this by customization or even by code change? It seems to me that this is more a SAP issue because for all HTML pages and for all documents that have IE plugins such as PDF'syou want to open a new window but for the others you want only the application to be lauched, not an empty IE.
Message [3141588|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=147594&messageID=3141588#3141588] seems to deal with the same problem and got a somewhat disturbing answer.

I found the solution on another site, superuser.com, so I can't claim the solution as my own, but it worked for me. Kent Ng says:
I face the similar issue with Excel 2003. If you have installed Skype-Click-to-Call, just removed it to resolve this issue.

Opening of PDF using PAR component

Hello
I'm trying to display a pdf in the portal. The data for the pdf has to come from the backend. My question is as follows:
We've developed a ADOBE print form in R/3 and developed a FM which calls this form.
1. What should be the data type of the parameter that is returned to the portal after executing the FM. Should it be XSTRING or something else?
2. How do we open the pdf in portal.
There are certain posts from Detlev and Prakash Singh which speaks on this. But I could not figure it out. Can somebody please give a sample CODE for opening the pdf?
Note: I'm using PAR component for the display.
There is a mention of some weblog of Prakash :
Create an excel file from JAVA using HSSF api
But I'm unable to locate this weblog. Can anybody please help me out as I'm stuck.

Forgot to mention that I dont want to use iText api's.
Thanks
Aditya

Report Parameters don't work as portlet

I have a report from a SQL Query with parameter options in the where clause. When I launch from the customization page on Manage Component, everything works well. I have now exposed the report as a portlet and when I click on customize or edit page and enter the parameter and press Apply or OK, it returns to the portal page and no results are returned. Am I missing something obvious here or is this is bug.
Thanks
Jody Clayton

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using? Try refreshing the page. It might work.

The preview option in FCK doesn't work when using trought an external app!

Hello everyone!
I have an issue with the FCK-editor when using in an external application.
We are executing the “WCM_EDIT_DATA_FILE” service to launch the FCK contributor application in a portal (Webcenter) so we can edit datafiles. The preview option (preview butto) does not apply a region template and the content is shown in the same order as defined in the region definition. Viewing the same datafile trough Site Studio I can see that the preview option applies a region template.
I've compared the links but I am not getting anywhere.....
The links for the preview are:
Via the portal:
http://MyServer/vcc/idcplg?IdcService=SS_QD_GET_RENDITION&coreContentOnly=1&dDocName=DF_NEWS_BERLIN_8&dID=765&wcm.contributor.mode=false&IgnoreContributorOnly=true&previewId=1276003853183&WCMPopupId=POPUP09875462424653607178
Via Site Studio:
http://Myserver/VCCPOC/index.htm?wcm.contributor.mode=false&IgnoreContributorOnly=true&previewId=1275983448108&WCMPopupId=POPUP07808631203986127290
I can see that the portal link has the same parameters as the Site Studio link and some more. I even tried adding a region template in the url by adding my template as a parameter like this "&templateDocName=RT_BOUND_DETAIL_VIEW" just to force it but without any luck. The same goes for the "view differences"-button in the FCK editor.
Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks

Hi Stijn,
Here is the link to the SS-services:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10615/c11_ss_services.htm#insertedID0
And here is the link to the CS-services:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/services_reference_10gr3en.pdf
The name of the service that creates new data file is CHECKIN_NEW_FORM.
Saving the file from the FCKEditor makes the browser window "greyed out" so for the time being we are hitting the "go back"-button in the browser to return to the portal... as we open the editor in the same window as the portal. However, there must be another solution as this is fare away from user friendly!
Let me try to answer some of your questions:
- Are you also using the Site Studio publishing functionality (we will not)
No, we are not either.
- where will your site design be done (we'll try to do as much as we can in WebCenter to keep it all in one place; we might even just output XML with our templates from SS, and transform it in WebCenter using different "templates")
We are also planning to have it all in WebCenter. We are using SS for creating region templates and subtempalates used in the portal (Webcenter/ADF) for showing the same data files in different ways. That means that we also have elements, region definitions, placeholders and so on in the SS.
- what are you doing with inline images in the FCKEditor (we want contributors to be able to upload there images easily from the Editor, without the need to browse to UCM)
Well, for the time being the contributor must browse the some images from the CS because the images must have a certain height and width... so that is our way of controlling that the user is choosing from the approved images. When it comes to images in the text the contributors can add as many images as they want that are not from the CS. They can just copy/paste them in the editor from whatever location they want.
- is it correct that the metadata tab cannot be used in combination with profiles defined in UCM (see other thread WebCenter Content
I've heard that before so my guess is that it's true. My question then is how do I do to hide the metadata tab if I do not use it?
- will you be using the ctrl-shift-F5 functionality to edit content, or just create a link to the WCM_EDIT_... service in a popup window?
We create a link to the WCM_EDIT_... service that opens in the same window as the portal.... but as I mentioned earlier that is not the most user friendly solution so we probably must change that....
Now back to my problems:
I know why the preview trough the portal and the site studio differs.
The services that are used when previewing content trought the SS are:
SS_SET_PREVIEW_ELEMENT_DATA
SS_GET_PAGE
LOAD_DOC_ENVIRONMENT
The services that are used when previewing content trought the portal are:
SS_SET_PREVIEW_ELEMENT_DATA
SS_QD_GET_RENDITION
LOAD_DOC_ENVIRONMENT
The SS_GET_PAGE actually shows a page in SS and as soon as there is a region template attached to the page you are able to see the content the way you want. That is not the case then calling the SS_QD_GET_RENDITION service. So my question is if there is a workaround where I can force a region template to be used con conjunction with the SS_QD_GET_RENDITION service?
Anyone? All ideas are really appreciated!
