Search Multiple Content Areas

We are running portal version 3.0.9.8.5 and would like to include 2 content areas in the search results. Right now we have the ability to search all or one content areas but not multiple.
Is this functionality feasible?

The search engine is not set up to tackle more than one (but not all) content areas in 30985. so even with your own search screen this is not feasible. This functionality will be available in the next major release.

JavaScript search main content area of a page

Hi
I am hoping someone might be able to help. I am new to SharePoint and I'm looking to write a script on the master page which searches through the main content of a certain webpage.
My question is; what is the variable for JavaScript to call the main content area so I can search it. I believe it is something like item.maincontentarea?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
This could sometimes happen because of multiple users working on the same content .

Searching a content area with a (java) function

I have to write a function (possibly java) for running an
Intermedia search on a portal content area. The function should
be called with search parameters, returning a list/array with
search results.
I saw the submit_search PL/SQL function (I could even call
directly the search URL with all the parameters), but both the
solutions returns a quite complex html page, difficult to parse
for getting results in a table/array.
Any suggestion?

The actual query that we use for advanced search is quite
complex and subject to change from release to release.
Depending on what you want to search on, you could try using the
content area views that are documented in the PDK instead of an
interMedia search.

Jerry

Searching multiple Content Server Portlets

I am able to search single Content Server Portlet and get results using following lines of code.
IPTSession ptSession = new InProcSession();
ptSession.Connect(AppSettings.PTUserName(), AppSettings.PTPassword(), null);
IPTSearchRequest ptSearchRequest = ptSession.GetSearchRequest();
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_APPS, PT_SEARCH_APPS.PT_SEARCH_APPS_CONTENT);
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_ASSOC_PORTLET_ID, 10468);
IPTSearchQuery ptSearchQuery = ptSearchRequest.CreateBasicQuery(query, null);
IPTSearchResponse ptSearchResponse = ptSearchRequest.Search(ptSearchQuery);
return ptSearchResponse;
However Type Cast exception comes at run time when we pass array containing multiple Portlets ID although code gets compiled
IPTSession ptSession = new InProcSession();
ptSession.Connect(AppSettings.PTUserName(), AppSettings.PTPassword(), null);
IPTSearchRequest ptSearchRequest = ptSession.GetSearchRequest();
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_APPS, PT_SEARCH_APPS.PT_SEARCH_APPS_CONTENT);
int[][] ar = new int[2][];
int[] int1 = new int[]{ 0, 10468 };
int[] int2 =new int[]{ 0, 23757 };
ar[0] = int1;
ar[1] = int2;
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_ASSOC_PORTLET_ID, ar);
IPTSearchQuery ptSearchQuery = ptSearchRequest.CreateBasicQuery(query, null);
IPTSearchResponse ptSearchResponse = ptSearchRequest.Search(ptSearchQuery);
return ptSearchResponse;
It will be quite useful if anyone of you can help us if Plumtree API support this. Or else we need to build another layer to search each Portlet and merge results.
Platform Details:
Plumtree Portal 5.0.4
Content Server 6.1

Hi Praveen,
I have not done portal configuration for SAP DMS. But as per the link below, you can assign multiple SAP DMS repository managers which can refer to separate content servers.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/EN/32/2a840d132af04fa2f0b31ebf3e8a78/content.htm
Wait for other expert comments if they can answer your query.

Problem with multiple content areas

Hi,
I'm stuck with following problem. I need to build the form that should contain two logical areas on the each page. Main area should handle main form content (long table) and another area containing barcodes(dynamic list that should be filled from xml). Each area must be flowed cause both table and barcodes data may be longer than their subforms.
I've made one master page with two content areas on it.
I've made main form page with two flowed subforms and customize their pagination so that each subform overflow be directed in corresponded content area.
It's seems like all ok, but here's the problem:
While the table data gets overflowed to next page, the barcodes data starts to filled ONLY when the table data ends.
e.g. I've got 3 pages of table data first and more 2 pages of barcode data next instead of only 3 pages with all data compiled together.
Can you help me with this issue?
Thanks!

Thank you for quick answer!
sad to hear that such a logical way of solving the problem is impossible in LC..
Maybe you can help me to find a right way?
little more details about my issue:
I need to manage the form so that it could include both table and barcodes(list) items (while each of them may flow onto multiple pages of the form). E.g. table lasts 4 pages and barcodes lasts only 2 pages.
Table and barcode items are filled from xml file.
e.g.
123456
I've make a sketch of desired form layout:

Please, help me to find right way of doing this?
Thank you!!

Searching Multiple Content Types

What is the best way to do an attribute search across multiple content types that may or may not have the same attributes? I've subclassed the document type to create an image type like they have in the examples. I would like to do a search across the name attribute of the document and the height attribute of the image. The results I get is the cartesian product of the two classes which is not very useful. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that it displayed only the first eleven content types after you set up multiple content type in your libraries.
I have created lots of content types and added them to library and it worked fine.
Please check the configuration of the content type order in library settings -> Change new button order and default content type, and provide the screen shot about is.
Please add multiple content types you created to other libraries and other libraries in other site collections and test whether this issue occurs.

Searches In Content Areas

Can AND/OR logic be used in searches?
Is the length of the query field fixed or can it be expanded?

Moving a folder, Linking between content areas

I have 2 problems:
1) So far we developed all our content in a single content area. We would now like to split the information into multiple content areas. The MOVE or COPY command on the folder only allows me to copy within a content area. I have hundreds of documents to move. Is there any way i can move a folder to a different content area?
2) What is the best way to link a folder from 1 content area to a folder in another content area? I found that the FOLDER LINK ITEM allows me to connect only within a content area.
(I would prefer not to use an URL since the content publishers may not be able to construct complicated paths or the paths may change leading to broken links.)

Suraj
1) The only way to do this currently is to create an export of the content area, import it back into the portal and remove the duplicate content. We are planning a bulk action feature in a future release that would allow you do to selectively copy/move one or more folders into a new content area.
2) Currently folder links are scoped within a content area; the only option is to link to the folder through a URL folder type. If you use the generated URL that contains the folder ID, you shouldn't run into any problems if the target folder is moved. I have submitted an enhancement request to extend the folder link to 'remote' folders outside of the 'home' content area.

Hide Content Area in Advanced Search page

How can we hide some Content Areas in the 'Advanced Search' page (3.0.9)?
Thanks.

You can create a test case based on the JHS Demo (shipped with JHeadstart 10.1.2.2) or the HR Schema (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/jhstutorial/index.html#setuphrschemaanddata). Please e-mail it to [email protected],
* removing the cabo folder from the web root (public_html) before zipping it, it makes the zip much smaller
* renaming the .zip file to something like .zipped, otherwise our mail server will not process it

Content area & search portlet

Hi Everyone,
I have a couple questions and hope that some of you can give me some insight, thank you so much in advance!
I need to implement a search portlet. I realized that there is one built-in portlet that came with the 9iAS. But it does not provide all the functionalities that I need. For example, I would like it to be customizable, therefore the drop-down-list lists only the content areas customized by the users and it only searches in those areas.
Here are the questions:
1) It seems that the built-in Search portlet uses the database provider. am I right? Where can I find its provider and also its jar files (I am guessing it is written in Java).
2) If I have to write my own Search portlet, then I need to get the information about the content area such as which table the content area objects are saved to and how many content areas and in the area etc...
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vince

There are some secure views that are available as part of the Pl/Sql PDK. They are listed here:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/sdk23vws.htm
The views work by using information from the session context (see the wwctx_api package). Typically the session context will be set automatically by the portal framework if the request comes to the Portal Database via mod_plsql or the PPE.
To find the content areas in which the user has access to folders, you'll need to join the WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS view with the WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS using the ID and CAID columns, respectively.
Content Areas don't have descriptions so a presume you meant the display name rather than the unique name. The display name can be found from the WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS view be joining WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS to WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS again but choosing the root folder (select id, caid, language, display_name from WWSBR_USER_FOLDERS.ID = 1). You'll also need to restrict by language.
Please write again if you need more info.

How to display search results in content area

Hi
How can I display search results in the content area as seen in sdn.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/frameset.htm you find the relevant guidelines.
You can filter the PCD object setting the Search Layout Set of your Searc Iview.
In System Admin > System Configuration > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set and duplicate the "SearchResultLayoutSet" layout set.
Then you have to duplicate its Collection Renderer "StandardSearchResultRenderer".
In its property "Resource Types to be Filtered" set as value "-http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/iview".
Then assign the new Collection Renderer to the new Layout Set and that's it!
Now if yuor Search Iview uses this new Layout Set, when you search a PCD object the iviews will not be shown!
(or)
In the entry "Predefined Properties" of the search options set, you will need to enter "resourcetype(value=http://sap.com/xmlns/pcd/app/page/default)" if you want the search to be limited to resources defined as pages. Leave out /default if you dont want the end user to be able to change the filter.
If you want the parameter reflected in the URL, you can find information about how to do it here: /message/280371#280371 [original link is broken]
Check and try either ways.

Ponneswari A.

Searching page content as well as content area content

We wanted to be able to search the text in HTML portlets on
pages to locate the page. The search mechanism seems only to
search the content in content areas. Is there anyway to do this?
Is Oracle Ultra-search any solution?

You can try using Ultrasearch or another crawler to crawl your
site to index your page content.
Searching across pages using the built-in Portal search (as well
as Ultrasearch) will be supported in the next release of Portal.

Jerry

Searching multiple PDFs content

Hello,
quick rundown on the project;
One interactive PDF that references MANY other PDFs (self contained on a DVD). My boss now wants there to be a search function that allows the user to get from the top main PDF to the deepest level and be able to search THAT content fromt he main.
Example;
Adobe puts out a DVD with a 'main-rundown' 5-page PDF that talks about all new CS6 features... in that PDF there links to 'help guides' for each software. So on the disc there are a dozen or so PDFs. From the 'main-rundown' PDF how would you search for a phrase that is in one of the photoshop help files like "creating a mask"
Thanks for any help!

I would use the Catalog feature and build a full-text index to do this. Here is a link to a tutorial that explains how to do this.

Content Area Search Engine

I need to create a search engine portlet for my content areas , in fact I found two portlets in the portal portlet provider, I would like to know where could I find this portlets' source code in order to modify them and create my own portlet, or is there another way to create the search engine?
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in Advance
Gustavo Ramos

Maybe you should have a look at CardLayout instead of doing a c.remove() / c.add() every time the user switches.

Content Ares & External Search

I was wondering if it is possible to link an external search engine to the content area. I would like to use the external search engine to search the documents in the content area.
Thank you,
