Portal Top Level Navigation

Hi,
How can i remove the display bar on Top Level Navigation(Left side).
Thanks.

Hi Shah,
Please follow the procedure:
To Configure Top-Level Navigation
1. In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Users -> Standard Portal Users. This folder contains the Default Framework Page.
2. Right-click Default Framework Page and choose Open -> Object.
3. From the Page Content List select the Top-Level Navigation iView and click Properties.
4. Scroll to the Number of Display Levels property and enter the value 0, 1, or 2, depending on how many navigation levels, if any, you want for top-level navigation.
 Choosing 0 removes your top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView. 
5.Click Save.
For more information see SAP Note 687485.
I hope this solves your problem.
Regards
Pravesh

Top-Level Navigation Tab Image

In the top-level navigation it allows you to assign background colors for the tab colors when selected or not selected. However, you can reference an image with a unique path in this field. So when the top-level navigation renders it displays an image, gradient for example instead of a background color. I did this a while back but cannot locate this information. If someone has done this before and can provide this information that would be great.

I just tested it, and did not manage to make it work.
I am in the Portal Outer Frame > Top-Level Navigation > Unselected Tabs of First Level > Background Color of Unselected Tabs
and this is the value I use :
background:url(http://<host>:port/irj/go/km/docs/documents/SDN/my_image.png)
Am I missing something ? Do I have to create a par file for this ?

Problem with switching tabs in top level navigation for Roles

Hi,
I've created two tabs (based on two roles) in the portal top level navigation menu. When clicking the first one it opens as it should. Then when clicking on the second tab it will not open, instead the first tab open up again, it sort of switches back automatically.These two roles are basically consists of worksets and iviews(accessing to r/3).
Does anyone have any expericene with this type of problem?

Hi George
On startup of the role an iview was called which opened a gif file stored in the KM. This iview wasn't added to any page so I basically did just that; added it to a page. Now the problem seems to have gone away!
Thanks!

Personalize Top Level Navigation.

Hi,
We are planning to implement some customization to portal Top Level Navigation.
In our system we are having around 20 roles, We need to display only five roles at a time in TLN TAB. Remaining will be accessible on clicking More Tab (After fifth role), which will display remaining roles in hover menu.
We acheived this part successfully.
The second part of the requirement is, user should able to personalize the order(sort priority) of his role. So that he can always display frequently using role first.
How we can develop this part.
Please feel free to write any thoughts on this.
Regards
Baby

Alex,
Thanks for the reply.
That's exactlly my requirement. I like to discuss more on this.
Can u explain me what do you mean by storing in database? I need more help on this part.
My inital thought was to create an application which will function in a simliar way of end user personalization of iviews and pages.
SInce all the sort informations are maintained at entry point (role) level, should i go at each role and maintain personalized information.
Is it practilcally feasible to create an application to manage all these personalizations.
Is there any other simiple solution to this.
Regards
Baby

Top level navigation moves upwards

Hi.
I have experienced a strange little thing and wanna know if any of you have experienced the same.
Clicking top level navigation the very first time after logging on to the portal it (tln) moves upwards 1 (one) pixel.
Strange but true. Is it a bug or is it just the way it works???
Looking forward hearing from you.

(looks like the top level navigation of the SDN)

Hello Norman,
Please read through these forum links which also deal with customization of Portal 'Top Level Navigation'.
Basically you need to download the required masthead.par and make the necessary changes as mentioned in the forum messages as belwo:

Show/Hide tabs in top level navigation of a role based on assigned services

Hi,
I have an interesting requirement. I have created an overview page in abap web dynpro which has links to various services.
Based on the r3 roles assigned to the user, we need to show/hide the services in the overview page and top level navigation.
I can show/hide the views in the overview page but the links on top level navigation are created in the portal frontend by creating worksets, iviews, etc.
Is there a way I can show or hide these worksets which are defined in the role on top level navigation?
In a nutshell, can i update the visible/invisible property of a java workset from a call in abap web dynpro?
Regards,
Sumeet

Please refer the framework page [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm]
What i meant was that you can do a custom TLN like this
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm]
Seems to me java/jsp is more appropriate than doing it via WDA.
ANother way that you might look into this is Application integrator which again java programming effort needed.

Can we control the top level navigation in portal from a java application

Hello,
I am having a scenario where User logged in to portal and assigned with 2 roles (HOME , ISA(Java application)). When user opened a form in ISA (Java application) and tried to enter the data in form and moved to another tab (e.g. HOME) in top level navigation.
When user come back to ISA (Java application) TAB , we show the page where he left earlier. I would like to know if user click any other TAB in top level navigation (Role assigned to him) while working on a page in ISA(Java application) is there any way we can catch that event before he leaves from ISA (Java application JSP page) to other TAB?
How can we control the top level navigation events in the portal from a java application .Since Top level navigation is seperate par file.
Thanks,
RN

Dear Rajesh,
Top Level and detailed navigation values comes with iteration in the respective par file.
Please check the par file and based on the value (i.e tab name) selected, you can write your code.

Top Level Navigation Manipulation in "Hosted Portal"

We are in a position where we have to begin hosting additional content in our portal from a portal that is being decommissioned.
The problem is we need to keep it seperate from the existing content from a user access point of view.
While users can have access to roles from the existing content and from the soon to be "hosted" content, they have not to be seen in the portal at the same time.
For example if the user accesses the portal with URL 1 they only see tabs in the top level navigation for the current content but if they access using URL 2 they only see tabs in the top level navigation for the "hosted" content.
I know we can control most of the issues such hosting raises using URL Aliases in our Desktop Rules to display different desktops, but wanted to know if anyone knows of a simple way that this can be enforced in the standard top level navigation iView via either configuration or simple code change to prevent us having to develop our own TLN to cope with this.
We are currently on EP7.0 SP13
Thanks (and of course points) for any help you can offer.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your suggestions.
We have managed to get halfway to our required solution with a very simple change to a copy of the standard top level navigation whereby we only process the PrintNavNodes method for iterations of the "initialNodes" which have the required node names - e.g.
private void PrintNavNodes(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
for(Iterator it = initialNodes.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
INavigationNode initialNode = (INavigationNode)it.next();
// Start of Change - Portal Share Project
String nodeName = initialNode.getName();
if ( nodeName.endsWith("ccmaint_user") || nodeName.endsWith("ccmaint_supervisor") ) {
// End of Change - Portal Share Project
firstContent = PrintNode(initialNode, request, response, 0);
try {
This effectively filters out the unwanted tabs in the desktop where this amended TLN is used.
This works fine where the tabs you want to see have sort priority putting them at the front of the list but leads to problems when used for the converse set of content as the desktop is still referring to the full "initialNodes" list and so while filtering at this level does render the TLN as required, it becomes unusable as the tab positions are still considered to be as they would be if you had not filtered any.
For example:
We have 5 tabs in total. For URL 1 we wish to show only tabs 1 & 2. For URL 2 we want tabs 3, 4 & 5.
Using this method for URL 1 we are fine as Tabs 1 & 2 are in the correct positions but for URL 2 when the tabs are rendered they appear in positions 1, 2 & 3 as required but act somewhat as though they are still in positions 3, 4 & 5 (e.g. Select the first tab and the 3rd is highlighted and a page error occurs - "'children' is null or not an object").
Not only this but the Inner Page still displays the content from the filtered tab 1 as opposed to tab 3.
Can anyone advise a way we can get round these issues?
Thanks
Ian.
P.S. Please excuse my naïvety in this area.

Show a menu of roles in the Top Level Navigation

Hello,
Imagine a scenario where a user has many roles assigned to him (say 40 roles). In that case the user will have 40 tabs in the first level of the top level navigation and by default a horizontal scroller appears on the right part of the screen clicking on which the roles will scroll horizontally. If the user has to go to the 40th role he has to click quite a lot.
Is it possible to have a menu option clciking on which we get the all the list of roles in the top level navigation in a vertical list and we can directly jump to any role clicking on the entry in the list ?
Something like what we get in a tab strip in Web Dynpro.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have menus as you wish .
Look at the following links
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85

You need to work on navigation tag libraries to extend number of levels .
The above inks helps you only for single level of navigation.

WPC on Portal 7.3: Area in top level navigation

Hi,
We are trying to set up a site using Web Page Composer on portal 7.3, but we are not able to display the area in the first level of the navigation.
Let's say we need following structure in the navigation:
Departments
-- HR
-- Trading & Supply
-- Finance
We want the content managers of our site to create extra departments without sending an area connection request to show the new department in the navigation.
Is it possible to create an Area Departments, link it to a role by creating a connection and use this connection as an entry point?
I've tried to edit the connection and mark "departments" as entry point, but it's not appearing in the top level navigation.
kr,
Joachim

Hi,
An area cannot be the first level of navigation. When you publish an area in WPC 2.0 it becomes a workset. Connecting the area to a role is similar to placing a workset under a role (the technicalities aren't the same, but that's the general idea).
Information regarding area connection can be found at:

Top level navigation problem anonymous portal

Hi everybody,
We have an anonymous portal with named anonymous users.
When you log on in the portal with a normal user, the top level navigation works fine and all the content is displayed.
When you log on in the portal with an anonymous user, all the content is displayed, the top level navigation works.
But when you press e.g.: the second tab in the top level navigation, you can see the right content, but the tab is not highlighted. In the normal portal the tab is highlighted. The auth scheme of my top level navigation iview is set to anonymous.
Did I forgot to set a standard sap iview to anonymous or something?
Kind regards,
David De Kerpel

Hi,
You have the following options to solve this problem as suggested by SAP:
1. Disable the short urls feature. Go to System Administration --> Navigation --> Short URLs, set the "Use short URLs" to false, save the configuration and restart the J2EE Engine.
2. Log in as a standard user (not anonymous) and navigate to all iViews/pages that will be viewed by anonymous. Navigating to an iView/page or a navigation node means that you can see a link to it in the TLN or DTN.
3. Deploy the PAR file attached in the SAP Note 913367, which fixes the problem.
