Sort by "create date" in regular items within Content Area

Is this possible? I only see three option to sort by (default,
title and size. I need to sort by create date.
Is it possible?

You can also try grouping by Create Date, and turning off the
Group By banner in the style.

Error Creating File Items in Content Area

Received the following error message when trying to create an item in a content area:
An unhandled exception has occurred, ORA-01403: no data found.
I checked in the Apache error_log file and the only messages I see relate to portal30.wwv_add_wizard.edititem and portal30.wwv_additem.additem (had to be described for execution).
Any suggestions? Thanks

This is an unusual problem. Please work with Oracle Support to resolve it.

Internal File Names within Content Areas

I have a problem where I have loaded up a series of inter-linked HTML files created in an HTML editor (e.g. Dreamweaver). They all exist within a folder and all the links work. As soon as I amend a file and reload it, it gets a new name on the database (for example index_0.htm and then index_1.htm). Therefore because the name has changed the links no longer work. I have item versioning switched off in the content area and the folders where the items reside.
Is there any way around this problem?
null

This behavior has been fixed for Portal 3.0.8, which is going to be part of 9iAS release 1.0.2.1, due out later this month.
In the meantime, perhaps you could have dreamweaver update the links for your files as part of a dreamweaver "site" definition. If you update the name for one file say from ("myfile" to "myfile_1", all the other links would then be automatically updated by dreamweaver to reflect that). What version of Portal are you currently using? 3.0.6 or 3.0.7?

Problem with Checking In/Out Items in Content Area

I've been reading the Portal On-Line help pages in regards to
checking in/out items. The help states that when an item is
checked out, the item is locked and a message "Checked out by:
UserName" is displayed next to the item. When I check out an
item, I do not see this "Checked out by" message. However, I do
see the checkout icon. Note - I am doing this through the
Content Area Navigation page. Is there something that I am
missing? (I have seen other threads in regards to the
checkin/checkout icons not displaying when the Content Area is
published as a portlet. We are having this problem as well.)
However, the lack of the "checked out" message happens in both
the Content Area Navigator and the published portlet.
Also, is there a way to get Portal to automatically generate
version numbers when a new version of an item is created. I see
that you can create a unique name or description .... but I'd
like to have Portal generate the version number for me. This is
done in the Application component section when you build forms,
menus, or reports.
Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

The "checked out by" message only appears to other users - you
won't see it if you are the user who checked out the item.
The version number is planned for a future release.
Regards,
Jerry

Public user sees old content of items in content area/portlets

I have items in my Content Area, as pl/sql folders, text and pl/sql items. These are all published as portlets. Access is set to public. The content of these items have been altered a couple of times during development, and they work as they should when I4m logged in as a user.
However, when I access these items (both directly by an url to the content area and by an url to the page containing the portlets) as the public user (not logged in), the content of these items is old. The content could be several weeks old, actually it is possible that the displayed content is the original content of the specific item (as it was when I first created the items).
To me, it sounds like a cache issue, and I tried to set "Enable plsql caching" to "no", with no improvement.
What can I do to solve this?
/Sara

You could try flushing the cache content by navigating to
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cache
..and deleting the directories and all content beneath them.
This is guaranteed to cause a cache rewrite.
You should also set your page cache settings to 'Dont Cache' which will guarantee that the cache is not being used.
You can check the caching status of a portlet on a page by adding _debug=1 to the URL you are viewing.
You can read more about it here..

Copy within content area

I am trying to copy a folder which contains sub-folders and files to the root level of a content area. I am doing so from within the navagator. I navigate to the folder I want to copy and click its copy link. I select the root level of the content area as the copy destination. I am then taken to a screen that has copy options. Since I am trying to move the entire folder and all of it's content, I select Copy Subfolders and Items and I kept the Folder and Item Access Privileges checked. After clicking ok, it churns for a few seconds as though everything is getting copied and then displays the following error:
An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100)
An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100)
An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100)
An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100)
ORA-1422: ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows (WWC-36000)
Unexpected error encountered in wwsec_api.copy_privileges (ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows) (WWC-41417)
has anyone seen anything like this?

Jeff,
Can you tell me more about your set up? How many subfolders? how many items? Are you able to reproduce the problem in another content area?

Accessing Items across content Areas

We have two content Areas ( CA1 , CA2)and a folder(CA1-F1,CA2-F1) in each, which are published as Portlets.
Different people create Items in ContentArea A(CA1-F1 FOLDER).
I want to display some(by Creator) of the items from CA1-F1 FOLDER to CA2-F1 FOLDER automatically.
'casue, we don't want to create the same item in two content areas.
Is there anyway of achiveing this........?
Please reply!!!!!!

G'day,
An option here is to use 'share objects' perspectives and/or categories.

Unable to click on iView link from within content area

Hi,
I have a peculiar problem where I am unable to click on/open up iViews from within the content area in one particular folder of a role. If I expand the tray and click on an iView link, it opens up the said iView. I am able to click on/open up iViews from the content area in other folders in the role.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue? If yes, any pointers to resolve this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Tahzeeb

Hi Tahzeeb,
Are you facing this problem only for a particular folder of a iview or else for the whole??
If yes, just check the below points
1. Make sure that you have the correct roles to read Portal content.
2. Check whether have you made any permission access for the folder you are trying to access.
3. Try to create a new folder and assign the same iview and check it up once.
Let us konw further, if you still face any problems.

Error when editing items in content area!

Hi,
I get an error: HTTP 404 - File not found, everytime I want to edit an item in the content area, after another try it works and does the changes.
I'd like to know if this is a know bug? what's happening?
This is bad to portal performance, the publishers and developers are backing out, due to this prob.
Also I'm getting timeouts all the time.
Any help?
Carolina.

Hi,
This has been mentioned on a thread on 'General' about getting 404 errors and timeouts. I am having exactly the same problem.
I re-installed our Server from Scratch with Windows 2000 and Portal version 3.0.9.8.0 so I would have a totally clean install, but I still get the same problems.
Someone mentioned that turning Intermedia (Oracle Text) searching on causes the problems. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Any word on this from Oracle?

Count item in content area

Is it possible to count all the items (document, URL, zip file, etc) of a Content area? Is there any standard statistic or tool to do this?
thanks!
paolo

hi paolo,
one way is using the content management view wwsbr_all_items.

How to create a default Style for several Content Areas

Hello,
I have not been able to figure out how to create default styles/nav bars/etc... that can be used between SEVERAL Content Areas, and/or for any new Content Area. It seems to me that what is created in one Content Area, is not available for use in any other Content Area.
Being that I'd like to keep the Administrative overhead as low as possible, I wonder if anyone has and/or knows how to create a default style, etc.. and use it with each Content Area across an Enterprise site???
Many thanks for any information you may have!!

Kahli,
check out the Shared Objects node in the Content Area navigator.
Good luck, Tony

Portlet as item in content area folder?

I was wondering if anyone has thought of adding a new item type of type portlet to the folder container?
Is is possible now or coming down the road?
My problem is that I have 260 portlets that the user needs to navigate through in an artificial hierarchy of sorts. Tabs appear to work, but they are ugly when I do lots of nesting.
Any ideas?

The folder portlet offers only a subset of edit actions. We did
this to conserve space. This will be changed in the next
release of Portal, planned for December.

Scalability of custom items in content areas

Hi,
I like the idea of the flexibility of custom items, and functionally they fit closely to a requirement I'm working on, i.e. a mixture of structured and unstructured data that is very likely to change over time and requires structured access control. I've developed a prototype and it all looks good so far.
However, I am wondering whether use of custom items is going to hit the performance of my Portal. Just to give you some idea of the numbers I'm talking about - I'll have about 20 custom items defined, probably with no more than 10000 examples of each custom item. I know it's very much small fry in database terms, but since this is metadata, I'm a little bit concerned about the affect of storing that amount of data across the Portal meta schema. My concern is that I haven't actually put any data into the custom items yet, but I've noticed that querying some of the WWSBR_ views is somewhat slow, especially when you try to join the views. What I'm hoping to avoid is exponential degradation of performance as the amount of data in stored in custom items increases. Also, I'm hoping that the custom item data is stored in separate tables from the ones Portal uses for it's own items attributes (e.g. created_date, description, search text, etc). I don't want to kill our Portal which is already being used for other things!
I'd be interested to know :
1) If anyone has developed a solution with more than, say, 5000 items stored in custom items, and how if at all performance was affected
and
2) If anyone has any other feedback on the architectural sense of what I'm proposing.
Thanks,
Mark

Got the same problem - but I don't want public to see the CUSTOMIZE link at all.

I saved as template , and created one editable region in the content area

I have four pages from the template; the index, services, products and services. Now if i want to create a sidebar for the services page only. How do I do that without the template updating to all the pages. I just need the service page with the sidebar.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Create a #Sidebar style in your external CSS and a place for it in your main Template.dwt.
On child pages where you don't want the #Sidebar to appear, embed a page specific CSS rule like this:
<style type="text/css">
/**PAGE SPECIFIC STYLES GO HERE**/
#sidebar {display:none}
</style>
