Tab ordering in Top Level Navigation

Hi guys,
I am working with EP 6.0, currently I have 4 roles:
Role 1, it has 4 tabs: a,b,c,d
Role 2, it has 1 tab: e,
Role 3, it has 1 tab: f,
Role 4, it has 1 tab: g.
(These tabs are on 1st level TLN)
When i add the 4 roles to 1 user, i logged in,  the tabs order is not "abcdefg", but "abcdegf",
Any one knows how to control the ordering?
thanks a lot.

Hello
Ordering of Roles/worksets/iViews/Pages can be managed  through the Property "Sort Priority".
Sort Priority ranging from 1 to 10 of the PCD objects has been used for the purpose of administrative task. So use between 10.X to 100
take all your Roles and pages. in the same level.
Assign the sort priority manually.
The item with the lowest value appears to the far left or the top, respectively, and the others follow in the order of their priorities.
make sure that you are assigning the sort priority in the same level.

  • Top-level navigation tabs shape

    Hi,
    I need to have rounded tabs in th top level navigation, can anyone tell me if there is a easy way to do this??
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Marysol,
    Did you find the documentation? Do you have additional questions on the navigation tag library?
    Also, when you first looked for the documentation, what was the problem that caused you not to find it? How would it be better to organize the documentation?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tab in Top Level Navigation is not highlighted when clicked on

    Hi guys,
    We have 1 problem in EP 6.0:
    I create 1 iview(testiview), and attached to the role(testrole), assigned to 1 user, then login with that user. In top level navigation, i am able to see the role(testrole) in top level navigation, but after i clicked, the tab for this role is not highlighted, but the content of iview is displayed,
    Any one knows what happened?
    Thanks!
    Guo Feng

    Hi Guo
    You have created one role and added one iView under it.
    now can u tell which one you made as entry point.
    if Role is the entry point are you getting the iView link in the DTN ?
    If you made iView as entry point and then you r getting the content in content area and the iView link in the top.
    i think the second one happens...
    Check the role and iView properties .
    Make the Role as entry point..
    Cheers

  • 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.
    --KAL

    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 ?

  • How to change the order of the top level navigation?

    hello,
    i don't find where i can change the order of the top level navigation.
    help would be great because there is no documentation for this issue.
    greets daniel

    If you want to define the sequence of the entry points for display in the portal, you can prioritize the entry points. You define priorities for the entry points by assigning a cetain value to each of the entry points in  the SORT PRIORITY. You may only define values greater than 0 for the priorities  and lower than 100 (default value is 100.0). The smaller the value of the entry point, the further left it moves on the navigation bar. The entry points without a priority appear in any order.
    Hope that helps,
    Frank

    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!

  • 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?
