Time-based publishing in Web Page Composer

Hi,
I'm evaluating Web Page Composer (WPC) for a customer and one of the requirements is time-based publishing for web pages and navigation, but I can’t find any information on that subject.
Do you know if it’s possible to set up time-based publishing for WPC pages?
Thanks
Martin

FYI.
I contacted SAP about time-based publishing for WPC pages and unfortunately this feature is not implemented in current versions of WPC. My request has been added to the feature request list for future versions.
Regards
Martin

  • FPN (Federated Portal) and WPC (Web Page Composer)

    Hi all,
    We implemented various web sites based on WPC (Web Page Composer) and now we need to federate this instance with other consumer nodes.
    I read on SAP 880842 note that it's not possible to federate WPC.
    Is there any options to federate sites developed in WPC?
    What can I do in this scenario?
    Thanks!

    Thanks again Marcus.
    But we can't use this option because we'll loose the WPC structure... It will need to be rebuild all site navigations...
    We are working now with WPC content mirror (copying content from one server to another).
    But we still need some help. We need to automatic copy KM content. Can you help us in this case too?

    If you export the project as exp file and open it with a zip file reader, you can find your forms under forms/ui/.
    I personnaly could always see them whatever the tool (jdev or composer) and the way (file or MDS) i used.

  • Page Personalize in Web Page Composer

    Hi All,
       In the Portal, when we goto Page personalize on a particular page, the end user can the able to arrange the iViews based on his interest. So it won't affect anyone in Portal.  Will it be possible in Web Page Composer?  or Is there any option to enable that for the particular web page in WPC?
    Regards,
    Venkatesh. K

    Hi Venkatesh,
    your requested scenario is not possible in the web page composer context. Once you publish a page, an output.xml file per page is generated that is rendered as HTML. It is not rendered as portal page where you can do some kind of personalization.
    kind regards,

  • Migration of an existing web site to Web Page Composer

    Hello,
    I am investigating the options and the feasibility of the migration of an existing web site to a Web Page Composer (WPC) site. The web resources of the site can easily be copied to KM and used afterwards in WPC containers. However, they can neither be integrated to the WPC site navigation nor edited through the WPC UI. For example, only WPC Web Page or Web Sites can be WPC navigation nodes.
    Has anyone ever done or tried such a migration? Do you know where I could find a description (or the javadocs) of the WPC API? Any suggestions or hints will be much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Youlian Dimitrov

    Hi Youlian.
    If I understand correctly you have rebuilt only a few hundreds of the old pages using WPC forms. Did you do this manually or you have found a way of migrating them programmatically?
    Yes, we did it manually for a two reasons:
    1. short timetable;
    2. 20 intranet sites with variety of used technologies and tools, styles, navigation structures.
    Did you leave the rest of the pages as HTML (non-WPC) files?
    Yes. But we imported them into KM.
    Does it mean that you have implemented only part of the navigation structure through the WPC/portal navigation?
    Yes and no.
    Firstly, in our case it would be a bad idea to bring all legacy, sometimes cluttered, navigation structure to a new platform as is.
    Secondly, keeping in mind that in a common scenario portal already has own top level navigation you should carefully decide how deep is your site navigation structure will be.
    Finally, migration it is a good time for information architecture redesign based on standards and guidelines.  
    Assuming that you have adjusted properly the links to all resources, have you encountered any particular navigation or display issues following this approach?
    I could remember two limitations concerning a navigation:
    1. you should avoiding links to navigation nodes inside non-wpc html files, because in this case a target page opens without DLN;
    2. first linked non-wpc html page, which placed outside wpc container, should be opened in new window.
    As for design, all our display issues caused by inline styles within source html files.
    Did you notice any noticeable performance degradation after the migration?
    We didn't have any degradation of performance. However, it is highly individual and depends on your portal infrastructure.

  • Approval in Web Page Composer

    hi Gurus,
    We are trying to use Web Page Composer and created some web pages, now we have enabled the approval process.
    Once we submit for appoval, the approver does not get any notification/mail rergarding the approval.
    How do we enable the notification/mail triggering part to the person who has to approve it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kris

    Hi Paul,
    I am following the same document to implement the approval process for web page composer. When submit the wpc page for approval, its not going to the approers' UWL instead its getting published. End users are seeing the modifications on the wpc page.
    Am I missing any settings on the system to enable for workflow on the wpc page?
    P.S: I enabled approval process on the wpc page (settings->Approval->Enable Approval Process). After enabling the approval process, I see a button (Approval) coming up on the wpc page properties beside the "Publish" button in the design time. When I use this button to submit the wpc page for approval, the wpc page is not staged for approval.
    We are on EP7.0 EhP1 SP4.
    Please advice.

  • Portal themes and Web page composer

    Hi,
    I am wondering how applying portal themes would impact the views in Web Page composer based / created sites?
    We are trying to create new sites using web page composer tool but was wondering if simply applying portal themes solves our problems of display (colors etc).  I know that portal themes would not cover the layout of the pages but atleast we only have one other thing to solve.
    By the way was also wondering if I got the concept correctly. When an admin person applies a portal theme, the specific team he or she assignes to the users will be permanent for all the users under a role or group right?
    thanks in advance

    Well Alvin, logically the theme applied to portal should take over any content published using WPC. I remember during our implementation, we did not have to had any extra efforts for creating themes for WPC sites :-)...Also for your other question, as per the display rule applied, the theme will be applied to all the users under a group.
    ~Cheers,
    Vivek

  • Time Based Publishing not supported in WPC

    Hi all,
    I want to implement Time Based Publishing for some WPC resources (for example: web articles or paragraphs, ie: not for pages, but resources).
    Sadly, it seems that is not allowed. There is the following note: 1310768 - Time Based Publishing not supported in WPC.
    Does anyone know an alternative way to achieve this TBP behavior? I thought developing some task scheduler service, or perhaps a namespace filter.... , some help will be thanked!
    Question aside: I don't understand why standard TBP is not supported, being a WPC's web article a standard KM resource. Don't you find strange?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Marcelo

    In case anyone is interested, I asked SAP about it.
    They said that TBP for WPC is only available to pages, and since 7.3 is the only time based publishing feature available for WPC. Beside that, they made clear the difference betweeen WPC and KMC... I supposed (wrong) that WPC was relied on KMC,
    So.. I'm really stuck on this.
    I'll keep this question opened in case anyone could help or maybe share an idea,
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards,
    Marcelo

    now we have the tinyMCE editor, where you can insert and edit html-code. It works fine now for the layout,
    but there are still a few problems with the links..

  • Web Page Composer (WPC) – Web page - Approval process

    We have requirement with our web publishing environment where we want to stage the web pages for review before they are published for public. Currently, if you develop a web page in Web Page Composer ( WPC ) and click publish to review the content/layout. The page is published for public and included in TRex and can be searchable.
    We thought KM Approval process will help resolve this issue. The approval process work very well with the u2018Site Contentu2019 where once author develop the content (article, paragraph etc.) and submit for approval in this case Editor (role). The content under site content folder is not published (not available for public) until approved by Editor.
    This same approval process does not work on the Web Page folder. We have exactly same permission/ Service permission setup on the Web Page folder. Even though the u2018Approvalu2019 is turned on the Web Page folder it does not inherit the same to new web pages created or existing web pages in that folder. If we go and turn on the u2018Approvalu2019 on a page then we see a u2018Approvalu2019 button in WPC but when you submit the page for approval it pops up another screen with below message.
    Confirm that you want to publish the page. A new version of the homepage will be created and, if appropriate, submitted for approval. Changes to pages not subject to approval are active immediately.
    When you confirm this message nothing happens (no workflow kicks off).
    I would like to hear if any one has tried the approval process on WPC web pages. If you are not using this process how you are staging the web page for review before publishing to public.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bertina,
    We encountered the same problem couple days back in our environment. There is a SAP note (# 1294833) which details the issue but affected version indicated in this note is different then what we are on so we decided to create a note for SAP.
    Below is SAP response for this issues
    13.09.2010 - 08:52:12 CET - Reply by SAP     
    Dear customer,
    I can confirm that the issue described in SAP Note 1294833 is indeed
    present in EP 7.01 SP4 and is the reason you are currently experiencing
    this problem.
    Unfortunately, as outlined in the note, there is no workaround
    available but our developers have advised me that the fix will be
    included in the next patch for KMC WEB PAGE COMPOSER 7.01 SP04.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,
    i found the solution:
    the solution is to modify the permission on security zone in this way:
    go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and open the permissions of this object to add Authenticated Users gruop with this option:

  • Web Page Composer - Ordering Automatic lists in Alphabetical order

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place (newbie here)
    I'm trying to order an 'Automatic list' in Alphabetical order - based on page name/title
    So within WPC I have a folder with 10 or so web pages in them. and the next level up I have a page with the 'Dynamic Content' element.
    Within the 'Additional' field of the 'Dynamic Content' element I am able to 'orderBy=modified' or 'orderBy=created' but cannot seem to do what I would think is straightforward and order alphabetically by either name or title.
    Am I missing something simple and obvious?
    Or should I actually be trying to do this by modifying the XSL Template that controls the presentation?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Alessio,
    have a look at at this thread:
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=599765">Link for your error message</a>
    Or maybe it is because your WPC isn't fully configured for anonymous access.
    To configure it for anonymous access, try this:
    1. Configuration in PCD - go to Content Administration -> Portal Content-> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Container iViews -> WPC
    Default Containers. All of the iViews in this location should have the
    "anonymous" authentication scheme. The next location which should be
    checked is Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Portal Content ->Web Page Composer -> iView Templates. Again all of the iViews should
    have the "anonymous" authentication scheme. The same applies to all the
    templates which reside in Content Administration -> Portal Content ->
    Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layout Templates. Finally
    check if all the pages which reside in Content Administration -> Portal
    Content -> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layouts have the
    "anonymous" authentication scheme.
    2. Configuration in KM - make sure that all the pages, which should be
    displayed to an anonymous user have in their permissions the Anonymous
    Users Group.
    3. Security zones - if you go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and you open the
    permissions of this object, the Anonymous Users group must be added in
    the list.
    If all mentioned objects have their setting as described and you still
    experience problems (e.g. you see a browser dialog window for
    authentication), the reason most probably is, that the KM is not
    configured for anonymous access. A full description of the needed steps
    is provided with note 837898.
    I think the your error message could be solved with the first link.
    But afterwards you need to perform the steps mentioned above.
    Regards,
    Marcus

    Vishal -
    First... we are all new to WPC!
    Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container.  I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
    So...
    Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
    Navigate to:
    Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
    Edit the container you want to use.
    There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
    In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
    At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
    I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name.  From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default".  So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
    After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
    Is this clearer?  I wish I could attach a screenshot.

  • I have the 60 day trial of .mac can I publish a web page, nothing is happen

    I thought I could try the .mac account free for 60 days and get to publish my web page, it gives the directions but says I have nothing in my pictures. I do, and I've tried adding more but nothing is working. I think maybe I just can't do it unless I pay. Any ideas??

    Someone told me :"iWeb, if you have it on your computer, is another way of easily making web pages, though it has its limitations.
    You can do all this with the trial of iDisk, and then move to a subscription if you want to, or let it lapse"
    So that's why I said iDisk, apparently that is included in my .mac...( sorry I'm so slow, but this is still all just words to me at this point. )
    Well, iDisk is not iWeb and will probably not get my web page created...right? And, I can't even get into iDisk because it keeps saying I have the wrong username and/or passcode and "that it will be sent in the clear" whatever that means. (Yikes for this much time lost it would be cheaper to pay someone. ) Anyhow, was that incorrect info??? and why can't I open my iDisk....and thirdly, any way to get a free trial of iWeb? since their is no way to create a site without it.

Maybe you are looking for
