Tool Tip for Top Level Navigation - EP6SP2?

Hi,
Is it possible to provide tool tip for top level navigation.
We have only one level TLN and Detail Navigation. On mouse over of TLN objects is it possible to provide tool tip?
Thanks.

Hi Raja,
as Pankaj stated, the NavTagLib is the answer - but: it needs the LightFrameworkPage. And both together at the moment for example doesn't support Collaboration, means, if you click on some room, bang, error messages and nothing does work as expected.
If you don't need CollRooms, you might give it a try.
In addition, you can check out the "Hover effect", see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/a16a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm - it's probably not really what you want, I just want to point to that possibility (working within the standard framework page) for a complete overview.
The last possibility is to modify com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel; the TLN entries are rendered through toplevelnavigation.js, methods printLevel/printLevel1Table/printLevel2Table.
Hope it helps

Drop down menu for top level navigation

Dear All,
I recently had a quick peek at SAP's corporate Portal, which has a drop down menu in the top level navigation that dynamically changes the secondary level navigation based on the option selected.
We are currently running a standard portal (not an external facing lightweight framework portal), does anyone know how to achieve a similar result so that we can provide a drop-down menu to allow the user to dynamically change their role structure?
Many thanks
James

Hi James,
We have implemented such thing two years ago, also without EFP (with the light framework, it's easy). It took some days (more than 5) to change every JS, JSP etc which has to be touched for this. In the end, the first level of the navigation had been moved up into the dropdownbox, so that when changing the ddb, the two lines of the originabl TLN showed in fact the second and the third level (and the DTN starting with the fourth level).
It was really nice, but keep in mind that this means modifying the standard and maintaining this solution with new SPS coming up...
Hope it helps

HI Raja,
Check the Accessibility flag in the New User Registration form, if it is ON then it disables Hover feature for the portal.
Check the link esp the Header area part :

Top level navigation to be re organized to come in one page

Dear SDN,
I have one requirement. I want to change the Portal Theme in such a way that Top level navigation to be re organized to come in one page istead of scrolling left or right. Suppose the user having more than 20 roles then he shouldnt be scrolling more times to left or right for the roles, thats why we want that in one page.
Can anybody please help me to solve this. Is there any way where we can set all roles visible in one page??
Thanks & Regards,
Nikesh Shah.

I have given you the link above.
You should read it
There is a step wise procedure for how can you set Navigation Level to 0.
I. 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.      In the Navigation property category, 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 top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView.
       5.      Click Save.
II. Configure Detailed Navigation
       1.      From the Page Content List of the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
       2.      From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage select the Detailed Navigation iView and click Properties.
       3.      In the Navigation property category, scroll to the Start at Level property and assign a value that is one higherthan the value of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure l. Configure Top-Level Navigation. For example, if top-level navigation is configured for one level, the detailed navigation begins on the second level, that is with the value 2.
Detailed navigation is not automatically synchronized with top-level navigation; the values that you enter for top-level and detailed navigation must agree. For example, if you enter the value 1 for top-level navigation, while detailed navigation still has the value 3, one level is left out, creating a gap.
       4.      Click Save.
III. Configure the Content Area
       1.      From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Content Area iView and click Properties.
       2.      In the Navigation property category, scroll to the Number of Display Levels in TLN property and enter the same value as that of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure I. Configure Top-Level Navigation.
       3.      Click Save.
Thanks...

Can anyone help me out...
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can have more than two levels of navigation in TLN. But This is not possible without custom implementation.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5a/33befa45ca7f459b24d0c5d51d0749/frameset.htm
In I-4 says:
"In the Navigation property category, 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".
From the third level role, is displayed in the DLN.

Creating a dropdown for Roles in Top Level Navigation

Hi,
I am trying to customize the com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.par file.
Can anybody please help me to create a dropdown for various roles in the portal,if the user clicks on the first role in the Top Level Navigation ,he should see a dropdown list with worksets of the role.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks
Art Tech.

Hello Art Tech,
I hope I understand you right. You want to change the appearance of the custom built TLN according to the currently chosen portal theme, just like the standard TLN would change its appearance.
Well, if so, then there are two ways:
1) The HTML and styles/classes of your custom built TLN are still more or less the same as in the standard or you can at least reuse most of the standard HTML output/structure, then applying a new theme would also affect your custom TLN.
2) You have your own HTML output for the TLN, not relying on anything from the standard TLN, and you most probably work with a custom stylesheet file (e.g. "tln.css"). What you have to do then is to provide a set of TLN stylesheet files for each portal theme you want to support and include it accordingly by retrieving the current theme's name via the ILafService (Look & Feel Service). Or you rely on only one CSS file, then have as many "blocks" of styles (marked with a preceding class selector like in e.g. ".themeNameA ul li a " and ".themeNameB ul li a ") as you have themes, and put a bracket around the TLN-output with class="currentThemeName". For this last approach I give you the sample code (assuming you want to support the themes "SAP Standard", "SAP Tradeshow" and "SAP Chrome"):
The TLN code: tln.jsp
><%@ taglib uri="NavigationTagLibrary" prefix="nav" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.laf.*" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntime" %>
><%
>// include the TLN stylesheet
>response.include(componentRequest, componentRequest.getResource("css", "css/tln.css"));
>
>// retrieve the current theme's technical name
>ILAFService iLAFService = (ILAFService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(ILAFService.KEY);
>String currentTheme = iLAFService.getCurrentTheme(componentRequest).getThemeName();
>%>
>
><div class="<%=currentTheme%>">
> <ul>
> <nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
> <li><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
> 
> </li>
> </nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
> </ul>
></div>
The stylesheet: tln.css
>.sap_standard ul li {background-color:#FFCCCC}
>.sap_standard ul li a
>
>.sap_tradeshow ul li {background-color:#CCCCFF}
>.sap_tradeshow ul li a
>
>.sap_chrome ul li {background-color:#CCCCCC}
>.sap_chrome ul li a
I hope this solves your problems.

How to remove the worksets from the Top level navigation for the ESS role.

Top Level Navigation Invisible for Administrator in EP6.0

I have installed SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP16, EP6.0 and Developer Studio 2.0.16. But When I log on to portal using Administrator user id, I am not getting Top Level Navigation. I also tried other user id's. Please provide me solution. Thanks in advance.

I suggest you login to Visual Administrator and check if Administrator is part of Administrators Group. You can find this by going into Services > Security Provider > User Management. Search for Administrator and check if he is part of Administrators group.
If not add it, by default Super Admin Role is assigned to Administrators group. Once you get this role you should see all the navigational Tabs.
Hope this helps.

Missing Top Level Navigation par

Hi All,
I have mistakenly cleaned SAP standard Top Level Navigation par from my portal server using Administrator Console tool.
I am currently working on SAP EP 7.0 SP18 and I need to get the par file back along with the particular Top Level Navigation iview if possible.
Currently am managing using Light top level navigation iview.
Please let me know if there is any way to get this par file (com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel) redeployed on the server
Thanks,
Sanjo

Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I tried downloading the par from other server & uploaded the same in my portal server, but I couldnt create an iview for the par as it was not getting listed in the iview creation wizard at all.
The problem could be that when I tried uploading the par, it got uploaded successfully but had repository or local versionas "undefined" and that could be the reason that it doesnt appear in the wizard of creating iview from a par.
Thanks
Sanjo

The top level navigation is always displayed as TAB. Is there any way that we can change this to appear as tree level navigation.
If yes what are the steps required >?

Hi,
Thanks for the time being mah colleage got a solution. Created 2 dummy roles test1, test 2 . Assigned Test1 to Test2, and assigned other roles to those Test2.
Went to default frame work set Tool Area, Top-Level Navigation invisible.
Now the other roles that have been assigned to test role 2 appear on detail navigation as a tree.
Not recommended but works ;).

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.

Top Level Navigation - Design bar borders

SAP EP 6.0 SP9 on NW04
We're using the top level navigation iview (TLN) out-of-the box and have configured the look and feel of TLN using the Theme Editor so that it follows the customer's corporate identity.
However, we cannot remove the two white vertical borders around the design bar in top level navigation or change the color to the same color as the top level navigation. It is only possible for us to change the background color of the design bar but not the color of the design bar border. The marketing department thinks this is a huge issue, which must be fixed.
We're almost certain that the problem cannot be solved by configuring the Theme Editor.
Does anybody know whether it is easy to modify the code or css files to change the white borders of the design bar? Any idea of what is the best approach?
Best regards
Peter
Can

Hi,
I have similar problem but there is no "Display of Design Bar Container" option in the Top Level Navigation section of the Theme editor.
Thanks,
MM
