Top Level Navigation and Web Page Composer

Dear all,
I've a Site on Web Page Composer, and on this I've many Web Pages, so I've generated a Site Navigation. The Site Navigation generate a Top Level Navigation entry (Portal Role with External Connector), in this case all pages are displayed on a single menu entry. I would like to separate the pages on some Top Level Navigation Entries, what is the recommended way to do it? Create the pages on separated Sites and generate Site Navigation for each on?
To clarify I would like a menu structure like this:
Info (Top Level)
Page1
Page2
Page5
Customers (Top Level)
Page 3
Page 4
Page 6
Employees (Top Level)
Page 7
Page 8
And just an one site with all pages on Web Page Composer.
Best regards

Hi,
every Site Navigation creates only 1 navigation file that you can integrate into the users navigation.
In your case:
Role (PCD)
Folder -> Info
Folder -> Customers
Folder -> Employees
Create for every folder (that are entry points) in the role a web site in WPC.
Ex:
Web Site: Info
Web Pages:
Page1
Page2
Page5
Create a site navigation and add the site navigation to your folder Info.

How make the Top-level Navigation and Content Area in one page as a whole?

I want to make the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area in the one page as a whole displayed in user interface.In the default framework,the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area were contained in 2 pages, So the vertical scroll bar could only control the Content Area. I want to control the full page with one vertical bar like the page of "www.sdn.sap.com" Web.

Hi Jianguo,
One advantage of the external facing portal solution (SP14) is that the framework page is displayed in a single frame. Perhaps this could be of use to you.
Hope this helps.

Nested site navigation using Web Page Composer (WPC)

Is it possible to nest navigation nodes using Web Page Composer?
I have created a WPC site and added pages, but I am required to create a node with sub-pages (similar to adding a folder to a workset) for a site.
Has anyone done this or know how to easily do this? I do not want to maintain a separate WPC site (and corresponding workset folder) for each navigation node/group in the structure hierarchy.
This is an example of what we are trying to accomplish in our navigation structure using a single WPC site:
* Page 1
* Page 2
+ Group 1
    * Page 3
    * Page 4
+ Group 2
    * Page 5
    * Page 6
* Page 7
Thanks in advance...

Hi Angie,

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

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...

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

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

How to make top level navigation not refresh

Hello Guys,
I have a question concerning on my External Facing Portal, my boss wants that when I click on a tab or a link in the Top Level Navigation , to load the content in the Content Area without refreshing the whole page, What I want is that when I click on a tab or link of the Top Level Navigation , the Top Level Navigation and the MasterHead not to refresh and that the content be loaded and refreshed only in the Content Area. The only way I know to do this is by making a frameset of my page and to make the masterhead and toplevel navigation a frame and the detalied navigation a frame and the content area a frame, and in the links to put the target property to the name of the content area frame, but I don't know if this is possible to do in the portal, I see that all is embedded and I don't know how to make a frameset like this in the portal.
Any highlights to solve this will sure be appreciated.
Thanks
Rewarding points will be given.

Hi,
When you are implementing External Facing Portal, i think you have used Light Framework Page. In Light Framework Page, only one Framework has been used, so when you click on the top level navigation, the whole page will get refresh, so there is no otherway as of my knowledge. If you use standard framework page in portal, it is possible to do (i.e. the content area only get refresh) and the concept of your External Facing Portal is eliminated here.

Top-level navigation in masthead

During test with our development portal, the top-level navigation has been moved to where the navigation-panel is (left side).
I was present when we did this, and i believe that it was just a parameter that was changed. But i cannot remember it, and i have spent about 4 hours searching for it.
Hope someone can help me

You have to write your own Top Level Navigation iVIew.
You can do this by using Navigation Tag Libraries.

I think what you want is this: Tag Libraries: Creating a Hover Menu in SAP NetWeaver Portal
Its sounds like your case.
These things may have a learning curve involved which may seem confusing. But they are not.

Worksets to be displayed in Top Level Navigation

Hi,
I have created a role and assigned 5 worksets to the role...and assigned the role to user...i wanted the worksets to be displayed in Top Level Navigation and not the role ....can i do it....
Rgds,
P.Navakanth

Hi Navakanth,
1) Double click on the role and open -> Go to Property Category -> Navigation -> Select Entry Point = No
2) Double click on each workset and open -> Go to Property Category -> Navigation -> Select Entry Point = Yes. In addition to this, if you want a particular sequence of worksets (tabs), then set the sort priority. Lower the sort priority, the first it comes in sequence.
Hope that helps.

Top leven navigation and Tool area dissapear after upgrading SP19

Hi all,
we have upgraded the J2EE engine and the EP to the SP19 and when we enter the Portal, the top level navigation and tool area have dissapear.
It could be some parameter wrong or an error during the upgrading?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rahul,
See SAP Note: 1002832. These are the details:
Reason and Prerequisites:
The problem is caused by a program error.
This note applies to NW04S SP8 - SP10 and NW04 SP16 - SP19.
Solution:
The problem is fixed with NW04S SP11 and NW04 SP20.
The reason for the problem are missing ACLs that are normally created automatically when roles are imported.
In order to resolve this problem please do the following steps;
1 - Logon to the Portal with user having "super admin" rights.
2 - Replace in URL the "/irj/portal" part with the following /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.admin.acleditor.listPermissions.
This starts a component that lists all permissions in the PCD. It might take some time until it is finished.
3 - Please scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. If there is a botton "fix inner acl", click the button. The missing permissions for the roles will be created. If there is no such button, the permissions are OK. The reason for the symptom is something else then.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Pooja.

SAP Web Page Composer: Detailed Navigation is not getting built

Hello!
I am new at this forum. At first I´d like to say hello to everybody! :]
Our issue concerns the following:
We started to work mit the Web Page Composer to build websites für our workers. Everything worked fine until the detailed WPC-navigation is not getting built anymore. We have this issue after a portal restart. Every steps to build and publish a website were done the right way.
1. Publish navigation und paste it to the external connector of the role in the form "wpcnavigation:///wpcontent..."
2. Permissions and security zones were set. Even the super admin is not able to see the detaild navigation anymore.
It is still possible to put single webpages to iViews and then to display them in the portal. And every function of the Web Page Composer works fine. The caches are deactivated. I tried to build a new site with new pages and a new navigation but there is the same problem, no detailed navigation is shown in the portal navigation. The role is assigned to a user and he can see the role at the top navigation but when clicking on it no detailed navigation appears, just a blank page.
As I mentioned this iusse appears after a portal restart. What could be the problem?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Georg

Hello Sandeep!
I created a new role and also did the Initial Configurations but it still does not work. May be there is a problem with the external connector where I connect the WPC navigation with the portal navigation? I know it sounds confusing but is there may be a way I could "reset" the WPC configuration? Because at the moment I tried to merge roles the system saved "some configuration" and started to avoid displaying the detailed navigation. So if could delete/reset/change this configuration, it could be that the navigation will be displayed again? I do not unterstand, if I just use one role and so avoid merging roles it just should work again? Or I am on the wrong way? Hopefully I am not telling bull**** right now! :]
At this moment our system running SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP18. The patch is only available at least SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP20. We are probably going to upgrade in october to SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP23 and then we can update the WPC, too. Our Basis said, I have to wait till october. Before this upgrade no updates will be done.
Thanks for your help so far!
Kind regards!
