URGENT : Display Page To Public Users

Hi,
I'm working with PL/SQL PDK on portal 9.0.4.
For my process, I need to be able to check the 'Display Page To Public Users' checkbox on the Access tab of a page properties. I don't find how it is possible to perform it.
I see the field ispublic on table wwpob_page$ but I will not modify this directly. I would like to use the API.
The same could be interesting for the inherit access settings from template.
Thanks,
Eddy.

Hi,
I want to achieve exactly the same, but I fear using the "wwpob_api_page" API, since I think it's an internal ORACLE API and hence not a good basis for any long term development, due to possible future changes, etc...
Is there any way to do the same using a public, supported API? For example: "wwsec_api" or "wwsbr_api"?
Thanks in advance and happy new year!

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Portal splash page for public users

I am creating a portal and I would like to show a tailored splash page to public users. This splash page will probably have some graphics and text on it, and also a link to allow the user to Login.
Each authenticated user will be assigned to a group, and each group will have a default home page. When either group logs out, the splash page should be shown again.
How can I do this? Should the splash page be in a page group by itself? (Note: I am using 10g.)
Any ideas?
-- Rhonda

Hi Rhonda:
We did something very similar by doing the following:
1) Create a new page group and make its root page your public splash page. Under access, make this page public
2) Set the new page as the default home page for the portal
3) Set the default home page of each group to their appropriate page
4) Assign each user to their default group.
Now, when someone enters the URL of your portal, their see the splash page. When they log-in, they are taken to the appropriate page for their group. I think the only thing this misses is sending them back to the splash page when they logout. We had the default logout screen come up and users had to click [Return] to get back to the splash page. I'm sure there is a way to send them there automatically, but will leave that up to another forum reader.
You may also want to consider setting up a "nice" url for the portal so they don't have to put in the port number and the "pls/portal". You can edit your httpd.conf file in the Apache server to redirect a simple URL on port 80 to the right URL and right port. Just don't forget to reload the configuration afterwards.

Public Users - Minimize / Close Portlet

Is it possible to set up portlets to allow public users (users that will not log in) the ability to minimize and/or close portlet windows? The functionality works as expected for users that log into the system. I've attempted to grant access as the various levels (page, page group, etc.), but still the minimize/close images do not appear on the portlets when public users are viewing the page(s). I've also change the "Display Page to Public Users" and "Enable Item Level Security" without success.
Thanks in advance for any help provided on this topic.

Minimize/Close actions for is not possible for users who are not authenticated. These actions on portlets is treated as a personalization for a user. So without an user being logged in (i.e., the public user), it is not possible to minimize/close the portlet.
I will investigate this more and come back to you with suggestions if any.

Cannot display custom search result to Public user

I use the custom search portlet with auto query. When I log in to the portal, I can see the result. When I do not log into the portal, I do not see the result. The page is displayed fine, only this portlet is not displayed. Is there some setting I need to do?
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance,
John

John,
Yes I tried searching just the page group where the items are located but they were not found.
The page is public, with no security at item level.
I have now detached the template from the content page, re-applied Make Public to the page and the search works.
The access on the Template was Display Page to Public and Enable Item Level Security, with ORCLADMIN user Manage access.
I would like to use templates, as we need a consistent look and navigation, so let me know if you have any idea's where I have gone wrong, or if this is a bug.
Thanks,
Brenda

Omniportlet for public user

Hello,
I have Omniportlet based on existing web pages defined as user orcladmin. When I want see page as public user he ask me to define Omni porlet. Why?

I have recently been experiencing a similar problem on Portal 10.1.4 and have finally got to the bottom of it so thought I would share it here.
The problem was the language that the browser was set to (the browser that was used to define the portlet). The browser used to define the OmniPortlet was set to 'en-gb' but the OmniPortlet locale language in the provider.xml was 'en'.
I changed the language in the browser to be 'en' and redefined the OmniPortlet and then it displayed OK to all users. The solution was found on Metalink under Bug Number: 3573137.

User selecting default display page from detailed navigation

Hello all,
Can individual users select a default display page from the detailed navigation section? For instance, say I have a list of pages in the detailed navigation each showing a BW report;
Detailed Navigation
Report 1
Report 2
Report 3
Report 4
So when the users navigate from the top level to here then 'Report 1' is automatically displayed. Say that towards the end of the quarter userX will be looking at 'Report 3' mostly while userY will wish to concentrate on 'Report 2', can the users themselves set their default? Or must this be done by the portal admin, rearranging the order of these pages in the assigned role or changing the display priority of them? But then it wouldn't be per user, if they shared the role.
If the users cannot do this themselves is there a way to do it in Java perhaps?
Thanks for you time,
Patrick.

Hi Detlev,
We decided on an easy way through.
Each page has to display a BW report, very simple. So we're going to give the users an iView where they get a list of all BW reports that they have access to (read from a text file). From there they select what they wish to be their default report (written to another text file).
The default page (first on detailed navigation) reads the text file and displays the BW report found there in an IsolatedHtmlContainer. Not precisely what was wanted at the start but pretty much offers the same functionality.
Thanks for your help, I'll read the doc. It's always good to know these things.
Patrick.

Problem: Dynamic Page portlet is not displayed on a public-viewable page

I've written a little dynamic page portal that works nicely on secure pages, but when I create a new page and mark this page as "public viewable" - the portal is not displayed.
I created a 2nd public page and put several prebuilt and some of our own portlets onto this page - again none worked - except the prebuilt "login" portlet.
Is there a restriction that I'm not aware of?
Is there a documentation about this behaviour?
Can anyone post me a hit or link to documentatin?
Sincerly,
Art

Make sure your Portlet Provider access is set to allow 'PUBLIC' access with Execute';
To set, navigate to Providers > Locally Built Providers
Follow 'Grant Access' link near provider name

HT3867 My iPhone won't display the login page for public wireless hotspots

My iPhone 4S does not load the login pages of public wifi hotspots. It has not always done this for I cn remember a using it afew times. Help please before I break this phone lol

One possibility is that you have specified DNS servers in your Network preferences. (Network Preferences -> Advanced -> DNS, see if anything is specified.) If so, you want to create a new network location which doesn't have any DNS servers defined. (Network Preferences -> Location -> Edit Locations.) Create a new one (click the + sign), and use that location when logging on to public WiFi hotspots.
The other (and worse) problem might be a security feature added to OS 10.7.2 and higher versions.
Apple found out that a hacker could fool you into accepting a bogus "update" via a fake Software Update pop-up. The fix was to rig the OS so that, when you connect to a wifi network, a Mac running the new and improved OS will silently "phone home" to an IP address at apple.com, and inquire about the hotspot's certificate. If it fails to get back a message declaring the hotspot's certificate to be valid, it assumes that the hotspot login popup is fake, and won't let you proceed. The permanent solution is for the hotspot's "captive portal system" to allow Macs to connect to the Apple host, so that the OS can do the verification. Most public WiFi systems have made the adjustment, but there are quite a few (including many schools) who are behind the curve. If this is your issue, tell whoever runs the network to get with the program!
While waiting for that to happen, you can always copy the login page url from a PC (or older Mac OS) that is able to access the hotspot, paste it into your address bar, and take it from there. (Truncate the url at the first question mark . . . the ? and all the junk that comes after it are likely to be specific to the machine you copied it from. You'll see a fresh bunch of junk materialize, as the site talks to your Mac.)

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..
