Using a Site Studio 10R4 Dynamic List Element Definition

Hi All,
I've created and can use a Static List Element Definition > Region Definition > Region Template with no problems based off of the 10gR4 samples.
However, there is no example that I've found to utilise the Element Definition of a Dynamic List. I'm attempting to use the same sample code as provided for a Static List but having no luck displaying the results of the query...
Does anyone have some sample code used in a Region Template or Sub Template to show how we use a Dynamic List Element Definition please?
I noted from another thread in this forum that there are some iDoc calls to make which load the query defined in the Element Definition... I can't find any documentation regarding this either.
Thanks

How to create dynamic list element in Site Studio designer?

Hi all,
I have installed the Site Studio Designer(10gR4).The dynamic list element that i have added in the contributor region executes a query to search and display all the files in a particular folder.In the contributor mode when i try to add/edit the dynamic list element it gives an error saying :
Unable to perform the action due to the following reasons:
[+] Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to create result set for query 'SELECT IdcColl2.dID, dDocName, dDocTitle, dDocType, dRevisionID, dSecurityGroup, dDocAuthor, dDocAccount, dRevLabel, dFormat, dOriginalName, dExtension, dWebExtension, dInDate, dOutDate, dCreateDate, dPublishType, dRendition1, dRendition2, VaultFileSize, WebFileSize, URL, dFullTextFormat, dFullTextCharset, DocMeta.* FROM IdcColl2, DocMeta WHERE IdcColl2.dID=DocMeta.dID AND (((((( xCollectionID >= 14 AND xCollectionID <= 14 ) AND NOT ( (CONTAINS(xDontShowInListsForWebsites, '{DIPP_Sample}') > 0) )))))) ORDER BY dDocTitle desc'.

I have enabled the full-text search on the content server and also included xWebsites and xWebsiteObjectType columns to be full indexed in the Zone Fields Configuration.Is there any other setting to be done?Please help.

Hi
Include the xDontShowInListsForWebsites also from the zone filed and then update it.Then test it out.
Hope it helps

Web Page created using the Site Studio loads slow.

Web Page created using the Site Studio loads slow, where we hard coded the program to fetch the data from the database.
Please tell me any other way to write the program so that it takes less time to load the site.

Hello Marcus,
I didt the same what you have explained. I followed the following Steps.
1. Created the Web Page and published(It is in Umlock State).
2. Created the Site Navigation and gave the target for that page.
3. In the Portal Content, I created a role , then folder and for the folder property, i gave the External Connector wpcnavigation:///wpccontent/Sites/News/Site Navigation/navigation.wpc ( Say for ex News is a Site) and Entry Point as Yes.
4. After this i assigned that role to a user(Super Admin).
After doing the above steps, I couldnt able to see the Web Page displayed.
Thanks

Unable to use #A01# substitution variable in dynamic list

Greetings...
I am attempting to generate a dynamic list on the page. The list will contain a flag indicating whether the list entry is actually hidden to the user or not. If it is hidden to the user, then I want to apply a particular class to that list entry when rendered.
The dynamic list has the following SQL:
SELECT null lvl,
 menu.menu_nm label_value,
 q'!javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '!' ||
 menu.menu_id || q'!');!' target_value,
 null image,
 null image_attribute,
 null image_alt_attribute,
 case when menu.hidden = 'Y'
 then 'class="hiddenNode"'
 else null end attribute1
from ( select 'N' hidden, vis.* from std_vw_apex_menu vis
 union all
 select 'Y' hidden, hid.* from std_vw_apex_menu_hidden hid ) menu
where menu.menu_ty = 'MAINMENU'
order by menu.sort_order
I am then using a list template with the following as the "Current" list entry:
<li class="active"><a href="#LINK#">#TEXT#</a></li>
... and the following as the "Non-Current" list entry:
<li><a href="#LINK#">#TEXT#</a></li>
The result I see in the rendered page however is that the substitution is not happening, as indicated in the following snippet :
<li><a href="javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '18893191201');">Education</a></li>
We are on ApEx 4.2.1. What am I doing wrong as I've seen other threads indicate that it is possible for dynamic lists to use substitution variables in their list templates.
Shane.

I found the solution at Attribute substitution not working in templates for dynamic lists.

Metadata values not showing in Site Studio layout using Idoc Script

Hi All,
We have a SS layout (secondary) with replaceable regions for showing content that is listed in a primary page dynamic list.
Part of the layout shows contribution elements of Contributor Data File content items, but part of layout also shows metadata values. We use  to show the content item Title with no problems.
However, for some content items, some metadata values are not showing on the layout - specifically a custom metadata field called xFinishDate (which is of type 'Date' in Config Man). The code  simply does not work (nothing is displayed) for some content items, despite definitely having a set FinishDate value. Some other content items show this value fine.
The  value works for ALL items, but the  does not, and there appears to be no difference between the items that it does, and does not work for. They are all CDF, same DocType, same CheckIn profile, etc.
The non-working items are all released and indexed. Their Content Information in Content Server shows complete metadata. I have resubmitted the non-working items for reconversion in Repo Man but no luck.
Is there something I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Luke.

Actually the default DOC_INFO resultset that is on the page seems to be for the content item being loaded into the secondary layout's replaceable regions. This is why DOC_INFO.dDocTitle gives the results expected.
However, I think I have discovered why the xFinishDate value was not showing. Using sapan's code (and modifying it a bit) I was able to print out all the metadata field names and values for default DOC_INFO resultset.
Using this URL as an example: http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011217
At the top of page region (replaceable) where the Contributor Data File is loaded into, the DOC_INFO resultset is relevant to the content item that is being loaded into the layout (content ID: BD3_011217 - as per the URL format), which is what we want.
However, throughout the Contributor Data File content, if a link is made using the Site Studio link wizard via FCK Editor (in the above case, it is the position description link, which is a link to a PDF) and the link is 'Link to a file' and the 'Choose Target section' is selected as 'Use default website section metadata', the resulting link looks like "http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011216". Any references to the DOC_INFO resultset on the page after the instance of this link now use the metadata of the content item referred to in the link, not the original content item. I have dumped out the DOC_INFO fields/values in different parts of the layout to prove this. The linked content item has no xFinishDate value so this is why nothing displays (displaying xFinishDate needs to happen after the link to the position description).
I guess I need to either:
- change the way the link is made to the content item to "Link to the Content Item's URL", but I would prefer not to expose the resulting path e.g. "[!--$HttpRelativeWebRoot--]groups/group-name/@account-name/documents/content-type/content-id.pdf"
- explicitly make a resultset using  with the content ID I know I want and use it instead of the default DOC_INFO one. Is there any other way to make a resultset comprising of a single item's metadata?
9.45 SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
■ Description: This is a wrapper around the regular CS GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
service. It allows some Site Studio features to be specified simply as flags and have
the real query syntax be constructed on the server. It can modify the standard
'SearchResults' resultset to contain an additional column called 'ssUrl' which will
contain the Site Studio-friendly url for all of the search results.
■ Parameters:
– siteId: the unique identifier of the site (required).
– ssLimitScope: True/False, restricting scope to within the site only (optional).
– ssUserSearchText: user-supplied search text (optional).
– ssWebsiteObjectType: object type (optional).
– computeFriendlyUrls: True/False, modify results to include ssUrl (optional).
■ Returns: resultset named ’Search Results’.
■ Security: The user must have at write access to at least one security group on the
content server
Thanks to everyone for their help. Almost there!

How to set one of the elements in contributable mode to non editable in oracle site studio

Hi,
I am using oracle site studio and webcenter content.In contributable mode for a cdf I have a static element and 4 columns in that(4 elements). I want to enter data in all 4 columns and after that I want to make one of the column as non editable. Is it possible? If yes, kindly let know how this can be achieved.
Thanks in advance

If you don't need to actually display the non-editable region in the editor, then you could do the following:
Add all 4 elements to the region definition.
Add your content/data.
Remove the non-editable element from the region definition.
The content/data will still be stored in the CDF and should be retrievable.

Site Studio Page Element for a photo/pic

Hi,
I am trying to develope a UCM website using Jdev Site Studio.
I have to create a user profile page. The page should have photo, introduction, interests and contact details.
I have created a region definition with 3 WYSWYG elements for introduction, interests and contact details. But I am not sure
what element to use for photo. An example or some sample code which uses some site studio element for photo will be helpful.
Thanks
Mahendra

Mahendra,
I believe you can use either WYSIWYG or IMAGE ONLY elements. Check the tutorial available at the link mentioned in this thread: Site studio 11g - tutorial - Contribution mode prompts for userid / pass

How to get the dID of any Content from SS_DATAFILE in Site Studio 10gR4?

Hi,
I am trying to get the dID of a Contributor Data File from its dDocName (SS_DATAFILE). I can do a search based on this Content ID but if I am able to get the dID using one of the Site Studio variables, it will be great.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi Sapan,
I am trying to customize a Dynamic List element to display the list of related content for the contributor data file. For this, I use the GET_RELATED_CONTENT service exposed by the Oracle RelatedContent component which needs the dID as a parameter. Now in a Contribution Region, I can get the the dDocName (Content ID) of the datafile from the SS_DATAFILE Site Studio variable. However, I need to get the dID from this Content ID.
Thanks for your reply.

WCMPlaceHolder Service doesnot return Dynamic List contents

We hvae a dynamic list element in a place holder and when we call WCMPlaceHOLDER service from my CIS we cannot get contents of the list.
Does this service support dynamic lists or a customisation is required?
regards,
deepak

Hi
There is no customization needed but the only thing you need to check (I mean uncheck the option) of Limit scope of search option. Basically the issue is that you have a search that has "limit scope' set. What that does is restrict the query to only match items that contain the current site Id in their xWesbites metadata field.
The problem is that when you use WCM_PLACEHOLDER you are not within the context of a Site Studio site so there is no current site id.
You will need to either not do a limit scope search or you will need to provide a siteId paramater to the WCM_PLACEHOLDER call.
I myself faced this issue and once I removed the limit search scope (unchecked ) I could get the results displayed with the WCM_PLACEHOLDER option.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Srinath

Some questions related to site studio 10gR4

Hi everyone
We are developing a solution using UCM, and I have couple of questions regarding the usage of the site studio 10gR4.
It will be really great if any one of you can either answer or point me to the rite document/webpage where I can get these answers.
The requirement is, we are going to use the site studio to develop the page template, and place holder, region definitions, element definitions etc. And then the contributor will contributor will contribute content using the contributor mode. But, there is another website in which this page template will be embedded, a Java based website.
So it will be like, we create this page template, and call it inside a web application using CIS.
Now my questions are
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc?
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
Thanks in advance
Rupal chawla

Thanks for the replies, but I have found the answers to all of the questions, i will put them here for others as well ...
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Nope, there is no service to call Page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc
Since there is no service to call page template, this question remains invalid. However, the answer to the other part with reference to place holder will be, the place holder CIS call will return the HTML that can be embedded in the calling framework. This HTML will contain everything present inside the place holder like fragments, RD, RT etc.
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an
embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Atually the Cntrl+Shift+F5 generates an event which calls the begin_edit_session service, since we can associate this event with anything, it hardly matters if we are using Cntrl+Shift+F5 or a button click or a link on the page, the sole purpose remains calling the begin_edit_session service. In the contribution mode, we will only see the embedded part that is coming from the UCM and not if anything is present in in the embedding framework
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
placeholder service, and begin edit session service, obviously there are many of them (you can see in <UCM>\CS\custom\SiteStudio\resources\ss_services.htm), but for CIS integration these are the useful one's.

Site Studio Contributor as a form

I have a requirement where end users need to fill in a short form (1 x plain text field, 1 x WYSIWYG field) and submit it as an xml file to the content server. We cannot use the Site Studio Contributor in this scenario, but wanted to hook into the Site Studio services/methods/functions mainly for security i.e. cross site scripting etc.
Does anyone know if documentation for services/functions to use? Any tips would be much appreciated.
We using 11gr3

Dynamic List of record subsets with a Many-to-many relationship

I'm feeling pretty lost here and would appreciate any pointers.
I'm trying to use ADDT to create a dynamic list of records that includes a subset of comma separated list of many-to-many related records. Specifically I'm listing a bunch of workshops that have various teachers associated with each workshops. Teachers team teach a variety of workshops, thus the need for a many-to-many link table.
I've created a basic query to retrieve the workshop list, then another query to return the teacher's associated with the workshops. However I can't figure out how to use ADDT to list the teachers for each workshop.
I have a sense that it has something to do with a nested repeat region but there does not seem to be a way to get the wizard to see beyond the link table.
Am I way off here?
Thanks!

Hi,
a list used in the singleSelectOne component does not change or set the currency in the list VO (in opposite to the navigation list). So this synchronization needs to be done programmatically. Examples of dependent list of values are available here

Jdeveloper vs Site Studio

Hello,
I installed all of the software which I believe is needed to create a website from scratch. I am stuck trying to figure out if I need to use JDeveloper or SiteStudio to create a simple hello world home page. Off the OUCM tab under WinXP is Site Studio. Off the WebLogic tab is Jdeveloper. Which is the correct workflow?
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. any links that demonstrate the correct workflow?

You can follow the manual available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e13650/ssxa_creatingsites.htm#sthref327
(this shows how to create a simple home page from JDev)
Take a look at this link if you find something useful for Site Studio: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/content-management/tutorials-084061.html
(however, once you get the principles, you should be able to do it yourself)
I'm wondering why you post to WebCenter forum? Of course, even with WebCenter you can create a simple "site" - check here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10273/toc.htm
