Using Content Area API's

Hi,
I want to use public API to add items to content areas. However this API ( wwsbr_api) seems only work when user is Portal30. When i try to run this API with other user it fails.
i've run the script sbrapi.sql to add some grant to the user.
This is the command that i'm trying to run with a database user that is diferent from portal30
declare
id number;
begin
ID := portal30.wwsbr_api.add_content_area
p_name => 'ENTERTAINMENT',
p_display_name => 'Entertainment Site',
p_versioning => portal30.wwsbr_api.VERSIONING_AUDIT,
p_default_language => 'us',
p_logo_filename => 'c:\temp\confirmar.gif'
end;
This is the error that is raised ..
The following error has occurred:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL30.WWSBR_API", line 32
ORA-06512: at line 4
i'll apreciate some help
Thanks

Does the content area API work with Release 2?

Does the content area API work with Release 2 yet?

Release 2 page group APIs will be available in early 2003, in the first PDK version following the 9.0.2.6 (upgrade) release. These APIs will be backward compatible with the 3.0.9 content area APIs.

I was wondering if i am pioneer or we already have pioneers...:)
also if pioneers are willing to share their experiences.

Harish,
This question is more appropriate for the "Oracle 9iAS Content Areas" section. Try it there...

Displaying content item -(IContentItem) in portlet using Content Server API

Hi,
I am using the latest Content server API in my remote server to get the published content items. I have to display the content item in the JSP portlet.
So how to display the content item in the portlet, if you have the IContentItem Object retrieved from the content server ? Is there any mechanism to get the HTML code/JSP code that corresponds to the IContentItem object?(All the content item will be an html or jsp )
Currently we are extracting the publish url and opening an http connection to retrieve the html, which is not a good solution if you have mutiple portlets in the same page. So please suggest how can I display the content item (IContentItem Object) in the portlet.?

Hi Anand,
I am facing the same problem on IBM WebSphere Portal 5.1.
Did you find a solution to your problem ?
Thanks

Using Content Area

Hello,
How I can control the page of a content area so that it always is within the region of portlet?
Thank you

Hi,
Yes you can do that. Edit the profile of a user or group of users and set the default home page for the user.
Pls. post the questions regarding content areas in Portal-Content area forum.
Thanks,
~Kirit.

Content Area API in 9.0.2 (wwsbr_api) is there a workaround?

The end goal is to have a button in a region that takes users to an add item form. I want to have the button right on the page, without having to go to edit mode.
So, looking at the PDK I see wwsbr_api.add_item.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/sdk23ai.htm
Unfortunately, 9.0.2.2.22 does not support this API. Additionally, this document references a view, WWSBR_ALL_FOLDER_REGIONS, that does not exist in this release of Portal.
Does anyone have a suggestoin for how to do this in 9.0.2?

11g XE is actually based on 11.2.0.2.0. It actually includes some fixes and changes in addition to that patchset.
That means the problem either exists in all post-11.2.0.2 releases or is due to some XE-specific change. If you experience the problem in any post-11.2.0.2 or 12c release, let me know. I can file a bug and have the problem identified and fixed.
With an XE bug, it can't be fixed until Oracle's next XE release, even if we identify it now. That will likely be around a year after Oracle releases DB 12c R2.

Content Area - Java API

Hi All,
If there a Java API for the content area? I need to implement a portlet which will need to deal with the content area.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated!
Vince

ignore my last question, I found an example on the internet.
The whole reason why I have to write my own search portlet was that the search portlet came with oracle portal does not support search for selected content areas, it has to be one or all. When I look at the procedure call submit_search in the content area API, it also only supports searching in one/all area(s) according to the parameter ( I copied & pasted it from the doc):
p_caid - The ID of the content area to be searched. Note: If you enter the value 0, all content areas are searched.
Datatype: in number
Default: 0
It were an array of number instead of just number, then I could pass in the content area IDs to be searched. I couldn't do so, because it only accepts the specific ID or 0 (for all). Is there any workaround?
Thanks,
Vince

Accessing secured content area view from JPDK

Is it possible to access the secured content are views from JPDK?
For example if I am logged on as user USER1 in Portal, is it then possible to access WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS as USER1?

hi,
You can access Content Area APIs from any user using JDBC calls. But, you may have to grant 'EXECUTE' privileges on those procedures (& SELECT privilege if its a DB object like Table, VIEW).
If you are using PL/SQL procedures in your application, you can directly access them through PL/SQL calls, otherwise you have to use JDBC.

Advice on content area layout & subfolders

Hi all!
We're just starting to use content areas for real document management, and I was hoping someone could offer some advice on the layout of one or more of these content areas.
I'm trying to build a typical corporate "Document Library". Parts of the library will be available to "Public" corporate users (corporate users who have not logged on to the app yet), other parts will be available to all authenticated users, and other parts will be available to only certain groups. (Relatively easy so far...)
So far I have these all in a single content area called DOCLIB, with two folders: PUBLIC and CORPORATE. (Ultimately there will be a third high-level group for FRANCHISE users -- non-corporate stores.) PUBLIC is accessible to public users; DOCLIB itself and DOCLIB/CORPORATE are accessible to AUTHENTICATED_USERS. PUBLIC contains subfolders such as NEWS, HELP, FAQS, HRDOCS ("public" HR docs), PRESS_RELEASES, etc. CORPORATE contains subfolders such as NEWS, PLANNERS, IT_DOCS, HRDOCS ("logged on only" HR docs), etc.
A few questions:
1. Does it make sense to break out the PUBLIC and CORPORATE folders at the very top level, or are do people generally put the private folders as subfolders of the corresponding public ones? (Ideally I'd rather put these both into the same folder and simply show more documents once the user logs on, but I couldn't get this working properly.)
2. I currently have the "DocLib" content area showing on the main portal page, defaulting to the PUBLIC folder. However, once the users log in, I'd like to switch the focus to the root DOCLIB folder instead of the PUBLIC subfolder. As it runs now, the focus remains on the PUBLIC folder, and the user must click on the folder path to move to the root folder. Is there any way around this short of creating two different tabs, one for public users and the other for logged-on users? (Once they log on now I show an additional 3-6 tabs on that page.)
3. I'd like to show certain folders (such as "News/System News" and "News/Company News" in their own portlets (in addition to inside the overall Document Library portlet). Unfortunately, once the user logs in, the folder path is displayed, and the user can navigate to parent folders while inside this portlet. (This will horribly confuse some of our users...) I know I can turn off the folder path for this folder, but then it is also gone when this folder is displayed inside the overall "Document Library" portlet (where I'd like to still show the folder path). Is there any way around this?
4. Is there any straightforward way to display the same document in more than one folder? If I use perspectives, it looks like I then give up control over how the page gets formatted, if I use a Folder Link, the folder opens up in its own page instead of inside the portal area, and if I use a URL to point the "second" copy back to the first, this will be difficult for later content managers to maintain. Am I missing another easy way to do this?
I know how to do all this via the PDK, but we're trying to use as much of the built-in content-management tools as possible instead of building more PDK-based code.
btw: We are still in Portal 3.0.8, although we're moving to 3.0.9 as soon as possible.
Sorry for the length of the post, but any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All
We are using release 2, and we are looking into using a page template containing a JSP portlet for a consistent navigation bar/header. What do you think of this approach?
Regards
Harry
Jon,
There are a variety of ways to do this:
One way is to modify the page that the content area is on to contain the portlets that you would like on your page. Those portlets would contain your banners, links, logos, etc. Note that the page under a content area can not contain tabs.
Another way to do this is to create separate pages and link to those pages from your navigation bar manually.
Note that in release 2 of Oracle9iAS Portal we have combined the content area and page concepts so that there is no more 'drill out of the portal page' loss of context, so you could use Oracle9i Application Release 2 also.

Skinned Panel Content Area Problem

I have instances of the Panel component that was skinned
using the Flex Skin Component Kit for Flash. The problem is that
the content areas of these panels occupy the entire panel area. An
unskinned panel has a content area that is within the panel's edges
and header. For my skinned panels, the content area extends to all
four edges of the panel (top, bottom, left, right). Any components
placed inside the panel goes beyond the usual white content area
and overlaps the header. How can I fix this content area size
problem? Please help. Thanks.

Can you use content area coordinates, or some manipulation of
the global, local, and content coordinates?

Can someone explain me how do we use content areas.
Is it a part of an application?
Why can we import pictures styles and other things to content area.

Modify a content area item so it is approved (via API?)

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to programmatically modify an item that has been created with approval so that it is approved?
I am trying to integrate a workflow process to item addition in content areas so that the final step is to programmatically approve it(thus making it appear in the folder). The publicly available API procedures/functions to modify/create an item do not specify a way to approve as well.
Can this be done? Thanks in anticipation
