WAD: Changing context menu headings

Hi
Is there any way to change the headings of the context menu menu items? On a custom template, we have disabled broadcasting but not exporting to excel. The Export to Excel function sits within the 'Broadcast and Export' context menu - I'd quite like to change this to just 'Export'.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Trish

Hi,
Exporting the report through Excel can be done in two ways as you said.
One is through Context menu and other one through the Button.Both does the same job.
After exporting into Excel,you can use Excel options and save it locally.

WAD difference context menu command EXPORT

Hi all,
I am wondering which is the difference between the WAD context menu command "Export to Excel" (MENU_EXPORT_TO_XLS) and the standard command EXPORT with format XLS used on a button.
On clients without BEx (Web front end only) a user could use the context menu command, but when using a button with standard command EXPORT (format XLS) it´s not working well. A window opens and an excel sheet with data is shown, but you cannot edit any data cell in standard Excel way. You have to save the worksheet and reopen it to edit any cell.
Any ideas?
best regards

How to configure Context menu in WAD 7.0

Hi experts.
I want to take away some of the possibilities in the context menu in WAD.
( take away send e-mail ).
Can anyone please tell me where I can find this.
I would like to change this for all WAD- templates in the portal.
Thanks in advance.

Use the Context Menu web item within your template and disable the property. You can save this item to the library as reusable item and use it in all your templates.

Context Menu in WAD - disable the data entry active entries

Hi,
I have the following problem. We created an input ready query and brought this query via WAD into the portal. Inside the Web Template we have a SAVE Button and a Button activation the Data Entry possibility. Now when executing the Web Template, the user can save the data via the context menu (we have the steps "Data Entry Active -> Active | Save Changed Data | Reset Changed Data | Update ). Now we want to suppress these funcitonality, because using the SAVE button the systems starts a planning sequence for checking entries and a process chain with special funcition. The users must use the button, because the save function in the context menu does not execute the planning functions.
Maintaining the Web Template via WAD I don't have the possibility to disable these menu entries. If I disable all menu entries in the context menu web item, executing the Web Template displays only the Data Entry Active Menu . How can I suppress these special entries of the context menu, because I want to use other entries of the context menu and I don't want to suppress the context menu in total (I know that this is possible.)
Thanks in advance.
Juergen

Hi,
we have the same problem. I have found the following solution:
Use the following parameters for the context menu item to suppress the data entry active entries.
                <bi:CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM name="CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM_1" designheight="70" designwidth="300" >
                    <bi:MENU_CELL_LOCKING value="" />
                    <bi:MENU_VALUE_RESET value="" />
                    <bi:MENU_DATA_ENTRY_MODE value="" />
                    <bi:MENU_REFRESH_DATA value="" />
                    <bi:MENU_SAVE_DATA value="" />
                    <bi:MENU_RESET_DATA value="" />
                </bi:CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM>
It works for us.

Portal context menu change translation

Hello,
I want to change some portal context menu (when executing wad template) text in french. The translation is not very good some times.
I think it is possible to change it in a par file. But I don't how to find the par file to change.
Is it possible to do that ? And what the name of the par file to modify ?
Thank's

Hi Thierry,
I am really not sure which PAR file would solve your problem.
But you will have the required PAR files in your Portal in the below navigation,
Go to System administration -> Then Support Tab -> Portal Runtime -> Browse Deployment ->
Follow the Path ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
OR ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/pcd .
Good Luck!!!

Enhance context menu in WAD 7.0

I need to enhance the context menu in a WAD 7.0 template. There a different approaches to do this in 3.5, but none of these work with 7.0.
The javascript function SAPBWAddToMenu is no more available rsp. visible and there is no command/parameter in the web item "context menu".
Any ideas how to implement it with 7.0?

Hi,
I am sorry but I think it is not possible in BI 7.0 at the moment.

How to change default application in file context menu

I know you can change the application that opens a file in the file;s info window (command i) and then double clicking the file opens it in that application. However the context menu still shows the same original default application. How to change what is shown as default in context menu?

You can't. You can change the default app in Get Info which will change the first listed app in the context menu to that default app. How the context menu is built is not under user control.

Change the order of Free Characteristics in Context Menu

Hi Experts,
I execute a query on the Web Browser and right click on a cell (to see the Context Menu). I choose 'Change DrillDown' -> 'DrillDown By' and get a list of Free Characteristics.
However, the order in which the free characteristics appear in the Context Menu does not match the order of the Free Characteristics shown in the Navigation Pane (on the left side of the report).
This does not happen in BEx Analyzer (Excel), but only in the Web Browser.
I would like to know how to change the order of these characteristics in the context Menu.
Your solutions on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
I am also using BEx Web analyser and I can see the same order as in the left pane when I select the Drilldown by
I think you might have used the Free Characteristics and when you want to exchange them/drag them back you may be having issue
Us drag and drop for the navigation. Generally,dropping one element over another exchanges them & Dropping out an element removes it from that place
Hope this helps

Update for RDP 8.1 Windows 7 SP1 changed explorer right click context menu

I have a 4 pcs and 3 nas drive on my network. previous to the update I could view my pcs and nas drives in explorers right pane left click one and access the folders on it. since the update I can no longer do this because "remotedesktopconnection"
has been added as the default (previously it was "open") to the right click context menu. can someone help me change this back so when I right click a network computer icon in explorer I only see:
open
AND NOT                              remotedesktop
open in a new window                                                                                       open
create shortcut                                                                                                 open
in a new window
                                                                                                                       create
shortcut
the exact update that makes the change is: kb2592687

Hi
Theoretically it could be done by modify registry. For example you could
modify right click menu on .exe file by changing values under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\
However there are some problems that I cannot define that what kind of “file”
the network computer is.
And I found no article specific to this.
If you really need to restore your context menu and also need this update, I
suggest you uninstall this update first. Then back up your registry, install it
again. This time using process monitor you could record all registry modifications during
this update installation. It might take lots of work.
I tried to do that for you, unfortunately this update has been deployed in our environment which cannot be uninstalled from update history.

How do I change the order of context menu items in Private Windows?

In the context menu that appears when I right-click on a link, I prefer to have "Open Link in New Window" at the top of the menu instead of "Open Link in New Tab". I have added code to userChrome.css to make that switch:
#context-openlink {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;
#contentAreaContextMenu > * {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
Firefox version 20 added Private Browsing Windows. The above code still works for the non-Private windows, but doesn't affect the Private Windows, so in those I still have "Open Link in New Tab" at the top of the context menu, and "Open Link in New Private Window" as the second item. Is there a way to change the order of these menu items in Private Windows?

Clarification: In the code snippets above, the "1."s are supposed to be pound-signs; they got auto-reformatted incorrectly.

Context menu enhancement in WAD 7.0

Hi All,
I would like to enhance the standard context menu in my webtemplate
Scenerio
If I right click broadcast and export in context menu I get the following
- Broadcast to email
- Broadcast to Portal
- Broadcast to PDF
- Export to Excel
- Export to CSV
- Bookmark
Now I would like to remove Broadcast to Portal from the context menu.
steps I have taken
I added context menu web item and uncheck Broadcast in the properties and the following are left
- Export to Excel
- Export to CSV
- Bookmark
but I would like to see Broadcast to email and Broadcast to PDF as well
Can someone let me know how I Can enhance the context menu to exclude Broadcast to Portal
thanks

Vaidya,
It is extremely tough working with WAD7.0 on customization - I found it a minefield of XHTML and other components - you can look at adding a script itam and change the javascript - I do remember that in 3.x you could customize the context menu using plain javascript - and in all likelihood hoping that this has not changed - add a script item to change the context menu at runtime instead - might work....

Cannot change "Open with" (in context menu) from CS3 to CS6

I have CS5 and CS6 installed, and now I've also installed CS3 (because of problems with ps actions that does not work properly), and in the context menu "Open with", "Open" and "Edit" now starts CS3 instead of CS6.
How change all that to CS6?
Note:
when choosing "Open with", "Select standard program", and browse/selecting the CS6 exe-file, then STILL the CS3 is displayed in context menu and the CS3 starts. It's like there is some assocciation from CS6 to CS3 that cannot be altered??
Do I have to uninstall CS6 and install CS6 again, or what?
OS: Windows 7.
And yes, all my PS versions are legit.

When you install a version of Photoshop the install will associate many image file types the the Photoshop versions your installing. You may want to re-install CS6 on top of itself and the update it. You will still have all your Photoshop preferences and CS6 add-ons install and CS6 will be the default application for image file types. Or you can manually change all the image file type associations. Adobe Bridge CS6 may also be able to change image fie types associations in its edit preferences UI. I not sure about the bridge fie each version of the bridge I have installed shows that the same level as tne bridge version of Photoshop is associated with image file file type. After I installed CS2 I manually change Image File association back to CC. However I had to re-install CC a couple of times since then. I have CS2, Subscription CS6 version and CC installed on my workstation.
If you have old CS3 actions that do not work in CS5 and CS6 you can edit them and modify them to work in CS5 and CS6. If the action add adjustment layers and that is where your you having Problems.. Adobe introduced options in CS4 adjustment panel that can cause Photoshop to work incorrectly. If you set the option to Adobe defaults setting you may fine that your actions that add Adjustment layer work correctly. For some unknown reason Adobe refuses the address the bad options they added to the Adjustments panels fly-out menu. The options change Photoshop Behavior some time which simply put is a bug waiting to bite.

Enhance Context Menu Attributes in WAD

Hi All,
Iam trying to enhance the context menu properties (like including a select filter value using MENU_SELECT_FILTER)of the Web Application in WAD but when enter this in the HTML and give a value to it in the Template Properties Object tag its not getting saved when i try to execute it the command is getting erased. could any one let me know whether iam including the attribut in between the right object tag. i would really appreciate where i need to correct.
Thanks,
Padma

hi Padma,
if you want to include select filter value in enhanced menu, the tag is like following
<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"/>
         <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value=""/>
         <param name="MENU_SELECT_FILTER" value="E"/>
         TEMPLATE PROPERTIES
</object>
or you can set from web template properties, tab 'web item', section 'entries in context menu' -> 'select filter value', choose option 'enhanced menu'.
if you want to add menu, sample tag
<object> <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"> <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"> <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value="ZGDCONTEXTMENU"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_1" value="Search_Google"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_1" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_1" value="1"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_1" value="CHARACTERISTIC_VALUE"> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_1" value="0D_SOLD_TO"> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_1" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_1" value="BOTTOM"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_2" value="Help@SAP"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_2" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_2" value="2"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_2" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_2" value="BOTTOM"> TEMPLATE PROPERTIES </object>
hope this helps.

Hi Jay
Web items and HTML elements (for example, tables, texts, and images) that you insert into a Web template, as well as the Web template itself, have a context menu. This context menu has context-sensitive menu entries that you can use to call various Web Application Designer functions. You can, for example, use the context menu to save a Web item (for which you have specified properties by using the parameters) as a reusable Web item, call the properties dialog box for this Web item, copy the Web item and paste it into another Web template, or delete the Web item from the Web template.

Changing the context menu?

When I right-click on an icon and get the context menu, it's got some very lengthy names next to some of the programs (looks like build numbers or something). Sometimes it goes for 50 characters!
Question:
Where is this data stored (that is, the data that is actually appearing on that context menu) and how can I change it? I would love context menus that are slim and short, with just a one-word program file name...
Thanks!

I'm no expert on this, but...
The list that shows in the Open With section is generated either dynamically, or on startup and stored in the launchservices database. Which application will open which file is determined by the settings in each application's info.plist file. Launchservices scans each info.plist to determine the relevant file types for each app and then displays them as options when you go to Open With.
If you want to change the name of the app as it is displayed in that list, you'll need to figure a way to change the name as it appears in info.plist
You can access the info.plist files by Ctrl-clicking the app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. If you are going to try editing it, it's a lot easier if you install the Property List Editor included as part of the Developer Tools on your Mac OS X DVD.
