Way of control style in web page composer

Hi, I want to know what is the way to control the style in web page composer.
Directly on the layout? I have heard something about "sdn_general.css", is that stylesheet? Where is?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

HI @ all,
I'd be really really pleased if somebody could help me because it's been now several day I tried to find out and I can't get the solution:
Me too, I want to customize the css layout of the output web composer makes on the external facing site. Where do I implement / change / access the css?
It seems that normally the output is dependent (e.g. the colors) from the theme which is configured in the portal. So, how can I "overwrite" it?
Thanks in advance & best regards!

Change Background and font style in Web Page Composer ?

Hi,
someone knows how change the background and font style/size of the web page composer ?
or how to control font size style and background of WPC page using CSS ???
point will rwrd

Hi,
We are on EP7 SP14 and WPC SP14 Patch 2.
Changing the css files should work perfectly...
Try changing these files under the KM Content:
KM Content -> root -> etc -> Web Content -> css
These are some of the css files that I have modified :
root > etc > wpceditor > css > runtime > sdn_general.css
root > etc > wpceditor > css > runtime > content.css
root > etc > wpceditor > css > runtime > sdn_apps.css
In particular, change the sdn_general.css and it will be changed.
It works for us....

Is there a way to control where a web page opens on my desktop when I click on a link in my email (Mail)?

So while I'm reading my emails, I get a lot of Twitter notifications. I like to just click on the Twitter link & keep on reading mail until I get to the end. But sometimes the Twitter web page opens right over the top of my Mail page. It's not a big deal, but I get a lot of these, so over the course of time it's a big waste of time to keep moving the web pages over to keep reading my emails.
Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?

Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose key which will show all open windows.

Migration of an existing web site to Web Page Composer

Hello,
I am investigating the options and the feasibility of the migration of an existing web site to a Web Page Composer (WPC) site. The web resources of the site can easily be copied to KM and used afterwards in WPC containers. However, they can neither be integrated to the WPC site navigation nor edited through the WPC UI. For example, only WPC Web Page or Web Sites can be WPC navigation nodes.
Has anyone ever done or tried such a migration? Do you know where I could find a description (or the javadocs) of the WPC API? Any suggestions or hints will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Youlian Dimitrov

Hi Youlian.
If I understand correctly you have rebuilt only a few hundreds of the old pages using WPC forms. Did you do this manually or you have found a way of migrating them programmatically?
Yes, we did it manually for a two reasons:
1. short timetable;
2. 20 intranet sites with variety of used technologies and tools, styles, navigation structures.
Did you leave the rest of the pages as HTML (non-WPC) files?
Yes. But we imported them into KM.
Does it mean that you have implemented only part of the navigation structure through the WPC/portal navigation?
Yes and no.
Firstly, in our case it would be a bad idea to bring all legacy, sometimes cluttered, navigation structure to a new platform as is.
Secondly, keeping in mind that in a common scenario portal already has own top level navigation you should carefully decide how deep is your site navigation structure will be.
Finally, migration it is a good time for information architecture redesign based on standards and guidelines.
Assuming that you have adjusted properly the links to all resources, have you encountered any particular navigation or display issues following this approach?
I could remember two limitations concerning a navigation:
1. you should avoiding links to navigation nodes inside non-wpc html files, because in this case a target page opens without DLN;
2. first linked non-wpc html page, which placed outside wpc container, should be opened in new window.
As for design, all our display issues caused by inline styles within source html files.
Did you notice any noticeable performance degradation after the migration?
We didn't have any degradation of performance. However, it is highly individual and depends on your portal infrastructure.

Web Page Composer - Edit HTML Pages?

Hi,
I'm looking at the web page composer on our SP13 NW04s portal. I'm look at it to possibly replace a few portal pages I have that are simply url iviews pointing to html pages. My question, when I put the html page in my km and place it in the wpc iviews on the layout, is there anyway to edit the html from the editor's perspective? or is the only way to edit the html pages used to give the "web content author" access to the km folder of the html pages?
If not, is there any way to for the web page composer articles to incorporate our style sheet?

Hi Chris,
no you can't edit the html files directly in WPC Editors perspective.
You can find the style sheets for WPC articles in KM at:
Content Admin -> KM Content -> etc-> wpceditor -> css

Marcus

Change background of web page composer

Hi, someone knows how change the background of the web page composer?
I have seen that the body have "class=prtlBody urFontBaseFam urScrl", but I do not know where is possible to change that style or to change that line.
thanks.
regards.

Hi,
WPC uses the theme from the portal and his own theme. The portal theme can be controlled by the online and offline theme editor. There you can also define the background color of the whole portal. The WPC themes can be found at:
/etc/wpceditor/css/runtime
-> content.css
-> sdn_apps.css
-> sdn_general.css
These WPC themes can be edited using a CSS editor or any text editor and will only be used by WPC.
The actual HTML tags (class, id, divs) used by WPC are defined in the page template. In a standard WPC page:
<table class="wpc_1c_outertable">
    <COLGROUP>
        <COL class="wpc_1c_col1" />
    </COLGROUP>
     <tr class="wpc_1c_tr_o">
If you would change the background of the WPC content, change / define a CSS for .wpc_1c_outertable
Of course you can create your own pages and own divs that will be used by WPC.

Tobias

Web Page Composer Questions

Hey again
Im new to web page composer so here are some questions that i cant seem to find a proper answer to:
1- Im using a Framework witch have two zones:
                 Header Component - Normal Iview
                 Content Area - witch changes depending on top level navigation node
                                      This area is mainly build with pages that have detail navigation and a iview to a WPC Page.
              My problem is: when i preview the iview's im using in content area i can see the WPC im supposed to see , but when i log in as a user that is supossed to have this framework and content as the only available , this iviews to the WPC content are not really showing. the tray is there but no content inside it.
              What could be the problem?
2- Im used to have my Custom CSS / JavaScript in components but with wpc that wont be the case anymore as we want people to change content if they want too. is there a way to load CSS's without a "invisible css provider component" ?
Thanks

Hi Vijayalakshmi,
An entry point provider makes one or more folders available as links that you can access from a central point.
Please refer to this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f6/da3340284e7a56e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
In this context as soon as you create an entry point, you can upload site specific/ global content and images or documents into these folders
Let me know if you still have any questions on it.
Cheers,
Sandeep Tudumu

Hi there,
i found the solution:
the solution is to modify the permission on security zone in this way:
go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and open the permissions of this object to add Authenticated Users gruop with this option:

Web Page Composer - Ordering Automatic lists in Alphabetical order

Sorry if this is in the wrong place (newbie here)
I'm trying to order an 'Automatic list' in Alphabetical order - based on page name/title
So within WPC I have a folder with 10 or so web pages in them. and the next level up I have a page with the 'Dynamic Content' element.
Within the 'Additional' field of the 'Dynamic Content' element I am able to 'orderBy=modified' or 'orderBy=created' but cannot seem to do what I would think is straightforward and order alphabetically by either name or title.
Am I missing something simple and obvious?
Or should I actually be trying to do this by modifying the XSL Template that controls the presentation?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Alessio,
have a look at at this thread:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=599765">Link for your error message</a>
Or maybe it is because your WPC isn't fully configured for anonymous access.
To configure it for anonymous access, try this:
1. Configuration in PCD - go to Content Administration -> Portal Content-> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Container iViews -> WPC
Default Containers. All of the iViews in this location should have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme. The next location which should be
checked is Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Portal Content ->Web Page Composer -> iView Templates. Again all of the iViews should
have the "anonymous" authentication scheme. The same applies to all the
templates which reside in Content Administration -> Portal Content ->
Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layout Templates. Finally
check if all the pages which reside in Content Administration -> Portal
Content -> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layouts have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme.
2. Configuration in KM - make sure that all the pages, which should be
displayed to an anonymous user have in their permissions the Anonymous
Users Group.
3. Security zones - if you go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and you open the
permissions of this object, the Anonymous Users group must be added in
the list.
If all mentioned objects have their setting as described and you still
experience problems (e.g. you see a browser dialog window for
authentication), the reason most probably is, that the KM is not
configured for anonymous access. A full description of the needed steps
is provided with note 837898.
I think the your error message could be solved with the first link.
But afterwards you need to perform the steps mentioned above.

Marcus

tr.wpc_hidden_row
td.wpc_mainarticle1, td.wpc_footer

Vishal -
First... we are all new to WPC!
Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container. I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
So...
Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
Navigate to:
Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
Edit the container you want to use.
There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name. From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default". So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
Is this clearer? I wish I could attach a screenshot.

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!
Georg

Approval process in Web page composer

Hi there,
We are building static pages using web page composer and trying to implement the KM approval process for those static pages. Now my questions are:
1. What should be the value I need to give for the folders for service permissions (Layout, collaboration,Full control etc...) for anonymous users
2. What should be the value I need to give for the folders for service permissions (Layout, collaboration,Full control etc...) for users with approval authorities
Your help is highly appreciated
Regards,
Ponraj M

Hi,
The approval process has nothing to do with the service permissions. It's regular permissions you should be concerned about, for example: If a user is a permissions owner of a folder then he will be able to skip the approval process or If a user has only read permissions then he will be able to view only approved documents.
Best regards,
Avishai Zamir

WPC Web Page Composer Change Component Layout

Hi,
how can I change the component layout in a Web Page Composer template.
For instance, I want to change the fonts and color for the title in the "Teaser" form.
Or I want to change the color of the links and the font size in the "Link List".
I have already created a new Layout, but I can't see anything to change the CSS-Parameters for the component layout.

Karl,
To answer your question, you will have to create your own web forms and then drag and drop to the container of the page layout to have the page rendered in the required style. This involves you creating the xml and xsl files corresponding to the new webform and refering the style(present in your own css file) in the XSL file associated wtih the new webform. Not only that there are quite a few configurations to be done.
Refer to the following sdn help to create new webforms - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/599b78b0aa3bdde10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm Hope it helps.

But it is not allowing me to do so.I tried by three ways
1} to upload this file directly from local machine & to add in WPC
2}By using linklist option
3}By creating KM Document iview;which contain swf file.& then adding that iview in wpc.
but at last it is not displaying though allowing to add it in WPC.
