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,

2) Is the Word toolbar of type SFK?
3) I've seen something about a news feature, am I wrong?
4) For the Image Chooser, we access to KM directories, is there metadata, thumbnails and a search functionality?
5) When will the next master release of WPC be available?

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

Use html code in web page composer 7.3

Hi all,
I have a question about the standard editors of web page composer in 7.3.
I want to create my own HTML code for the design of the portal page..
Is it possible to use the code through one of the standard editors?
At the moment I have created some html pages and store them in the KM content of the portal. Then I make this pages available with the KM Document iViews to use them in the Web Page Composer. The problem now is, that the links to other portal pages doesn't work..
So is there maybe a possibility to use the html code directly in one of the editors? Or do you know, how you have to define the links to navigate to other portal pages? I tried a href="TBN://..." like the links you get with the Link List Editor, but it doesn't work..
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Lydia

Hi,
now we have the tinyMCE editor, where you can insert and edit html-code. It works fine now for the layout,
but there are still a few problems with the links..
In the edit mode there are displayed all km images out of the km. But the images aren't displayed under the portal role, when i publish the page. And all the links like one to a wiki or the TBN links doesn't work, too.
Can anybody help me further?
Thanks in advance,
Lydia

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.

Will the Web Page Composer meet the blogging need?

Hi all (especially SAP-people)
My question is rather simple:
Will the Web Page Composer meet the blogging need?
As I can understand blogging features should come with the Web Page Composer unrestricted shipment from Ultimo September/Primo October. Is that true? If it is true, how much customization will it take to enable the blogging feature?
Kind regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
As for the confirmation I am not the right to help - as for the details on bloggin-like capabilities I believe that the following TechEd sessions touch on that (among other subjects):
<a href="http://www.sapteched.com/usa/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=173">UP214 SAP NetWeaver Portal: Roadmap for the Next 12 Months</a>
<a href="http://www.sapteched.com/usa/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=282">UP218 Workspaces for Organizations, Teams, and Individuals</a>
In addition to this I assume it should be possible to create Web Forms based on WPC that could be used for blogging-requirements: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/fef92d98f13830e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm - I suspect some kind of collaboration is needed in addtion to this.

SAP Web Page Composer: Editor exception iFrameObject == null

Hello everybody!
Yesterday we updated the Web Page Composer from 7.00 SP18 Patch 6 to 7.00 SP25. Everything works fine but wenn trying to save something in the editor, this pop-up appears:
"km_exception: !iFrameObject || iFrameObject == null"
Do somebody know what could be the problem?
Kind regards
Georg

Hi Naga,
Sorry for missunderstanding. Now I have got what you mean. So may be if we update the KMC-UI to the same SP level this iusse should be solved.
But first I have another question may be related to this iusse. In the SAP Note 1080110 you get the Information how to install or update the Web Page Composer.
"To update WPC from SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 13 to a higher SPS of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, perform the following two additional steps after you have finished with the procedure described above.
- Run a content migration report in KM. This report will migrate the standard web resources created with WPC SP13. [...]"
After the update we did not do this content migration report and I actually do not know what this report ist about. Could this be the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Georg

Web Page Composer - Creating Frontpage

Hi!
I'm trying to create a frontpage with the web page composer and have some questions. Is it possible to create a normal article and only display the introtext and if you click on it you get to the full article. I think there must be an option to adapt multiple xsl rendering files to the containers in the page layout and other xsl rendering files for the full article view. Or do i have to create a shor article and a normal article and show the short article on the front page and create a link to the full article, but this is not really effective. I have read all articles about the web page composer but didn't find any conclusion.
Another question is about the iviews. I managed to create an entry point for iviews, but if I assign an ivew to a container, the front page automatically redirects to a new page with the iview in it. I wanted to integrate a calendar iview. Is there any tutorial for this, didn't find one.
Thank you very much.

Ponraj -
Procedure
1. In the Web Page Composer, navigate to the Web page that you want to integrate into the portal navigation.

7. Once you have created the iView, choose the Web Page Composer category in the property editor.
8. In the RID of Compound Document property, enter the path to the KM folder representing the Web page.
Example: /wpccontent/Sites/MyWebSite/Web Pages/MyWebPage
You can paste this path from the clipboard.
9. Open the workset or role that you created when you carried out the initial configuration.
10. To add the iView to the workset or role, choose Add iView to Workset/Role → Deltalink from the context menu of the iView.

Links Web Page Composer

Hi!
How can i get the link of a page in web page composer.
I´m going to details of page and Settings - Properties - Access Links - Content Link. But when i use this link in "href" it show the page in full browser and i lost my area of masthead (that is in framework)..
Thanks

Hi Leo,
The direct access link for each WPC web page is dynamically constructed after you publish your site and assign the value of the site navigation path to your role folder property External Connector.
So to answer your question, you can not take the portion of the URL I indicated and derive the complete WPC page path as it depends partially on your role PCD path, and also the web page path in the KM WPC repository (i.e. <PCD_PATH_TO_PAGE_OBJECT> does contains a PCD path and a KM path to web page in the WPC KM repository).
Once you are able to get the correct access link of a WPC web page from its property Content Link, your should see the web page displayed within the entire portal layout framework you configured for your system (i.e. includes masthead, top level and detailed navigation).
Hope this clarifies a bit.
Best Regards,
Joseph

Portal themes and Web page composer

Hi,
I am wondering how applying portal themes would impact the views in Web Page composer based / created sites?
We are trying to create new sites using web page composer tool but was wondering if simply applying portal themes solves our problems of display (colors etc). I know that portal themes would not cover the layout of the pages but atleast we only have one other thing to solve.
By the way was also wondering if I got the concept correctly. When an admin person applies a portal theme, the specific team he or she assignes to the users will be permanent for all the users under a role or group right?
thanks in advance

Well Alvin, logically the theme applied to portal should take over any content published using WPC. I remember during our implementation, we did not have to had any extra efforts for creating themes for WPC sites :-)...Also for your other question, as per the display rule applied, the theme will be applied to all the users under a group.
~Cheers,
Vivek
