WebApps (Liquid) Secure Zone Help

Hi BC Team,
Hoping someone can help me with this... I am developing a Secured Team Portal for a client of mine. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to delve deep into Liquid yet, so, sort of looking for some help here : ). Here is what I want to achieve:
A customer is assigned to a particular secure zone (via my client, securing the customer to a secure zone that relates to them). This customer would only see the web app relates to them only. More than one customer may have access to the same web app item.
Assuming we assign these web app items to a Secure Zone, is there anyway to achieve this easily with Liquid? If so, any tips and tricks?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Ownership in the system of a web app item is limited to 1 person, you can not add to that, change that in any form.
You could have a custom field for a list of peoples names and run a liquid check to see if that name was the same as the person logged in (setting this with javascript on the web app item submission) BUT this is open to issues....
1. If someone made an admin entry and forgot to add or did not put the correct names down.
2. Liquid has a scope limit of only 500 items. You can run if statements, your own collection etc but it effectively only works within that 500 item scope. This is a major issue for me and I am trying to get even feedback from BC on this but they avoiding it at the moment

In the CRM are these people assigned to that zone under "subscriptions" at the top?

Secure Zone Help Needed

I want to add a secure zone to my website so I can create a members-only section to the website. I created it in Adobe Muse and am hosting it through Adobe Catalyst. I am trying to follow the instructions provided here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/add-secure-area-your-site.html . However, I do not have a link in my Site Manager that says "Secure Zone" like the instructions say I should. The only two links in this area are "Web Forms" and "System Email". I have the webBasics account. Do I need to upgrade to have a Secure Zone?

Help with secure zone/ forum registration

Im having difficulty grasping the secure zone concept and ive spent days watching videos and reading online so I hope someone can help push me forward.
I built the site with Muse, and im using dreamweaver and the BC site (older view) to help edit. I have a creative cloud subscription.
First I want to create a registration page to collect custom information on users, for example: The site is about traveling, so I want users to be able to select which countries they have visited, upload a photo, and control their own profile.
I want this user information to control the forums, their own blog, and their own photo galleries.
I'm not afarid of doing the work it till take to get this done but I dont understand if I need to use webforms, or web app. The forums module has a default registration page that is very basic, can I use that for a template and just expand it?
Also I attempted to make webforms and use them, however when I publish my site live again in muse, it seems to delete any forms I made in BC, do I need finish using muse and stay away from it now that the basics are complete?
Thanks for your help, and any leads or overall concepts that I am missing would be great! Thanks!

You can not do that in BC exactly. It is not designed for that sort of site.
You can not use the CRM to build that sort of thing.
You will need to build a blog with webb apps and allow them to submit their own and edit their own web app items. For the forums you have a login for the forums but you can not have their own indevidual forum.
Photo gallery - not using the BC module and will again have to be a web app and limited.
To pull that into a public profile you again can not use the CRM as showing their CRM information is ONLY when THEY are logged in. You would have to replicate their data in another web app. And pulling them together will be hard unless you know ajax etc and still complicated.
You probably better off using a different platform to achieve what your after. Coming from Muse and what that outputs as well your going to have a hard time of it. You can not use Muse to publish if you want more stuff like this because it will just do an all in one publish. If you do stick with BC you have to now Ditch Muse if you watn to do any of this right and more.

Extracting secure zone expiration date to be used for webapps

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the secure zone expiration date and use it to set the expiration date for webapps? I see that the expiration date of secure zones can be extracted through the email section, and not other places. globals.user doesn't output the expiration date either.
All that I need is the number of days so that i can automatically put the day into the Set Webapp to Expire in __ days.
Unless the webapps automatically deletes itself when users are booted out of secure zones?

I've found the module which gives the expiry date of the secure zone ie. {module_subscriptions render="collection" collection="subscriptions"}.
The output is:
"moduleName": "subscriptions",
"moduleDescriptor": {
"templatePath": null,
"parameters": "render=\"collection\",collection=\"subscriptions\"",
"apiEndpoint": "/api/v3/subscriptions",
"objectType": "-1",
"objectId": "-1",
"adminUrl": ""
"items": [
"entityId": 11421300,
"zoneId": 51,
"zoneName": "Member Only Area",
"expiryDate": "2015-04-30T00:00:00",
"sellAccess": "false",
"costPerPeriod": 0.0,
"cycleType": ""
"params": {
"render": "collection",
"collection": "subscriptions"
When I use {{subscriptions.items.expiryDate}}, it doesnt output any value. I suspect that this is due to the [] encasing the items sub-information. How can I extract this information for use?

Can't download itunes - security zone policy error message - please help!

Hi there,
I have had an ipod for a while now but can't use it as everytime i try to download itunes I just get the following error message;
This download has been blocked by your security zone policy - edgesuite.net.
I am using firefox on a windows vista with norton security protection. If you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this I would really appreciate it!

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Secure Zone Customer Activity Tracking

I'm new to Business Catalyst, so this may be obvious to some of you, but I have a question about tracking customer activity on my Business Catalyst site. I can track logins into Secure Zones, but only whether/not the customer has logged into the site.
What I'd really like to do is track a customer's usage of the site - in other words, I'd like to see what a customer's activity looks like on the site. So if a customer goes from Home (secure zone login), to About, to whatever other page. I suppose how much time they spend is too granular, but if I could figure out how to track their site usage, it'd really help me with a client. The only way I can see how to do it on my own is to require users to log in to every single page, which compromises far too much usability.
So, how about it? Is there anyone that can provide a suggestion, either using the BC interface, or using some other type of tracking mechanism?

BC can't do that out of the box. You may want to use Google Analytics for that.
Cheers,

How to create a Payment Form for access to multiple secure zones

I'm trying to create a Payment Form that allows the user to select from a dropdown of videos, each of which represents a secure zone page with an embedded video.
What I can't figure out -- and tech chat can't help -- is how to redirect the user to the correct secure zone for the video they purchased.
Videos are are streaming, vimeo embeds, not downloads.
Anyone know how to do this? Can post link to test form if you need it.
Thanks!

Hi,
This can be done for already available list. Have a look at the following steps:
Create an Empty SharePoint Project, then right click the project, add SharePoint “Layouts” Mapped Folder.
Right click the project name, add New item Application Page, then add the custom code there.
Under Features, add a feature, right click the added feature then add an event receiver, override the FeatureActivated method to set the new edit/new form as the default form.
How to set new form as default form:
SPList lstTest = web.Lists["Shared Documents"];
string newUrl =
string.Format("layouts/NewEditForm.aspx", web.ServerRelativeUrl, lstTest.RootFolder.Url);
var form = web.GetFile(newUrl);
if (form !=
null && form.Exists)
//string newFomrUrl = lstTest.DefaultEditFormUrl.Replace("EditForm.aspx", "docEditForm.aspx");
lstTest.DefaultEditFormUrl = newUrl;
lstTest.Update();
For more information, see

To add a custom list form, the best way I think is using SharePoint Designer 2010, it’s very fast.

Include Secure Zone name in Order Workflow Notification

Hi All,
Hoping that someone can help me with a solution for the following:
We have a site that has a number of secure zones, each secure zone has an individual product catalogue assigned to it.
The problem we have is that when someone does an order from within the secure zone, the Workflow notification does not contain any information about which secure zone the order came from.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to write some code that will query what secure zone you are logged in to and have this as a hidden field on the Order page, to be included in the Workflow Notification.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers,
Emily

You can parse the user's securezone subscriptions out of {module_subscriptions,true,true,,true}, or you could look for an attribute unique to each catalogue, like <div data-catalogue="{{tag_somethingUnique">...catalogue template code...</div> plus jQuery('[data-catalogue]').data('catalogue');

How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?

How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?
I want to show the customer details as well as some customer CRM fields that are applied to the customer. None of these are entered via a form, they would be entered by the client. The customer would need to be able to log in to view the information and get an email alert when it is updated. Help!?

Hi,
You might want to look into customer service zones which allows customers once logged in to see their case, order and own details.

How do you set the expiration date of a secure zone?

I am trying to set up a form where a user can sign up for access to a secure zone for 1 year. How do I set the expiration date of the secure zone for them to expire one year after they sign up for it?
I have tried using a hidden field named "ZoneExpiry" (I have tried "ExpiryDate" as well) in the form and set its value attribute manually in the HTML (with the format 13-May-13), and the expiration date always ends up being 31-Dec-9999.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have done this.
Have a hidden input field on form <input name="ZoneExpiry" id="ExpiryDate" />
Then have a function as follows:
var dat=new Date();
                                                  dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 365);
                                                  var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
                                                  var pretty = dat.getDate() + "-" + monthname[dat.getMonth()] + "-" + dat.getFullYear();
                                                  jQuery("#ExpiryDate").val(pretty);
Hope this helps.

Security Zones and portalapp.xml

On the page http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/85de55a94c4b5fa7a2d74e8ed201b0/content.htm
it says that the settings (security zone, permission) in the portalapp.xml defines who can access this application.
Then it says that PRT checks the users iView-permission and then optionally the security zone permission, depending on the setting of the parameter -Dcom.sap.nw.sz=true in the J2EE.
Question:
When this parameter is disabled (default), are the security zones just not checked when accessing an application throug an iView or also when they are accessed through direct URL?

Hi Manuel,
I just checked it against our SP12 installation, with the same component, which has the same settings as yours:
> it can be run by any authenticated user
This at least does not hold for our portal installation. Each access with the given URL, called by an authenticated user which does not have one of the admin roles set within the security zones, ends with:
Access denied (Object: com.sap.portal.system/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console/components/ClusterAdminConsole)
The application permissions do not play a role here, these are for the iView wizards, which applications are to be chosen.
So, double check the user you are testing with; maybe the version is buggy?
> In the Security-Zone-Permissions
> ara:/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console
Under components/ClusterAdminConsole the same settings are to be found? (I expect it, but just to be sure.)
Hope it helps

Secure Zone login form logs user in who isn't registered for it?!

I have a client who runs an eCommerce site through BC. We have a secure zone setup for his site and he wants to review and approve users before they are given access. There is good reason for this so please don't bring up counter-points as it is non-negotiable.
Anyway, the secure zone registration form basicly creates a user CRM record and allows them to select a username and password. I've instructed to client to continue into the CRM and select the checkbox next to the appropriate secure zone in order to authorize the account to login. As far as we know this has been working until yesterday. Now, when somebody who has an account but it is not approved yet tries to login, they receive the form error as to be expected. However they get logged into some phantom secure zone.
I say "phantom" zone because the actual registration form doesn't subscribe them to a secure zone, it's manual (as previously stated). This is a pretty big issue as a major reason for doing this is that my client doesn't want his prices visible to the public. Only after the person is in the secure zone are prices visible. Any help would be much appreciated. I know BC launched a new update recently which my be a contributing factor....thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
This has always been the case.
IF you have a username and password and login to a site you are logged in. You may very well not be part of a securezone but you are logged in. This is why hiding and showing content soley based on the isloggedin module is a very thoughtful process as you can not show content based on this knowledge.
This has nothing to do with the update, you probably only just noticed this behavior but this has been the case since BC born.

Secure Zone expiry by article value not by date

Hello Everyone,
We have been researching the BC tools along with Muse and love what we have found so far.
One request/feature we would like to explore...
Is it possible to calculate a members Secure Zone expiry by value rather than by date?
The reason I am asking is because a request has been raised that:
We apply a 'value/points' to a page/article (e.g. 2 points for a small article and 10 points for a long report).
When a member views the page, that 'value' is deducted from their 'total points' .
As a member uses up their pre purchased 'points' they would need to purchase more to see more articles in the secure zone.
Any comments on feasibility or other solutions are welcome.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
Cheers
James

You can not do this in BC out of the box and 100% not through Muse.
You would have to build a combo of custom CRM fields for logged in users and possible API work to know total point values of content etc. But then if they are things like pages, blog, web apps the new API's are not for external API access just yet.

Web App {tag_edit} doesn't render in web Web App search results within secure zone?

We have secure zones that are to display certain web app items to be filtered by Category. The secure zone members need to filter through web app items and edit these items from the list view. We've set it up accordingly and the list view is exactly how it should be when it is simply displaying on a page within the secure zone, however when the web app search/filtering is applied the "edit" tag doesn't display. Is there anyway to have this work or does it simply not? Please tell me it is possible to filter and edit web apps.
Thanks in advance,

Hi The Bowery, the edit tag will not show in general web app item search results unless the owner of that web app item is logged in to a secure zone to view it.
However, if you are happy for anyone looking at the website to edit all web app items, you can set that in the properties of the web app itself. Then I think the edit tag will show to anyone looking at the web app items.
If you only want the web app item owner to edit the web app item then you need to set up a secure zone for them to log in and view it.
It will show when the web app item owner is logged in and viewing the web app items, if the edit tag has been added to the layout customisations. So it will only show to the web app item owner.
You need to set up a secure zone for the web app item owners to upload and edit their web app items.
Search results on a webapp use the List template layout for the webapp to show a summary of the search results and the detail Template Layout is what shows when you click on the search result summary item. In webapp setups I usually put the edit tag in the List template
