Detailed Navigation tree open

[Former Member]

For the Student tab in the top level nabiagtion in the portal when a student chooses 'Courses' the detailed navigation it shows:

^ Academic Records

^ Registration

Is there a way to make detailed navigation completely open so it look like:

^ Academic Records

*Grades

*Documents

*Apply for Graduation

^ Registration

*Schedule

*Course Catalog

*Registration

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi Donna,

That is not customizable by standard means, but there are some possibilities... See these two threads and further links inside them:

Hi Donna

I have implemented this for the "com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree.par". You have to change in the "LightDetailedNavigationTree.jsp" file. The variable

<i>nodeInSelectedPath</i> has to be changed to <i>true</i> instead of <i>false</i>.

<nav:recurseNavNodeChildren currentDepth="currentDepth" currentNavNode="currentNavNode">

<% nodeInSelectedPath = <b>true</b>; %>

<nav:ifNavNodeInSelectedPath>

<% nodeInSelectedPath = true; %>

</nav:ifNavNodeInSelectedPath>

Hi Geogi,

I will try this and award points when it is solved.

Thank you very much as this information is very helpful!

I was under the impression that there is a property on a page that allows this to be done by a standard way. This property is "Initial State - Open or Closed".

Hi Darrell,

> This property is "Initial State - Open or Closed".

... but that property doesn't determine if the tree entrie is open or closed but if the whole DetNav panel is shown or not... See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/db/a14c12b21d412a96ea09da3ba45f1a/frameset.htm for details.

Hi Geogi,

We are using EP 6.0 SP13.

Can you tell me the path to the file com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree.par?

Thanks,

Donna

Hi Donna,

You will find com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree.par under

\usr\sap\<SID>\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd

Thanks Kai! I had already found the file on our sandbox as it is EP 6.0 SP 15. Our DEV portal is still SP13 and does not have this file.

Hi Geogi,

I have changed the lightdetailednavigationtree.jsp file as you suggested in our 6.0 Portal SP15.

The detailed navigation still does not show opened.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Donna

The value of the variable "nodeIsOpen" determines this node property.The following changes has also to be done.

         if(nodeIsOpen) {
            if(nodeIsPressed) {
               openNodes.remove(nodeIDInteger);
               nodeIsOpen = false;
           	}
         } else {
            if(nodeIsPressed) {
               openNodes.add(nodeIDInteger);
               nodeIsOpen = true;
            }

to be replaced by

         if(nodeIsOpen) {
            if(nodeIsPressed) {
               openNodes.remove(nodeIDInteger);
               nodeIsOpen = false;
           	}
         } else {
               openNodes.add(nodeIDInteger);
               nodeIsOpen = true;
         }

Hi Geogi,

I have changed the jsp file. I received no error but there is no change in the detailed nav tree. It remains closed.

Any suggestions?

Check out the behavior of System Administration tab. The subpage 'System Administration -> Transport -> Transport Packages -> Export' opens automatically on clicking the toplevel workset. I have tried to find the setting that makes this happen, but without luck.

Any tips?

This is an easy one. There is a property on a page that is 'Default Entry for folder'. The export page will be set to 'Yes', and therefore when clicking on a folder, it will launch the page that has this property set to 'Yes'.

I hope this helps

But the folder is never clicked on. Neither is the page set to "default entry for folder". Hence this is not an easy one.

On my version, which is NW04 SP18, I have to click on the folder name, as the page is not displayed at all when going to the Transport Packages. I presume you mean when you click on the "Transport" link on the 2nd Level navigation bar. As this doesn't automatically open the folder nor the page for me, and I then have to actually click on the "Transport Packages" folder before the page will open.

I am on NW04 SPS 16. When clicking top tab "System Administration" the first 2nd level tab "Transport" opens, and so does the "Transport Packages" folder displaying the first page "Export". BUT when clicking the second level "Transport" tab the folder does not expand - like you describe.
