role based portal navigation using navigateAbsolute

[Former Member]

Hi,

iviews are added to the corresponding roles like below.

Role1

-

---

Iview1

Role2

-

---

Iview2

I am trying to navigate from Iview1 to Iview2 using navigateAbsolute as below.

WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute("ROLES:pcd path of Iview2 under Role2",

WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,

null,

null,

WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,

null,

null,

"param1=" + some_value);

Its navigating fine but opening up the Iview2 under the same location of IView1 not

under Iview2 location. Iviews are set up with entry points 'yes' and roles with entry

points 'no'. Thanks.

HI..

It is opening in the same window because u have used SHOW_INPLACE Navigation mode (Displays the navigation target on the same page). Instead of this use SHOW_EXTERNAL_PORTAL..

Check this for more info abt Navigation Mode.

Puneet,

Thanks for the reply. My requirement is to open the second iview in the same window but opening the second iview under the top level navigation menu alloted for this. Basically I want a switch in toplevel navigation. SHOW_EXTERNAL_PORTAL opens a new window. OBN is a catch for my problem but I was suppose to follow navigateAbsolute.

Any further ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
