| [CLOSED]Dynamic Left Banner | Login/Join |

I have a portal with multiple pages. It was created with a top and a left banner. The top banner is a standard gif/jpeg. the left banner is an HTML selection page. When it was first developed the selections were the same across the pages now they are different. My thought is if I can know which page that I am currently on I will be able to either create a procedure or javascript or jquery to decide what to show. Does anyone know how to find out the current page/tab in a portal you are currently on?This message has been edited. Last edited by: <Emily McAllister>, dksib DC Tech Services Inc WF 8.2.1M | ||

Not sure if this will help, however if you look across the bottom of the portal edit mode it shows you what the pages are, the problem is that banners are attached to the portal, not to the individual pages,,, at least that's my understanding, you might need to replace the Banner with separate html procedures for each page...... just a thought.

The banner concept is so that its the same across each of them. If you want them to be different, why not just make it a column, that way you can have them different based on which page your on?  - FOCUS Man, just FOCUS! ----------------------------- Product: WebFOCUS Version: 8.1.04 Server: Windows 2008 Server | |||

MG/GavinL, Yes, I do understand this, and in the process of doing just this. My issue/concern is that this is only one of many Portals that was created this way. The client wants the look and feel to be the same across all portals and pages/tabs. I am able to come close but not exactly the same. dksib DC Tech Services Inc WF 8.2.1M | |||

David, I came across this issue around a year ago with the portal product. We finally came across the semi-new IBI RDFTemplates CM package you can request from IBI and they will give you it. It contains a lot of self contained HTML template pages that work with AppStudio to allow you to add content to the panels in them and has built in filtering DIVs that collapse and work in conjunction with various Js files that are a part of this CM package to enable this. Same look and feel across all pages of your portal, and each page containing their own filters that can either collapse completely out of view or shrink to a bread crumb row of which values are currently selected. Ask IBI for the RDFTemplates CM package. Takes a lot of the work of creating these things out of the equation. Plus these things work with AppStudio's HTML Composer too without any trouble. Bonus! lol Note: These things only work in 8.1.05 and up. 8.2 will have these built in I think. 8.2.02M (production), 8.2.02M (test), Windows 10, all outputs. | |||

In 8.2 they are giving developers a way to handle page to page, even link from page to page, but prior to 8.2 there is no way to tell what page your on. Banners don't currently reload either, so not sure how you would trigger this banner to know you changed pages. Since IBI uses JS to write the pages, trying to find IDs of DIVs/components is a lengthy process and could change the next time it's loaded based on new DIVs on the page. If you look at some of our portals, the portal is nothing more than a wrapper around one big fex/html we create and control. We control the header, footer, and all done within HTML5. I'm a bit of a control freak so we use the portals for the security only. - FOCUS Man, just FOCUS! ----------------------------- Product: WebFOCUS Version: 8.1.04 Server: Windows 2008 Server | |||

Gavin, I look forward to seeing that added in! Good to know that they are providing an API or something to help with this. Also, I'm with you. The portal is nothing more than a semi-responsive container now that holds self-contained HTML5 pages for us. It's there for the security model IBI implemented, but really nothing more. Looking forward to some major advancements in the 8.2+ portal features. 8.2.02M (production), 8.2.02M (test), Windows 10, all outputs. | |||
