Detailed Navigation doesn't change on navigation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an iView that contains links to other pages in the portal, and when I click the link, the correct page launches, but the detailed navigation is still highlighting the location from where the link was launched from.

I am using the EPCM.doNavigate going to an iView, EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/.../iViewName'), and a page, EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/.../pageName')

Is there something else that needs to be set in the doNavigate that controls the detailed navigation?

Oh yeah, we are running EP6 SP12.

Cheers,

Kevin

hi Kevin,

you should use the follow link to open an iview and mark the navigation panel:

a href="/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/YourRoleID/YourWorksetID/YourPageID/YouriViewID" target="_top">

you can stop the link string at a page or an iView a page is a better option

Hope it helps,

Hi Yoav,

I have tried to implement the link as posted below, using my page as the destination. The link works, but my detailed navigation then disappears. Also, my first and second level navigation then don't even highlight the section that I was in. That's something I haven't seen before.

Is there a setting within the page or iView that needs to be set maybe?

Hi kevin,

Are those correct?

YourRoleID = hr

YourWorksetID = ess

YourPageID = Pages

YouriViewID = TimeEntry

if not make them correct but if they are it is a mistry

Hi Yoav,

HR and ESS are just folders. Under the ESS folder there are folders called Worksets, Pages and iViews that each contain what their name says.

The ROLES:// path that is in the anchor tab is just the pcd location that you get inside the Content Administration.

Hi Again,

you need the start point of you url to be a role

<a class="subtitle" href="/irj/portal/?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/<b>YOUR ROLE HERE/</b>hr/ess/Pages/TimeEntry" target="_top">Time Entry</a>

Yoav,

Thanks for the help. I found what the problem was. I had to go into the role and then take the property of the pages that I wanted. Once I plugged that in, it works like a dream.

This will make people happy.

Hi Kevin,

Using the EPCM.doNavigate() , specifing the page path is the correct way. The behavior you have discribed might occur if your target page is not located under an entry point, or if it's marked as "invisible in navigation iViews". Can your target page be accessed diretly/manually (using the navigation iViews) ?

Hi Eitan,

I don't have my page marked as 'invisible in navigation iViews'. Yes, the target page I'm trying to access from my iView is in the detailed navigation. I don't believe that it is set up as an entry point (iView or Page). Upon checking, it is not an entry point and it is not a default entry point.

Cheers,

Kevin
