Open a link with a special layout set

[former_member197351]

Hi,

I created an image map with some links to folders. When I click on the layout set the folder is opened with the standard layout set, but how can I modify the links to open with a special custom layout set?

The links have the format:

<AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="http://com.sap.cm/taxonomies/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3" COORDS="218,435, 465,452">

I created the image map as it is shown in The Blog <b>Next Generation Image Maps</b> (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/985)

Hi Christian,

Two to three approaches come into my mind:

1.) Try to use HREF="http://com.sap.cm/taxonomies/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3?rndLayoutSet=YourLayoutSet". I'm absolutely unsure if parameters are passed through in the syntax given, but - give it a try!

2.) If you always want /taxonomies/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3 to be displayed with a certain (non-standard) layout set, use the layout service on the repository to define via the layout profile which folder should be display with which layout set, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/66/c1ce8df75af446a2b61ec072a5997a/frameset.htm - this works, it's just the question, if you say "yes" to the initial question.

3.) As in 2.), just using OTH files instead of layout profiles, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/02/e4e25538f7274eb08b317751f2f04b/frameset.htm (use property rndLayoutSet and SelectionCritera the path(s) again).

Hope it helps

Hi Detlev,

1.) isn't working I already tried it

With 2.) I haven't worked until now, but I think, I should try layout service for the future.

And 3.) is<b> working fine!</b> Well, I haven't thought to use OTH in context of a taxonomie. But it is a folder as any other.

By the way, do you have informations which can be done by OTH? I only know SelectionCriteria and Properties, but I don't have information about using actions for example. On the other hand I am willing to use further abilities of OTH. But there are only few documentations.

Thanks

Christian

Hi Christian,

You are absolutely right, there is almost no documentation. The best way to check the possibilities is to check the oth files provided within the standard. Reading them, you'd have the same knowledge about the stuff I have

Best regards

Detlev
