Custom layout not available after browsing several levels

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have assigned a custom layout set to a repository and checked "Apply settings to all subfolders". Then the layout set takes effect in the folder, and about 4 levels navigation inside. Like

/myrep

/folder1

/sub2

/sub3

However, when I navigate deeper, like /myrep/folder1/sub2/sub3/sub4/, the layout disappeared.

So can I set how many levels the layout set can take effect?

Thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray

If u want the layout to be present through out the folder u can create an OTH and apply it to the folder at the root level. This will force the folders to have a particular layout rather than a admin layout...

Hi BP,

Thanks for help, but how to create an OTH... I haven't touched OTH before.

U can create a sample OTH like the

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

- <ObjectTypeHandler Name="ray" Class="com.sapportals.wcm.service.objecttypehandler.GenericObjectTypeHandler">

- <SelectionCriteria>

- <Paths>

<Path>/documents/Public Documents/Ray1/**</Path>

<Path>/documents/Public Documents/Ray2/</Path>

</Paths>

</SelectionCriteria>

- <Properties>

<Property Key="rndLayoutSet" Value="ray_AdminExplorer" />

</Properties>

<Actions />

</ObjectTypeHandler>

Hi,

did you check, that the suubfolder had no personalization itself?

If you go into the presentation settings of the subfolder and restore the system default, the layout assigned at the top folder should appear.

If not create a ticket at SAP support.

Hi Sascha,

Thanks for help.

To summarize, the problem is, custom layout may disappear after browsing several levels. The "several" can be 1, or 20.

But the layout may come back if next time you reassign the layout for that repository.

In mess...

Thanks,

Ray
