Hello,

In NW7.1, I would like to create an iview which displays the content for e.g: Product information etc....Since KM is not yet available in this version, any pointers on how this could be achieved without programming?

Thank you and regards,

Dharmi

Hi,

you could simply host your content (e.g. product information on a server (e.g. html page with reference to pdf, etc.)

and than use an url iView to access this resource via portal. I guess this is the easiest way!

Server could also be your J2EE (e.g. place the information in a folder you can access from outside)

But this way you won't have any permission checks etc.

Is that what you are trying to achieve?

Hi Marcel,

Thank you for your reply.

You mean create a HTML page with PDF document and display this PDF / HTML page with the URL iView!

Can you please tell me how would the content administration be in this case?

Best regards,

Dharmi

Hi again,

yes I meant you have an URL iView that directs you to a start page of any content. The start page

could be a html page or jsp or whatever that links to PDFs with product information or it could link to other html pages with additional information.

In this case the Content Administration would be external since you are just linking your content into portal using URL iViews. You could use an external CMS System (e.g. Drupal or Joomla or other Open Source Tools or any commercial CMS) and the Content will then be administrated in the external CMS

Just an idea. Hope this helps

Hi,

"without doing it programmatically?"

means you do not want to develop anything right?

Can you tell me exactly what you are trying to achieve so I can think of some better solution that fits your needs and requirements.

Please take this into consideration when you post your reply:

If you want some people to administer Content you have to put it somewhere. This content then has to be integrated into Portal somehow.

Let me know

Hi Marcel,

Thanks again.

Yes that is right no development, use what is available form the Portal is the requirement.

I have worked with XML forms and EasyWCM Btexx but cannot use it in this scenario, since the version of CE doesn't have KM integrated.

Scenario in addition to mentioned above:

Anonymous User is presented with the portal page, with tabs on the TLN like that of Home, News, Our Clients and etc....

In the detailed navigation accordingly for Home menu there would be other menus like About us, Our Products and etc... this information can change...and on the bottom a login option for users.

In the News, there would be current news, events, archieve options which would change quite frequently, It should be easy for the content administrator to be able to change this info.

Please suggest.

Best regards,

Dharmi

Hi,

I think in this case all you can do is create serveral iviews that build your navigation structure (1 iview = 1 menu item e.g. about use etc.) The iViews link to an external CMS. Since you want the Content to be administrated you need a CMS. As I said if you do not want to develop you can use a ready to run CMS like Drupal. It is quite easy to maintain. The problem is just that Drupal is PHP based and maybe you are looking for something that is Java Based so you could deploy it on your J2EE.

Have a look at this site:

http://www.opensourcecms.com/

There are a bunch of opensource CMS Systems. Maybe you find one that fits your needs.

Hi Kumar,

We are using the NetWeaver Composite Environment (NW CE 7.1 SP6), in this version KM is not supported.

Scenario:

I would like to create an iView, which simply displays the product information say for e.g I have button / link called SAP on the detailed menu, on click of it I would like to have list of SAP products like SAP NW 2004, SAP NW 2004s and so on... And on click ok SAP NW 2004 on the content page it should display the features of the same.

Hope the above is clear

Best regards,

Dharmi
