UI related issues upon completion of the blog...?

[Former Member]

All who have gone throught the excellent BSP blog by Craig Cmehil: 'Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20.' I have completed this BSP Weblog but I have problem with my pages and how they appear in the browser. All pages have been generated successfully but when executing the BSP application (INDEX.HTM). I do not see any tabs on the INDEX page and after clicking the button I am linked to the FAQ page and also there no tabs available, but the FAQ tab. Any idea what can cause this problem since I do want to put this application into use and also debug it to understand the various dependecies. Thanks as always, Tiest

That is very strange, I've not come across that are there any dumps in ST22? Are all the proper service nodes activated? Can you load any of the tabstrip examples SBSPEXT_HTMLB and SBSPEXT_XHTMLB?

You don't have "Render as single line" selected do you?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes there are errors under ST22, an HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE under the SDN page but that is another issue, I am working on. Can you please explain me how to check these examples and where I can find whether or not I am rendering as single line? Thanks a lot, Tiest

Load the transaction se80 and then load the BSP Application "SBSPEXT_XHTMLB" and you will find all the examples there you can then double click one and hit F8 to do a test.

Other application is "SBSPEXT_HTMLB"

Craig, just getting that I am not authorized to view this page!? On my MiniWAS? Any additional suggestions? I really would like this to work. Tiest

What user are you logged in as? BCUSER?

Make a copy of the DDIC user and give your own name then try logging in with the new user. This is probably the problem the user you are using has no authority for these items - strange but possible.

Is the service (BSP) activated in SCIF tree?

Also uncheck the friendly HTTP error messages in internetoptions->advanced from your browser to get the exact error message.

The page is showing for him Raja just not with the tabs being rendered. Strange huh?

It could be the whole security thing if he can't load the examples but we'll know more here soon.

Thats strange!

But he also mentioned

Generally , you are not authorized to view this page! message comes up when the BSP application is not activated. Right?

Craig, Raja, there seemed to be an issue with the WAS, now after re-activating the pages do appear. But my initial tab issue is not solved yet. So back to the initial question; tests are successfull but blog application still does not show any tabs at all. Now what? Tiest

Typically then you get "Service is not activated" error or a short dump and it doesn't load at all.

The test pages show tabs? But what you coded does not?

Nowhere there are tabs?

Craig, on the FAQ page I can see a tab and I have modified the INDEX page to show an individual tab as well. But, how can I put this, as in your example seeing the INDEX tab and besides it the FAQ tab on the INDEX page is what I am missing. I can only see a tab when executing the actual page but no sign of any other tab. I think, I am missing some code here, any thoughts? Thanks, Tiest

Wait a second here.

The index page has no tabs.

The FAQ page has only 1 TAB.

We are running around in circles. My fault, I'm sorry the teaser pictures are what is causing the confusion!

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

I think so too, I have created a tab on the Index page now but what I am trying to figure out is, how to show e.g. all tree tabs on the Index page (like the Teaser picture). I am not sure how to enable to see multiple tabs on one page. I tried adding multiple xhtml:tabstrip items but I guess, I forgot one or more attributes. Can you show me what e.g. your code was for the INDEX page related to the tabstrips? I think that will show what to do to see more tabstrips. Thanks in advance, Tiest

For multiple tabs just use:

  <xhtmlb:tabStrip id = "details"
 brandingNotchVisible = "false"
 dropDownListVisible  = "true" >
    <xhtmlb:tabStripItem name  = "info1"
                         title = "General Info" >
Info 1
    </xhtmlb:tabStripItem>
    <xhtmlb:tabStripItem name  = "info2"
                         title = "General Info" >
Info 2
    </xhtmlb:tabStripItem>
</xhtmlb:tabStrip>

Craig, I figured that out but where do I store the logic? Where do I evaluate the tabstrips and determine the follow-up actions? And how? Thanks a lot, Tiest.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Basically in OnInputProcessing you can read the tabStrip item (examples SBSPEXT_XHTMLB) and then do a CASE statement for the tabstrip name then inside of the WHEN for the tabstrip name you do your processing. In theory the whole application could have been on one page but the purpose was to show all of the various possibilities.

As always many thanks. Have multiple tabs but now trying to get actual content on page. Will figure this out otherwise I will create a new thread. Tiest

Just let me know

That will also be in the next tutorial I'm working on
