Launching 7.02 portal in "full screen" mode

[ChrisPaine]

Hello,

Sorry if this is very obvious, I've had a bit of a search but couldn't find anything.

As many of you may be aware, in the 7.02 version (and I'm sure some other 7.2/7.3 versions (I don't know I don't use them)) there is the possibility for a user to collapse the top level navigation pane away.

I'd love to be able launch a portal page, retaining the breadcrumb navigation (also a 7.02 feature I think) and "Forward" "Back" and "History" functionality. It seems to me that the only way I could do this would be to create my own framework page (like the headerless framework used when using .../irj/portal/?NavigationTarget=<escaped pcd>&NavMode=3 to do a direct link to a portal page).

I'm wondering if there is some sort of simple way that I could call a URL to start the portal for a user with the portal top-level navigation in a pre-collapsed state?

Some undocumented (or preferably documented, but so far unfound) method would be very helpful, as building my own framework page could be a little beyond the timeframe I have available.

Many thanks for your help and suggestions,

Cheers,

Chris

Chris,

the new full screen option is done by the Javascript: AFPPageToolbar.toggleFullScreen(); (also new). You can put the code in a PAR that gets loaded together with the page to switch to full screen.

Thanks All,

Yes - it was that little bit of JavaScript that I needed. It wasn't that I needed to hide the button from the framework page - more just call its functionality to hide the top level navs.

Would be nice to have this as more "standard" functionality - more and more I'm seeing companies reject the standard portal top level nav and want to create their own.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out here, very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris, can you please tell me which is the WAR that you have modified? I have to do the same thing you did, but I don´t know where to put the JavaScript function.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
