I have a requirement to add a new button to a List Applet with the caption 'TEST'. I have added a new control to the specific list applet with HTML Type 'MiniButton' and Caption as 'TEST'. The button displayed as follows. what could be the reason for this and how to correct it?
Have you check the location where you added the button in the list applet? If you add the control to the specific control location like "new","query" they might appear odd. Check also the button's property "HTML Bitmap" - it should be empty.
As Pirkka mentioned, with post-IP17 Siebel the applet "edit weblayoyut" is only in WebTools and it doesn't work well. If you are using this version of Siebel, you might want to remove check the applet webtemplate item and ensure the SEQUENCE number assigned to it is correct. Just edit it in that list reference. My experience with the latest Siebel versions is that just adding the applet webtemplate item record directly is the best approach.
Check the underlying webtemplate that is used for your applet. Make sure that the sequence number assigned at the applet webtemplate item level for your control is actually corresponding to a control section in the underlying list applet webtemplate.
Is the applet and/or webtemplate custom? If it is OOTB, can you share the names?

I have a list applet with a drilldown in one of the columns, and I want to enable or disable it based on another field's value. Something like a dynamic drilldown, but instead of choosing a different view, I want to disable the navigation for some of the records.
Can this be done in Siebel 7.8?
Ideally without server scripting... and definitely without ugly browser scripting hacks, please.
I have tried creating a dynamic drilldown, but it doesn't work because I have to specify a target view in my parent default drilldown. If I use an inactive view for that, then the whole dynamic drilldown is ignored and Siebel simply uses the one with the next sequence number.
I can think of a couple of ways to implement it, but both are far from ideal:
Writing some server script to detect the drilldown event before it happens, and abort it if needed with a RaiseErrorText message. It should be doable... but I'd rather disable the drilldown than throw an ugly error to my users.
Placing the drilldown in a calculated field, and make it have no text when there should be no navigation. If there is no text, there is nothing the users can click to drilldown, right? But I would have to add a new column just for the drilldown, which would be confusing for the users.
If you don't want any scripting. There are 2 ways.
First way is using toggle applet.
1.Main Applet will have the drill down down object. And Toggle applet will not have the drill down objects.
2.Create a field in the BC to use it in the Toggle Applet condition .Toggle Applet will be displayed when the drilldown is not required.
Second way you can achieve it is through visibility Type attribute in the drilldown object as well as visibility Applet Type attribue at the view level.
I have added Ribbon to an existing MFC application.
The ribbon is created using the Editor.
In one of the panel I have a Custom CMFCRibbonGallery (derived from) whose contents (icon) I change dynamically. (It is much like the Styles Gallery in Excel.
After every time I change the contents I call ForceRecalcLayout which most of the time results in an Assert usually on m_pHighlighted or m_pPressed. Please see the attached snaphot1.jpeg, this Assert happened while I was moving the mouse over the Ribbon Gallery elements (Expanded mode popup) while ForceRecalcLayout was called.
On a different use case if I add the Sub Item (like we have "New Cell Style" in Styles Gallery of Excel) to the QAT using the context menu and then try to create a New cell style I get an Assert on the CMFCRibbonButton. Refer snapshot2.jpg
When just the icon changes it is sufficient to invalidate the ribbon.
Only if the size of the individual items are changed you Need to call RecalcLayout.
I see no reason to call ForceRecalsLayout.
I'm creating localizations--in Spanish and Chinese--for a Sitecore site. The original language is English. I've learned how to create my language-specific versions of pages. But I don't know how to change the names of the the navigation items themselves. When I preview my pages in Spanish (http://content.example.com/?sc_lang=es), for example, the page content is in Spanish, but the navigation items themselves (e.g. Home, About, Products, etc.) are still in English. Where in the Content or Page editors do I fix that?
You need to modify the "display name" of the item in the Home ribbon. Be aware that this also affects the url of the item For the chosen language.
Edit: maybe I was too quick with my answer, I probably overread something cause my suggestion changes the Url (if you have the setting "useDisplayName=true" like jammykam corrected) and the name of the item in the content tree for the specific language.
If your the names displayed in the navigation is based on the Item names, then can do as I suggested, change the display item's name for the current language and make the code look at the display name inestead of the item name.
Another option is to use a separate field for the menu-title in case you want your titles to differ from your url's.
When you say the navigation items themselves are in still in English, what do you mean? As in, the menu running along the top of the page?
If so, then you need to figure out where in the content tree those items are and then add in the relevant language versions/translations, and make sure they are not "shared" content.
#Martijn, I believe it only affects the URL is you set "useDisplayName=true" in the linkManager setting in config.
We usually add a field called MenuTitle to the base content template and then instruct our navigation controls to read from that field
For menus, we generally use a different field for the page's title and the page's navigation title. This allows for a shorter version to be specified by the author for the menu.
Once you have that, you just need to make sure you build code in your header control to find the target item of the menu link (I assume it's a general link, or some other Item reference) and pull the target item's navigation title.
When the code does this, it should automatically pull the version of that target item based on the current language, which will mean you will get your navigation title in the correct language.
I have a layout with two place holders leftColumn and rightColumn. For an item i am adding multiple sublayouts for leftcolumn and multiple sublayouts for rightcolumn. Now in page editor when i am trying to change position using "Change Position" button in toolbar and move content to another location, content is getting moved to my new location as desired. But when i click Save button on Ribbon, it is actually deleting moved content from presentation itself.
I am not sure why it is behaving like this. we are using Sitecore 6.4
We opened a ticket with Sitecore and found out that this is an existing bug. They do not support movement of multiple controls/sublayouts within same placeholder on layout using PageEditor. We need to use multiple placeholder on layout and then we can change position of controls from one placeholder to another one.
Can you see anything through Sitecore Logs? It may have any errors or exceptions that are being generated.
All of my Content Items in one node have a bad reference to a workflow. I am trying to create one to replace the missing Workflow. I did these steps:
Created a new workflow
Located the common inherited template that all content items in this node use.
In the standard values I chose my new workflow for the "Workflow" and "Default Workflow" fields (I think I just need default, but I am not sure.)
Saved and Smart Published.
The content items still show the GUID for the missing Workflow. I click the template name at the top of the content item, double check the standard values on the template and everything looks great.
How do I force Content Items to retrieve the correct workflow from their Templates?
It looks like your content items have broken from their standard values which is why your new standard value WF is not getting set. What version of Sitecore are you using? You can use the reset button on each content item to bring it back to the standard value just for the workflow.
Go to the View ribbon and enable Standard Fields
For each content item that has the wrong workflow, go to the Versions ribbon and click the Reset button on the left
In the pop-up scroll all the way down to the bottom Workflow section and check the boxes to reset specific fields
Repeat this process for all of the content items
Another idea is to write code to programatically reset fields or set them to a new WF
