What is Multi-site?

Generally speaking, multi-site is a feature that allows for the sharing of web application resources among several websites on a single software installation and provides "easy-to-use" facilities for the creation, management, and maintenance of multiple websites.

Is Multi-site right for me?

Does your organization require the ability to launch new websites quickly?

Is your organization comprised of distinct brands with their own web identity and possibly web/IT staff?

Is business booming and now you need a site dedicated to incoming...

No Content Server Explorer for Mac OS? No Problem!

After years of owning a PC and taking my environment setup for granted, I landed with a Mac OS that has proven to be a bit of a challenge when it comes to spinning up the 11g JSK. Among the drawbacks is the lack of a Content Server Explorer (CS-Explorer) as the JSK stores it as an executable.

The lack of a Mac installer for the explorer within the JSK is not drastic. Technically, miracles can happen - or close enough - when you have an Intel processor and the help of a third-party tool. However, today I have decided to take a completely different route. Come to think of it, the...

Simplify Your WCS Controllers With Your Own Asset Reader

Oracle WebCenter Sites 12c introduced the new Asset Reader API. While you may not be ready to use it in your code - maybe your existing DAOs are working just fine or perhaps for performance reasons - you might be thinking: "Wouldn't it be nice if my controller code was this short and simple?" With a few simple code...

The Universality of Devices

Posted by N'Dèye Gnagna Marianne on Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - 09:59 Best Practices, Development, Function1, Web Experience Management WCS, sites, WebCenter Sites, device, device group, Vanity URL

Device detection is handled smartly within Oracle WebCenter Sites, but unfortunately there is no clear wiggle room if one wants to not follow Oracle’s recommendation when it comes to mobile support. The platform sniffs out if you are on a desktop or any other mobile device listed in the Device Repository (simple xml file that contains properties for each device that an application wants to differentiate upon). You might think: “Amazing! And WCS already has a file listing relevant default/common devices! I have less work to do.” For a few minutes, you are as happy can be. Until you load...

Before You Begin

This blog assumes that you're familiar with Oracle JET, its custom modules, and overriding the default path/suffix configuration for JET modules so that you can include them as assets in your WebCenter Sites implementation. Otherwise, you may want to begin by reading this blog: Creating Oracle JET Modules as Assets in Oracle WebCenter Sites.

Overview

WCS 11g’s Admin and Contributor UIs are built with a version of Dojo that does...

Oracle WebCenter Sites and Siteminder

We are far from the days when logging in was as easily implemented as a username, password, and cgi script in between your user’s anonymous and logged-in states. Today’s world is ruled by powerful web access management softwares that not only securely keep intruders from accessing your most secure pages but also allows for a user management system hooked up to your LDAP environment. Among them: HP’s IceWall SSO, IAM (Identity and Access Management), and CA Siteminder. Let’s focus on the latter.

Per their website, CA Siteminder promises to...

A Complete Guide to Understanding the Splunk Add-on Builder

In this post, we'll walk through the ins and outs of the Splunk Add-on Builder. Not only does the Splunk Add-on Builder help users avoid common pitfalls during app development, it also validates apps according to best practices and app certification standards.

On the app homepage, you'll see every add-on created using the Splunk Add-on Builder, along with those already installed on the instance. An Add-on Builder project is an editable add-on along with its meta data. Beyond editing capabilities, you're also able to export projects for use with other instances of Add-on Builder....

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For…WebCenter Sites 11g and Lucene Search

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For…WebCenter Sites 11g and Lucene Search

Out-of-the-box Oracle WebCenter Sites utilizes Apache Lucene as its third-party search engine. Lucene is a Java based full-text search engine that is capable of powering applications requiring search. This integration powers the Contributor Interface as well as the Public Site search. Although it's built-in, Lucene requires some setup before it can be truly functional. This allows WCS users to customize the search functionality, allowing for a truly custom fit for your organization....

Using C3.js to Create a Custom Visualization in Splunk

Posted by Anshu Rastogi on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 - 10:13 Development, Operational Intelligence Splunk, c3, data visualization, D3, chart, custom

Introduction

Data visualizations in Splunk are an extremely powerful way to analyze and derive value from the mountains of data collected every day. Today, I’d like to cover how to create a custom visualization in Splunk using the C3.js library, which is built on top of the extremely popular and powerful D3.js data visualization library. One of the advantages of using C3 is that the syntax is somewhat simpler to use than D3. While “D3” stands for “Data-drive Documents,” “C3” stands for “Comfortable,...

Implementing CKEditor Customizations in Oracle WebCenter Sites 12c

Posted by Somen De on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 - 10:57 Development, Web Experience Management CKeditor, sites, Oracle, customization, 12c, WebCenter Sites

As many WebCenter Sites developers already know, the flexibility of the CKEditor attribute editor allows us to apply customizations to it. Actually, implementing these customizations isn't always the easiest task. For the newest 12c version, Oracle's official documentation can, unfortunately, be quite confusing.

To help clarify how to implement CKEditor customizations in 12c, this blog will outline simple instructions on how to customize the CKEditor toolbar.

Say for instance that we have an attribute called "Abstract," and it needs a basic, simplified CKEditor as its...
