Merging Several Folders

Hi!

Is it possible to merge several folders to one role or navigation structure in different levels? It tried the following but it doesn't work:


  Role A
  =====
    ROOT 
        ->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')
            ->Sub Folder B 
            ->Sub Folder C (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M2')

  Role B
  =====
    ROOT (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')
        ->Folder D 
    
  Role C
  =====
    ROOT (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M2')
        ->Folder E

The result in Portal should be...


    ->Folder A 
        ->Sub Folder B 
        ->Sub Folder C
            ->Sub Folder E
        ->Sub Folder D

The result is:


    ->Folder A 
        ->Sub Folder B 
        ->Sub Folder C
        ->Sub Folder D  
    ->Folder E 

I tried different settings with and without entry point, merging in other folders, but with no satisfying result.

Is there anyone with an idea?

It should be:

Role A
  =====
    ROOT 
        ->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')
            ->Sub Folder B 
            ->Sub Folder C (Merge ID 'M2')
 
  Role B
  =====
    ROOT
        ->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')
           ->Folder D 
    
  Role C
  =====
    ROOT
        ->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')
            ->Sub Folder C (Merge ID 'M2')
               ->Folder E

You must replicate the whole structure from the entry point. And never give different names to folders with the same merge id (like you did for ROOT and Folder A), there is no way of telling which one will show in the navigation.

That's it! Thanks a lot - this works fine!

Hi Timo Scharmann

To achive the desired structure you can make the change as following..

Role A

=====

ROOT

->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')

->Sub Folder B

->Sub Folder C (Merge ID 'M2')

Role B

=====

ROOT (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')

->Folder D

Role C

=====

ROOT(Entry Point)

->Folder C (Merge ID 'M2',)

->Sub Folder E ()

Try this option, hope this help

.

Cheers

Hi,

I haven't checked this. Pls check and let me know if it works. Logoff and login again to portal to validate the changes.

Role A

->Folder A (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')

->Sub Folder B

->Sub Folder C (Merge ID 'M2', merge priority:1)

Role B

->Folder D (Entry Point; Merge ID 'M1')

Role C (Merge ID 'M2', merge priority:2)

->Folder E (Entry Point)
