Hi,

We have a Web Publisher site with various classes of diagram, mainly accessed via list-style reports.  The home page is a specific diagram.

The site is frame-based, with the left-hand side allowing access to the lists (or you can toggle the frame into the explorer-style tree).

I want one of the links on the left-hand side to bring up a specific diagram - NB this is not the same diagram as the home page.  This specific diagram is also to be accessible via a "list"-style report.

How can I do this?

I've tried adding a report to the "Start The Website With This Report" part of the "Specify Reports" tab of Web Publisher.  This report is set to only "Include" the diagram I want.  When I run the site generation, however, I don't then know what the name of the single diagram report is.

I know I can create a link to the single diagram as might be accessible from the "list"-style report, but this has a name like "genericreports_diagramreport_46642.htm" and I'm not convinced that this is a stable filename - ie I'd have to manually fix it each time we regenerate the site.

I hope this makes sense!  Any help much appreciated.

Hi Jeremy,

I have the same requirement.
Did you find a way to do it?
Thanks.

What we've actually done is to create an Explorer diagram with links to the specific diagrams and used it as the home page. It's got a natty JPG on it, and it doesn't look too bad at all. This allows users of the site to jump from the home page straight into our Business Architecture models (a business function diagram that decomposes into process hierarchies), into the enterprise data model, into the application topology or into the technical reference model.

FWIW - as diagrams like our enterprise data model are pretty large, we've also removed the frames from the site and written our own site navigation pop-up. Having no frames saves on screen real estate.

I also found out that the filename generated by WebPublisher is stable from one website generation to the next.

The filename is based on the DDID. Since we realised this we have wondered about replacing our single mega html gen with several smaller ones but have never had a serious enough need to start testing.

I don't know if this still happens but we found in earlier releases that if you used the Import function to replace a definition wiht something from an off-line source such as a spreadsheet then it would delete the old definition and create a new one with a different DDID.
