We can configure an authoring portlet to use a launch page of our own design instead of the default user interface.

A custom launch page can either be a JSP or HTML file. It must be stored in the WAR file directory for the Authoring portlet:

portal_server_root/installedApps/WCM_Authoring_UI_PA_xxx.ear/PA_xxx.war/jsp/html

...where xxx is unique to the installation.

Use remote actions to call different views and functions from with the authoring portlet's user interface. We can also use the IWWCM API to add other functions to the launch page.

Once you have created a custom launch page, you then configure the authoring portlet to use the custom launch page instead of the default uthoring portlet user interface.

 

A custom "create and view content" launch page

This is a simple example of a table that we can add to a JSP or HTML file to allow users to create and view content items using remote actions.

<table>
<tr><td>
<a href="?wcmAuthoringAction=new&type=com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Content">
Create new Content</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<a href="?wcmAuthoringAction=openmainview&view=contentbytitle">
Open content by title</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<a href="?wcmAuthoringAction=openmainview&view=contentbysitearea">
Open content by site area</a>
</td></tr>
</table>
