Scripting for static pages
We can work with static portal pages using the Portal Scripting Interface, which enables us to use administration function through the Jacl scripting language.
Including a static page in the portal
To include a static page in the portal, use the following JACL command:
$Content create staticpage title markup compressedfilename filename [displayoption] [select]
Example: $Content create staticpage MyStaticPageTitle html c:/tmp/StaticContentPage.zip hcl294.html inline select
This creates a static page underneath the currently selected content node for the html markup with the page title MyStaticPageTitle. The content of the page is read from the file c:/tmp/StaticContentPage.zip, and the entry point for the page display is read from the file hcl294.html, which needs to be contained in the compressed file. To specify the display method, we can use the optional parameter displayoption. It takes one of the values inline, iframe, or ajax. The default value is inline. To make the newly created static page the currently selected content node, use the optional parameter select
Get the static page content as a compressed file
To get a static page content in the format of a compressed file, use the following JACL command:
$Content pageget oid markup compressedfilename
Example: $Content pageget 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 html c:/tmp/MyStaticContentPage.zip
This writes the content of the specified static page to the compressed file c:/tmp/MyStaticContentPage.zip.
Set the static page content by specifying a compressed filename
To set the static page content by specifying a compressed filename, use the following JACL command:
$Content pageset oid markup compressedfilename filename
Example: $Content pageset 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 html c:/tmp/NewStaticContentPage.zip hcl294.html
This updates the specified static page content with the content of the compressed file c:/tmp/NewStaticContentPage.zip. The entry point for the page display is read from the file hcl294.html. This file needs to be contained in the compressed file.
Getting attributes of a static page
To get attributes of a static page, use the following command:
$Content get oid attribute markupValid attributes are as follows:
- filename
- Use this attribute for getting the file name of the static page layout file in the compressed file.
- displayoption
- Use this attribute for the markup, for example HTML.
Example: $Content get 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 filename html
This returns the filename of the entry point for the page display, that is hcl294.html for the specified markup.
Set attributes of a static page
To set attributes for a static page, use the following command:
$Content set oid attribute value markupValid attributes are as follows:
- filename. Use this attribute for getting the file name of the static page layout file in the compressed file.
- displayoption. Use this attribute for the markup, for example HTML.
Example 1: $Content set 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 filename anotherhcl294.html html
This sets the entry point for the page display to anotherhcl294.html for the specified markup.
Example 2: $Content set 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 displayoption iframe html
This sets the display option to iframe for the specified markup. Valid display option settings are inline, iframe, and ajax.
Delete a static page
The command for deleting a static page is the same as for deleting a standard portal page. We can use the command: $Content delete oid
To delete a static page, use the following command:
Example: $Content delete 6_CGAH47L00G2N802TJFV58Q3000 Related information
