Create a custom launch page
You can configure an authoring portlet to use a launch page of a 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_xxxxxxx.ear/PA_xxxxxxx.war/jsp/html, where xxxxxxx is unique to your installation.
You use remote actions to call different views and functions from with the authoring portlet's user interface. See Using remote actions for further information. You can also use the IBM Workplace Web Content Management API to add other functions to your launch page. See The IBM Workplace Web Content Management API for further information.
Once you have created a custom launch page, you then configure your authoring portlet to use the custom launch page instead of the default authoring portlet user interface. See Defining user interface options for further information.
A custom "create and view content" launch page
This is a simple example of a table that you 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>
