Create a custom launch page
You can configure an authoring portlet to use a launch page of own design instead of the default user interface.
A custom launch page can either be a JSP or HTML file. You use remote actions to call different views and functions from with the authoring portlet's user interface. You can also use the web content API to add other functions to launch page. Once you have created a custom launch page, you then configure authoring portlet to use the custom launch page instead of the default authoring portlet user interface.
Storing JSP Files:
JSP files can be located:
- within the WP_PROFILE/installedApps/cellname/PA_WCM_Authoring_UI.ear/ilwwcm-authoring.war/jsp/html directory of server where cellname is unique to installation.
- within any other web application running on portal. When referencing JSP files in another web application, use the following path: contextPath;jspPath
For example: /wps/customapplication;/jsp/editor.jsp
A custom launch page example
This is a simple example of some code you can add to a JSP or HTML file, to allow users to create and view content items using remote actions.
<%--
/* Sample Launch Page */
--%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/wcm.tld" prefix="wcm" %>
<%--
/* Add username and password here */
--%>
<wcm:initworkspace username="wpsadmin" password="wpsadmin" >
An error occurred initializing the WCM workspace:
<%=error%>
</wcm:initworkspace>
<%--
/* Setup context here */
--%>
<wcm:setExplicitContext wcmWebAppPath="http://localhost:10039/wps/wcm" wcmServletPath="/myconnect" path="Web Content/Articles/Sample Article" >
An error occurred setting the WCM context:
<%=error%>
</wcm:setExplicitContext>
<div>
<div>
<a href='<wcm:plugin name="RemoteAction" action="new" type="com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Content"/>'>New Content</a>
</div>
<div>
<a href='<wcm:plugin name="RemoteAction" view="contentbytitle" action="openmainview"/>'>View Content by Title</a>
</div>
<div>
<a href='<wcm:plugin name="RemoteAction" view="contentbysitearea" action="openmainview"/>'>View Content by Site Area</a>
</div>
</div>
Reloading JSP files:
JSP files that are stored in the PA_WCM_Authoring_UI application are not reloaded, even if they are updated. You must restart the server, or put the JSP in a separate web application that is configured to reload JSP files, in order for changes you make to the JSP to be displayed.
