Adding portlets to portal pages
You can insert portlets or portlet definitions (that you may have imported with your portal configuration) from your current workspace into any portal page.
For information on creating portlets, refer to Creating portlets.
To insert a portlet:
- Within the Portal Designer, right-click on a column within a portal page. From the pop-up menu, choose Insert Portlet > As Child. This activates the Insert Portlet dialog box.
- From the dialog box, choose a portlet; then click OK.
Portlets are always part of a portlet project, but are not necessarily part of a portal configuration. All portlets that are associated with the workspace will appear in the Insert Portlet dialog box.
If you choose to insert a portlet from a project other than the one you are editing, that portlet's definition will be included in this portal project.
Column Description 1. Portlets all portlets in this workspace 2. Projects name of the portal or portlet project that corresponds to the portlet in column 1.
Within the page, the portlet will be outlined by the default skin for this page. To specify the skin for this portlet, use the Properties view at the bottom of the screen.
Within Portal Designer, selecting JSF and Struts portlets in the Design page enables the Edit > Portlet menu, which allows you to open the initial JSP page with the Page Designer.
