Creating a static page

Create a new portal page from static HTML content.

To create a page based on the HTML:

1. Click Launch > Administration > Manage Pages.
2. Click Content Root.
3. Click Home, or navigate to another section of the portal were you want to create a new page.
4. Click New Page.
5. Enter the page title.
6. Click the plus sign next to Type of Page to expand that section.
7. Click the drop-down menu and select Static Content.
8. Click Set page layout properties.
9. Select the type of markup used in the file that is the source for the new page:

   • HTML: standard HTML markup and layout. This is the default
   • WML: Wireless Markup Language
   • cHTML: Compact HTML
   Note: For more information about the types of markup, refer to Markup guidelines.
10. In the Static Page Layout File field, enter the file name of the HTML file that will be used to create the content. For example, index.html
11. Next to the ZIP or HTML File Location field, click the Browse button, or type a file path.

    • File path: enter the full path to the file that will be used to create the new page. This can be a zip file with the HTML and related files, or it can be a single HTML file.
    • Browse: use the file selection window to navigate to the zip file, or HTML file, that contains the content that will be used to create the page. In addition to the HTML file that is specified as the Static Page Layout File, the zip can contain other supporting files that are referenced by the HTML, such as graphics (GIF, JPG) or a style sheet to format the HTML content (CSS).
12. If all the HTML markup needed to create the page is available in the HTML file, and any supporting files are in the zip, then you can accept the default value of Included Markup for the setting Portlet window display option. If the HTML source references AJAX scripts, or includes iFrame code, then click on the drop-down menu and select AJAX or iFrame.
13. Click OK to create the new page.

A page can be rendered from an HTML source that has content in a language other than English. To set the correct language locale for the portal page, change the file name to reflect the locale. For example, the letters de represent German, so the name of the HTML source file for a German page is index_de.html. When viewing the rendered page, your browser must be set to the correct locale.
