Set side navigation for a page

We can set the side navigation template for a specific page.

  1. Log on to the portal.

  2. Export the page where to apply the side navigation template.

    We can export the page using xmlaccess or using the Manage Pages portlet.

  3. Add the page metadata key com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.html with a value...

      <![CDATA[theme_sidenav.html]]>

    ...to the exported XML. For example:

    <content-node action="update" content-parentref="wp.example.parent" active="true" objectid="wp.example.id" uniquename="wp.example">
         ...
         <parameter name="com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.html" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[theme_sidenav.html]]>
         </parameter>
       ...
    </content-node>

  4. Save the new page XML file.

  5. Import the XML file using the command line or the Import XML portlet.

  6. We can now navigate to the page and it is now rendered as a side navigation.
