You can organize the information on your portal desktop by adding books and pages. Each book and page has its own link or tab to access it.
For example, you could add the following to your Portal:
You can also rearrange and delete books and pages and enable book editing for users.
This topic contains the following sections:
The books and pages you add to your portal in the Portal Designer become part of the .portal template that portal administrators can use to create portal desktops in the WebLogic Administration Portal.
You can change the order of books and pages. For example, if the main page book contains a page and a book in the following order:
Home Page | My Book
you can change the order to:
My Book | Home Page
To change the order of books and pages, right-click the book or page you want to move in the Document Structure window, and choose Move Up or Move Down. The book or page moves up or down in the Document Structure window, and the horizontal reordering occurs in the Portal Designer.
Rearranging books and pages does not rearrange them in any portal desktops you have created with the WebLogic Administration Portal. See the WebLogic Administration Portal online help system for instructions on rearranging those books and pages.
To delete books and pages from a .portal file, right-click the book or page you want to delete in the Document Structure window and choose Remove Page for a page or Remove > This Book for a book. You can also delete a book's sub-books and pages by right-clicking the book and choosing Remove > <book/page name>.
Deleting books and pages does not delete them from any portal desktops you have created with the WebLogic Administration Portal. See the WebLogic Administration Portal online help system for instructions on deleting those books and pages.
You can create a JSP to let users modify book properties and let users access that edit JSP from a book.
When the desktop is rendered, the skeleton puts an edit icon in the table row of the menu or active book. When a user clicks the edit icon (activate), the edit page appears and the edit icon changes to a deactivate icon.
The names of the activate and deactivate icon graphics are registered in the project's WEB-INF/netuix-config.xml file under the <window-mode name="edit"> entry. The actual graphics are stored in the skin's /images subdirectory.
See Portal Samples for instructions on viewing a sample portal file.
