You can target users with personalized content and campaigns in the header or footer or your portal desktops. This lets users see personalized content continuously regardless of the page being viewed in the desktop.
To Add Personalization to a Desktop Header or Footer
With the flexibility of the WebLogic Portal framework, your portal can contain multiple shells that each implement different personalization JSPs in the headers and footers. Then, when a portal administrator or end user changes a portal's shell, they can see a different type of personalization.
If you modify a shell, all portals that use that shell are automatically updated.
Note: Do not add business logic to skeleton header or footer JSP files. Skeletons are for physical portal rendering only and are not meant to contain business logic.
The Sample Portal Header-Footer Visitor Shell, located in <BEA_HOME>\<WEBLOGIC_HOME>\samples\portal\portalApp\sampleportal\framework\markup\shell\headerFooterVisitor.shell and used as the default shell in the \sampleportal\sample.portal file, references a JSP that displays header content for Avitek Inweb.
