8.3 Moving a Page

If you want to reposition a page within your portal’s page hierarchy, you can move a page to a different location within its page group. Moving a page is an efficient way to move many pages at once because moving a page also moves all of its sub-pages. Before you can move a page, all items in that page and any of its sub-pages must be unlocked. For example, if an item on a page or any of its sub-pages is locked by a WebDAV client or is checked out by another user, you must wait until these items are unlocked or checked in before you can move the page. To move a page: 1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

owns the page to be moved. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

heading. This takes you to the Portal Navigator. If necessary, drill down the page hierarchy by clicking the Sub-pages link to locate the page you will move. 5. When you reach the page to be moved, click the Move link next to the page. A secondary window opens and displays a map of the relevant page group.

6. In the Page Group Map, click the Move Here link next to the target page.

You must have at least the page privilege Manage on the target page. The target page is the page under which the page being moved is placed. Clicking the Move Here link sends the message, Place the page I am moving immediately under this page in the page hierarchy.

8.5 Placing One Page Onto Another

Oracle Portal provides ways to place one page onto another: ■ Publish the page as a portlet ■ Display the page through the Page portlet When you publish a page as a portlet, it is accessible from the Portlet Repository where it can be selected for placement on other portal pages. When you use the portlet named Page, you can display any page—even one that has not been published as a portlet. Both of these are ways to share content on multiple pages simultaneously while having only one page to maintain. This section describes how to publish a page as a portlet and display a page through the Page portlet. It contains the following subsections: ■ Section 8.5.1, Publishing a Page as a Portlet ■ Section 8.5.2, Displaying a Page Through the Page Portlet ■ Section 8.5.3, Selecting Page Portlet Regions for Display

8.5.1 Publishing a Page as a Portlet

Publishing a page as a portlet makes it accessible from the Portlet Repository, where it can be selected for placement on other portal pages. In default portal installations, you can find pages published as portlets under the Published Portal Content node of the Portlet Repository. Note: All of this page’s sub-pages are also deleted. Separate confirmations for sub-pages are not displayed. When a page that is the target of a URL-based item, such as the URL or the Page Link item type, is deleted, be sure to also delete or revise the target specified for the item. Otherwise, users will likely see either an error message or a target they had not anticipated.
