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. 8-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal You can publish the following types of pages as portlets: ■ Navigation pages ■ Standard pages ■ Custom pages based on the Standard page type To publish a page as a portlet: 1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

7. In the Publish as Portlet section, select Publish As Portlet.

8. Select Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed, if you want the portlet to

use the style that is applied the target page rather than its own applied style. If you do not select this check box, the page portlet uses its own applied style see the following Note. An exception to this is when the source page is provided through the Federated Portal Adapter. In such cases, the setting to use the style of the containing page is ignored. The page portlet uses whatever style is applied to its source. 9. To use a heading for the portlet other than its source page’s display name, enter the heading in the Portlet Display Name field. Note: Regardless of whether a page portlet or navigation page uses its source pages style, once the page portlet or navigation page is placed on a page, its headers and borders always use the style of the target page. This is true even if you do not select the Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed option on the source page. If you do not care to use the target pages header and border colors on a page portlet or navigation page, you can turn off the display of headers and borders at the region level on the target page. If the page portlet or navigation page also contains its own portlets, you must also turn off the display of headers and borders for portlet regions on the source page. To ensure that a page portlet or navigation page uses its own background color, rather than the one specified for its host page: 1. Do not select the option Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed for the page or navigation page that you are publishing as a portlet. 2. In the style used by the target page, clear any value from the Portlet Body Color style element and click Apply. Performing Actions on Pages 8-9 By default, the page display name is displayed in the portlet header.

10. Click OK to save your changes and return to the page.

The portlet is published to the Portlet Repository. Use the Search feature in the repository to search for the portlet display name. You can also find it by clicking the Published Portal Content node, then the page group name to drill down through the repository to your new page portlet.
