Click the Actions icon on the tab to be deleted

Working with Layouts 10-39 How do I get new regions to have exactly the same configuration as the region it was created from? In most cases, a new region defaults to an undefined region. Change the region to the same type as the region that it was created from, and it will have the same property values and attributes or HTML content layout template selection as specified for the original region. I want to add content to a region but get the message: Content cannot be added to this region because the region type is undefined The region comes from a Portal Template, where the region type is not defined. Either define the region types on the applied Portal Template see Section 12.2.1.3, Editing Portal Templates for Pages , or detach the page from the template see Section 12.2.1.4, Detaching a Portal Template from a Page . Why can’t I add content to a region? You may not have sufficient privileges to add content. You must have at least the page or tab privilege Manage Content or Manage Items with Approval on the page or on the tab that contains the region. If the page is based on a Portal Template, and the template region is locked, no one can add content to the region, unless they do so through a WebDAV client. If the default item region in a template is set not to allow users to add content, this setting is ignored by WebDAV when adding content to pages that are based on the template. To unlock a region: 1. Open the page or Portal Template in Edit mode, and edit the region.

2. Select Enable Users To Included Content In This Region.

3. Click OK to save your changes and return to the page or Portal Template.

I’ve locked a region, but users can still add content to it. Region locking by deselecting Enable Users To Included Content In This Region on a region is a way to limit the types of actions users can perform on a region. How it works differs between page regions and template regions. Once you lock a page region, when users personalize the page they cannot add content to the region or hide, show, delete, or move existing content. When users edit the page, they can still add, hide, show, delete, and move content. When you lock a Portal Template region, no user can change the region content on pages that are based on the template. When users edit or personalize a page that is based on a template with locked regions, they will not be able to add content to the region, or hide, show, delete, or move existing content. My page is not displaying all of my items. An instance where content can be truncated on a portal page is when the containing region allows for a limited number of rows and columns. For example, if a page has eight items and the containing region is set for two columns and three rows, only six of the items display. The remaining two are truncated. These truncated items display once the region column or row allowances are expanded. For more information, see Section 10.2.5, Changing the Number of Columns and Rows in a Region . 10-40 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal I specified a region to be a particular width, but when I add content, the region is wider. Region widths and heights never cause content to truncate. No matter what values you set, regions always expand to accommodate content. If exacting region proportions matter to your portal, you must size content to fit your regions. If you cannot immediately see why the page content is expanding the width of the region, it might be helpful to look at the page source. I’m creating a translation in a language that reads left to right. How can I configure my page to accommodate this? Edit your page regions’ item alignment options. Item region alignment options include the values Start and End. Start and End work in conjunction with portals using bidirectional languages. For languages reading right to left, Start aligns items right and End aligns items left. For languages reading left to right, Start aligns items left and End aligns items right. Tab regions also include the Start and End alignment options. The Display Name I entered for a tab is not displaying on the tab. Are you using you own tab images, rather than those supplied by Oracle Portal? When you use your own tab images, the images themselves must include the text you want to display. In such cases, the Display Name you enter for the tab in tab properties is uses as the tab’s Alt text. It displays when users move their mouse pointers over the tab. I uploaded an image, and set Item Icon Height and Width values for the region, but this had no effect on the image. Item Icon Height and Width values do not affect image items, but rather Image attributes. That is, they apply to images uploaded in support of the item rather than images used as the item’s main content. For example, when you upload a file item, you have the option of providing a value for the file item’s Image attribute. This is the type of image that is affected by a region’s Item Icon Height and Width properties. The base item type Image, does not include the Image attribute. Though you could create a custom item type based on the Base Image item type, and include an Image attribute with that. When I add a tab to a region, it aligns Center, but when I edit the tab region, its alignment option is set to Left. Additionally, Center is not on the list of tab alignment options. When you add a tab to a center-aligned region, the tab is initially centered—even though Center is not a tab alignment option. To change the alignment of the tab, edit the tab region, select an alignment option, and click OK. If Left is already selected, though the tab is displaying Center, clicking OK will reset the tab alignment to Left. You may note that when you edit the tab region, left-alignment is already selected for the region. Nonetheless, the tab does not initially display left-aligned because it has taken its defaults from the region from which it was created. I cannot delete a tabregion from my Portal Template. You can delete tabs and regions from Portal Templates only if no users have added content to the tab or region on pages that are based on the template. This is to prevent users without the appropriate privileges from managing content.
