10.3.8 Deleting Tabs

The task of deleting a tab is straightforward and simple; however, there are a few things to consider before you proceed. When you delete a tab that includes content, the content is deleted along with the tab. There is no opportunity to move the content during the delete operation. Be sure to move any content you want to keep before you delete a tab. Additionally, if the tab is derived from a template, you can delete the tab only if you also have delete content privileges on all the tabs on pages that are based on the template. This is to prevent users without the appropriate privileges from managing content. You can delete one tab at a time or multiple tabs at once. This section describes how to do both. It contains the following subsections: ■ Section 10.3.8.1, Deleting One Tab ■ Section 10.3.8.2, Deleting Multiple Tabs Simultaneously

10.4 Troubleshooting Regions and Tabs

The Browse Users icon does not display on the Access tab The portal administrator may have run the script serlacl.sql to enforce role-based security. Role-based security limits privilege grantees to groups; individual users cannot be granted privileges. The script does not affect privileges granted to users before it was run, only after. Once this script is run, the Browse Users icon does not display next to the Grantee field on Access tabs. Additionally, the Privileges tab does not display on the Edit Portal User Profile page. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal. The Arrange Items icon does not display. The Sort By Item Display Option has been set to Title or Size. When a sorting option is selected, the Arrange Items icon no longer displays on the region in page Edit mode. If you have sufficient privileges, you can edit the region and select Default under Sort By in the Item Display Options. When Default is the Sort By option, privileged users and groups are free to rearrange items. Working with Layouts 10-37 I cannot apply styles to my regions; the Styles tab does not display on the Edit Region page. Is the region a portlet region? Portlet regions cannot have their own style. It might also be privilege-related. It is not enough to have the page privilege Manage, the page group option Allow Privileged Users to Manage Styles must also be selected for you to be able to change region styles. Ask your page group or portal administrator either to select this option for the page group, or to grant you a higher level of privilege, for example, the page group privilege Manage Styles. I granted a privilege to a user and clicked Apply, but the privilege was not granted. When you grant a privilege, before you click Apply or OK, you must first click Add next to the Grantee field. What controls are available for sub-page links regions? Sub-page links regions have controls at the page and region levels. At the page level, you can choose specific sub-pages to include or omit from display and you can select to display sub-page links alphabetically. These controls are on the Optional tab of page properties. For more information, see Section 7.9, Defining the Display of Sub-Page Links . At the region level, you can specify whether one or two levels of sub-pages display, provide a character to separate pages listed at the secondary sub-page level, select the attributes to display with each sub-page link, and choose the default or another icon that users click to navigate up the sub-page hierarchy. These controls are available when you edit a sub-page link region’s properties. For more information, see Section 10.2.7, Setting Sub-Page Links Region Properties . I want to publish a page as a portlet, but I don’t want every region on the source page to display. 1. Go to the page on which the page portlet is placed.

2. Click the page portlet’s Edit Defaults icon.

3. Select Display Selected Regions.

4. Check only those regions that should be displayed in the page portlet.

5. Click OK.

My page portlet is using the style of the target page rather than the style of its source page, as I have specified. Page portlets always take their header and border colors from the page on which they are placed. This is because the display of headers and borders is controlled on the target page, rather than from any values set for the source page’s style. One way around this is to edit the region in which the page portlet is placed and turn off the display of portlet headers and borders. If the page portlet contains its own portlets, you must also turn off the display of headers and borders for regions on the page portlet’s source page. For information on turning off region headers and borders, see Section 10.2.12, Displaying or Hiding Portlet Headers and Borders . Portlet background colors usually are specified by the style that is applied to the page on which the portlets are placed. With a page portlet, there is a way to display the source page’s background color. Edit the style that is applied to the page on which the
