Publishing a Page as a Portlet

8-10 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal 10. On the resulting page, locate the page to display through the Page portlet, and click the Return Object link next to it. Drill down to a page by clicking the Expand icon next to the page’s parent page or page group.

11. Under Page Regions, select from:

■ Display All Regions , to display all the regions on the selected page. ■ Display Selected Regions , to display only those regions whose check box you select in the page model. When the page displayed through a Page portlet has sub-pages with different layouts, and you navigate to those pages through the Page portlet, the Display Selected Regions setting is ignored for the sub-pages. 12. To display an Edit link on the page that is displayed through the Page portlet, select the Display Edit Link check box. Displaying an Edit link enables privileged users to edit the page in place, that is, within the Page portlet. Changes made to the page through the Page portlet, are made simultaneously to the source page. For example, if you delete an item from the page through the Page portlet, the item is also deleted from the source page. Page portlets support View mode and minimal Edit mode. This means you can perform only a limited set of operations on the page when you edit it through the Page portlet. This also limits the various Edit mode views. For example, the Page portlet provides no Pending Items Preview edit mode. Consequently, users with the page privilege Manage Items With Approval cannot see items with the status Pending when they view the page through the Page portlet. Such users can edit the source page or add the My Approval Status portlet to the same page as the Page portlet. Users can use the My Approval Status portlet to track the progress of pending items. All the items that are not otherwise visible in the Page portlet are visible in the My Approval Status portlet until they are approved or published. For information on which users can view items in what state, see Section 17.9.3, Item URL Security .

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

Note: The Page portlet includes a parameter that, if used, requires a value in the format PAGEGROUPID_PAGEID. To make use of this on a regular container page, you must either: ■ Assign a constant value, such as 6_1, directly to the Page portlets parameter. ■ Create a page parameter mapped to the Page portlets parameter, then assign a value, such as 6_1, to the page parameter. To obtain values for PAGEGROUPID and PAGEID, enter page Edit mode and display page properties by clicking the Page Properties icon in the toolbar at the top of the page. When the Page parameter is specified, it overrides the page selection you made at step 10 or on the Personalize Page Portlet page. If the Page parameter is specified, any page you select when you Edit DefaultsPersonalize the Page portlet are ignored. Performing Actions on Pages 8-11

8.5.3 Selecting Page Portlet Regions for Display

When you publish a page as a portlet, you are not restricted to displaying all regions on the source page. Once you place the portlet on a page, you can edit its default settings to specify which regions from the page portlet’s source page to display. When you choose to display selected regions, the setting applies only to the page for which you make your selection. This becomes relevant when you display selected regions on a Page portlet. For example, imagine that you publish a page through a Page portlet. The page includes a Sub-Page Links region. Within the Page portlet, when you use the Sub-Page Links region to navigate from the selected page to its sub-pages, the Display Selected Regions setting is ignored and all regions display. The Display Selected Regions setting is enforced again when you navigate back to the originally selected page through the Page portlet. To select page portlet regions for display:

1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Go to the page that contains the page portlet.

For information on locating a page, see Section 8.1, Locating Pages in Oracle Portal . If you do not see the page that you want to work with, you may not have the appropriate page access privileges. See your page group administrator to gain access.

3. Click the Edit link at the top of the page.

This displays the page in Edit mode.

4. In page Edit mode, click the page portlet’s Edit Defaults icon

6. Select only those regions that should be displayed in the page portlet.

7. Click OK.

8.6 Performing Actions on Multiple Pages Simultaneously

Oracle Portal provides the means of performing a single task on multiple objects at the same time. Use this feature to perform mass deletes, moves, copies, and so on in one step. The actions you can perform to multiple selections at once include: Note: If a Page portlet or a page that has been published as a portlet displays blank, it is likely that the portlet was edited or personalized to display a restricted number of the source page’s regions. Then some change was made that broke the rule of restriction, for example, regions were added or removed from the source page’s underlying template, or you navigated to a sub-page with a different region layout. No matter the cause, you can resolve this situation by editing or personalizing the Page portlet, and selecting to Display All Regions. 8-12 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal ■ Deleting ■ Moving ■ Copying ■ Changing access privileges ■ Checking content out and in ■ Submitting and approving or rejecting content ■ Hiding or showing content To perform actions on multiple pages simultaneously, you can either work through a page’s List view or through the Portal Navigator. In the following subsections, we provide information about both methods: ■ Section 8.6.1, Performing Bulk Actions Through List View ■ Section 8.6.2, Performing Bulk Actions Through the Portal Navigator

8.6.1 Performing Bulk Actions Through List View

To perform bulk actions through List View:

1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

3. From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select the page group that

owns the pages on which to perform bulk actions. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

4. Under Pages in the Layout Appearance section, click the page group’s root

page. This opens the page in Edit mode.

5. Click the Editing Views: List link in the toolbar at the top of the page.

6. In the Select column, select the check box next to the pages you will include in the

action. If an object does not include a check box, you do not have permission to perform an action on the object.

7. Select an action from the displayed Actions buttons or the Actions list, and click

Go . If a bulk action cannot be selected for a given set of items, then it probably means that the selected action cannot be performed over all the selected items. Review your item selection, and de-select those for which the action cannot be performed. Note: You must be the page group or portal administrator, or have the appropriate privilege on the objects, to perform actions on multiple objects. Note: In the Page Groups portlet, the root page is distinguished by the name display name root page.
