Changing a Tab Image

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 10-38 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal page portlet is placed the target page. For the style element Portlet Body Color, remove the value from the Background Color field, and click Apply. The background color specified for the page portlet’s source page that is, Background Color property of the Common style element displays. To illustrate this for yourself, create a page named Source and a page named Target. Create a Source Style for the Source page and a Target Style for the Target page. Set all the color values for Source Style to the red end of the color palette. Set all the color values for Target Style to the blue end of the color palette. Add some portlets and items to the Source and Target pages. Publish the Source page as a portlet. Place the Source page portlet onto the Target page. For the Source page, experiment with selecting and de-selecting Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed , and viewing the result on the Target page. Also, experiment with specifying and clearing the value field for the Background property of Target Style’s Common style element. How can I display portlet headers and borders on one portlet but not on another? Put the portlets in different regions. Turn portlet headers and borders on in one region. Turn them off in another. I was editing a page and I wanted to collapse portlets, but those controls were not visible. The CollapseRestore, Remove, and Personalize links do not display in Edit mode because editing and personalizing are different types of tasks. These links display in View mode. When you want to edit a page without too much distraction from its existing content, consider switching from Graphical view to List or Layout view. Is there a way to rearrange regions on a page? Not directly. There is no drag-and-drop capability with regions. However, you can move content and delete and add regions pretty easily to achieve this effect. For example, in List view of page Edit mode, move all content to one region, which will act as a holding region. Delete the undesirable empty regions, then add regions in the desired layout. Finally, move the content from the holding region into their target home regions. How do I add an item region to my view of a page? You cannot add an item region when you personalize a page. One way around this is to upload the items to a page on which you have Edit privileges, for example a personal page. Then personalize the original page, add the Favorites portlet to it, then add links to your items to the Favorites portlet. For information on working with the Favorites portlet, see Section A.5.1, Working with the Favorites Portlet . For information on adding a portlet to a page, see Section 2.3.1, Adding a Portlet to a Page . Tip: When you edit styles, a quick way to move from style element property to style element property is to click the style element property in the Preview section of the Edit Style page. This selects the style element property and displays all of its values for editing
