4newbies: cms admin for a portlet

[noicangi]

can i use the cms admin portlet to manage content from other portlet, for example change the content of the helloportlet example (in case of html files)?

[roy.russo]

No. The CMSAdmin portlet is tied to using the JCR CMS.

Roy,

How about the other way, from HelloWorldPortlet doView() method to reference html/jsp content in CMS? If it's doable, could you give us an example?

Thank you in advance,

Robert

Why don't you just create an extra instance of the CMSPortlet and set a different start-page in its preferences?

How can I do this?

noicangi, I would like to know if exists a way to set the start page of one instance of the CMSPortlet in the user interface of the JBoss Portal, without edit any XML file. Is that possible ? Thanks.

Use the management portlet to modify the instance preferences of the cmsportlet.

Roy,

The management portlet has the tab "Instances". In there I found the link "CMSPortletInstance" and the tab "Preferences" on the right. But when I enter in the tab "Preferences", I see just something like that:

Key Description ReadOnly Value Instance Portlet

without any rows containing the preferences. What´s wrong? Thanks again.

I'm looking at the 2.4 portal now. The Management Instances Preferences for a CMS portlet I've instantiated has


Key Description ReadOnly Value Instance Portlet
indexpage Description false %2Fdefault%2Findex.html Create %2Fdefault%2Findex.html

How do I use this to set the start page?

I click on the wand, and get delete, update and changeme buttons. I don't understand the syntax of the field, and what it is controlling.

[roy.russo]

The change me field should be where you put the start page path, eg. /default/support.html

[sitongia]

Thanks, that works.

Has somebody got this working with 2.2 ?

[roy.russo]

No. The feature was only added in 2.4.

No new features go in to the 2.2 branch, only fixes.
