cms portlet problem

[hr_k]

Hi

I am using jboss-portal-2.2.1RC2 and Mysql.

My question is how to configure the cmsportlet to display a html file created in the content repository.

I would like to do this using the cms admin and management pages.

Thanks.

You need to do 2 things
1) Log in using admin/admin and use the CMSAdmin portlet
Create a folder /MyFolder/MyPage

2)Now create an instance of CMSPortlet in the page that you want

Use the following steps:
a)In portlet.xml

<portlet>
 <portlet-name>MyCMSPortlet</portlet-name>
 <portlet-class>org.jboss.portal.core.portlet.cms.CMSPortlet</portlet-class>
 <init-param>
 <description>Default path to index page.</description>
 <name>indexpage</name>
 <value>/MyFolder/MyFile</value>
 </init-param>
 <supports>
 <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
 <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
 </supports>
 <portlet-info>
 <title>CMS</title>
 </portlet-info>
</portlet>

b)In *-object.xml (corresponds to your portal name)
Place the instance of the portlet at the correct location

<deployments>
 <deployment>
 <if-exists>keep</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>CMSPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>helloworld.MyCMSPortlet</component-ref>
 </instance>
 </deployment>
</deployments>

also do the page - portlet instance mapping

c)copy jboss-portlet.xml from your portal-core.sar and place it in your web-inf directory

and voila !!
