Problem adding navigation portlet to page

[thatporguy]

Alright guys, I have a portlet i deploy that creates its own page. I then try to add the navigation portlet to it, and in the admin tab i can add it without errors. When i go to that page though, the nav portlet is not there.

how could i add the navigation portlet to the deployment of that page? can i do that?

thanks

I just ran into this same issue.

In my *-obect.xml I have the following:



<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref>default</parent-ref>

<page-name>Content<page-name>

<window-name>MyPortletWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>MyNewPortletInstance</instance-ref>
center
0


<window-name>MyNav</window-name>
<instance-ref>NavigationPortletInstance</instance-ref>
navigation
0
0

<security-constraint>
<policy-permission>
<role-name>User</role-name>
<action-name>viewrecursive</action-name>
</policy-permission>
<policy-permission>
<role-name>Admin</role-name>
<action-name>viewrecursive</action-name>
<action-name>personalizerecursive</action-name>
</policy-permission>
</security-constraint>



<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

<instance-name>MyNewPortletInstance</instance-name>
<component-ref>myportlet.MyPortlet</component-ref>




and in my portlet-instances.xml, I have the following:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>


<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

<instance-id>MyNewPortletInstance</instance-id>
<portlet-ref>MyPortlet</portlet-ref>


<instance-id>NavigationPortletInstance</instance-id>
<portlet-ref>NavigationPortlet</portlet-ref>




This works great. I'm now struggling with trying to set the theme.windowRendererId, theme.decorationRendererId, and theme.portletRendererId in the descriptor. If you come up with a solution for that, I'd appreciate you sharing it with me.

Thom

I'm repositing this with html disable because the code was lost in the original post.
