Remove portlet Maximize button.

Jboss portal 2.7.0

I have to remove all portlets maximize button. Please guide me to do this.

One alternative ist to turn off the render mode (emptyRenderer).

<window>
 <window-name>PortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>PortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>left</region>
 <height>1</height>
 <properties>
 <!-- turn the decoration off for this portlet (i.e. no title and mode/state links) -->
 <property>
 <name>theme.decorationRendererId</name>
 <value>emptyRenderer</value>
 </property>
 </properties>
 </window>

Thanks Fuchs. If I set emptyRenderer, we cant see the other link(minimize). I want to remove only maximize button .

One technique we've used in the past to do what you're describing is somewhat similar to fuchs recommendation.

We extended our custom decoration renderers to look for a window property to disable certain mode/state links.

Example property:

<property>
 <name>maximized.windowstate.decoration.render</name>
 <value>false</value>
</property>

And then your decoration renderer code would look something like:

if (drc.getProperty(action.getName() + "." + actionKey + ".decoration.render") != null) {
 render = Boolean.valueOf(drc.getProperty(action.getName() + "." + actionKey+ ".decoration.render"));
}
if (render) {
 //print out link markup
}

Iam not sure, because dont use any modes. But a other solution could be to overwrite the css.

.portlet-mode-maximized {
 overflow: hidden;
}

Maybe with hidden or nothing.

I don't think you'd want to set overflow, you'd want to set either visibility, display, or use positioning to push the element off the screen:

display:none;
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;left:-9999em;

This solution would still render the links in the markup, but use CSS to hide or move them for *all* portlets.

I'd recommend extending your DecorationRenderer to support your needs as mentioned previously.

Thankyou apemberton and Fuchs.
I have set the following code in css.


visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;left:-9999em;

It is working fine.
