add a new tow columns layout, such as left 200px

if i want to add a new layout, which files i need to modify.

[mwringe]

you should be able to specify the width for a container in the page editor.

I am unsure about how to add a new layout, does anyone know how to add a custom layout?

[yelan_gatein]

ok, i research it and successful.

share for your guys.

--add your column container file here:   GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\groovy\portal\webui\container\ 

--create your container and page configation file here GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\conf\portal\template

   include folder containers and pages, add you own folder.

--modify containerConfigOption.groovy here GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\conf\uiconf\portal\webui\container

  such as line 70, add code:

  column.addSelectItemOption(new SelectItemOption("left200TwoColumns",""+
          "<container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UILeft200ColumnContainer.gtmpl\">" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
          "</container>",
          "Left200TwoColumnContainerLayout"));       

start you gatein, and you can see the new layout.
Good Luck.

Hi, I've read your post and I'm having problems following your steps for the  solution.

Is there a template for the column  container file? and for the page.xml and container.xml?

Can  you tell me what these files should look like? Or publish the files?

thx

--add your column container file here:   GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\groovy\portal\webui\container\

create file : UILeft200ColumnContainer.gtmpl

--create your container and page configation file here GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\conf\portal\template\containers

   include folder containers and pages, add you own folder.

create folder and file: left200-two-columns\container.xml:

<container template="classpath:groovy/dashboard/webui/component/UILeft200ColumnContainer.gtmpl">
      <container template="classpath:groovy/dashboard/webui/component/UIContainer.gtmpl">
            <application>
          <instance-id>/eXoGadgets/Calendar</instance-id>
          <application-type>eXoGadget</application-type>
        </application>     
      </container>
         <container template="classpath:groovy/dashboard/webui/component/UIContainer.gtmpl">
            <application>
          <instance-id>/eXoGadgets/Calculator</instance-id>
          <application-type>eXoGadget</application-type>
        </application>        
         </container>
</container>

--modify containerConfigOption.groovy here GateIn-3.0.0-GA\web\portal\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\conf\uiconf\portal\webui\container

  such as line 70, add code:

add lines:

column.addSelectItemOption(new SelectItemOption("left200TwoColumns",""+
          "<container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UILeft200ColumnContainer.gtmpl\">" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
          "</container>",
          "Left200TwoColumnContainerLayout")); 

good luck.

still don't know what sould the UILeft200ColumnContainer.gtmpl contain?

can I copy the UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl and change it? what should I change?

thx

[yelan_gatein]

yes, copy exist one and modify it when view mode.......

[devuy]

Thanks!

I finally copied another template.

The steps I followed are:

Copy the file UITableAutofitColumnContainer.gtmpl in portal\groovy\portal\webui\container\ you can find this file here (http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/gatein/portal/trunk/web/portal/src/main/webapp/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableAutofitColumnContainer.gtmpl)

Add the following text to the ContainerConfigOption.groovy file that can be found in portal\WEB-INF\conf\uiconf\portal\webui\container
  SelectItemCategory autofitColumn = new SelectItemCategory("autofitColumn") ;
    autofitColumn.addSelectItemOption(new SelectItemOption("autofitOneColumns","" +
        "<container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableAutofitColumnContainer.gtmpl\">" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "</container>",
        "OneRowContainerLayout")) ;
    autofitColumn.addSelectItemOption(new SelectItemOption("autofitTwoColumns",
        "<container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableAutofitColumnContainer.gtmpl\">" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "</container>",
        "TwoColumnContainerLayout")) ;
    autofitColumn.addSelectItemOption(new SelectItemOption("autofitThreeColumns",
        "<container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableAutofitColumnContainer.gtmpl\">" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "  <container template=\"system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl\"></container>" +
        "</container>",
        "ThreeColumnContainerLayout")) ;
  templates.add(autofitColumn); 

Add the following lines to the internationalization files you use in portal\WEB-INF\classes\locale\portal\webui_**.properties

line 131
ContainerOptions.Category.autofitColumn=Autofit Columns Layout

line 142
ContainerOptions.Item.autofitOneColumns=Autofit One Column
ContainerOptions.Item.autofitTwoColumns=Autofit Two Columns
ContainerOptions.Item.autofitThreeColumns=Autofit Three Columns

Notes: I saw this changes in the SVN repository so they will be released in the following versions, the line numbers are not important, I posted them in order to leave the files as they are in the repository

Hope this can help.
