How to create un page with 2 columns

[mbrisou]

Hi,

is it possible to configure page with portlets in 2 column container?

I mean the configuration in: ../gatein.ear/02portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/portal/portal/classic/pages.xml.

Here is sample:

<page>
    <name>page</name>
    <title>pageTitle</title>
      <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
      <edit-permission>*:/platform/administrators</edit-permission>

      <container id="body" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">
            <container id="left" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

                 <application>
                         <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapLeft</instance-id>
                         <title>Site Left</title>
                  </application>

             </container>

             <container id="right" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

                 <application>
                         <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapRight</instance-id>
                         <title>Site Right</title>
                  </application>

             </container>

      </container>

  </page>

The columns are not displayed.

In the console there are not errors

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Darlys and Martial

Look this discussion here:    http://community.jboss.org/thread/151511

Hello,

here you find an example that works:

http://community.jboss.org/message/523443#523443

otherwise:

1. I would rename the ids of your containers, they are to generic and you risk name collisions, call them "BrisouRight" etc.

2. I cannot see

<owner-type>portal</owner-type>
     <owner-id>classic</owner-id>

in your page definition.

3. Verify

a)  if "portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapLeft" is correctly written, and

b)  if you can see this application when showing it in a simple page.

Hello Soren

   What is the syntax to define instance-id element of element
application?, the syntax that I understood is the following:

   <instance-id>owner-type#owner-id:/warName/PortletName/IdUnique </ instance-id>

Values:

owner-type=portal (deafult value)

owner-id=classic (default value)

warName=web (this application exist)

PortletName=SiteMapPortlet (existing portlet)

Is it a way or the syntax is another?.

I really want to modify the SiteMap page to see if I can define a page with containers.

I tried this:

<page>
    <name>page</name>
    <title>pageTitle</title>
      <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
      <edit-permission>*:/platform/administrators</edit-permission>

                 <application>
                         <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapLeft</instance-id>
                         <title>Site Left</title>
                  </application>

  </page>

The page is not displayed.

May I remind you my remark 2. ?

[trong.tran]

the correct one should be :

<page>
   <name>page</name>
   <title>pageTitle</title>
   <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
   <edit-permission>*:/platform/administrators</edit-permission>

   <container id="body" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">
      <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>

      <container id="left" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
         <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
         <application>
            <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapLeft</instance-id>
            <title>Site Left</title>
            <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
         </application>
      </container>

      <container id="right" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
         <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
         <application>
            <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapRight</instance-id>
            <title>Site Right</title>
            <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
         </application>
      </container>
   </container>

</page>

BTW, i suggest you to use the definition way of portlet from ( for sample ) :

          <application>
             <instance-id>portal#classic:/web/SiteMapPortlet/SiteMapLeft</instance-id>
             <title>Site Left</title>
            <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
          </application>

to

           <portlet-application>
               <portlet>
                  <application-ref>web</application-ref>
                  <portlet-ref>SiteMapPortlet</portlet-ref>

                   <preferences>
                     <preference>
                       <name>pref1</name>
                       <value>value1</value>
                       <read-only>false</read-only>
                     </preference>

                     <preference>
                        <name>pref2</name>
                        <value>value2</value>
                        <read-only>true</read-only>
                      </preference>

                  </preferences>
               </portlet>
               <title>Site Left</title>
               <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
               <show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>
            </portlet-application>

In new way, it allows you to define preferences inline the portlet definition
