Hi Anish,

What kind of behaviour would you like to add to the composer ?

Could you give us some details to study if it's something that you can do with existing UI ?

Thanks,

Lucas

Hi Lucas

Thanks for your replay,

I have a portlet and which shows all pages in my portal as links. When i clicks on a link the composer will appears and it shows current layout of that currosponding page. Also from that composor we can change the layout and also you can add/remove portlets. After when i finish the composor wizard, the changed pages apearance looks like what i changed in the composor....

IS IT POSSIBLE BY USING GATEIN?

Hi Anish,

I understand that what you would like to add is a link for the Edit page mode, right ?

So, you would like to have a portlet that renders all pages as links and be able to edit a page choosing it.

It looks like to me similar to the PageManagement portlet:

http://localhost:8080/portal/g/:platform:administrators/administration/pageManagement

Where you can edit directly your page.

Also, you can personalize your portlet adding this links, I didn't try before but I'm sure you can take this template as an example:

https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/blob/master/portlet/exoadmin/src/main/webapp/groovy/admintoolbar/webui/component/UIAdminToolbarPortlet.gtmpl

In this template (and also in the PageManagement portlet) you can use as example to customize your portlet (take a look in the links for access to the composer).

Hope this helps.

Lucas
