Hi

i can edit the current page using site editor functionality. But i have some queries about this site editor which follows

1. What is Site Editor? Is it a portlet?

2. Is it possible to attach this site editor with navigation.xml file?

3. How can i access this Site Editor without using toolbar in my custom portal application?

4. Is it possible to change the site editor style?

1. The "Site Editor" that you see is a menu portlet (AdminToolbarPortlet in exoadmin.war), it provide 3 items: add page, edit page, edit site layout. But to edit layout, it's the role of Portal Composer, and this is a portal component, not a portlet

2. how do you want to attach site editor with navigation.xml , and for what ?

3. The AdminToolbarPortlet provide URLs to portal composer, you find how it build url here: https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/blob/master/portlet/exoadmin/src/main/webapp/groovy/admintoolbar/webui/component/UIAdminToolbarPortlet.gtmpl

this it JS command for building edit site layout: eXo.env.server.createPortalURL('UIWorkingWorkspace', 'EditInline', true)

4. yes, GateIn skin can be overriden. Pls try to change portal skin to "Simple Skin". Here is the source code: https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/tree/master/examples/skins/simpleskin

Portal composer is a portal component, so to change its skin, you'll need to overwrite the GateIn core skin (it's possible to do, but we don't have example yet)

Thanks vu viet Phuong

But when i run the javascript code (eXo.env.server.createPortalURL('UIWorkingWorkspace', 'EditInline', true)) i got following error on my js console.

I run the above code  from gatein home page. I think it cannot getting the component id .  If it is right i have a question that how to get the component id of a page?

I don't see any error in the attacted image, it's print out the URL

eXo.env.server.createPortalURL('UIWorkingWorkspace', 'EditInline', true) --> help to create Ajax URL to layout edit action. Then you can use this

<a href="#" onclick="ajaxGet(eXo.env.server.createPortalURL('UIWorkingWorkspace', 'EditInline', true))">Edit</a>

If you want an normal request, not ajax: pass false to that JS function
