Customize The Navigation Tabs

frozen4time Apr 19, 2007 11:35 AM

I am trying to get ahead of the curve in our plans to migrate from jboss portal 2.4.1 to the new 2.6 version. In our current implementation using 2.4.1 we made a copy and modified the navigation portlet to render the tabs in slightly a different way. Looking at the 2.6 version I see that there is no longer a navigation portlet. The PageCustomizerInterceptor now renders the navigation tabs.

However, I haven't found any documentation suggesting that there is a way for me to specify which Interceptor should be used to do this rendering. Basically I am looking for a way to configure the naviation tab rendering on a per portal basis. For example for the default and admin portal I would want to leave the current tabs the way they are, but for a new portal I am deploying in the container I would like to have a different rendering of the tabs.

Is this possible?

I am using the latests 2.6 release available (beta1) in JBoss 4.0.5GA both downloaded. I am running on windows and the only database I am using is hypersonic at the moment.

You can either write your own Interceptor (or base it from the default one), or if it just a matter of "look" use a different theme for your other portals.

Thanks for the response. Using a theme won't work because its the actual structure of the HTML that is generated not just the style of it. I can certainly copy and modify the default interceptor. One question I had though is that if I do that, won't that configure the way the tabs are generated for the whole portal? This would mean if I want to have differnt navigation components for different portals, I can't do that.
