My Favorites portlet

khan

Is it possible to put the My Favorites portlet on the right-hand column of CCStd? If so, how? I've tried without success.

Thanks.

Check out the User Interface Customisation Guide (UICG).

In particular check out portal_custom.xml

Cheers

Right, thanks. I have and it offers no help. I've tried moving, inserting, etc. with no success.

We had a bunch of issues getting these moved around, but it is possible.

Can you paste in the snippet from your portal_custom.xml file so I can see what you are trying to do.

khan

Woohoo! I'm glad to hear it's possible!

What we have now:

<iwov-portal>
<portal-page id="iw.ccstd.home.portal-page">

<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column1.portal-group" width="30%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.how_do_i.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.content.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
</portlet-group>

<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column2.portal-group" width="70%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.work_in_progress.portlet"/>

<iwov-delete>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.search.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.tasks.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_forms.portlet"/>
</iwov-delete>

</portlet-group>
</portal-page>
</iwov-portal>

What we want:

<iwov-portal>
<portal-page id="iw.ccstd.home.portal-page">

<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column1.portal-group" width="30%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.how_do_i.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.content.portlet"/>

</portlet-group>

<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column2.portal-group" width="70%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.work_in_progress.portlet"/>

<iwov-delete>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.search.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.tasks.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_forms.portlet"/>
</iwov-delete>

</portlet-group>
</portal-page>
</iwov-portal>

Thanks!

Very weird. I get this to work in 6.1 but not in 6.5. I am testing it on 6.1 SP1 and 6.5 both running Windows 2003 EE. Might be better to file a support case for this. The syntax to get it to work in 6.1 (had refids in there) looked like this:

<portal-page id="iw.ccstd.home.portal-page">
<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column1.portal-group" width="30%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.how_do_i.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.how_do_i.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.content.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.content.portlet"/>
<iwov-delete>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
</iwov-delete>
</portlet-group>
<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column2.portal-group" width="70%">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.tasks.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.tasks.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.work_in_progress.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.work_in_progress.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_forms.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.my_forms.portlet"/>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet" refid="_iw.ccstd.common.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
</portlet-group>
</portal-page>

Darn it. We're on TS6.5.

Thanks for your help, b.

Have you tried it with less of the redundant context?<iwov-portal>
<portal-page id="iw.ccstd.home.portal-page">
<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column1.portal-group" width="30%">
<iwov-delete>
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
</iwov-delete>
</portlet-group>
<portlet-group id="iw.ccstd.home.column2.portal-group" width="70%">
<iwov-insert-after id="iw.ccstd.home.my_forms.portlet">
<portlet id="iw.ccstd.home.my_favorites.portlet"/>
</iwov-insert-after>
</portlet-group>
</portal-page>
</iwov-portal>I just tried this out on a 6.5 system and it seemed to work

I finally got this working in TS6.5. The difference between this time and last week is I added in the refid's. BUT, I also had to first remove the portlet from the left column, run make_toolkit, then added it to the right column, and run make_toolkit again. I also did this last week, but I didn't do the refid's, so I don't know if that was the problem. Even today, it took me several tries to get it to work without any bugginess. Seems temperamental, but it is do-able.

But I still have a question about the refid's. Do they need to be there because they haven't up until now that I've tried moving My Favorites to the right side. And, with the refid's in, I get xmlvalidate errors when I run make_toolkit, although it builds fine.
