Note that these links mirror the links that were + available in the portal instances list on the top level page. + </para> + + <para> + It is possible to create new pages using the page creation form located under the portal-wide + operation links.

The first column shows the page name, which you can click to drill down the + hierachy and display the information specific to that particular page. The second column, on the other + hand, provides a list of action links on the associated page. These links + will be also appearing on individual page screens, as we shall see, just like portal action links + appearing in the portal instances list also appeared on individual portal pages. + </para> + + <para> + Let's now look at the default portal's <literal>Security</literal> information screen.

The information for a page looks a lot like the + information for a portal instance. Note the breadcrumbs indicating that you are indeed looking at a + page. Again, we find the action links at the top of the page, mirroring the ones that were available + for each page in the pages list of the portal instance screen. Once again, you can configure the page's + security, theme and properties. You can also destroy it if so desired. + </para> + + <para> + Similarly to other screens in the portal objects hierarchy, a page configuration screen also provides + a list of all windows for that page. This list contains two columns: the first one contains the + name of the window, while the second one provides a list of action links for that specific window. + As usual, clicking on a window name will display information about that window. + </para> + + <para> + Just like a portal instance can contain several pages, a page can contain several subpages. As such + a page defines means to create subpages and set which subpage to display when a user is first directed + to the page. These operations work similarly to the same operations at the portal instance level. + </para> + + <para> + You can also rename the page if desired: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/default_page_rename.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + </para> + + <para> + Of specific interest, though, is the <literal>Page Layout</literal> link. This is where you need to + go to configure which portlet instance will be displayed in which window on which region on the page. + Let's take a look at this screen and how it works: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/default_page_layout.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + + This screen is structured in two parts, flowing from left to right, following the natural process + involved in displaying content on a page. First, you need to identify which content you want to + display: this is what the <literal>Content Definition</literal> section is for. Then, you need to + figure out where on the page should this content be displayed, hence the <literal>Page Layout</literal> + section. + </para> + + <para> + Let's add a window named <literal>test</literal> displaying the content of the portlet instance + named <literal>NewsPortletInstance</literal> to the center region, beneath the already existing + <literal>CMSWindow</literal>. + First, we need to enter our new window name in the <literal>Window name</literal> field and select + the <literal>portlet</literal> content type from the drop down menu: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_content.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Once this is done, we can select the portlet instance by clicking its name in the instances list: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_instance.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Note that this displays some information about the portlet instance. + Finally, we can add our window to the center region of the page by clicking on <literal>Add</literal> + button located left to the windows list for the region: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_region.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Note that we could move the window up or down in the region by selecting it in the list and using the + button to the right of the list, or even destroy it if desired. + </para> + + <para> + We can repeat this process to add content of different types. Let's add a window using a Google widget + displaying the IP address of the user. First, give a name to your window (we'll use "google" here) + and select <literal>widget/google</literal> from the content type drop-down menu: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_google1.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Note how the instances list is replaced by a list of Google widgets. The widget we want to use is + located in the <literal>Technology</literal> category, so select it from the category drop-down menu: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_google2.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Press <literal>Search Gadgets</literal> and the widget list will be refreshed.

Enter a new window name (we'll + use "cms" here) and select <literal>cms</literal> from the content type drop-down menu: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_cms1.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + Once again, the instances list was replaced by a directory listing showing the available content roots. + Click on <literal>default</literal> and select <literal>project.html</literal>: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_cms2.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + You can now add the window to the desired region. + </para> + + <para> + We've added three new windows to the default page using different content types. We added a window + displaying the content of a portlet (displaying the content of an RSS feed in this case). Another one + displaying a Google widget and yet another one some CMS-issued content. We decided to remove the + existing <literal>CMSWindow</literal>, add the <literal>cms</literal> window below the + <literal>test</literal> one in the center region, while the window showing the Google widget was added + to the left region, below the existing content: + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/layout_final.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + If all went well, logging out of the Admin portal, you should see (IP address blurred to protect + the guilty ^_^): + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="images/management/default_page_after.png" format="png" align="center" + valign="middle"/> + </imageobject> + </mediaobject> + </para> + + <para> + You can read more about + <ulink url="http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.6/reference-guide/en/html/con... + Integration</ulink> in the Reference Guide.
