A WebCenter Portal Pretty URLs

This appendix provides the syntax for the pretty URLs in WebCenter Portal. Pretty URLs are more intuitive and shorter than standard URLs. Instead of clicking navigation links, or if navigation links do not exist to certain pages, you can enter a pretty URL in your browser to directly access user profiles, pages, and administration screens.

This appendix includes the following topics:

Section A.1, "Pretty URLs for WebCenter Portal Administration Pages"
Section A.2, "Pretty URLs for System Pages"
Section A.3, "Pretty URLs for Managing All Portals"
Section A.4, "Pretty URLs for the Default Portal"
Section A.5, "Pretty URLs for User Profiles"
Section A.6, "Pretty URLs for the Home Portal"
Section A.7, "Pretty URLs for Pages in a Specified Portal"

A.4 Pretty URLs for the Default Portal

By default, users see the Home portal when they log in, but the system administrator can configure the initial landing page to be a specific portal or page. For more information about the default portal, see the "Choosing a Default Start (or Landing) Page" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal.

Table A-5 lists and describes the syntax for the pretty URLs that provide easy access to user profiles.

You can view a profile, including your own, by clicking a user name wherever you see it in WebCenter Portal.

In the Home portal (Figure A-4), click the Profile tab to view your own profile.

For more information, see the "Viewing a Profile" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Oracle WebCenter Portal.

Target	Pretty URL Syntax
Home page of specified portal (first navigable node in the navigation model)	`http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName` See Figure A-7.
Profile page for the specified user or (if username omitted) current user in the context of the specified portal	`http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName/profile/userName` `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName/profile`
Specified page in a portal (including a portal page, tool console page, system page, and business role page)	You can access any page or subpage in your portal using pretty URLs. Note: If your portal is based on a portal (space) template from a prior release of WebCenter Portal (for example, if you imported a space from a prior release), you can access only parent pages through pretty URLs. Note that in this case, there is no support for hierarchical pages (subpages), or page variants. For information about pages and subpages, see Section 12.2, "Creating Pages or Subpages in a Portal" and Section 13.3, "Adjusting Page Order and Hierarchy in the Portal Navigation." You can use either of the following pretty URLs to display a specific portal page: `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName/page/pageName` displays the first page named `pageName` found in the page hierarchy of the specified portal. This is the page display name, as specified by its Name property. `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName/pageIdentifier` where `pageIdentifier` can be any of the following, searched for by WebCenter Portal in this order: ID. To find the ID of a page, see Section 13.16, "Setting Navigation Properties and Display Options for a Page." If the target is a subpage, include the ID(s) of the parent page(s) in the path. External ID. To find the external ID of a page, see Section 13.16, "Setting Navigation Properties and Display Options for a Page." Name. To find the Name of a page, see Section 13.6, "Viewing Information About a Page." This is the page display name, as specified by the Name property and exposed in the user interface. If the target is a subpage, you can optionally include the name(s) of the parent page(s) in the path.
	Example: Portal name: `Philatelists` A page in portal `Philatelists`: ID: `presPage` External ID: `1800` Name: `Presidents` A subpage to parent page `Presidents`: ID: `lincPage` External ID: `1865` Name: `Lincoln` The following pretty URLs display the subpage named `Lincoln`: `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/page/Lincoln` (finds first page named `Lincoln` in page hierarchy) `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/presPage/lincPage` (using ID, including parent page ID) `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/1865` (using external ID) `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/Presidents/Lincoln` (using display name, including parent page display name) `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/Lincoln` (using display name, excluding parent page display name) More examples: Tool Console page (for full list, see Tools and Services page, below): `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/Discussions` or `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/system/Discussions` System page: `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/system/Search` Business role page: `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/SalesForecast` or `http://host:port/webcenter/portal/Philatelists/page/SalesForecast`
