About Adaptive Page Layouts (ALI 6.5)
Adaptive page layouts allow you to change the look and
feel of the portal user interface using adaptive tags in standard
XHTML.
Adaptive page layouts can be used in most areas of the portal.
Each page layout type has an associated tag library. The tags in each
library only work in the related page layout. The base page library
and the legacy adaptive tag libraries (pt:common, pt:core, pt:logic,
pt:ptdata, pt:ptui, pt:standard and pt:transformer) work on any page
with a portal banner and are used in all page layouts. The following
table summarizes the available page layout types:

- Creating a Portlet Adaptive Page LayoutPortlet page adaptive layouts allow you to customize the layout of the portlet header as well as how individual portlets are displayed. The outer area (header, footer, navigation areas) is based on the Base Page adaptive layout.
- Creating a Knowledge Directory Adaptive Page LayoutThe Knowledge Directory adaptive page layout defines the content area of the Knowledge Directory. The outer area (header, footer, navigation areas) is based on the Base Page adaptive layout.
- Creating a Search Results Adaptive Page LayoutThe Search Results adaptive page layout defines the search results content area. The outer area (header, footer, navigation areas) is based on the Base Page adaptive layout.
