To Add New Layouts (Sun Java System Portal Server 7 Enterprise Sample Guide)

Sun Java System Portal Server 7 Enterprise Sample Guide

To Add New Layouts

The Enterprise Sample supports layout=3 (THIN-WIDE-THIN) layout.

You can extend the code to support multiple layouts by modifying the file /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-ID/desktop/enterprise_sample/JSPTableContainerProvider/table.jsp.

Step

Replace the code in the table.jsp Listing 1 with the code in Listing 2.

Listing 1

<!-- Begin Left Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnLeft">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="left" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="center"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Left Column of Channels -->

<!-- Begin Middle Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnCenter"">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="center" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="center"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Middle Column of Channels -->

<!-- Begin Right Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnRight">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="right" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="center"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Right Column of Channels -->

Listing 2

You can find the original code in /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-ID/desktop/enterprise_sample/JSPTableContainerProvider/table.jsp starting at Line # 78

<dtpc:getIntegerProperty key="layout" id="layout"/>
<jx:declare id="layout" type="Integer"/>

<!-- start table-container -->
<% if (layout == 1) { %>
<!-- THIN-WIDE layout -->
<!-- Begin Left Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnLeft">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="left" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="left"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Left Column of Channels -->

<!-- Begin Right Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnCenter">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="right" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="center"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Right Column of Channels -->

<% } else if (layout == 3) { %>
<!-- THIN-WIDE-THIN layout -->
<!-- Begin Left Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnLeft">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="left" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="left"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- End Left Column of Channels -->

<!-- Begin Middle Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnCenter">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="center" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="center"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>

<!-- Begin Right Column of Channels -->
<div class="tableContainerColumnRight">
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="right" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="column.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="columnName" value="right"/>
</jsp:include>
</div>
<!-- Begin Right Column of Channels -->

<% } else if (layout == 4) { %>
<!-- Add custom layout here -->
<% } %>
</div><!-- end table-container -->
