Getting to AdminCMS Portlet

[freshasp]

Hi,

I am trying to get to the AdminCMS portlet as documented in the JBoss Portal 2.0 manual (running the Pentaho 1.0 out-of-the-box demo environment).

I login as the admin user (admin/admin) without problem but the portlet does not appear. Neither does it appear when I go to the URL listed on p.15 of the Portal 2.0 User Guide. Has it been disabled? Any ideas how I can get it back?

What are Pentaho's plans for moving to JBoss Portal 2.2?

Many thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

For the purposes of our demo we have disabled the Portal Admin page.

You can get it back by editing the default portal.

1. Go to pentaho-demo/jboss/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF

2. Edit default-portal.xml

3. You will see (on line 36 and line 56) that the Portal Admin page is commented out.

4. Change line 36 from <!-- page> to <page>

5. Change line 56 from </page --> to </page>

6. Start the demo server

We are looking into moving to Jboss Portal 2.2

Thanks James - this gets me the Portal Admin page, but I can't seem to find the AdminCMS portlet. Am I missing something or does this need a further config change?

You need to add portlets to get the CMS stuff to work. If you have an original JBoss Portal 2.0 installation these portlets are defined in

jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/default/deploy/portal-core.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/portlet.xml
jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/default/deploy/portal-core.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/jboss-portlet.xml
jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/default/deploy/portal-core.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/portlet-instances.xml
jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/default/deploy/portal-core.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/default-portal.xml
