Description:
The New Site Wizard feature provides the ability to quickly and easily create virtual portals based on selecting a site template, an initial look and feel style, and optional features. The wizard is designed to be used by administrators and business users alike, to aid in building new sites to support a multi-tenancy portal. The wizard encapsulates many administrative tasks, such as user enrollment, virtual portal creation, and content library creation. Once the portal is created, site owners can easily customize the layout and look and feel. A few of the default templates allow for content to be edited in-line on the page using Lotus Web Content Management software.
Also included with the New Site Wizard is a Download Configuration portlet, which packages the entire configuration of a virtual portal and makes it available for download and reuse in another WebSphere Portal installation. The default New Site Wizard site templates place the Download Configuration portlet under the Administration pages.
Portal developers can build and deploy their own site templates and styles. The wizard also has a programming interface for building other site creation tasks for performing additional operations necessary when creating new sites. The default site creation task source code is provided as an example that can be extended.
