Creating and enabling a custom site area

You can create extra custom site areas so that your content can be stored in separate site areas.

Before you begin

You do not need to create or enable the default Script Portlet Library/Script Portlet Applications site area that is provided with the Script Portlet installation.

Procedure

  1. In the Web Content Manager authoring portlet, click New > Site Area and choose the new site area name and location library to store the site area in.
  2. In the new site area Properties tab, click Profile and add the keyword ibm.portal.toolbar.NewContent, ibm.portal.scriptportlet.Content to add the site area to the content toolbar.
  3. Associate the new site area with the Script Portlet DnD Configuration to configure the Web Content Manager Viewer portlet that is used by the Script Portlets when users drag content on a page.
    1. In the content toolbar, select the new site area. Click Advanced.
    2. In the Configuration tab, select the Script Portlet Content DnD Configuration that you want to associate with your site area.

What to do next

If your new custom site area appears in the content toolbar and you can add applications from that site area to portal pages, but the title of the portlet shows Web Content Viewer in Edit mode, then the drag configuration step did not complete successfully. Complete step 3 again to resolve the issue.
