Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Dear Sven,
I work with jsp, so I don't know if my approaches apply also to vm...
I have the same problem, but I think it is not so easy to solve unless you
make some trick like transparent images e.g. in a new right.vm that set the
height of the central part AT LEAST at e.g. 600 px...
You could also try to set the height of the table cell that hosts the
central part, it should be in default.vm.
This seems to work (I just tried it out on the portal I am developing), but
obviously the thing you see depends on your screen set up (width, toolbars
etc.)
Hope you can get some help from my 2 cents!
Good luck
Stefano

Hi,
Why not try using CSS layout techniques ?
"alistapart" is good starting point if it interests you

Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Posted by Sven Richter <sr...@gmx.net>.
Dear Stefano,
that's correct, if I have longer content the page is scrolled completely.
But that's OK for me. My problem was that, if have only a few portlets the
whole portlet looked really crappy because the bottom-frame was somewhere
in the middle. But your idea is pretty interessting too (but I don't know
how to do that yet).
Right now I'm trying to change the background-color of the left navigation
bar. But I can't change the color neighter in the left.vm nor the
default.vm. The changes I make there are somehow completely ignored, even
though there is already an tag (bgcolor) in the original code.
Bye,
Sven.

Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Posted by Stefano Bianchi <st...@softeco.it>.
Dear Sven,
you are right, I was talking "in theory".
What does it happen if you set 80% and you have a longer content? I think
the portal render it all despite the setup.
Anyway, do you (or any other) know how could it be possible to fix the
height of the portal and have all central contents (default.jsp or
default.vm) in e.g. a "frame" with a scroll bar?
Bye
Stefano

Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Posted by Sven Richter <sr...@gmx.net>.
Dear Stefano,
I think that only looks good for someone who has the same resolution (1280
x 1024 ?) as you do. For someone with 800x640 for example it probably
doesn't.
Bye,
Sven.

Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Posted by Stefano Bianchi <st...@softeco.it>.
Dear Sven,
also <td height="600"> works fine, and allows to have all pages that are
"shorter" than 600 px to look the same, whereas the others are rendered as
they are.
A percentage is more dynamic but makes appearance change in all pages (80%
of each different height).
Anyway, let the user choose the best one! ;-)
Bye
Stefano

Re: Changing the background color of the portal - Portal page height
Posted by Sven Richter <sr...@gmx.net>.
Dear Stefano,
thanks for the tips. It works for me. But you shouldn't use an exact
number like 600px (I don't know how you call that in English), but an
percentage (I used: 80%) to make it work on all screen set-ups.
Thanks a lot,
Sven.
