Add a widget from the Mashup Center to the portal

When an administrator has deployed a widget from the Mashup Center to the portal, portal users can add that widget to the portal and use it on their mashup pages.

To add a widget to the portal...

1. Open the Mashup Center.

2. Click the search input field in the upper corner and search for the widget.

3. Hover the mouse over the widget.

4. Click Details.

5. Click Actions > Add to WebSphere Portal.

6. Provide information about the portal:

   • Enter the address of the portal server including the context root, for example http://localhost:10039/wps/.If you want to add a widget to a virtual portal that is not defined by host name, but by using a virtual portal context, enter the following URL:

     http://host:port/wps/mycontenthandler/virtualportalcontext?uri=model:deploy:widget

     Example:

     http://localhost:10039/wps/mycontenthandler/vp1?uri=model:deploy:widget

   • Use the current credentials or specify alternative credentials as appropriate. To use the current credentials, single signon must be enabled between the portal and the Mashup Center.

7. On the next page, select the appropriate category from the drop down menu.

8. Click the Finish button to add the widget to the portal.

9. To be able to view the newly added widget, log out and log back in to the portal.

You can add multiple widgets to the same category.
