Deploy and adding a widget from the Mashup Center to the portal

To deploy and add a widget from the Mashup Center to the portal in one combined procedure, follow the steps listed here.

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 > Deploy 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 Finish to add and deploy the widget to the portal.

9. If the widget is already deployed, select the appropriate operation:

   • To add the widget to the category and redeploy the existing widget, select Replace.

   • To add the widget to the category without redeploying it, select Add the existing widget.

10. Click Finish again to complete the operation.

11. 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.
