Placing footer on Portal desktop
Guys,
I am having a hard time placing a footer on the Portal Desktop.
I copied "Enterprise" sample portal and customized it to my requirements.however the enterprise portal does not have any footer.
Can anybody tell me how I can place a footer on portal desktop so that It stays at the bottom of page even when scrolling is present.
Thanks!
Deepak.

hello,
do you try to add a new channel with width property set to full_bottom ?
this add the new channel at bottom of the page and with full width.
You can add it, in PS7 Enterprise Portal, to all tabs (there is 2x2 tabs) or only in one as you want. for example, to add it to the tab "Home - News"
- connect to psconsole
- select Manage Channels
- select EnterpriseSample DN
- select, in the left tree the NewsContainer channel
- click New channel or container
- create a new Provider Channel (BookmarkProvider ie)
- modifiy the width property to set to full_bottom
I just take a look to Enterprise sample portal and it doesn't take care of full_bottom value... you must modify the file table.jsp in
/var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal1/desktop/enterprise_sample/JSPTableContainerProvider/
as the one in
/var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal1/desktop/default/JSPTableContainerProvider
you must add something like
<!-- BEGIN FULL BOTTOM CHANNELS -->
<dttable:getColumns id="channels" column="bottom" scope="request"/>
<jsp:include page="tabletopbottom.jsp" flush="true"/>
<!-- END BOTTOM CHANNELS -->
i haven't test it... maybe later

Thanks Phillipe!
I think adding a full_bottom channel is not the right solution coz thats not really meant for making a footer and also I can have only one full_bottom channel on my desktop.
There should be a more elegant way of doing this.I can place a footer with css in a normal scenario but sun portal makes life more complex for a footer.!
Cheers,
