Hiding the Portal Pages

In WebSphere Portal, while you are creating a new page under content root, it will be shown on the quick links navigation.

If you don't want a page that you create to appear in the main menu, there is an option of hiding your page. You can use own customize links or navigation to access the page via direct URL mapping.

To hide the page, it can be done through WebSphere Portal XML configuration interface. You can hide the page by setting the hidden flag for the page parameter for the content-node tag in XML. You can also use the following XML snippet code for hiding the page:

<request xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_1.4.xsd" type="update" create-oids="true">

<portal action="locate">

<content-node action="update" uniquename="com.mypage" active ="true">

<parameter name="com.ibm.portal.Hidden" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[true]]></parameter>

</content-node>

</portal>

</request>
