[protege-discussion] question about web protege layout configuration

[Jack Elliott]

Hi Jie,

I certainly would expect the Changes Portlet to work in a user defined 
tab, but there are a few details in the configuration that we should be 
sure of. The controllingPortlet tag should be set properly. This element 
is should be added after your final columns element, before the closing 
</tab> tag.

It is important that the Class Tree Portlet be the first and only 
element in the first column defined in the xml until you're comfortable 
with the configuration process. If this is the case, then your 
controllingPortlet should look like this:

<controllingPortlet reference="../columns/column/portlets/portlet"/>

The controlling portlet tag 'points' to the Class Tree Portlet, which 
allows the other portlets to be driven from the selections made in that 
widget. You've almost certainly seen the page below, but I'm sending it 
through as it contains good configuration examples and a more detailed 
discussion of the controlling portlet:

http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeLayoutConfig

The only advantage to using the predefined tab is that you don't have to 
configure the layout yourself. It is easier to use, but much less 
flexible than going with a user defined tab. I hope this has been helpful!

thanks,

Jack
