Description/Features

The Search Portlet is a JSR-168 compliant portlet that can be used to search a confluence server.

Installation

Portal Applications

This is a portlet. Thus, you will need a portal application in order to use it.
The portlet is JSR-168 compliant, and thus should work with any JSR-168 compliant portal application.
Please Note: This does not mean that you will not have to do some portal application specific jiggery-pokery in order to make the portlet work with your portal application. I developed the portlet with Liferay. However, I found that it simply would not work without some liferay libraries. These are not included with the Search Portlet, as they are only going to be useful/needed if you are using Liferay as your portal application. Undoubtedly, if you use a different app, there will be other requirements that must be fulfilled. Please see your portal app's doc for info on installing portlets.

If you happen to be using Liferay:

Anonymous Access

The Search Portlet can only communicate with Confluence Servers that allow anonymous access to their Remote APIs

Usage

  • The portlet may need to be added so you can see it.
    • If liferay, add content by
      • mousing over the Liferay logo in the upper right corner
      • Clicking the + (plus) logo.
      • A popup of addable content will launch.
      • Look for the new portlet in the Undefined category.
      • Click the add button.
      • Close the addable content button.

Portlet Inputs:
