Question

I'm trying to build a book shop with three portlets on one portal page. It should look like this:

But if i restart the web-app it looks like this:

What do i have to do to save the postion of the portlets in the layout? The layout of the site is still the same, but the portlets aren't on thier positions.

I'm using Websphere Portal 8.5.5 with the RAD 9.5.

Answer 1

so if you are using Rad 9.5 I am assuming you are deploying your login portlets each time, in doing so rad removes them from the page and then deploys them agian when you make changes you way to keep their position would be to either deploy and update them by hand or use xmlaccess to update the page each time
