render Portlet on Pop up window

Hi all,
I have a Portlet only but there is no page , i need to display that portlet on popup window.

If it is possible means please tell me what tags we used to render the portlet on that pop up window.


Thanks

a portlet has to be on a page in portal to render it.

You can create a hidden page and put the portlet on that and call it via a link if you wanted

you would either need to use the url generation spi and call the portlet on the page with no theme, or use the url generation tags to do the same

Hi Jim,

Could you explain how to create a hidden page and put the portlet on that and call it via a link.

Thanks

I would create a page under content root, and give it the attribute hidden, by default those pages will not show up.

then depending on where you are calling it from
either use the url generation tags to create a link that will target a new window and make it target the portlet on the page, and set the theme template to plain

or do the same with the url generation spi

Hi ,

To hide the page under content root , we need any rule mapping or any other option is there . ?


Thanks

the only place it could show is un the launch menu, to hide it there
use the page parameter
com.ibm.portal.Hidden set to true
