Displaying a refresh button on portlets

Edit style sheets to display a refresh button on portlets.

About this task

By default, the Refresh button does not display on portlets. If you want users to us the refresh feature, you must edit the style sheets to display the action buttons. After you change the styles in the style sheet, the Refresh button displays on the following pages and corresponding community views:
  • Forums (All list views )
  • Wikis (My Wikis and All Wikis views)
  • Bookmarks (All list views)
  • Blogs (All list views)
  • Activities (All list views)

Procedure

  1. Open these style sheets from the lcaccelerator\css folder where the Connections portlets are installed.
    • connectionsportlet.css
    • connectionsportlet.css
    • connectionsportlet_mobile.css
    • connectionsportletRTL_mobile.css
  2. For any component that you want to display the refresh buttons, change the attribute display from none to inline. The choices are:
    .activities_refresh {
        display:none;
    }        
    .blogs_refresh {
        display:none;
    }
    .bookmarks_refresh {
        display:none;
    }
    .wikis_refresh {
        display:none;
    }
    .forums_refresh {
        display:none;
