I’m new to CAF portlet development. I’m using Designer 8.2 to create portlets. When I view my portlet in a web browser I see the following headers and footers (see attachments).
How do I modify/change what the headers and footers look like?
Can I create my own? If so how?
I looked at the CAF Development Help documentation but did not find anything that describes how to do this. I thought maybe it could be done with MWS Adminstration but I’m not sure this is the correct approach or not.
Can I write one of these shell rules from within my portlet project using Designer?
In the documentation I have read I haven’t seen anything on how to write a shell rule. The only reference I have seen is a brief reference to them in the MWS section of the CAF Development Help documentation but there is no description on how to create one.
The solution to your problem is, you need to create your own custom header portlet and footer portlet.

I have everything working but all I have been able to do is to inherit or ignore the standard predefined headers and footers on MWS.
How do I make the custom header and portlets available to my shell rule?
I tried creating a separate header portlet but was unable to get my shell rule to use it. I can get my shell rule to use any of the predefined one but not my custom one.
