On the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page under the "Content Area" tab someone deleted the "Site" portlet. How do I add the "Site" portlet back to the page?
I clicked on the customize page and tried to find the portlet to add but it is not listed. I then went to the portlet repository to see if it was expired or something but it was not there.
There is a "Content Areas" portlet that lets you select the content area to go to, but the navigate button takes you back to the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page to the "Content Area" tab.
The same thing happens when you go to the Admin section of a site and try to see the categories for that site. I can't edit my categories anymore.
They point to "Oracle Portal Navigator" page showing the "Content Area" tab, which is no longer the site portlet.
Any ideas?

PS I know its called the "Site" portlet because on A DIFFERENT portal server if I click the customize link on the "Oracle Portal Navigator" page under the "Content Area" tab that is the name it shows the Provider is "Oracle Portal" and the portlet is called "Site". IE "Oracle Portal: Site"

Are you on the EA release? The production versions (3.0.6.6.5 and 3.0.7.6.2) specifically don't allow these portlets to be deleted.

Either way, you can check whether the portlet instance exists by querying the WWPOB_PORTLET_INSTANCE_FLAT$ table. On the production release it is page_id=3 and portlet_id=23. If the row is not there, then you can reinsert it using the data from your other instance. The following statement worked on the production version:
insert into wwpob_portlet_instance_flat$
(ID,PORTLET_ID,PROVIDER_ID,PAGE_ID,REGION_ID,NAME,SEQ,USER_ID,INCLUDE,CONTENT_TYPE,CONTAINER_ID,IS_TAB )
values
(44,23,26644,3,69,'44_SITEEXPLORER_26644',
2,'<BASE>',1,1,3,1)

The problem is on the nagivator page under the content area tab there is no portlet for manageing the content areas.

Sorry about the table not displaying properly but you can see the record.

Answer 1

Jeff,
Well, the row is still in the table which makes sense I guess. The UI doesn't let you delete the portlet from the page. The question is why isn't it appearing? Do you have any more input into what activity was going on prior to the portlet disappearing? I'm assuming that the portlet doesn't show up on the customize screen at all correct? The only way I can get it to not display is by unclicking the checkbox on the customize screen, but then it still shows up on the customize screen.
