Creating web content libraries

You create web content libraries in the WebSphere® Portal administration portlet.

1. Click the Administration menu icon in the toolbar.
2. Click Portal Content and then Web Content Libraries.
3. Click Create new library.
4. Enter a name and description.
5. Click Localizations to select a text provider plug-in and key. A text provider is used to provide localized text that can be used within the Web Content Manager user interface. The key is used to look up a string from the selected text provider. The text provider displays a different library name for each locale it is configured for. The text that is entered in the library name field is only used if an appropriate text label is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.
6. Select a language for the library. This option can be set only on creation. You cannot change the language of a library after the library is created.
   Note: If a language does not exist in the list of languages available when you create a library, you can add that language to the list of supported WebSphere Portal languages. For more information, see Language Support in the WebSphere Portal Knowledge Center.
7. If you want to prevent the library from being deleted, select Prohibit library from being deleted.
8. Enable the library if you want to library to immediately be available.
9. Select Include default items in the new library to add a set of default web content items to the library when it is created.
10. Click OK to create the library.
11. Add the new library to the list of configured libraries for each authoring portlet that requires access to the new library, including authoring portlets on servers that you subscribe your library to. For more information, see Selecting web content libraries.
