Changing portal look
Using the community version (6.4.0) is it possile to change elements around in the portal. I've looked around and I've seen it's possible to change the css but I'm talking about moving elements around, more specifically, moving the processes tab to the default tab and hiding the Cases tab (at least for the momement as it's not seen as needed). Also helpful would be changing the names on the labels as the target audience although might have english speaking capabilities will not be speaking english as a first language (it'll be european portuguese)
Also, in the Tasks tab page, is it possible to make it so by double click on a process that it's executed? Finally, is it possible to change the elements on the description part of a task? (More specifically, move the "Do it" button, making it more visible to the user)
Failing this, is it possible to build my own portal page from scratch and rerouting links from the original portal to this new custom portal? If so, how would I go about fetching the processes that can be started and processes already in the way?
Thanks in advance (this is quite a big question :P) Eduardo
Hi Eduardo, Changing menus, sub-menus with different labels, ... is a built-in feature that is available in the Subscription edition. Changing the look and feel is also a Subscription feature.
Changing the behaviour or the place of a button is not a provided feature. However, you can always redevelop (part of) the Web Portal to suit any of your needs through the Business Application feature: it is a highly customizable feature that is available in Community edition from version 7.0.0 (it was already available in Subscription edition from version 6.4 too). Then reusing some of the Portal features in your own custom application is easy through the provided REST API calls. See online documentation for more details.
Hope this helps, Emmanuel.

The documentation on the REST API states that it's not for the community version, is this correct?
Yes, indeed, REST APIs ARE available in Community edition, except for a few ones only, in which case it is clearly stated in the documentation.
Although I can use the REST API is there anything stopping me from accessing the database and getting certain data from it (like the processDefinitionID of processes) ?
