Hey all,

So, I've been looking everywhere it seems for where the actual portal files are located. I want to change the actual file name of one of my portals and not just the title. Does anyone here know where I should look so I can do this?

Thanks in advance!

So there isn't a way to change the actual portal name (not just the title of the portal)?

Does anyone know if I can change the portal name?

Thanks!

I've had trouble with Save As when using Change Management to deploy from Dev to Prod - something goes wrong - the names match but the IDs don't...

Sometimes what is directly in front of us is the hardest thing to see Smiler

Apart from that, I had someone ask the exact same thing recently. Wasn't happy that the displayed name could be changed, but wanted the name in the URL to reflect what the Portal was about. Quite rightly too in my opinion!

True that Tony. I don't mind the ability to have a title in addition to a file name with content that goes into the portals, but I don't believe it helps for actual portals. It just causes frustration on the individual that doesn't want something like "test_portal" showing up in their URL like you were describing.

I hope we don't have that issue if we attempt migrations later on Francis. If you are not on 8.1 then we may be safe. I remember having migration issues back in 8.0.09. Haven't had such since 8.1.04.
