Add columns to OmniPortlet

I had some questions about the limitation to 5 columns of the OmniPortlet tabular layout. Here is a tip to add more columns to this layout:

1. backup the current OmniPortlet provider.xml
/OC4J_HOME/applications/portalTools/omniPortlet/WEB-INF/providers/omniPortlet

2. You can not open the file:
and look for the tag <dataField

3. You can add new fields, by copying the existing <dataField> tag and change the value of the <name> and <displayName>

  <!-- Here is a complete example -->
  <dataField class="oracle.webdb.reformlet.definition.DataFieldDefinition">

    <name>Field6</name>
    <displayName>Column6</displayName>
    <description>Field6</description>
    <text>##column##</text>

    <alignment>left</alignment>
    <displayAs>hidden</displayAs>
    <type>linebreak</type>
    <font>Arial.3.Plain.None</font>

    <color>#000000</color>
    <style>none</style>
    <styleType>custom</styleType>
  </dataField>

  <!-- end of the example -->

The same logic could be used to add parameters or events to the OmniPortlet.p>
