Ilearned something new from my colleague Koen Van Hauwenhuyse. He showed me 2 extra querystring parameters you can add tot the portal URL so the content will be shown different.

The normal Url of the page: http://***/TSTReplacement.aspx?WCMP=TST

The Url for the rolecenter-view of the same page: http://***/TSTReplacement.aspx?WCMP=TST&RUNONCLIENT=1

The Url for the same page without any navigation: http://***/TSTReplacement.aspx?WCMP=TST&NONAV=1

You can find the logic behind this in the masterpage that Sharepoint is using. The masterpages can be found under C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12TEMPLATEFEATURESDynamicsAxEnterprisePortaldefaultax.master.

In the beginning of this file you see the methods runningOnClient() and hideNavigation():
