Hi Gary,
The site looks great.
I am noticing a bunch of jQuery is not a function errors though. Not
sure if this is something wrong with our build or if you haven't
gotten to that part yet.
Thanks
Justin

Now that the Fluid daily build pulls from the uPortal trunk, you can
see what has been done there:
http://build.fluidproject.org/uPortal
http://build.fluidproject.org/uPortal/media/skins/universality/common/css/fluid/fluid.fss.min.css
http://build.fluidproject.org/uPortal/media/skins/universality/common/css/fluid/fluid.layout.min.css
http://build.fluidproject.org/uPortal/media/skins/universality/uportal3/fluid.theme.uportal3.min.css
The CSS and JS files are all minimized, so you may need access to
the source files to really make sense of them.
As a summary:
1. FSS is linked to in the head of the portal document
2. The portal layout was converted to use FSS divs for layout
instead of tables
3. The portal main navigation was converted to use FSS tabs
4. I had to extend/modify fluid.layout.css to achieve the portal
layout
5. The default skin "uportal3" was completely re-written based off
of the mist theme and should generally comply with FSS themes
Still to be done:
1. Need a solution for portlet content that is larger than its
parent container.
Initially, setting overflow to scroll may be the best start, but it
would be great to have a way for institutions to specify that a
portlet (and thus its parent container - i.e. column) force to the
portlet content width even though it might otherwise exceed the
parent container width. You can see the effect if you reduce the
width of your browser window on either the admin or student welcome
tab - eventually the image in the "XX welcome portlet" exceeds the
width of its portlet container and bleeds out into the next column.
Some of the burden will have to fall on institutions to update their
content accordingly, but for greatest 3.1 adoption, it would be good
to have something to offer as a solution.
2. Verify the integrity of the uportal3 theme
It got rather heated and hairy last week to get things finished. I
am not sure that everything is as clean and good as it could be. I
know for sure that I did not wrap back around and update the theme
color schema. A code review of the uportal3 theme CSS would be
fantastic.
3. Determine if there is anything from the uPortal FSS
implementation that should be folded back into FSS for the next
release.
There is a concept of widget in FSS that might map directly to
portlet in uPortal. There is a concept of a block in uPortal that
might map to a widget or similar in FSS. There are probably others.
4. Implement UI Options.
I plan on including a link labeled My Preferences in the Customize
My Portal links (in the right sidebar when logged in) that invokes
UI Options. I had hoped to add that in for the 3.1 release, but
didn't get to it, and am not sure of it being default when UI
Options is still considered Beta.
