edit_defaults custom portlet mode
---------------------------------
Key: JS2-634
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-634
Project: Jetspeed 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Customizer, PSML
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Vitaly Baranovsky
There is a wish for implementing "edit_defaults" custom portlet mode as
descripted in JSR168 portlet specification:
----------------------------------------------------------
PLT.A.3 Edit_defaults Portlet Mode
The edit_defaults portlet mode signifies that the portlet should render a
screen to set the default values for the modifiable preferences that are
typically changed in the EDIT screen. Calling this mode requires that the user
must have administrator rights. Therefore, only the portal can create links for
changing the portlet mode into edit_defaults.
Portlet developers should implement the edit_defaults portlet mode
functionality by
overriding the doDispatch method of the GenericPortlet class and checking for
PortletMode("edit_defaults ").
In the deployment descriptor the support for the edit_defaults portlet mode
must be
declared using
<portlet-app>
...
<portlet>
...
<supports>
...
<portlet-mode> edit_defaults </portlet-mode>
</supports>
...
</portlet>
...
<custom-portlet-mode>
<name> edit_defaults </name>
</custom-portlet-mode>
...
</portlet-app>
-----------------------------------------------------------
There is number of situations when there is need of different default
preferences for same portlet type. There is a problem to change default
preferences by administrator now. Because he must to edit psml files manually,
without graphical interface.
For example, i want my portal shows to all users rss feeds from bbc and cnn
with RSS Portlets at main page of my portal. But administrators of my portal
needs to know psml format to change read-only preferences, and they can't do it
thru grafical interface.
So, I think, many people wishes for edit_defaults portlet mode.
So, this jira record is wish for edit_defaults portlet mode
