Of course. This job was done by my colleague Vedran, he can give more
details next week (unbelievable, but he's on vacation :-)
In general you can store the URLs, which should be related to the buttons,
inside of the registry using the structure described below. The problem
is to transport this value up to the portlet control, because there you
have to render the HTML code for the buttons. That means that you have to
extend the schema of the registry-PSML with these tags and run Castor
(urgh!!!)
to create the resulting classes. They are responsible to transport the
values
inside of the registry to the upper layers. Inside of the control you
can then call methods similar to
getPortlet().getPortletConfig().getEditURL()
to retrieve the value of the registry and attach this URL to the HTML code
of the button.
We use the same way to transport the security settings to the upper layers.
As a result our code to generate the buttons looks similar to:
if ( this.getPortlet().getAllowMaximize() )
{
String maxURL = this.getPortlet ( ).getPortletConfig ( ).getMaxURL (
);
.....
A max = new A( maxURL )
.addElement( new IMG( MAX_IMAGE ).setBorder( 0 )
.setWidth( 16 )
.setHeight( 14 ) );
....
}
Hope that helps,
Marcus
