Portal planning
Greetings to the list... I'm planning the rollout of my portal and have a question... I am planning a phased roll-out of my portal. I have big plans, but only so much time so while some of my apps are finished, I will continue to enhance the site over time. Part of what I will want to change will be customizable elements and I want to have a high degree of control over the site layout and content. So, when I add a new portlet, I want to add it to ALL users, and not just to the environment and expect users to add it themselves. So the question is, if a site has several hundred users and one wants to add a new portlet to all user's experience, do I really need to edit all user's individual PSML files? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: portlet to portlet
Jim, One suggestion, link via an action to the new portlet and pass the name of the target jsp as a parameter. This would allow you to throw the address of the target jsp through the context and catch it in your portlet. -Original Message- From: Jim Wight [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 3:42 PM To: j u Subject: portlet to portlet Hi I have a link in jsp page in a portlet and I want it to go to a jsp page in another portlet. Does anyone know how to do this? I can put both pages as one inside a portlet and link to the current page which is easy but I would like to use 2 portlets and have the second portlet be full page. The location of another portlet is determined when that portlet is added by a user. Whenever they remove and then add it again the location ID changes and links to it are lost.

RE: Cascading Menus from PSML
Hmmm, I'm not quite sure why using the customizer would be a problem.(?) I'm sure you know the environment better than me, though. In fact, I haven't had a lot of time to explore this yet. There are too many other items on my list to fix before making the site excessively pretty. Things like the session time-out behavior which is pretty hostile in the current version. But for this, what I have been looking for is just to find the whole PSML instance in the context. From there, I can navigate the Tree and grab the bits that I want to display. I haven't thought it through completely, but off the top of my head, I would: - configure my psalm as: root (CardPortletController) Home Page (RowController) - portlet1 (ClearPortletController) - portlet2 (ClearPortletController) - ... RSS (CardPortletController) - portlet3 (ClearPortletController) - portlet4 (ClearPortletController) - portlet5 (ClearPortletController) - portlet6 (ClearPortletController) Dynamic (CardPortletController) - portlet7 (ClearPortletController) - portlet8 (RowCollumnController) - portlet8.1 (ClearPortletController) - portler8.2 (ClearPortletController) - portler8.3 (ClearPortletController) - portlet9 (ClearPortletController) And I would want to build a tree of all the elements which report directly to an element that is controlled by CardPortletController. This is because it doesn't make sense to target one portlet of six that sit on the same page. So the menu based on the psml above would be Home RSS - portlet3 - portlet4 - portlet5 - portlet6 Dynamic - portlet7 - portlet8 - portlet9 As long as we can get a tree representation of the psml structure containing - parent/child relationships - portlet ids for linking - security restrictions There are many high quality dynamic menu scripts available from site like Dynamicdrive.com (no affiliation just an avid user) and one can easily create a control that will take the output from above and dump it into the js array format required by almost any of them. At least that's a first thought. Comments, critiques, identification of major gaps in logic greatly appreciated. -JP -Original Message- From: Christophe Lombart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:36 AM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: Re: Cascading Menus from PSML Cascading menu with plenty of javascript DHTML ? I'm intesting to build one for my project but it is not plannified for this month :-) Anyway, If you can work without the customizer in this case, it is not so complex to build your own, if you know javascript-DHTML, the PSML structure and the mechanism used for jetspeed controls controllers. Obviously, customizer for this kind of menu will require more time. Do you have time ? Let me know in which area you require more info, I can try to help Christophe Jonathan Porterfield wrote: Yusuf, No response from the list on this one yet.

Cascading Menus from PSML
Jetspeeders, I'm trying to generate some global DHTML menus for my site based on the current user's PSML. I've been looking at the VelocityPortletSetControl but it looks like that only will return the tabs from the current level, and for portlets only rendered within the current request. I'd like to get the tabs from from all levels, and and even those that will not be rendered by the current request. Anyone already done this? If so, do you mind sharing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers JP - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Major Implementations?
Does anyone know of any large corporate entities that are proceeding with Jetspeed implementations? I think I saw some reference to an IBM project including integration with Notes.(??) I am in charge of development of extranets for a large corporation. I am intrigued by the functionality that is emerging within Jetspeed, and am equally disappointed by the vapor-ware currently available from iPlanet, Oracle and others. However for a company with lots of cash to blow on such things, name brands tend to get things sold internally. It's the old Noone gets fired for buying IBM... scenario. Basically, I am looking for references to include in a project proposal and tool-selection justification. In addition, is there a roadmap for stabilization of the application for an initial release? I'm looking for milestones where requirements are frozen (no more scope-creep), etc ... Thanks in advance for any information. -JP - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
