You have my +1 in support of your bid for commitership. Andrew most of my work has been involved in the rendering pipeline. as andy mentioned, i did some significant analysis and troubleshoot to arrive at a solution to the 1040 fix. in addition, i have made some significant accomplishments in creating accessible themes in alm, which i plan to convert and commit to dlm. there are a few other internal improvements that i have made to help facilitate channel publishing, particularly as it relates to adding additional servers to an existing cluster. these are also items that i will look to contribute back to the community by implementing in future releases of uportal.

[uportal-dev] Pruning the list of uPortal committers
Eric, Are folks who haven't yet migrated their credentials to SVN no longer committers, or are they latent committers who have not yet addressed an annoying bit of administrivia? Given the fun this weekend of getting Susan's SVN access figured out again, and that she definitely qualifies as a core commiter and an active contributor to present efforts, I think we should take care not to be too hasty to prune out folks who haven't made the jump. Andrew Thanks Andy.

[uportal-dev] 2.4.2-derived ALM maintenance branch
uPortal developers, A client [1] has been generous enough to throw me a few [2] hours to work on ALM diagnostics, error detection, and bugfixing, with an especial need to apply these changes to 2.4.2. I'd like to create a 2-4-2-alm-maint exploratory branch for the purpose of sharing this maintenance code. I hope this will be of interest and use to fewer and fewer uPortals as folks migrate to DLM, but since this is maintenance of uPortal itself it seems to me to belong in uPortal source control. Andrew [1]: I dislike that cloak and dagger some client, somewhere allusion probably even more than you do, and I'll see about giving credit where credit is due on any fruits of this labor. More openness is better. Unfortunately, it's not always clear how much it is acceptable to share when. [2]: Don't expect the realization of all ALM hopes and dreams ever had out of this effort -- it's a very few hours involved. However, with a maintenance branch to explore mitigating issues in ALM in older uPortal environments, there's a place for continued collaboration on this if desired. -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
Re: [uportal-dev] 2.4.2-derived ALM maintenance branch
Eric, The branch would be ad-hoc -- for the specific purpose of exploring ALM maintenance against uPortal 2.4.2, and not for other general fixes. I expect it would be temporary in that over time people will care about ALM maintenance less and less, having moved on to DLM and bigger and better things. I'm not volunteering to merge this code into the real ongoing 2-4-patches branch. I'd be open to doing that work if it proves desirable. Presently I'm looking to do the simplest thing that could possibly work to do uPortal 2.4.2 ALM triage in an open way. Downsides of patching up the existing 2-4-patches branch include: having to patch up this deployment to latest 2-4-patches or having to deal with unrelated differences since 2.4.2. Presumably valuable but not the present project. The ALM-specific exploratory branch is not guaranteed to be backwards compatible and countenances more daring changes. Its purpose is different from that of 2-4-patches. Andrew Would this branch be temporary and eventually the code is merged into the 'real' 2.4 and 2.5 branches or would this stick around for a while? What are the downsides of just patching up the existing 2.4 branch? -Eriuc Andrew Petro wrote: uPortal developers, A client [1] has been generous enough to throw me a few [2] hours to work on ALM diagnostics, error detection, and bugfixing, with an especial need to apply these changes to 2.4.2.

Re: [uportal-dev] Purging a Channel from all layouts
Another approach would be to change the layout manager (or ??) to remove the channel from the layout as it builds it instead of substituting the channel not found error. We talked about doing this but decided against it. Susan Andrew Petro wrote: Philip, It might be best to write some Java code to actuate the layout management API to load each user's layout, change it as you desire, and save it again. This would make a very nice addition to the channel manager -- perhaps a button to Remove this channel from all user layouts. Andrew PS: I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the approach in the sandbox uPortal code of storing layout fragments as really wide database columns containing the layout XML instead of representing each node as a database row is a very good idea -- it's probably just as performant if not more performant for real uses, and it's a whole lot simpler to understand and code against. I suspect that if layout storage were implemented this way, you'd be done with this remove-a-channel-from-everyone's-layout task already. I'm looking for a way to purge a channel from both the channel registry and all layouts it is contained in. Deleting a channel in ChannelManager gives 'Channel not found' errors in any layouts that already had the channel. Deleting the record directly from the LAYOUT_STRUCT table seems to completely ruin that users layout. (I've done deluser on myself a few times now.) Are there multiple tables that would need to be changed in order to not destroy the layout? Thanks Phil ps. Sorry, if there is some simple solution to this, and I'm completely over thinking the problem! -- It's no use trying to be clever--we are all clever here; just try to be kind--a little kind. -- F.J.
