[uportal-dev] PROPOSAL: Enhance uPortal+DLM to support URLs that target tabs directly

2008-01-31 Thread Drew Wills
Hey folks, I've been asked by JHU to implement a "deep-linking" feature for their portal: essentially, they want to be able to link directly to a specific tab from another web application. I have the sense that a lot of folks would be interested in this feature. I know I've been asked abou

Drew, I recently wrote a proof-of-concept dlm processor that will link someone directly to a maximized version of a portlet. At the time, I was thinking... it would be easy to do something similar to navigate folks directly to a tab, or if you had anchors above each portlet, you could naviga
