That's a great answer! It sounds like it was done originally in a sound, future-proof way.

So CONFIG is baked into various framework bits so that the portal knows how to make the portlet APIs behave when in this mode. As a protection I believe there is a permission check associated with the ability to render a portlet in CONFIG. Give it a try, make CMS render a CONFIG portlet url, click on it and see what happens :) On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 9:00 AM, James Wennmacher <jwennmac...@unicon.net <mailto:jwennmac...@unicon.net>> wrote: More broadly, is this a case of delegated admin (e.g. for tenant-based delegated admin use case) that should be accessible for these tenant-contained sets of portlets? Do the delegated admins need to do only the rich config, full portlet configuration (add/remove porlets), or limited portlet admin (some but not all the properties configured by the Portlet Manager)?

Beyond that, a portlet might be able to just set CONFIG as the mode on a URL. I never actually tried that. Within the Portlet Manager, I know that the things that get entered/created in CONFIG mode can become a part of the portlet-definition record -- e.g. text entered in the WYSIWYG editor for SimpleCMS. That integration would still need to work. This example is actually one of the more compelling imho -- allow privilaged users to edit the content of a SimpleCMS portlet "in situ" (without going through the Portlet Manager). drew -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org <mailto:uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org> as: eric.ape...@dalquist.org <mailto:eric.ape...@dalquist.org> To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/__display/JSG/uportal-dev <http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev> -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: awi...@unicon.net To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
