I have to run off and do family things the rest of today – but I just updated the portlet – and it works swell now in uPortal 2.5 – previously it did not work so well – missing commons-collections.jar.
\nA cool new feature is that parameters in the portlet.xml can be overridden by adding preferences in the uPortal admin interface – so you should *NEVER* have to touch the portlet.xml file.
\nAnother cool feature is the mighty-morphing web.xml which works in either Pluto 1.0 or Pluto 1.1 without needing a patch – just drop into Sakai’s or uPortal’s webapps directory and let it fly!
\nTwo important parameters to set in uPortal’s channel setup are:
\nsakai.host = http:\/\/localhost:8083
\nsakai.secret = plugh-xyzzy
\nAnd another fun one is
\nsakai.allowpref = true\/false
\nIf this is set to false – the user cannot set prefs via Edit-mode. Of course in uP2 you can disable the Edit button – but for portals that show the edit button – this pref stops pref changes from happening even if users find their way into edit mode…
\nIf you want to hack look and feel – open up the war and edit “feed.vm” – a Velocity template for the output production.
\nDocumentation is coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
