Re: [uportal-dev] Portlet Administration Portlet Update (UP-2047)
I think you misunderstand what I'm getting at. If you have an existing portal you want to upgrade to uPortal 3.2 when it comes out. And if you have existing channels that *you* added that did not conform to the new naming conventions, then they would not import properly. I guess we can simply tell people they'll have to hand edit their channel files, before they reimport, but that seems kind of like a poor workaround.

[uportal-dev] Portlet Administration Portlet Update (UP-2047)
Hi all, The new Portlet Administration Portlet described by JIRA entry UP-2047 is now in the trunk, and I believe we've updated it to include all features currently available in CChannelManager.

Does anyone have an objection to making this new portlet the default portlet administration tool sometime in the near future? Are there features you rely on in CChannelManager that don't appear to be included in the new portlet?

Re: [uportal-dev] Portlet Administration Portlet Update (UP-2047)
+1 for removing the old CChannelManager and switching over to the new one in trunk. I don't say this lightly either. I know there is some risk here, but I think this is a HUGE improvement and is worth the risk.

Re: [uportal-dev] Portlet Administration Portlet Update (UP-2047)
+1 as well. If we can perhaps get this switch done by the end of next week I could get a 3.2.0-M1 release and quickstart (before I disappear into a 3 week vacation in June) to give people a chance to play with the new portlet manager and provide feedback. -Eric Cris J Holdorph wrote: +1 for removing the old CChannelManager and switching over to the new one in trunk.
