Daphne,
First off, I think you will want to test on the latest version of the
Layout Reorderer / uPortal integration. It looks like the Fluid build
site
(http://build.fluidproject.org/uPortal/render.userLayoutRootNode.uP) is
not up-to-date, at least on the uPortal side. Maybe Simon from UBC
could chime in on that? It would be of most benefit to test against the
uPortal trunk, which is the in-development 3.1 version.
As for the Announcement portlet, the Fluid build site uses the
out-of-the-box uPortal configuration. Out-of-the-box, uPortal does not
include an Announcements portlet in the layout of any of the default
users. That is because out-of-the-box uPortal does not have an
Announcements portlet registered in the system. In other words, one
would have to be in the environment you plan to test in.
Then there is the issue of how often the Fluid build environment updates
(re-builds). I believe that each time it re-builds, it will return
uPortal to the out-of-the-box state, but someone else can probably speak
to that with more authority.
In summary:
1. Need a newer build of uPortal/Layout Reorderer (Simon?)
2. Need to create an Announcements portlet in the Student layout (Gary -
I can show you how to do it, or set it up for you)
3. Determine when the environment is re-built to as to be sure that your
testing setup is not squashed prior to the test (Justin?)
I'd be glad to help.

Is it possible to add another portlet to the uPortal mock-up? Our
user testing protocols assume there is an announcement portlet at the
bottom of the page which isn't in this version. I started to edit the
protocol but it basically changes everything so I thought I'd check to
see how difficult it would be to get that portlet added.
Thanks!

Hi Daphne,
I have updated the link on the page you mentioned, so it should be
working now.
As for build, I think you may have looked at the uPortal demo, which
is an instance that was pulled from the uPortal trunk. For that one,
you need to login (info provided in one of the portlets e.g.
demo/demo) before you are able to reorder anything. The link that I
placed on your page is for our uPortal mock-up which includes an
ImageReorderer portlet and an inline edit field in the Bookmarks portlet
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Howdy!
I'm working on updating user testing protocols for the next round of
user testing -- much of which will likely be done at Landmark
College. The test environment on latest Layout Reorder protocol
(http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Layout+Reorderer+User+Testing+-+Round+3)
points to a 404 error:
http://build.fluidproject.org/fluid/sample-code/reorderer/portal/portal.html
I looked on build and when I go to the uPortal layout reorderer demo
there I can't seem to reorderer anything.
Anyone know what's going on with either of these?
