If you want to do it solely in the templates, my first suggestion
would be to use a parameter - that if specified, turned on the
controls (for all portlets) and if not, then hid them.
To do this, you would put an if check around the existing for each
loop.
#if ( $data.getParameters().getString("controlson","no") = "yes" )
...existing foreach loop
#end
This would default the controls to be hidden - unless the parameter
controlson was supplied and had a value of "yes"
Thus on your page you would have a link like this
/portal/controlson/yes or like this portal?controlson=yes
If they clicked on that link, the portal would re-display itself,
with the controls shown - but only for the next page.... which might
be a problem - in which case you might want to make it a session
variable and store in to/from there in the template... an exercise
left to the reader ;-)
HTH,
Chris
