sorry for the delay. I was tied up on another project. I sent the PSML files via separate email. We created the references up front. allowing users to create references can be a bit of a security problem. We found that you have to make the Tab hierarchical into to get the permissions to work correctly
We really think that the entire PSML process in jetspeed needs to be redesign. There really isn't a easy way in jetspeed to the following mix of things for individual panes for a user. 1) allow user to have total control of a pane's layout and portlets 2) allow user to have control of a pane's layout and portlets but make certain portlets required. layout flexible for all portlets. 3) allow user to have control of a pane's layout and portlets but make certain portlets required. layout fixed for mandatory portlets but flexible for other portlets (while respecting mandatory portlet constraints) 4) forced portlet layout on a pane. 5) ability to have required and optional panes. And for all of these the administrators needs to be able to add/delete/change the mandatory portlet , layout, and pane configurations dynamically without overwriting any user specific changes (unless they conflict of course). These changes would make jetspeed's functionality closer to that of the commercial portals. boyd > -----Original Message----- > From: Dalton-1, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 12:41 PM > To: 'Jetspeed Users List' > Subject: RE: Mandatory Tab / Portlets - Jetspeed > > > I finally got Boyd's role-merging instructions to work for my > case of locking in a couple of tabs as follows: > _____________________________________________________ > KSC | myKSC / | myProject / | Help > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > The KSC and Help tabs above do not have the "edit" option > (i.e., / ).
