Thanks Randy. Let's see ... I currently have a corporate web site that has general info on my company (about us, contact us, history, etc) ... I've made that my "public" psml page. So as per your suggestion, I'll try and place the psml for this page under the "/pages/_user/guest/" folder. Somewhere in the layout of that page, I also have a login portlet. Now when a "guest" user logs in (and the role changes), I need the user to be routed to a sub-site (with its own distinct decorators/layouts/portlets) custom tailored to that user's "role". For example, I have several basic user classes ... customer, marketing, sales, csr, administrator, etc. I'd like to have a distinct subsite for each of these roles. Each subsite should have a distinct look 'n feel ... so implementing these subsites as "subfolder" links off some "root" portal is not an option ... the subsite should "be" the new "root" folder once a user logs in. Of course its not that simple ... some users (owners), may have multiple "roles" (ie: sales & marketing). In those cases, I'd like to map the user either to a subsite that provides a combo view of the role's portlets ... or provide some kind of "default" role based on the log in. In other words have the user mapped to the role with the highest privileges. Make sense ... or I am rambling?
PS: Sorry about not reading through the email archive for J2, that usually the first thing I do before posting a question ... but I couldn't find a link to it off the portals web site. Does an email archive even exist for jetspeed 2? - Frank -----Original Message----- From: Randy Watler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 11:57 AM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: Re: Default Home Pages Frank, There are many "nice" ways to accomplish this with J2 using the Profiler. Custom home pages per user, group, or role are easily supported. One can also select different home pages using different profiling rules. Once you get used to using the profiler, it is fairly powerful and flexible. In your scenario, I'd suggest placing the "public" home page in .../pages/_user/guest/default_page.psml. Depending on the profiling rule you wish to use, you can also place other home pages in .../pages/_role/*/default_page.psml and/or .../pages/_group/*/default_page.psml. There are plenty of examples of profiling in the J2 demo site... default page profiling is treated the same as any other page as far as the Profiler is concerned. There is a document in the profiler design-docs that discusses the J2 Profiler and Page Manager functionality. There have also been plenty of emails on the topic to this list. In the spirit of expanding this email collection, I'd be happy to help you select a profiling strategy that will meet your needs. Please provide more detail on how you'd like to segregate pages on your site by user, roles, and groups and we'll see how far the Profiler can take you!
