If you run the demo, you will see the Pick A Number portlet with 4
actions:
Help
Print
Max
Min
After logging on as admin, you get five:
Help
Print
Max
Min
Edit
The visibility of the actions is dependent on:
1. the deployment descriptor (portlet.xml). You need to specify which
modes you support
here is the definition for the Pick A Number portlet:
<supports>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
<portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
<portlet-mode>HELP</portlet-mode>
<portlet-mode>EDIT</portlet-mode>
<!-- support custom print mode -->
<portlet-mode>print</portlet-mode>
</supports>
and also in the security constraints or security permissions defined
for your page, or fragment on a page
Taking the demo page example has:
<security-constraints>
<security-constraints-ref>public-view</security-constraints-ref>
</security-constraints>
which is defined as:
<security-constraints-def name="public-view">
<security-constraint>
<users>*</users>
<permissions>view</permissions>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<roles>admin</roles>
<permissions>view, edit</permissions>
</security-constraint>
</security-constraints-def>

I had two basic theories on this:
1- That the number of action icons was limited to 4
2- That there was a bug in the Jetspeed code that was preventing the
display of the help icon when print is enabled.
I have removed the edit icon from some of my portlets and left the
print
icon, and the help button did not reappear, so I guess it is indeed a
bug.
What I see in the jetspeed-macros.vm, the actions come from the
layoutDecoration, which is loaded via the theme parameter in the
request. And apparently, that theme parameter isn't getting set with
the HELP action.
Now, does anyone know a quick workaround for this? My users will be
very disappointed if they gain reporting functionality only to lose
their contextual help.
Thanks,
Jennifer

If you use velocity then it is generated by the macro PortletActionBar
for each portlet decoration (e.g. decorations/portlet/decorator.vm).
The macro definition resided in WEB-INF/jetspeed-macros.vm

Can anyone tell me where the portlet icons get drawn? I have looked
around but didn't see anything in the velocity templates.

I have several portlet windows that are supposed to support modes:
VIEW,
EDIT, HELP as well as PRINT. The print mode works great, but now I
don't get a help icon anymore. Anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks,
Jennifer
