[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: new window behaviour since last night

2005-04-15 Thread mholzner
sorry this is a result of the changes I checked in yesterday. I guess I should 
have explained those better ahead of everyone running into them ;)

I had a hard time to get rid of the old behavior, where the portlet in 'main' 
was automatically maximized. Since maximized now actually works ;) the results 
were weird. 
The current state is not quite final, but it shouldn't change much anymore. I 
still have to get rid of the 'main' concept, and make it a region just like any 
other region, but that requires me to rewrite the jsps, and that is a bigger 
effort. Anyway, unless there are any objections, the behavior will pretty much 
stay the way it is now. 

Configurability: yes, this is configurable. The Layout strategy allows you to 
change window states, filter portlets to be rendered, move portlets into other 
regions, change the sort order, etc. 
You can write your own Strategy, or take the Strategy interceptor out all 
together. The strategy can be configured for each portal-layout. If there is no 
strategy defined for the current layout, then the portal's default layout 
strategy will be used (the one you see now). 

Not quite sure if I can follow 2 and 3. If you have concerns about those, 
please elaborate so I am aware of what you need / don't want to see

 I like answering my own posts

[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: new window behaviour since last night

2005-04-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I like the new behaviour. I think it is in keeping with other portal vendors 
and is more windows-like.

Point 2: The cmsportlet and forumsportlet were the default portlets in their 
assigned pages. They were always in normal mode. Since they showed nothing in 
normal mode, this needs to be changed. I will look in to this.

The important part here is that it remains configurable, either by a deployer 
or end-user. I'd like to see exactly how configurable it can be. For instance, 
when I maximize a portlet, can I still have side-bar navigation to its left? 
Some people may elect to not have top/bottom navigational elements, but have a 
consistent navigation along the side.

The Layout Strategy lets you ommit any portlet you want from the render 
process, and also change the region assignment of a portlet for the duration of 
the request. So you could do something like: exclude all portlets other than 
the maximized one, and all portlets in the nav or head region.
Or, you could move the maximized portlet into the maximized region, and all 
other portelts into the left region.  
The strategy lets you also  point to another jsp or servlet in the same layout 
to generate the markup. So you could have a normal.jsp and a maximized.jsp. In 
case there is a maximized portlet in the current request, the strategy tells 
the layout to use the maximized.jsp, otherwise to use the normal.jsp
