Hi Nic The portal site is being developed in "partnership" so, to a certain extent I can influence how the portal is going to work. However, I do want a "best practice" soloution that can be easily be extended in the future if necessary. If getting this to work is dependant on being able to influence the code of the portal then I think I need to go back to the drawing board, since I may not be able to influence any other portal partnerships in the future.
