Re: [uportal-dev] How to make the help page to appear in a detached page

[Andrew Petro]

The Academus product has a mechanism for mapping help to arbitrary external URLs.  Once it's not the channel/portlet responding to a help event/mode, then the same theme-side _javascript_ that implements window detaching could apply here. Jira issue UP-1820 describes this Academus feature and the desire and efforts of Shawn Lonas to migrate this feature into uPortal (in a way that does not impact existing channels and portlets that do wish to implement that event/mode). This may more or less exactly meet your need if external (presumably static, certainly static URL'ed) help fits the bill.  Or are you really looking for programmatically-implemented help that happens to be detached into a new window?  That's a lot harder, particularly if it's to be implemented right.  I believe JSR-168 envisions an approach of there being multiple views on (Portlet Windows) a single portlet subscription, so in theory the portal could fork out a new server-side window to display in that new client-side browser window.  In practice, I bet that's a lot of work to get working. Andrew I would like the help page to appear in a detached window rather than in the portlet pane.
