Hello all,
An issue was recently submitted to JIRA (http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-1842). To summarize the issue, in the past we have experienced some varied behavior when publishing channels, particularly when the portal was initialized. Channels would appear in unexpected places and we would have to very carefully edit the data.xml file to get everything right. Sometimes it would work right on a Windows workstation but not a Mac or Unix and vice versa. We have submitted an enhancement that overcomes this behavior. In particular, we have presented 2 options. The first was to sort the channel files in a consistent way when deploying to make sure that channel ids would match up with what we had in our data.xml. The second was to modify the channelDefinition.dtd with a new (optional) tag: CHANID. This would register a channel with the database with the given ID (e.g. <CHANID>262</CHANID> could be included in the channel publishing xml). We have been using the first option for about a year and a half now and the second since January. Both have been working fine for us. We have posted diffs of all the source files that were changed with the issue. I was hoping that even though we are at feature completeness for 2.6.1 that this could be rolled in to 2.6.1. Thanks for your consideration. -- Andy Gherna CITES, University of Illinois Senior Research Programmer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (217) 265-9490 -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
