Moving this uportal-dev... This is a great feature, one I've wanted for a long time. I'm glad it's available and it's going to make our portal that much better.
But I have a few questions about how uPortal eventually decides which title to use for a portlet publication. I think I understand the flow for determining the portlet title. But it seems like the value of the name/title in the channel-definition is being left out when it comes to published instances of portlets. I understand that there is a parameter you can use to disable the portlet titles entirely and use the channel name instead. But this is completely separated from the portlet in this instance (you either use it or you don't). What's keeping publication titles from being used when determining the title of a portlet or publication? In other words, merge it as a fallback into the conditional chain that is in place now. As it is now: MyPortlet.render or MyPortlet.doXXX->RenderResponse.setTitle(), GenericPortlet.render->RenderResponse.setTitle(), portlet.xml->portlet-name value. As it could be: MyPortlet.render->RenderResponse.setTitle(), GenericPortlet.render->RenderResponse.setTitle(), Publication Title, portlet.xml->portlet-name value.
