Hey folks,
As I mentioned a few minutes ago in uportal-user & portlet-user, I'd
like to bundle the Jasig Email Preview portlet with the uPortal platform...
*****
It's a really sharp portlet, and I hope it will help uPortal make a good
impression with potential adopters by building on the notion that
uPortal comes with many compelling portlets "out of the box."
With this purpose in mind, a new Service (data source) implementation
has been added to Email Preview: DemoAccountService. This service
doesn't access emails over IMAP, POP, SOAP, or through any other
customary means. It loads a collection of "demo" emails from a JSON
file contained in the project itself. In this way, it can give example
users -- like admin, student,and staff -- the experience of entering the
portal and immediately seeing their "INBOX." No setup or configuration
required. All the nice Email Preview features work with this service
implementation: view message, mark seen/unseen, delete, etc. But the
collection is a user-specific copy, so when the user logs in again (or
another user logs in) the INBOX will be "reset" to the original contents.
*****
The new 1.1.0 release includes these features.
I'd like to do an overlay, a demo portlet-definition, and put the
portlet on the example layout(s).
Any thoughts?
