Okay, that's about what I thought, we are having trouble with using one
of our portlets in transient mode. Our problem comes when we try to
include one of our portlets in our custom skin using the <channel
fname="" /> tag.
Do you mean a <channel> tag in a [fragment-]layout.xml file? That's the
customary way to do what you're after.
Here's a breakdown of how I would do this task:
- Use <xsl:value-of> somewhere within the Universality theme to place
the portlet just where I want to (see tips, emergency-alerts for examples)
- Add the portlet to a DLM fragment using a <channel> element within
a header folder (with hidden=false) within a fragment-layout.xml file
(see tips, emergency-alerts for examples)
- Make sure "allow expanded content" is turned on (for uP3; it's on
by default in uP4)
- Make sure your users are in the audience of the fragment
That's essentially it. I believe your portlet should recognize and
honor the user's state.

We added a home-grown search portlet to the layout so
all users will have access to that portlet on all of their tabs. The
default view comes up just fine but when a user actually tries to search
for something, the results are not displayed. We can workaround this by
simply adding the portlet to the users' layout which I believe causes
the portlet to not be loaded as transient.
My question is, can a transient portal have and respect states so the
search results are shown? If so, what's preventing our portlet's state
from being updated with the users' search results?

Matt,
IIRC, a transient portlet (or channel, earlier) is one that's not in
your layout. There are many circumstances where a user can
essentially 'leave' his/her layout and go instead to a specific,
named portlet. In such cases, the framework wraps the single
portlet in some form of transient layout node.

I've just spent the morning trying to understand what transient
portlets
are but haven't been able to find any complete documentation. I was
hoping someone on this list could help me better understand what the
difference is between a transient channel and a regular channel.
We are using uPortal 3.2.x.
Thanks in advance.
