Hi,
This feature it exciting and timely for us. Great work.
I'm I right in thinking that there will be a concept of pushed
favorites? i.e. the set one gets at first login, based on group?
It might be nice if you could also favorite any web content. We might
push common external links such as our LMS and Email (OWA). Also we
could migrate uses BookmarksPortlet content.
I like the idea of a hybrid UI where we keep our existing tabs but push
the favorites portlets to the home tab. I think for this to work well
the portlet lookup approaches (gallery vs edit favorites) would need to
be merged.
Although I think the one-portlet-at-a-time-maximized-centric view is
prevailing (due I think to the mobile first approach that really
de-clutters the old dashboard world).
It pains me to move away from what was, the primary reason for adopting
portlet technology in the first place. Having said this, the case for
"uPlatform" is still very strong.
A home tab with favorites plus notifications/calendar/news in my mind
would allow us to keep some "portal like" features. Also if the
favorites portlet was "badge number" aware or broadcast some useful
portlet event for future extension/innovation then we really begin to
leverage the portlet paradigm.
Finally my thoughts in this area lead me to think about a custom window
state like the windows 8 tile. So this would be like a favorites portlet
on steroids can actually render favorite-ed portlets in a well-defined
"small and simple" UI container.

Hi All,
Favorites development is coming along.
There's now a wiki page for documenting:
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Favorites
There's a feature branch for the favorites portlet:
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/tree/UP-3896
and a feature branch off of that feature branch for the un-favoriting
capability:
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/tree/unfavorite_from_favorites_portlet
That un-favoriting bit is feeling ready for merge into the favorites
feature branch (with some technical debt noted), so it's now an
eminently reviewable and feed-back-able pull request:
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/203
Kind regards,
Andrew

Hi All,
At UW-Madison we have started creating a favourite framework portlet.
It is a different way to view tabs. I've attached some screen shots of
the initial landing page. We do plan on putting this into the master
jasig branch soon.
