James,

JW> Please let me know if any of these don't warrant an issue.

They all warrant an issue.



Treating each of your bullet points:

1. Multi-favorite!

Issue: Adding a portlet as a favorite via the gear menu doesn't update 
that menu to switch to "Remove Favorite" without a refresh, and allows 
multiply adding the favorite though that doesn't make any conceptual sense.

Status: This is a "known issue" in the sense that it's known to 
Wisconsin and I think it's backlogged locally here, and we almost 
certainly can't go to production without fixing it.  Would be great to 
have an entry in Jasig JIRA for that as well.

2. Removing from favorites removes from the wrong place!

Issue: Remove from Favorites instead removes from layout under some 
circumstances.

Status: Also a "known issue" in the sense that it's known to Wisconsin 
and I think backlogged locally here, and we almost certainly can't go to 
production beta without fixing it.  Would also be great to have an entry 
in Jasig JIRA for that.

3. Unable to return from favorites collection

Issue: There's no navigation to return from favorites collection.

Status: Eh.  Here at Wisconsin we've customized the portal logo to be 
clickable to return to the landing screen.  Out of the box uPortal 
should probably have that same feature.  But more generally the display 
of focused-on collections-of-favorites needs love -- it's just a very 
basic chrome for that now.

4. Unable to add favorite in IE

Issue: Adding favorites doesn't work in all browsers.

Status: Eh.  There's some issues with that in the queue to triage here , 
but we're also looking to make some decisions about what browsers to 
support.  Which versions of IE are we talking?  What are the target 
browsers for uPortal 4.1 anyway?  Here at MyUW, we've got some 
interesting strata of browser usage from the Google Analytics, and 
realistically we may need to decide that we just don't support the 
very-low-usage browsers and instead implement some kind of suggestion 
that the relatively few users affected by such a policy try another, 
preferred browser.  Maybe.  Not fully figured out yet.


Favorites is pretty rough and will ship pretty darn rough in uPortal 4.1 
initially.  Probably should call that out in the release notes and 
position it as, hey, exciting new feature, but very rough and think of 
it as "beta".
