Does the portlet container really provide every styleclass that is necessary for Trinidad components to look like they normally look?
I'm just thinking that what is currently being done is not enough to have the full skinning features available, and that going the direction of adding the CSS dynamically would allow to do so. regards, Martin On 7/26/07, Scott O'Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey Martin, Does the simple-portlet skin render any better? I *THINK* that when running in a portal environment you always get the simple-portlet skin unless your portal provides one of the necessary skin extensions which, right now, it trinidad proprietary. Maybe this is just a case of us needing to bug-fix the portlet skin. That article is interesting, but I think that Trinidad has attempted to do the same thing only in a different way. Instead of using javascript to copy in the styles, we actually change the class names that get rendered on the client to use the portal styles where appropriate. Still, I'm not sure that this has been tested extensively because before we started looking at 301, much of Trinidad's portal work has been done with a Proof of Concept environment.
