[09:05:56 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> athena: good morning
[09:06:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> morning (yes, EDT here)
[09:07:11 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> The clock is 15.07 here (Sweden)
[09:07:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah
[09:07:30 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> I'm trying out jasig-widget-portlets
[09:07:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh, cool
[09:07:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you may be the first to do so
[09:07:46 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz>
[09:08:06 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> they are very nice
[09:08:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> great! i'm glad
[09:08:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> they could still use some polishing, especially the edit UIs
[09:08:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> my hope is to keep them small and focused, with only a few config options
[09:08:51 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> yes, that is a nice approach
[09:08:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena> for some of the portlets, if someone wants more powerful config options we already have other portlets that overlap
[09:09:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'd love to just have some easily install-able default content
[09:09:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena> if you have ideas for improvements or notice bugs, definitely let me or the list know
[09:09:23 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> My portal administrator want to have the Google RSS portlet in our production portal
[09:09:35 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh cool
[09:09:36 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> yes
[09:09:43 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> I have som questions
[09:09:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i sort of like the fact that you can search for new feeds
[09:09:46 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sure
[09:10:32 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> When I add the Google RSS portlet to a portal tab, some of the javascript functionality on that tab seems to break (for us at least)
[09:10:49 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> I can't edit the tab layout
[09:10:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> which version of uportal are you using?
[09:11:04 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> 3.0
[09:11:18 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Have you noticed this? Or could this have something to with our custom theme+skin
[09:11:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena> no that's not surprising
[09:11:54 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Ok, uPortal 3.1 is needed?
[09:11:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> well, not really
[09:12:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> basically we need to make the portlets configurable so that you can choose whether jQuery is imported by the portlets, and choose whether to use jQuery's noConflict mode
[09:12:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena> for uportal 3.1 we adopted a new strategy for handling javascript
[09:13:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena> which basically involves using noConflict aggressively in the portal itself, and asking each portlet to import jQuery itself, and clear the $ and jQuery variables so that the next portlet will have a clean slate
[09:13:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but uportal 3.0 assumes the portlets will use its version of jQuery
[09:15:59 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ok, so I need to modify the Google RSS portlet so that it doesn't include jQuery, instead it should use the one provided by uPortal?
[09:16:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah that would work
[09:16:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you probably need to modify it to not include jquery and jquery ui
[09:16:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and then not have it call jQuery.noConflict
[09:17:44 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ok
[09:17:46 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> thanx
[09:18:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sure
[09:18:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena> let me know if you have problems with it
[09:18:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i can't think of anything specific that portlet is using that will require a more recent version of jquery
[09:21:08 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ok, I will try to make it work in our portal
[09:22:15 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> athena: it is really a very good initiative, to create the jasig-widget-portlets suit
[09:28:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'm really glad you like it
[09:29:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'd love to get them cleaned up enough to ship with uportal someday

[10:09:51 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> for the logs: I have a patch to make the Google RSS portlet work with uPortal 3.0
[10:11:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and for public completeness, we need to add some sort of config option so that adopters won't need to patch
[10:12:08 EDT(-0400)] <athena> really i'd like to find a way that we can handle it similarly in other jasig portlets as well
[10:21:48 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> athena: what is these images linked under the famfamfam path? They are not in svn.
[10:21:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, ok
[10:22:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena> they need to get added
[10:22:08 EDT(-0400)] <athena> thanks for pointing that out
[10:22:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the other half of the work we did for 3.1 was to add all javascript and image standard library stuff to a new webapp
[10:22:46 EDT(-0400)] <athena> it's job is just to serve up properly-gzipped, cached static content
[10:23:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but for people who aren't running uportal 3.1 we've been adding things to the portlet itself
[10:23:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so we can do that for the widgets portlets
[10:23:49 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ah, ok
[10:25:35 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> there is some logic in the rs tag for that I guess?
[10:26:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah, basically
[10:26:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> it checks for the /ResourceServingWebapp context
[10:26:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and if it's not found, serves the resource from the local webapp
[10:26:56 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ok
[10:27:29 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so if we put those images in the magic place in the /rs directory, they'll show up even if you don't have the ResourceServingWebapp installed
[10:27:39 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> yes
[10:28:08 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Can you put the images in jasig-widget-portlets svn repo?
[10:28:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yes
[10:28:44 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> fine!
[10:28:51 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Time to go home.
