[11:11:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena> EricDalquist: have you used the regular web proxy portlet CPD to successfully create a portlet lately?
[11:11:12 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no
[11:11:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i can get the simple version up and running without any issues
[11:11:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, ok
[11:11:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it was completely broken in 2.0
[11:11:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> er 3.0
[11:11:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> er
[11:11:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, ok
[11:11:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> brain is not awake yet
[11:11:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ugh i hear that
[11:11:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it was completely broken in 3.1
[11:11:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but semi-fixed in 3.1.1
[11:11:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, ok
[11:11:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think i'm looking at 3.1
[11:12:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the problem is the old channel managers handling of PORTLET. channel parameters
[11:12:18 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah
[11:12:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which was removed in 3.1 when the entity files were updated to have a prefs block
[11:12:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena> maybe i should just try it in the trunk and see how it works there
[11:12:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the problem is that broke how CPDs
[11:12:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> work
[11:12:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena> gotcha
[11:12:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so hopefully if the CPDs are updated to use the new prefs support you added
[11:13:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they should work nicely in trunk
[11:13:02 EDT(-0400)] * michelled (n=team@142.150.154.193) has joined ##uportal
[11:13:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so was the channel manager not updated to recognized PORTLET. parameters as preferences?
[11:16:08 EDT(-0400)] <athena> one thing that's probably still a little ambiguous in the new portlet is handling blank parameters
[11:16:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well when I added the prefs support I removed the PORTLET. parameter support
[11:16:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'm not sure if empty strings should be persisted as such, and if the answer is different for parameters vs. preferences
[11:16:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thinking it was only used in .channel files
[11:16:39 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, ok
[11:16:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not realizing that CPDs also used it
[11:16:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i actually did add some legacy support for those parameters to the new portlet
[11:17:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:17:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> though i'm not sure multi-valued support will work for PORTLET. parameters
[11:17:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but at least some handling is there
[11:17:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it won't
[11:17:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:17:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> at least handling the single-valued case that has been there in the past is good
[11:17:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that works mostly in 3.1.1 right now
[11:17:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> cool
[11:18:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ChrisH reported an issue when going it edit a portlet with PORTLET. CPD params
[11:18:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah
[11:18:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the problem is the values are not loaded back up correctly for editing
[11:18:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> gotcha
