Additional Colors
Someone noticed that the My VT quick start came packaged with only grey and khaki colors yet it referenced many others in the CSS file. The attached additional colors zip file provides the other colors used by My VT at Virginia Tech. Just unpack the files to the same location of your grey and khaki folders (typically <myvt-quick-start_dist>/uPortal_rel-2-4-2/webpages/media/edu/vt/portal/layout/TabPageColumn/InlineCustomization/images/). Please note that this zip archive also contains the original grey and khaki files so it will probably try to overwrite.
Using the Frame
The frame.jsp loads external content in an iframe that looks similar to the full screen channel mode. Used parameters are:
...
Publishing a Channel
At the command line, run: ant pubchan -Dchannel=<Channel Filename>
Example: ant pubchan -Dchannel=cnet-news-com.xml
Publishing Fragments
At the command line, run: ant pubfragments -DfragmentFile=<Path to Fragments File from uPortal root>
Example: ant pubfragments -DfragmentFile=/properties/al/fragment.xml
Adding a User
At the command line, run: ant md5passwd -Dusername=<Username>
Example: ant md5passwd -Dusername=bcjones
Known Bugs
- Images for folders and channels in the Content Subscriber channel do not work. The image files are licensed by VT and cannot be distributed, I have not yet updated the XSLT to point to generic versions.
- The uPortal 2.4.2 XHTML output sometimes puts a random > into the output. This is not a problem with the My VT mods, but a problem with out of the box uPortal.
