Marketplace portlet

Info

This page is still in progress - more to come.

The marketplace portlet is a new way for users to find content faster and easier.  Presented similarly to mobile app stores, users can search, review, and see more about an portlet than ever before.

This can be used in conjunction with the gallery/customize drawer or can serve as a replacement.

...

Version History is added via portlet preferences in your portlet entity file.  See example values below.

 

Code Block
<portlet-preference>

...


     <name>Version</name>
     <readOnly>true</readOnly>
     <value>1.0.0</value>

     <value>Adds the ability to have Screenshots</value>
     <value>Adds the ability for version notes</value>
     <value>Search works</value>
     <value>See your favorite apps</value>
</portlet-preference>

 

The only portlet-preference needed is Version.  Without this, the release date and release notes won't show.  If for some reason, the value in version is left blank, this section will not show.

...

Release Notes is optional and also can be of any length.  After 3 notes, the front end will not show until the more button is clicked on the entry page.  When clicked, all notes will be shown and the link will change text to 'Less'.  When clicked, this will once again hide the extra notes, and the text will once again display 'More'.  If any value is blank, a blank line with a dash will appear.
