[08:52:30 CDT(-0500)] <mklein21005> I'm trying to integrate Moodle with uPortal does anyone know of any documention on how to accomplish this?
[10:17:13 CDT(-0500)] <athena> mklein21005: it depends how you want to integrate
[10:17:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> we're working on a portlet right now that will be able to display some interesting summary of your course links, announcements, etc.
[10:17:50 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that'll probably have a moodle connector some time in the near future
[10:18:02 CDT(-0500)] <athena> personally i tend to like that strategy as a high-level dashboard
[10:18:04 CDT(-0500)] <athena> simple and useful
[10:18:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but you could also look at using LTI
[10:18:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> there's a basic LTI portlet for uportal
[13:41:17 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> woohoo! I have bamboo starting and interacting with an EC2 instance
[13:41:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> next is to figure out the assembly script to build a functional quickstart
[13:46:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> oh that's terrific!
[13:47:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I may need your help figuring out the new filter stuff athena
[13:47:09 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so do we need a quickstart instead of just a checkout and build?
[13:47:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well it would be a checkout and build using the quickstart assembly script
[13:47:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> copy build.properties.sample to build.properties
[13:47:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since that grabs tomcat too
[13:47:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ah gotcha
[13:47:42 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think the new filtering should actually be really straightforward
[13:47:47 CDT(-0500)] <athena> unless you're looking to add new values?
[13:47:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh nice
[13:47:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah I think that will do it
[13:48:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> for the first pass I'm going to just leave it with HSQL
[13:48:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we can figure out MySQL or Postgres later
[13:48:14 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i just set up trunk on a server for umobile and don't think i had to add any new configuration flags
[13:48:26 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah . . . first we need to make them actually work.
[13:48:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I thought postgres was working now?
[13:48:54 CDT(-0500)] <athena> has something changed recently?
[13:49:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think last time we talked about it we just punted
[13:49:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I thought we punted on oracle
[13:49:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and had postgres working
[13:49:35 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i don't have access to any oracle installs, so no idea if it's working there
[13:49:56 CDT(-0500)] <athena> latest postgres problem was that hang on initdb
[13:49:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the problem was last I tried the two were mutually exclusive
[13:50:00 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh yeah
[13:50:01 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ah
[13:50:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and then yeah, we had a different problem w/ one of the models
[13:52:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ubuntu packages install fast on ec2 ... handy that amazon hosts ubuntu repo mirros in the same data center
[14:00:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> http://ec2-50-17-2-119.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
[14:00:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok off to do a demo
[14:11:47 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> I've defined a new fragment according to instructions in the wiki, but I'm getting some strange behaviour.
[14:11:48 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM32/define+a+fragment#defineafragment-Step2%3ADefineanewfragment
[14:12:10 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> When I try to access password management after adding a new user, it crashes.
[14:12:52 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do you have an error message/stack trace you can share?
[14:13:27 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Just a sec
[14:14:33 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> http://pastebin.com/us7BDfDH
[14:15:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm ... looks like some sort of bug in cusermanager :/
[14:15:58 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Looking at the UP_PERSON_DIR table, everything looks ok.
[14:18:08 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Another issue that has cropped up is that if I use fragment administration to switch to fragment owner I created using "ant md5passwd", it works, but the "Exit fragment" thing never pops up, so I have to click "Sign out" instead.
[14:18:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the fragment owners need a different template user than normal users
[14:18:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and md5passwd just sets them up as normal users
[14:19:01 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Hmm, ok.
[14:19:16 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Then the wiki page I linked to needs some work.
[14:19:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you find the .user files for the fragment owners that come with uportal and compare them to like the student.user file you can see the difference
[14:19:34 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> It describes creating a fragment owner "library-lo"
[14:19:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> can you email the user list about that problem and just paste in our conversation here
[14:20:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> to see if someone more familiar with the page can get it cleaned up?
[14:20:10 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Sure.
[14:20:42 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Could I edit the database to make the required changes after the fact?
[14:20:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I have to run ... see everyone later
[14:20:46 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Later
[14:20:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> rickardatwork: I'm not sure
[14:20:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think so
[14:20:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> in the up_user table
[14:21:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think there is a reference to the template user
[14:21:09 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Thanks.
[14:21:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and that should be pointing to a user who is named fragmentTemplate (I think, check the default data to be sure)
[14:51:55 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> athena: I just wanted to say thank you for the tip about modifying the structure stylesheet to prevent my "hidden" portlets from coming into the theme stylesheet as <channel> elements. This fixed my missing HttpSession errors and probably increased performance as well now that useless rendering threads aren't launched.
[15:15:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> oh good
[15:15:49 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that's something that eric discovered was causing problems for us in the mobile theme in 3.2
[15:25:04 CDT(-0500)] <rickardatwork> Not sure why I didn't just filter them out in the structure stylesheet to begin with, but nonetheless, it solved my problems.
[15:27:23 CDT(-0500)] <athena> glad it's working now
[20:23:30 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> Hi Eric, this is Denny from ANU
[20:25:10 CDT(-0500)] <steveswinsburg> evening all
[20:25:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hello
[20:25:44 CDT(-0500)] <steveswinsburg> hi Eric, Denny is here with a few q's about the config mode and params
[20:25:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[20:26:15 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> Yes, it is about UP-2953
[20:26:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll do my best to answer them been a year or so since I've looked at that code
[20:27:16 CDT(-0500)] <steveswinsburg> yep UP-2953
[20:27:27 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> I learned that portletAdministrationHelper.configModeAction is called when user submit on the config page
[20:28:03 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> in package org.jasig.portal.portlets.portletadmin
[20:28:51 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> The delegation response from:
[20:28:55 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> final DelegationActionResponse delegationResponse = requestDispatcher.doAction(actionRequest, actionResponse);
[20:29:16 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> has the render parameters set by the portlet.
[20:29:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> they are in the DelegationActionResponse?
[20:29:49 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> The question is how to transfer these render parameters back to the portlet config page.
[20:30:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah ok .. so I'm assuming they are in "public IPortalUrlBuilder getRenderUrl()"
[20:30:15 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> yes, they are in delegationResponse.getRenderUrl().getParameters();
[20:31:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm, seems like a deficiency in the delegation API that there isn't just a way to include everything in the delegationResponse.getRenderUrl in the render URL that is generated for the parent ...
[20:31:52 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> I am not familiar with Spring Web Flow. So, I tried to pass the render parameter from the RenderUrl to externalContext.getNativeResponse(), but it does not work.
[20:32:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah you could try doing actionResponse.setRenderParameters() but I'm not sure if webflow would just end up overwriting that later
[20:33:14 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> I did that...
[20:33:31 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> actionResponse.setRenderParameter(key, (String[]) parameters.get(key).toArray());
[20:33:33 CDT(-0500)] <denny_cs> actionRequest.setAttribute(key, parameters.get(key).get(0));
[20:33:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> did you see them on the URL after the action?
