About this JA-SIG Portlet Project

Originally written in 2007 by Matt Young and Ren Provey of Duke University and presented in the 2007 JA-SIG conference. Updated to v2 by Gary Weaver in 2011 to use the latest Facebook Javascript API.

Requirements for Usage

...

  • While some modification of this portlet may in use at one or more institutions running an earlier version of uPortal, it may require significant additional work in coding/configuration to be functional.

Features

  • Lets you login/logout of Facebook with a button
  • Show number of user's friend notifications and requests
  • Displays last 5 statuses from friends or followers in the user's news feed (note: may not be the same messages that the user would see in their Facebook news page)
  • Allows user to post status to Facebook

Usage Documentation

Objectives and requirements

Functional

Excerpt
  • Can retrieve facebook information and display information in a user friendly format

Technical

  • Needs review: Is it a standards-compliant JSR-168 portlet? - Not completely, due to Facebook Javascript SDK requirement to have a div with the id "fb-root".
  • Needs review: Does it have what JA-SIG would consider to be modular design and APIs?
  • Needs review: Uses Spring PortletMVC and appropriate Spring practices (It uses Spring, but haven't checked on PortletMVC or if Spring use is appropriate for uPortal.)- think so
  • Builds with AntNeeds (more) unit testsMaven
  • Tests: Since primarily javascript, not much benefit in unit testing

Cultural

  • A collaborative open source project under the auspices of JA-SIG
  • Can be used commercially and non-commercially
  • Produces actual production-ready releases, not just a code drop or a project that exclusively lives in SVN (Note: for now we would appreciate some help in this, and Jen of Yale offered to help until Duke has time to help develop it)
