[11:57:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thats a long ways away
[11:57:29 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> ok
[11:58:48 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> on an other hand i have a question for you
[11:58:54 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> about a feature
[11:59:54 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> i've made a mail on the uportal-dev list initilized by drew from some talk
[12:00:10 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> about delegating some portlet configuration
[12:02:47 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> one of our need would be to give the permission to some users to customize preferences of some portlets in a fragment and to push there preference to audited users, without that these users have rights to modify portlet definition from portlet-admin portlet
[12:02:56 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> do you think that would be possible ?
[12:03:12 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> maybe I'm not clear 
[12:04:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:04:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sorry
[12:04:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> on a conference call now
[12:04:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so the infrastructure is there for that
[12:04:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but it would require a bit of new development
[12:05:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you'd have to create a new permission for this
[12:05:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then update the portlet manager to be aware of that permission
[12:07:15 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> ok but i can't see where to save "dlm preferences of the portlet"
[12:07:24 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> in the layout structure ?
[12:07:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh not portlet preferences?
[12:07:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you're talking about layout attributes?
[12:07:56 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> our need would be for exemple with the CMS portlet
[12:08:26 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> we would like to avoid to publish a new portlet definition to change only the text
[12:08:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:08:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so that would be a portlet preference
[12:08:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> on the portlet definition object
[12:08:42 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> yes
[12:08:55 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> but linked to fragment-layout
[12:09:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that is not possible
[12:09:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> portlet definitions are global
[12:09:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> portlet entities link a portlet definition to an instance of a portlet in a user's layout
[12:09:35 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> ok so it can't be overriden ?
[12:09:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but there is nothing that ties a portlet to a fragment
[12:09:52 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> not at that level
[12:09:59 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> ok
[12:09:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you'd have to just publish difference instances of the portlet
[12:10:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and use the different instances in different fragments
[12:11:05 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> ok so my plan B would be to define a portlet def as template with some attributes which could be defined by some users in creating a new portlet def
[12:13:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah so I see the value
[12:13:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[12:13:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> give me ~ 20 mintues
[12:13:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and I might have some additional ideas
[12:14:14 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> If you can i prefer to see that tomorrow it's a bit late in france now 
[12:14:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah right
[12:14:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:14:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> stop by tomorrow
[12:14:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and we can chat about it
[12:14:42 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> yes thanks a lot for your help
[12:14:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no problem
[12:15:01 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> see you tomorrow so
