Layout Management
Mark Boyd, SunGard SCT
Terms:
SLM | SimpleLayoutManager, the original layout from uPortal 2.0 |
ALM | AggregatedLayoutManager, has the concept of fragments, and in-place editing ("Integrated Modes"); introduced in uPortal 2.3.\ |
DLM | DistributedLayoutManager, has goals similar to ALM; developed by SunGard SCT for their proprietary portal; this component now being modified to contribute back to the base uPortal code. |
CLM | ComplexLayoutManager, a somewhat tongue-in-cheek term for an imaginary future layout manager. |
