[12:27:29 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> Got a question about portlet development
[12:27:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:28:41 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> You know how you have a preference store for user values... is there one for portlet values... ie values that are shared between users? or do i need to create a custom datastore for something like that
[12:29:01 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you'd need to have a custom data store for that
[12:29:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> preferences is the only provided API and that is per user per subscribed instance
[12:30:30 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> Thanks, thats what i needed to know. Now i just need to learn how to use oracle for the time being =P
[12:31:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hah
[12:32:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oracle for sql?
[12:32:52 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> well we are using there app server for the time being, i just got news that our uportal migration will be delayed, again so im stuck with this heap
[12:33:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah

[14:48:10 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> coming in late here (been busy), but if you're still listening KWhat_Work .... You could use portlet preferences for cross-user values, if they didn't need to be changed during runtime.
[14:48:36 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> the values in the portlet.xml for example are shared across all users using that portlet, if the values are not overridden by user values.
[14:49:07 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> holdorph: i was originally thinking dynamic content... iirc you can use java preferences for that sort of thing right
[14:49:13 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> in uPortal, you can override the portlet.xml values, but still be cross-user values, using channel manager.
[14:49:24 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> mm
[14:49:56 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> but those are not dynamic, per se, they could only be updated by an admin, and would require users to logout/log back in to see any change
[14:50:39 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> uportal doesnt support mysql yet does it ?
[14:50:47 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> or am i thinking of something else
[14:51:14 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> you CAN user MySQL with uPortal
[14:51:36 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> it typically requires a little extra configuration out of the box then other db's do, but definitely can use it.
[14:52:05 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> it it was up to me i would be using postgres but we are already heavily invested in mysql
