[14:42:58 CST(-0600)] <athena> EricDalquist: what do you think about changing the HTML page name to include the tab name or focused portlet name?
[14:43:20 CST(-0600)] <athena> noticing that the back button largely works now, but that the pages in my history all have the same name
[14:43:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ah yeah
[14:43:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that would be good
[14:43:36 CST(-0600)] <athena> ok
[14:43:40 CST(-0600)] <athena> should be a simple change
[14:43:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> maybe something like "uPortal: Tab Name" and "uPortal: Channel Name"?
[14:44:08 CST(-0600)] <athena> with the uPortal string customizable via messages.properties?
[14:45:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yup that would be great
[15:31:33 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills1> hey folks... I'd like to make a subtle change to EntityGroupImpl: http://uportal.pastebin.com/pr5pujrs
[15:31:42 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills1> we hit an issue with that at OHIO
[15:32:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> wow - what causes that?
[15:33:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> is that a group getting deleted without being removed from the parent member?
[15:33:33 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> if a group disappears
[15:33:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> wouldn't be shocked if there was some code that let you delete a group without removing references to it, i guess
[15:33:58 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> i believe it can only happen in a GaP impl like smartldap or (perhaps) grouper
[15:34:05 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> afaik
[15:34:07 CST(-0600)] <athena> ah, gotcha
[15:34:17 CST(-0600)] <athena> so maybe it gets deleted from a remote system w/o any interaction w/ uportal
[15:34:34 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> thing is... with local and PAGS, the group (branch) nodes are owned by the portal system
[15:34:53 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> yeah... and there's a local group pointing to it as a child
[15:35:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah that makes sense
[15:35:16 CST(-0600)] <athena> sounds like a great change to me
[15:35:23 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> not the sort of thing you want... definately an issue to address at your shop... but no need to bring the whole portal down
[15:35:28 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[15:35:45 CST(-0600)] <athena> that is like . . . bad (smile)
[15:35:47 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> and it can... what happens is the guest layout can't even loaddue to NPE
[15:39:20 CST(-0600)] <DrewWills> yeah i think it's a no-brainer... just thought i'd bring it up here... als posting a JIRA w/ stack trace
[15:41:27 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah that's good to know about
[15:41:36 CST(-0600)] <athena> can't imagine ohio's the only one that's ever hit that
