[12:38:34 EST(-0500)] <athena> EricDalquist: what kind of property replacement does the portal do with security.properties?
[12:38:47 EST(-0500)] <athena> and when are the property values replaced?
[12:38:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think it uses it in a spring property placeholder feeder
[12:39:01 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if not it would be easy to add it to do that
[12:39:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think that is in applicationContext.xml
[12:39:55 EST(-0500)] <athena> are the replaced values available when the XSL performs it's logic?
[12:40:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> we need to be able to offer different HTML based on the value
[12:40:19 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well you would use them as a property on a bean
[12:40:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so StaticRenderingPipeline is a bean
[12:40:36 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you could add a new property of setCasUrl(String)
[12:41:00 EST(-0500)]

[12:41:23 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then in applicationContext.xml make sure that security.properties is one of the sources for the property placeholder configurerer
[12:43:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> ohh
[12:43:22 EST(-0500)] <athena> hm
[12:43:25 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think i'm confused
[12:43:40 EST(-0500)] <athena> so i need to add a new method to StaticRenderingPipeline?
[12:43:58 EST(-0500)] <athena> and then inject that into the XSL as a parameter or something?
[12:44:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[13:08:14 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[13:08:17 EST(-0500)] <athena> i'll try that out
[13:08:20 EST(-0500)] <athena> thanks
[13:08:23 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[13:08:49 EST(-0500)] <athena> looks like we'll need a little more help from scott on the casclient update
[13:21:13 EST(-0500)] <athena> by the way, EricDalquist, are the channel categories still a work in progress?
[13:21:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you want to make changes feel free
[13:21:46 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[13:21:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> All I had time for was the base simplification
[13:21:53 EST(-0500)] <athena> it looks like some of the categories aren't visible in the channel browser
[13:22:01 EST(-0500)] <athena> i wasn't sure if maybe there were some permissions missing or something
[13:22:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> are they empty?
[13:22:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that could be too
[13:22:20 EST(-0500)] <athena> no, when i put channels in them i can't find the channels anymore
[13:22:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> i can take a closer look
[13:22:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[13:22:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:22:43 EST(-0500)] <athena> i'll try and find time to figure out what's goign on

[15:32:49 EST(-0500)] <user_> question for you guys, is there any twitter feed portlet in the works that you know about?
[15:33:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> not that I know of
[15:33:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> others here may
[15:34:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> yes, user_
[15:34:54 EST(-0500)] <user_> hi Jennifer
[15:34:56 EST(-0500)] <athena> fluid wrote some cool code to interact w/ the fluid json feeds
[15:35:01 EST(-0500)] <athena> it's not all hooked up right now though
[15:35:12 EST(-0500)] <athena> eventually.
[15:35:33 EST(-0500)] <user_> is it a portlet being actively worked on or stalled or ?
[15:39:16 EST(-0500)] <user_> :/
[15:40:52 EST(-0500)] <athena> it's not being actively worked on right now, no
[15:41:19 EST(-0500)] <athena> there hasn't been a ton of requests for it from the community, nor have other people gotten involved
[15:41:30 EST(-0500)] <athena> however, contributions from the community are always welcome
[15:49:57 EST(-0500)] <user_> so who's the person working on that?
[15:51:07 EST(-0500)] <athena> as i said, right now, i don't think anyone's actively working on it
[15:51:19 EST(-0500)] <athena> colinclark wrote at least some of the fluid component and java
[15:51:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> and i've since made some modifications
[15:51:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> but right now there are higher community priorities in uportal, so i'm more likely to address those first
[15:51:52 EST(-0500)] <user_> err, not actively, but has the code I meant
[15:52:04 EST(-0500)] <athena> it's all publicly available in the jasig sandbox repository
[15:52:08 EST(-0500)] <user_> if it's already started, that would be helpful
[15:52:11 EST(-0500)] <user_> hrmm, ok
[15:54:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/sandbox/FluidTwitterPortlet/trunk/
[15:59:45 EST(-0500)] <user_> thanks
[16:01:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> yep
[16:01:26 EST(-0500)] <athena> i wouldn't necessarily expect it to work out of the box, but it's somewhere to start, if you're interested
