[11:05:59 EST(-0500)] <athena> EricDalquist: it looks like the portlet overlays project is deleting the META-INF/context.xml
[11:06:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah yeah
[11:06:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> META-INF is excluded by the war plugin by default
[11:06:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so we need to add explicit includes for it where needed
[11:07:30 EST(-0500)] <athena> ah ok
[11:08:52 EST(-0500)] <athena> do you want to use the jasig widgets version of the google search or keep w/ the existing one?
[11:10:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> don't matter to me{color}
[11:12:29 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[11:14:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> by the way, in config mode, how do we save portlet configuration?
[11:14:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it saves immediately
[11:15:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> config mode as it is right now only works on a published portlet
[11:15:51 EST(-0500)] * tsnfoo_ (n=tsnfoo@wso-mbp15-2.test.denison.edu) has joined ##uportal
[11:16:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then what happens is the portlet preferences service watches for the config portlet mode and when in that it stores portlet preference changes into the definition instead of the entity
[11:16:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> ah ok
[11:16:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so it doesn't really fit nicely into the edit/review/(ok|cancel) flow of portlet manager
[11:16:37 EST(-0500)] <athena> so it just uses the normal portlet preferences API, but it magically becomes a global preference rather than a user-specific one?
[11:16:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:16:54 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh and portlet preferences still aren't showing up on the review screen
[11:17:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I did a little looking last night but the problem wasn't obvious
[11:17:53 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[11:17:59 EST(-0500)] <athena> i'll try and find some time
[11:18:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I can look again too
[11:18:08 EST(-0500)] <athena> i'm a little overbooked today though
[11:18:09 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[11:18:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:18:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I may look later today and just ask questions here
[11:19:37 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds like a plan
[11:19:51 EST(-0500)] <athena> so for these widget portlets, most of them require a google API key
[11:19:57 EST(-0500)] <athena> where do we want that configured?
[11:20:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> portlet manager
[11:20:04 EST(-0500)] <athena> i guess as a portlet preference?
[11:20:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:20:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and can they display a nice error message if the key isn't valid
[11:20:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> telling where to go set it?
[11:20:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> and i guess initially maybe the administrator would have to explicitly add it?
[11:20:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ywah
[11:20:30 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah*
[11:20:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so a portlet can switch into CONFIG mode at any time
[11:20:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there is just a portlet preference that only allows administrators to actually render a portlet in CONFIG
[11:20:55 EST(-0500)] <athena> i guess we could put a default for localhost:8080 either in the portlet.xml or in the .channel file - dunno which is better
[11:20:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so that is an option as well
[11:20:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:21:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> .channel file probably
[11:21:14 EST(-0500)] <athena> yeah - i think config mode is the ultimate solution but i probably won't get to that today
[11:21:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no problem
[11:21:35 EST(-0500)] <athena> so we'll do .channel for now and keep that in mind
[11:21:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[11:22:28 EST(-0500)] <athena> cool
[11:22:35 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds like a good step towards getting a little more content
[11:23:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[11:23:21 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> weather portlet should be going in this afternoon
[11:23:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm reviewing local mods at UW to uPortal
[11:23:36 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> making sure I didn't miss any bug fixes that we found
[11:23:43 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds great

[12:51:35 EST(-0500)] <athena> r
[12:51:42 EST(-0500)] <athena> reviewPortlet.jsp throws a JSP error
[12:51:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:51:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what is the error?
[12:53:04 EST(-0500)] <athena> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m7d192650
[12:53:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah oops
[12:53:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that's my fault
[12:53:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll fix it this afternoon
[12:54:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[12:54:28 EST(-0500)] <athena> i'm about to check in the widgets stuff
[12:54:41 EST(-0500)] <athena> a little bit more cleanup still to go, but hopefully that way you can take a look too and see what you think
[12:54:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[14:03:23 EST(-0500)] * michelled (n=michelle@142.150.154.101) has joined ##uportal
[14:13:27 EST(-0500)] <athena> EricDalquist: widgets are in
[14:13:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist>
[14:13:40 EST(-0500)] <athena>
[14:13:47 EST(-0500)] <athena> should give us some more content, which will be nice
[14:13:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:14:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hopefully I'll get to the weather portlet tonight
[14:14:10 EST(-0500)] <athena> that'd be great
[14:14:13 EST(-0500)] <athena> is the XSLT in yet?
[14:14:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> found a bunch of tweaks we had made here I'm getting in
[14:14:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> nope
[14:14:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and even though I can get it in it won't be a full replacement yet
[14:14:32 EST(-0500)] <athena> gotcha
[14:14:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> will it be enough to do RSS?
[14:14:37 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since it will need to support CAS and authn
[14:14:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:14:41 EST(-0500)] <athena> ah ok
[14:14:43 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but not user-managed RSS
[14:14:47 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> only admin managed
[14:14:53 EST(-0500)] <athena> that's ok, we don't have that now
[14:14:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[14:15:00 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I didn't know if we did
[14:15:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what do you think of the two table breakout for creating new portlets?
[14:15:31 EST(-0500)] <athena> does the XSLT portlet allow you to add classpath resources as XSLTs?
[14:15:40 EST(-0500)] <athena> i haven't seen it yet, will take a look
[14:16:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:16:17 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> classpath, filesystem or URL
[14:16:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> for both the XSL and XML
[14:17:47 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds good
[14:18:25 EST(-0500)] <athena> is the a way for the portlet to send parameters to the XSLT?
[14:18:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> trying to think if there's an easy way for us to toggle between summary styles
[14:18:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't think so
[14:18:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> other than hardcoding them in the preferences
[14:19:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> i do like the new table layout
[14:19:06 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think that'll help clarify things
[14:19:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> oh i meant just like a admin-configurable option
[14:19:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> not for a user
[14:19:36 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh a XSLT parameters
[14:19:38 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no
[14:19:43 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sorry I was thinking URL parameters
[14:20:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok
[14:20:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> so maybe we could have a couple different stylesheets or something
[14:21:08 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:21:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that's all I was thinking
[14:21:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do a drop down via the CPD or soemthing
[14:22:38 EST(-0500)] <athena> sounds reasonable
[14:23:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> should <module>googleportlet</module> be removed from the overlay parent pom?

[14:54:30 EST(-0500)] <athena> yes, and jasig-widget-portlets needs to be added

[15:27:45 EST(-0500)] <athena> maybe that's something EricDalquist knows about?
