[12:44:12 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> morning devs... I wonder if anyone can help me brainstorm around an issue I'm seeing... https://gist.github.com/drewwills/6040984

[12:44:28 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> that's a post-structure transform layout

[12:44:41 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> on a mobile browser – mUniversality

[12:45:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok

[12:45:41 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> the issue is that the "Background Preference" and "Google Analytics Configuration" portlets end up blank in the dom

[12:46:20 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> i did some debugging and I see the rendering pipeline try to get the content from the portletrenderer bean

[12:46:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do they actually exist?

[12:46:38 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> but the content is blank... and it looks like my controller is never invoked

[12:46:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> like do portlets with those fnames exist in portlet manager?

[12:46:50 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> yeah they work well in desktop

[12:47:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> grab the post theme output

[12:47:17 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and see if the channel entries are getting copied over there

[12:47:52 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> they are... one sec, another gist

[12:48:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> huh

[12:48:08 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> https://gist.github.com/drewwills/6041012

[12:48:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> AH

[12:48:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> minimized

[12:48:48 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> here's "the kicker" – seems to work poorly on framework portlets, but perfectly well w/ non-framework portlets

[12:49:00 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> minimized? interesting

[12:49:17 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I seem to remember there being some pipeline component that minimizes allportlets when rendering the main mobile view

[12:49:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> probably need to figure out how to add some exceptions there

[12:49:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or tweak those portlets to ignore minimized

[12:49:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which may be something good to do anyways

[12:49:50 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> nice catch

[12:50:00 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since the analyics portlet at least should always render

[12:50:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> actyually

[12:50:31 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the channel element is missing for analytics

[12:50:37 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it should be in the head

[12:50:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and it is not

[12:51:53 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> i see that
