[14:42:50 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> quiet today...are people actually doing work?
[14:43:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> trying to comprehend UserInstance
[15:43:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/uPortal%20Rendering%20Pipeline%20Diagrams
[15:43:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> my basic understanding of the uPortal rendering pipeline
[16:01:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oi ... getting my mind around how the up2 pipeline works after dealing with the sandbox code for so long is quite the exercise

[16:17:21 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hello
[16:17:29 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> i have question on teh webproxy portlet
[16:17:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:17:52 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> how do i pass persondirecty info to a php page
[16:17:54 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> ?
[16:18:00 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> via webproxy
[16:18:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> using the web proxy portlet or the web proxy channel?
[16:18:44 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> web proxy channel in 2.5.3
[16:19:11 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> in default iperson attribute to pass.. i put in uid
[16:19:34 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> however, php doesn't seem to see it
[16:19:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah ok, that I'm not familiar with, you'll probably need to ask uportal-user
[16:20:18 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hrm.. ok
[16:21:24 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> so it would only be a web proxy portlet in 2.6 that would work tehn?
[16:21:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is no web proxy portlet included in any 2.X release
[16:21:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> UW Madison has published source code for one
[16:22:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and I believe it is in a workable state
[16:22:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but it hasn't been shipped with any version of uPortal yet
[16:22:33 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> would it be in beta state then?
[16:23:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well we've been using it in production here at UW for over a year now
[16:23:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but
[16:23:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there isn't much community knowledge or support around it yet
[16:24:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so there may be possible framework/portlet tweaks needed to get it working in a stock uPortal instance right now
[16:24:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you can take a look
[16:24:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but I have a feeling just emailing uportal-user for your answer for the webproxy channel would be much easier
[16:26:37 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> thanks man
[16:26:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[16:34:34 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> in portal what is the difference between a channel and a portlet? is it that portlets are built specific to jsr-168 standar?
[16:34:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[16:34:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there are two different APIs
[16:35:00 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> ok
[16:35:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> IChannel was created with uPortal
[16:35:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Portlet (also called JSR-168) was created by a standards body much more recently
[16:35:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> most new applications for portals are written as portlets
[16:36:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but there are a lot of existing applications that are channels, most internal functionality in uPortal is written as channels
[16:36:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> when the portal is running it really doesn't matter which is being used
[16:37:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but you end up having to be aware of the distinction as a developer
[16:37:38 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> ok. that is what i thought
