[09:39:17 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Hi Eric. I have a question for you concerning Portlet Preferences and channel parameters.
[10:06:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> oh hey
[10:07:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> whats up?
[10:07:51 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Hey, I just have a question about portlet preferences
[10:07:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok
[10:07:57 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Is there a specific reason why portlet preferences defined in the portlet.xml were not included as channel definition parameters?
[10:08:11 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> are we talking up2?
[10:08:16 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> yes
[10:08:32 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Sorry, I should have mentioned that
[10:08:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> is this a Channel Manager question then too?
[10:08:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> as in why aren't the portlet.xml prefs displayed in channel manager when publishing?
[10:08:59 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> That is related.
[10:09:37 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> RDBMChannelRegistryStore only loads preferences defined in the DB, not from portlet.xml
[10:10:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but the portlet still sees both
[10:10:24 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Yes, it does
[10:10:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> since the portlet.xml prefernces are part of the portlet object model
[10:10:50 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I guess they aren't loaded since a need for portlet preferences in the channel code was never seen
[10:11:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the only place portlet preferences are 'used' is in the portlet itself or in the Channel Manager during publishing
[10:11:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it would be nice if the portlet.xml prefs were shown in the Channel Manager so you could see the default values
[10:12:08 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> That would require all Portlet Prefs to be added as channel parameters
[10:12:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yup
[10:12:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so what is the need for portlet preferences to show up as channel definition parameters?
[10:13:02 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Okay. Cool. I will create a JIRA ticket for it and get it done. Thanks
[10:13:38 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> We use some of the channel parameters in the rendering
[10:13:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well you can still have channel parameters associated with a portlet
[10:14:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'd vote to just do that versus using portlet preferences outside their scope
[10:14:32 CST(-0600)] <bszabo> Portlet Prefs defined in portlet.xml are therefore not available. Users can add them through the Channel Manager, but we would like the defaults loading with the Portlet definition
[10:15:13 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so it sounds like there are two issues here?
[10:15:29 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> one is wanting to use portlet preferences in the portal chrome rendering
