Re: Controlling portlet opening
Posted by Paul Spencer <pa...@mikon.com>.
Nausheen,
I have not done a "frames" implementation in Jetspeed, but this is how I
would start:
Jetspeed generates 1 file to send to the browser. This file is based on
WEB-INF/templates/vm/navigation/html/default.vm, or
WEB-INF/templates/jsp/navigation/html/default.jsp it you are using the
JSP to do the layout. In default.vm their are place holders for the
navigation bars, $navigation.setTemplate(), and the portlet content,
$screen_placeholder. Using javascript, you may be able to create a
window containing a one place holder and then add that window to the
frame.
I am now sure how complete or workable a solution this is.
Other options:
o If the links you want displayed are from an RSS feed, then you an
modify
the XSL file, defined in the <portlet-entry>, to display the link in a
new windows by adding
target="_blank" to the <a href=...> tag.
This is a very clean solution.
o If you control the content, then you can write a portlet that displays
a webpage using a parameter on that contains the URL. This is a very
fragile solution because the URL must be encoded by the initial
application to use the portlet and the configuration is tricky.
Hope this helps.

Hi...
Exactly what changes do I need to make and to which file? I tried to put
left.vm in a frame but it didnt work....or was I way of base???
Is there any sample code that I could see?
I'm still very much in the greys here :(
Nausheen.

Paul...
I am not quite sure of what you mean :(
I tried to put my top, left and bottom in 3 frames in default.vm but it
didnt make a difference.
Pls elaborate a little.
Nausheen.

Nausheen,
You can change the layout configuration to use frames. Look at the file
<jetspeed-home>/WEB-INF/templates/<layout type vm or
jsp>/layouts/html/default.<vm or jsp>

Controlling portlet opening
Posted by nausheen <na...@siptech.co.in>.
Hi....
How can I control the area in which my portlets open?
When I click a link in a portlet I do not want the target page's content to
cover my entire screen...just below my page header.
I really could use some help with this.
Thx,
Nausheen.

Re: integration with ldap
Posted by Atul Dambalkar <ad...@cisco.com>.
I had done some preliminary research on this.
This probably can be done in two ways,
1. There is turbine user itself in turbine schema. You want to maintain
that schema for Jetspeed to function and maintain same user id in your
ldap. If you do this, you can re-write one of the Jetspeed action classes
that handles the user login functionality and override the exact same part
that goes to Jetspeed database and checks for the validity of the
username/password.
2. You can use, web-server's basic user authentication feature and put the
username and password in the request object and then rather than going
thro' Jetspeed's login screen invoke user specific screen. Over here you
have to do some research to figure out how you can change the default login
screen to something that will be specific to the logged-in user specific
screen.
