[portal] Minimizing coplets events
Hello,
I'd like to send minimize events from one portlet to another.
This way, I have a kind of menu that is able to show the right portlet
just by showing or hiding it.
Is it possible ? How ?
Thanks

Hi Laurent,
Yes, it does make sense, however if I make it a bit
more complex, it's becoming difficult to manage.
Let's say my "News Story" page has the following
coplets:
- News Story
- Related News Stories (if any)
- Related Photos (if any)
- List of other sites talking about the topic (if any)
- Auctions on eBay selling items related to this story
;-)...
I think you know what I'm getting at :)
Technically each portlet is capable of rendering
itself give the story-id. The only thing out of its
contol is the window.

Alex
For me it's straight forward, unless I miss something. You haven't even need
of visibility feature, just page switching.
Your portal has 3 pages:
1. a page with 1 coplet with the list of all the stories
2. a page with 1 coplet with the story selected
3. a page with 2 coplets with the story selected and the related story.
When you process the list of all stories, you can build a link with events
depends of the story.
For a story without related, generate:
- an event to switch to page 2
- an event to put the story id in coplet 1
For a story with related, generate:
- an event to switch to page 3
- an event to put the story id in coplet 1
- an event to put the related story id in coplet 2
The pipeline associated to the display of stories, just get the story id
from his coplet attributes.
Does make sense for you?

Hi Laurent,
There are two scenarios I can think of:
- I have a page with a "list of news stories" portlet
and when I click on the story, another portlet shows
up with the story itself on the same page. I think
you approach will work here.
- I have "news story" portlet and "related news"
portlet on the same page. If there are any related
news, then show the portlet, if not, the header should
not be displayed. I think this is the one the portal
might not be able to handle. The only thing I can
think of is running a "cleanup" stylesheet, which
removes empty headers, but that's a bit of a hack :-)
Thanks,

It appears to me difficult. The portal generater have 2 stages:
1. it resolve all events, and set coplets data / attributes
2. render thee coplet based on its datas
Later in the pipeline you have the cinclude to fill coplets.
Here, is too late to change the aspect of a coplet.
The best way is to now before if a coplet will have data or not, may be
based on parameters, and set the visibility aspect with a cl:link.

Hi Laurent,
I think I like the second option better. One thing
I'm not sure about: how do I know if my coplet has
returned any content when I render the window? IIUTC,
when portal renders the coplet window, the actual
coplet content is not included yet (this is done later
with cinlcude transformer). Is this correct?
Thanks,

I see 2 solutions: the first one is easy to do but it's just an hack. The
second is, in my opinion, a better way but I haven't tested it.
I suppose that you can check if a coplet as data by any input module
1. The easy way
The goal is to modify the skins/.../styles/window.xsl. Put the code inside a
DIV with the style 'visibility' set à show or hide depend of a parameters in
the XSL got from the layout/portal.xml with the tag <parameter name=""
value=""/>
2. The better way
The goal is to create another aspect for a coplet called for exemple
'coplet-visibility'. You must declare it in the cocoon.xconf (use the
coplet-full-screen as sample) and declare this new aspect in the the
renderer window).
Then you will be able to hide or show a coplet with the same way that you
minimize or maximize a coplet.
Good Luck ;-)

Hi Laurent,
Can you elaborate on the last piece. I'd like to be
able to show a coplet when it has data and hide when
nothing is returned. I'm not sure how I would control
this with a renderer.
Thanks,

Jean-Christophe
Minimize a coplet with the default renderer, isn't to show or hide a coplet
but to minimize or restore. The title bar is still visible!
If you want to do this you need to send an event to the coplet and change de
aspectDatas/size. Use aspectDatas/fullScreen to mazimize it.
Now if you really want to hide a coplet you need to change the renderer or
create a new one, and then use the same event mechanism.
