[portal] How to change AspectDatas/tab by named-item?
Hi
When I want to change a portal page, I use the aspectsDatas/tab with the
index number of page I want to see.
It works fine, but difficult to maintain. I can't insert a new page without
broke the numerotation.
Is-it possible to switch the page of a composite-layout by his named-item
attribute, instead of the page number?

Well, I haven't coded it yet. I envision that I will not use the name of
the named item, but add a new attribute so that backward compatibility can
be maintained. So instead of urls containing the eventid they will use an
event name if it was defined for the named item. If not then the event id
will still be used.
Secondly, I want to integrate bookmarks into the portal better than they
currently are. So if you want to go to a sub-navigation item on a page
the url can just reference the bookmark (just like the bookmark action
currently supports). I just want the bookmarks defined in the layout
instead of a separate xml file and I don't want to have to use the
bookmark action to convert it to the corresponding events.

Hi Ralph
I'm not sure to understand what your patch does. Is it able to switch page
of a composite-layout by the named-item of these pages?

FYI - I have it on my task list to enhance the way the portal does links.
Using event ids that are not consistent is problematic. The enhancements I
will be doing are:
1. To use names instead of an index if a name can be determined for an event.
2. To integrate bookmarks into the portal layout instead of requiring a
separate file and an action.
I have already submitted a patch that allows subnavigation items for all
pages to be made available. We will use this to allow drop-down lists of
the subnavigation when the mouse hovers over the main nav item.

Hmm, the solution which could work requires a little bit java
coding. Now, there is a special renderer for the tab which
is currently based on the index of the selected id. You
could change this into a renderer that uses the name.
