Is it possible to change the decorator.properties on a folder by folder case?

[David Just <da...@visionsolutions.com>]

Sometimes, I want users to be able to edit portlet preferences, but not
allow them to add/remove reorganize portlets on a page/folder, but other
times I want them to be able to do so.  This is on a folder by folder
case.  Since it appears the only way to enable portlet edit without also
enabling folder / page edit is to disable them in the decorator, I would
like to be able to change just those layout properties on a folder by
folder case.  Is this possible or do I have to create and manage two
separate decorators?

 

Thanks.

Hi David,

I think you need to customize the layout templates for the purpose.
For example, you can find the following in /jetspeed/WEB-INF/templates/layout/html/columns/layout.vm:

    #getBoolProperty($allowAddPortlet $rootDecorator "allow.add.portlet" true)

You could set the above property to false to not display "Add portlet" button in some cases:

    #set ($allowAddPortlet = false)

You could play with some objects at the top of the velocity template file: $request, $jetspeed, $theme, $myPage, $decorator, etc.

Regards,

Woonsan
