[portal] Linking to portal pages

Hi,

I am porting my site from old portal-fw to the new
portal engine.  I was able to port all the coplets and
pages with any problems, however, I got really stuck
on events.  I am clearly missing the point here, so
could someone at least point me in the right direction
(an example would be great!)?

I need to create a links to my portal pages from
within coplet content.  For example, I used to have
News page, so I could use the following:

<a href=�portal/news�>News</a>

Now my News page is represented as a tab.  How would I
generate the right link to this page?

Thanks,
-Alex

coplet attributes

Posted by Philippe Guillard <pg...@soociety.com>.

Hi all,

My need is to use cl:link to send a request parameter to another coplet
that contains a XSP page, and XSP page to use it..
I found great the mail below. Problem is there "Be careful, to access to
the MyCoplet-1 attributes this transformer (portal-coplet transformer)
need to be call by the MyCoplet itself and with the cocoon protocol. If
it's not the case use the portal action to 'load' it in memory."

I can't make serverpage take a source with cocoon protocol neither nor
put a action before the generator in a pipeline...

Maybe cl:link can just send parameter for use in XSL and there is
another way?

Thanks by advance!
Phil

RE: [portal] Linking to portal pages

Posted by Laurent Trillaud <lt...@jouve.fr>.

Huummm. I think that the portal-object-model action is missing in the
news/news-news-item.portlet pattern

<map:match pattern="news/news-news-item.portlet">
<map:aggregate ...>
	blah blah
</map:aggregate>
<map:transform src="portal/xslt/news/join-with-people.xsl"/>
<!-- begin insert here -->
<map:act type="portal-object-model">
<map:parameter name="portalName" value="portal" />
</map:act>
<!-- end insert -->
<map:transform src="portal/xslt/news/news-item.xsl">
blah blah
<map:transform ...
<map:act ...
<map:transform ...
<map:serialize ...
</map:match>
