Multiple Home Pages
All,
I posted a question a couple of days ago, but must have been half asleep..
Let me try one more time:
I want to produce a web site that has 2 central home pages - a user home
page and a project home page. Think sourceforge. From what I can tell,
Jetspeed mostly focuses on the user only and would require codebase changes
to Jetspeed to enable it to become centered in 2 areas.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to produce a Jetspeed-based site that
focuses on 2 primary areas - a user and a project (owned by a user)?
If so, what kind of effort would be required to accomplish this based on any
changes needed in the JetSpeed codebase?
Thanks,
James

A couple ideas:
1) 2 installations of Jetspeed. The downside of this is the
configuration is not, or should not, be shared unless you are using a
database for user and PSML.
2) Use named pages or groups, i.e.
http://localhost/jetspeed/portal/page/central_home and
http://localhost/jetspeed/portal/page/user_home. I know of a problem in
customizing a non-default page.

The concept is the same as Sourceforge: a user-centric portal view and a
project-centric portal view. The project-centric view would be managed by
the owner(s) of the project. Without looking into Jetspeed too deep, it
seems that it is more geared for the user-centric than running both, unless
I'm just underestimating the power of Jetspeed and its portlets..
Take a look at Sourceforge.net and consider the home page for a project
offering the same functionally as a user homepage - managed portlets, etc.
The only difference is that the project is managed by the owner, a user (but
viewable by all). The user homepage would aggregate the data across the
projects, which seems to me more of a data mgmt issue than a Jetspeed issue.
Thoughts? Anyone doing something similiar?

It really depends on how integrated these themes need to be...
You could perhaps do it by having portlets that are "user" or
"project" specific and then having 2 tabs for a user - one for their
project view... but this doesn't sound right.
Maybe its just down to portlets and you let the user view them how
they want with customizations - or you decide on the layout for
them...
Perhaps more detail on the kind of effect you are trying to achieve
would help.
Jetspeed is more geared towards delivering content through fairly
fixed portlets - although we are using it to build slightly richer
applications - the portlets have multiple pages.
Hope this waffle helps, ;-)
