Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: New portal package demo is available ...

Collapse
Posted by Don Baccus on
This version in contrib/packages/portal works ONLY with OpenACS.  I've been using it on HEAD ... it would probably work on 5.1, too, but there's going to be a bit of a conflict because of Timo's changes to move package_id into acs_objects.

Hmmm...then again upgrade scripts will be easy enough.

It only works under Postgres at the moment, though moving it to Oracle will be easy, just minor datamodel and PL/SQL changes (I don't have Oracle available locally at the moment or I would've done it right off).

I plan to start reintegrating this with .LRN when I get back from my photo and Utah State Open Source Conference (meeting Roberto Mello) on or about April 11th.

There's a bunch of other stuff that needs doing ... internationalization (not worth it until the admin UI settles down), documentation, more and better portlets, etc.

Better integration with acs-subsite, too, but that's longer term and depends on other design decisions regarding navigation and the like.
