1: How to create a static portlet with same content for every user
Posted by Peter Alberer on 09/06/02 03:52 PM
The topic says it all. How can i create a portlet with static
content for every user (with a welcome message, first steps in the
system). It does not seem to be possible to do it via the UI. But
what do i have to achieve that via the API?

TIA, peter

Peter,

This is a problem Sloan faced before launch.  In sum, you can't, at least not elegantly.  Caroline Meeks wrote/forced a custom portlet for all users, but it is not any condition to be distributed as new code.  But this is defintely something I would like to see put back into .LRN - it was functioanlity I had with our first version of SloanSpace, although I don't think it was all that pretty under the hood.
