Community Portlets

Portlets hosted by JA-SIG community members are documented here.

Bookmarks Portlet - Alternative XBEL & Struts Bridge based

This is a portlet version of a bookmarks manager application that was written using Struts, Castor, XSL and DHTML. The native format for the application is XBEL but it also allows the import and export of the de-facto standard bookmarks format used in Mozilla and Microsoft based browsers.

Photo Viewer AJAX Portlet

The PhotoViewerAjaxPortlet is a simple application that wraps the JavaScript classes to stream and animate the presentation of images. Photoshow portlet is designed keeping in mind two different categories of sources for the images. In the first category images can simply be arranged in a folder. In the second category the Photoshow Portlet takes photo feeds from all popular sites, such as PhotoBucket, Flickr, and Picasa Web Albums. However, the Photoshow portlet allows any photo-based feed to be accommodated such as any custom feed that you may have. In fact, any feeds that use Media RSS can be used without customization.

RenderCountPortlet

A portlet that counts how many times it is rendered, and displays that information both in the portlet content and as its dynamic title. Useful for exercising the dynamic portlet title functionality of a portlet container like uPortal.

Reset Settings Portlet for uPortal 2.4, 2.5

We needed a way for users to reset their layouts through the portal, as this functionality did not seem to exist for aggregated layouts. We experimented deleting user information exclusively from the database layout tables but that led to a number of problems either with what we were trying to delete or the aggregated layout system marking fragments as excluded that should not have been. User templates were not reliably reproduced that way, either. It quickly became clear we didn't know enough about the aggregated layout implementation to hassle with selectively modifying the databse, so we decided to take an easier route - delete the user's account entirely from the database. Having used this approach in the past, it seemed like a good idea but left orphaned fragments in the database and other information there that was never removed. We ended up writing code to remove a user's account and all data in the database that was associated with their USER_ID. This is by no means an elegant solution to the problem, but it has worked fine for us the 6 months we've been using it.

TabbedRssPortlet

* Can retrieve RSS feeds in a tabbed view and display information in a user friendly format

UC Irvine Facebook Portlet

Facebook is a social networking site that students use regularly (most seem to use it multiple times per day). Our motivation behind a Facebook portlet is to make students' lives easier by providing them access to campus information and services while simultaneously allowing them to connect with a social service. We believe that the adoption rate of the portal will increase with the addition of this portlet.
