Blog for JBoss Portal

[slaboure]

Where can we find a blog portlet for JBP?

Sacha, it is here http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbosslabs/trunk/portal-extensions/forge-blog/src/java/org/jboss/portlet/blog/BlogPortlet.java.

It display RSS feeds and does not have any underlying backend service.

Otherwise I found that http://pal.sourceforge.jp/blog/maven-reports.html

Labs blog portlet is an RSS aggregator, not a full-featured blog app.

Pal's blogportlet, I have not invested the time required to get it to work.

where can I find a documentation for JBoss Portal that lists all available portlets, and for each, what they do, what can be configured, etc.?

Without this, any attempt to build a simple portal is a hunt for information.

Also, the names that appear in the porlet list of the admin view are not really meaningfull. Can we imagine that each portlet also has a real name and a description that we could display (i.e. additional meta-data), at least for OUR portlets?

We're not in the business of building portlets or promoting them. Whatever is in PortletSwap is whats available. We also leverage partners for our portlets. Admittedly, OOTB, we do not package much.

PSWAP, needs to be refactored, as the portlets found there have to be modified to work with 2.4 (descriptors have changed). Maybe one day when I have time, that will actually happen.

The AdminUI was added to ease manageability. We understand its lacking in the usability area. Now with a dedicated resource, it should be addressed in the 2.6 release.

FYI... The listing of all portlets and "where to click" guide is the User Guide. Not the Quickstat Guide.

I am working on the User Guide now, and it should be complete next week.
