      Hi,

      My requirement is to render Portlet in a pop-up Window. I am not too sure on how to achieve this as some portal provides this capability through Window states but my specific requirement is to display the portlet in a pop-up window before it is added to the page.

      i tried out most of the documentation and Wikis but not able to get the right clue on how this is feasible in JBoss Portal.

      your suggestions are welcome.

      Thanks in advance.

          I would like this functionality as well. I have used other Portal vendors in the past, they had this functionality by setting a custom mode called SOLO.

            I am also looking for similar functionality wherein user can see the preview of portlet before adding it to page.

              Hi,

              Here is a way you can achieve opening a portlet in a popup window.

              1. Link the Portlet to a Page.
              2. Define a Page Property say WindowType and give it a value say "NewWindow".
              3. In Tabs.jsp while rendering the link for this page (identified based on the WindowType page property) use target = "_new".

              This should help you in achieving the objective.
