Can't assign a new name for a new copied portlet in WPS 5
|
|
|
| Hi all,
In Portal 4.2, when you make a copy of a portlet, a pop-up window comes up, asking you to give a new name to the new copy of the portlet.
In WPS 5.0.2, there is no longer a pop-up window. It simply goes ahead making a new copy with the same portlet name under an auto generated new concrete portlet application.
I have verified this in both IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.6 (thought it might be a Browser problem.)
This is a serious problem as: if you want to make a large number of copies of the same portlet, and place them in different pages, you will have a HARD time to figure out what concrete portlet you are dealing with.
If this is by design, that's a really BAD change. The WPS 4 behaviour is what users need.
Any advice or solution is appreciate.
Thanks much!

| Thanks for the reply. But how? In the "Manage Portlets", you only have five options to deal with portlet: Activate/Deactivate, Copy, Modify Parameters, Show Info, and Delete. None of them allows you to change the portlet name.
By the way, I am NOT looking to change the portlet name during the development stage. That's just too restricted. It's much more flexible to be able to make copies of portlets and place them on pages at the runtime.
Thanks.
Bing.

| Bing,
you can set the title for the portlet you copied in "Modify Parameters"
