| Hi,
in Portal 4.x, 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.
This is a serious problem: 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.
Does anybody know, how to solve this problem?
Thanks much!

| Yes, go to administration->Portlets->Manage Portlets, when you copy the
portlet, the new portlets will be inactivate, select new portlet (inactive)
and click Modify Parameters, then you must write a new name for the portlet
selecting a language and clicking in Set Titlet For Selected Locale
I hope this help,

| Yes, when you make copies from the original portlet - any code change
in the original portlet *will* automatically cascade down to all
copied portlets...
I think it is reasonable behavior - else there will be no way to exert
control over the copied portlets

Seems a little silly to me that a portlet can only display one set of
parameters - what if I wanted two web page portlets showing different URLs?

| Paul,
Guess you misunderstood - *code* trickles down to every portlet - but
NOT the config.
The idea of copying portlets being - to be able to set up different
config with same code base to produce functionally similar but
different output at runtime......
let us say you set up just a RSS news feed portlet. The code base to
get the RSS feed and render it will be the same irrespective of the
RSS url you are hitting... so copy them and keep changing the RSS news
feed url and you get the desired results
