Portlet properties... wm_universalpicker vs textbox

, ,
1

Hi,

I’m just comparing the example wm_portlet_links/multiple_portlets with my own. In multiple_portlets, there is a property portlet_id of type String. Nevertheless, when published to MWS, the property isn’t available as textbox, but with an button “browse” invoking the wm_universalpicker (screenshot).

First I guessed portlet_id could be a special keyword invoking this behaviour. But it doesn’t seem to be… I’m still getting a textbox in my own portlet.

Am I missing a setting?

A second topic: I’ve observed the following behaviour: A property that contains a dash, like “C-ID”, no picker is popping up when selecting “Other” from the dropdown-box for wiring. I haven’t found that constraint in the documentation…

Regards,
Gregor

Uh, just found the way to do: element property-editor in wm-portlets.xml


				<property>
					<param>
						<name>validationRegexp</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>displayAliasButton</name>
						<value>1</value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>xtypes</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>multiple</name>
						<value>2</value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>availableStart</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>disabled</name>
						<value>2</value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>onchange</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>selectable</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>validationRegexpMsg</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>basetypes</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>roots</name>
						<value>folder.public</value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>unselectable</name>
						<value></value>
					</param>
					<param>
						<name>style</name>
						<value>5</value>
					</param>
				</property>

But a way to set this via the GUI would be nice.

PS: [ code][ /code] as well as
are hiding some parts of the elements… it’s called property-editor not property… and some attributes are not shown, too.

The important part is property-editor type=“portal-resource-popup”

These are legacy portlets and there is a legacy portlet editor (see the 6.5.2 Portal Design Guide at: http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuites/wMdoc/_webM_suite_65/Access%20and%20Portal/Accessand%20Portal%206.5.2/webMethods%20Portal%20Design%20Guide%206.5.2.pdf)

Check the forums for more information about how to enable the Legacy Portlet Editor in Designer as well.

Hope this helps.
