LDN - Luminis Developer Network

I'm working on a shoutbox program written in php, and would like to grab the user's name, rather then have them type something in a text field. Does anyone know of a way to get the user information from the session? I was thinking that I could grab the name using a jsp page first, then pass that as a parameter to the php page. I looked at the welcome message, but I can't get it to display when I just take the snippet to a different page. Anyone have any ideas? This is a step towards several other programs we need, but have to get the user information figured out before I can continue.

Does anyone know of an easy way to change a specific channel's font color?

I want to add a new channel called Campus Emergency, and have it be an additional option within the target announcements manager.

I opened the /opt/luminis/webapps/luminis/WEB-INF/cars/announcements.car and found the ScheduleBean.class that I needed to edit. I also changed the ScheduleBean.properties and ta-shed-target.jsp. I decompiled the class file, then when I try to compile it back to a class file it gives me "can't find symbol" errors. I tried putting the java file back into the cars directory and compiling it there, but it still won't go.

We were assured that the portal was ADA compliant with most screen readers, however the screen reader that we use won't read the login page. The loginf.jsp contains frames that the screen reader won't read. I haven't tried adding the login.jsp code into the loginf.jsp yet.

So I've tried creating a new index.html page in /opt/luminis/webapps/luminis (on solaris). I've taken the source code from the original login page, and made a new index.html from the code.

Titles within channels in IV are limited to 150 before wrapping due to an html template.
It looks like right before this channel code:
span id="p_chan_title_txt" class="uportal-text"
There is this code that is limiting it:
td width="150"

Has anyone found where this code is located so this can be changed? In IE6 all the channel titles are wrapping if they're too long.

I've included an channel example to show how the titles are wrapping.

I'm posting this in hopes that someone else has heard of this or has had similar problems. We are running Luminis 4.0.1.10 on Solaris 10, single deployment. We did have the .0.1.5 patch installed, but we took it off to test the .0.1.10 patch.

We are getting severe lag issues when logging in and while navigating and working in the portal. The login and lag may be 2 separate issues, we aren't sure.

This is my first time installing a patch, the other patches were installed by the installer. Having a bit of trouble getting it to run so I thought I would post it here to see what I'm doing wrong.

We're on a solaris 10 system and had 4.0.1.5 installed. I need to install the .0.1.1 patch, so I uninstalled the .0.1.5 patch by running "patchcp -u" and then the version. Worked fine. Now I need to install the patch.

Here's what I did:
1. Log in as root user
2. I copied the patch to directory root/tmp/patch4.0.1.1
3. I set my working directory to that same directory

I created myself a new user, assigned all the roles: Student, Faculty, Employee. I added specific tabs to each of the layout roles, Student, Faculty, Employee, All Users.

For some reason I can't seem to have the Student tabs and Faculty tabs on the same layout at the same time. Faculty tabs always seem to make the student tabs drop off. As soon as I take off the faculty role from my user, the student tabs show up. I have plenty of room on the row, and can verify that all the tabs work for the individual roles.

I'm trying to change the copyright information on the login page.
The login page info is coming from /opt/luminis/webapps/luminis/jsp/lib/footer.jsp
Once logged into the portal, the info is coming from /opt/luminis/webapps/luminis/WEB-INF/uPortal/org/jasig/portal/layout/tab-column/nested-tables/nested-tables.xsl

In the footer.jsp there is the following:
fmt:setBundle basename="com.pipeline.lib.footer" />
span id="copyright" fmt:message key="copyright.message" / /span

I am trying to update the copyright information in the footer, and I'm trying to stick with the provided variables instead of hardcoding in the text.

I have updated nested-tables.properties with the correct text, but when I restart the system, the old text is still showing up.

I ran across this same problem when I updated the Channel.properties and the changes didn't reflect in the portal. Someone else stated that they had this same problem and had to edit the html.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why the changes aren't being reflected?
