LDN - Luminis Developer Network

We are looking to fill a position that recently became open. The position will involve some Luminis portal work, some Banner, mobile web/app development, etc... Here are the details.

******************************************************

Hey everyone, I remember a school at Summit speaking about a formal document that they have to control quality of content in their portal. Things like...

* Channel content must be updated at a very minimum every 90 days
* Channel content must meet the institutions color and logo requirements

etc... etc...

We really need to have something like this at my institution, but before I started on one, I wanted to see if someone from the lumdev community had something that they were willing to share.

Thanks
Greg

I'm hoping this post can be the start of some friendly competition among schools that integrate luminis logger. For awhile we've heard how portal's are struggling, student's aren't using them, no longer needed, etc... This page is to serve notice that the portal community is strong, and that we are proud of the usage of our portals. We've all worked hard on our portals, here's where we can see how that hard work pays off.

This year at Summit I presented a home grown JSP application that I coined "Luminis Logger". Here at Lehigh University we needed to have better, quantified data on who's logging into our portal, how often, what roles, etc... This home grown application has met that need.

Not sure how many bleeding edge schools are out there, but I thought I would post this as a heads up.  Over the weekend I patched our campus portal to 4.2.1.93.  It fixed a few things on our end, but it also happened to break a few things.  Most notably, the login files (util.js, login.html, login.jsp, etc) were changed as of patch 74-75. 

The other day I was adding another inline frame channel, and I got an idea. The inline frame channel's admin screens don't allow you to give the user permission to edit the url. There is a little icon there in place of where the checkbox would be. So it got me thinking...

I created a new inline frame channel without specifying a url. I added the channel to my layout, and it added an empty page ( I was hoping it was going to ask me for a url). But then I went into my portal's oracle database and went to the UP_CHANNEL_PARAM table and added a new row with

Just wanted to say that I dig the new facebook channel in 4.2. I only wish they would have put in a spot to update my facebook status. If the CEO of Sprint can do it on his phone, we should be able to it on the portal!

I've made many changes to the initial theme that I presented at Summit and posted here on Lumdev (http://www.lumdev.net/node/2014). I got a lot of good responses from people on the first version. I've fixed a lot of bugs that came up that people were clamoring for fixes. I think this release should be much better than the original once it is customized to your institution. I also want to thank Kyle Smith from YCP for his help and ideas with the code. Here are the main feature additions in no particular order.

-- Added "Add a Tab" feature

About a month or two ago I created a JSP AJAX page using some YUI code to do on the fly campus directory lookups. I also went and added it to the layout of our campus portal. It's fairly simple, and should be easy to modify for other institutions. Sorry for not putting this up sooner. Things got busy...

I'm continuing to develop the classicdrag theme that I presented at Summit. I've gotten a lot of good feedback already so I'll be working into rolling new features/fixes in. Here comes the good news: Sungard came back and said that it was fine with me having it available to everyone without even needing a password. Once again, here's the URL:
