LDN - Luminis Developer Network

If you are working at a university or other institution that makes use of the Luminis portal application delivered by Sungard Higher Education and you're wanting to set up a channel that pulls in survey links from Scantron's Class Climate system for students to fill out course evaluations, this recipe is intended for you.

Hi,

I copied the Financial Aid channel and modified it.  I wanted to add more customizations.  When I do I get an error in the cp.log that says...

org.jasig.portal.PortalException: Failed to find a ZIP entry for 'com/sct/banner/portals/ui/local_sia_faid_stutrack/media/redflag.gif' in resource JAR '/opt/luminis/webapps/luminis/WEB-INF/cars/local_sia_faid_stutrack.car
 

We have started to make many modifications to Banner channels (.car files).  One in particular is the Time Reporting channel, as we are implementing Web Time Entry on our campus.  Throughout the .car files for the Banner channels, there are references to '/CHANNELDATA/TXT'.  Such as:

<xsl:variable name="time_sheet_txt" select="/CHANNELDATA/TXT/TIME_SHEET_TXT"/>

Can anyone here shed some light on where this actual CHANNELDATA can be found?

Thanks in advance. 

We've programmed a portlet-channel that calls the banner database and retrieves/displays a students status.

For the most part it works well, but occassionally we get users complaining the that system gave them different data (applicants saying they see an "accepted" status, and then a few minutes later seeing the correct status of "still processing").

Here is the U of S Classified Ads channel for use with Luminis 4.  Again, we use the Luminis Oracle database to hold our database objects (tables, sequence) so if you want to use a separate database for classifieds you would need to modify the code.

There are a few parameters that you need to supply when creating the channel.  I've taken a screenshot of those parameters.  Some of them need explaining:

hi, i have a question, im testing luminis 4 before release it to our university and i saw a presentation of luminis 4 where they open a banner form  from a luminis channel.

it's possible?..... or i get the wrong idea..

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have been successful in creating channels but i am having problems with the audience.  The system automatically assigns public to the audience.  I cannot find a way to change this.  I am probably just missing something in the manuals.  Any help would be awesome.

I have a user who wants their channel content to link to several word documents, is there a way that they can upload the documents to the system and link to them from a channel?  There is the file/image upload, but it doesn't seem to be working for files other then html and images.  Any suggestions?

Hi all

We are working on the last piece of migrating our luminis 3.3.3.64 to IV - Banner INB, SSB and luminis channels for Banner.  The instruction from Sungard do give me lots of headache.

Could any school kindly give me a Demo of their works in luminis IV?  I just like to see how it looks and works, thanks!

Thanks in advance.
