[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Labs] - Links in Labs 2

Hello, as always, there is a problem with URLs. This time - forums and blog. Of course, links to posts should be permanent. To make the really permanent throughout the changing Portal and Labs site, I suppose they have to be of the form: http://www.jboss.org/forums?aaa=bbb. On the other hand, it would be best to have the possibility that each project can have a forums/blog portlet on the project page (maybe even several of such portlets), displaying their specific forum, for example. However, links in such portlets have to contain information about which page the portlet is on, at least. And we won't be able to keep such links permanent for sure. There are several approaches to solve that: * do it like it is with our Wiki - have only one forums/blog portlet, and links would always point there; however, this won't enable projects to have a true forums/blog portlet on a project page (that is, a portlet which wouldn't be only a link to the "big" portlet) * have [permalink] links next to each post link etc. This solves the problem, but requires more care and intelligence from the user. * another way? Hold the "last selected page" in user's sessions attributes? But that would disable browsing two projects at one time and them having multiple portlets of the same kind on one page. But this also requires special redirects for forums and is not so nice ;). -- Cheers, Adam View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4016452#...
