Jose Pedro Pereira commented on JBPORTAL-771:
---------------------------------------------

We have implemented not a solution of page inheritance, but a solution of "page copy", with possible recursion (meaning copy all sub-pages) and portlet windows. What is the best way to contribute this changes?

>          Issue Type: Feature Request
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>          Components: Portal Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.4 Final

> We have at least one concrete example already that shows the need of such a feature, but I'm sure there are many more. 
> Right now all pages that want to expose the tabed navigation in the top need to add the NavigationPortletWindow in the navigation region. It would make it much easier to create 'templated' pages that contain certain behaviour like the navigation , if we'd allow each page to inherit from another. 
> This would enable the admin to create some useful template pages that all other pages can inherit from, and hence get the same bahaviour. No need to place the same portlet windows on every page anymore.
> We could implement this as
>  * 'real' inheritence that is kept in the PortalObject tree and evealuated in each page request (or each modification to a portal object), or
>  * templating solution, that makes a hard copy into the new page without any future tie back to the template.
