    [CLOSED] Create Stateful Portal - Save Position and Collapse of Portlets

    I am trying to create a dynamic portal that will look up the portlets selected by a particular user and display them in the order they chose and in the last collapse mode they chose. I have an AJAX handler on the close tool on the portlet header, but I can't seem to find where to call an AJAX function after the portlet is moved or collapsed.

    Any suggestions on a better way to do this dynamic portlet would be greatly appreciated also.

    Thanks in advance,

    RE: [CLOSED] Create Stateful Portal - Save Position and Collapse of Portlets

    Hi iansriley,

    The <ext:Portal> has a <Drop> Listener and AjaxEvent which fires when a Panel/Portlet is dropped.

    The <Drop> is handled by the Portal, but the Collapse/Expand of each Portlet is handled individually by each Portlet. You just have to add either a <Collapse> or <Expand> Listener/AjaxEvent to the Portlet.

    As well, the Panels/Portlets fire a <BeforeCollapse> and <BeforeExpand> events.

    The following demonstrates a simple example of firing both a Portal <Drop> Listener and AjaxEvent.

    Example

    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
    
    <%@ Register assembly="Coolite.Ext.Web" namespace="Coolite.Ext.Web" tagprefix="ext" %>
    
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

        protected void Portal1_Drop(object sender, AjaxEventArgs e)
        {
            string tpl = "Panel: {0}<br />ColumnIndex: {1}<br />Position: {2}";
    
            this.Label1.Html = string.Format(tpl, e.ExtraParams["ID"], e.ExtraParams["ColumnIndex"], e.ExtraParams["Position"]);
        }
    </script>

    The code above is using the v0.7 release, which should be publicly available late today.

    Hope this helps.
