Re: [Hypercontent-users] How to read groups.xml from the CAS server.

[Alex V. <al...@bi...>]

Were you hoping to control whether the uPortal channel edit icon  
appears, or do you want to display a link within the channel  
content?  If your uPortal and HC instances are on the same domain,  
you could embed a little AJAX call in the HC output that will render  
an edit link if appropriate for the user.  The blog sample project in  
the recent distribution shows this effect.  If you are interested,  
let me know and I can outline the steps to implement the AJAX approach.
