Hi Alex,
Last couple of days I had to deal with lot of Single
Sign On Developments with uPortal but couldn't do any
HC developent at all from where I left. But
HC also will be on production in the next release
Hence now I am going to do the final touches, UI
customization and the ajax pipeline (Edit link).
As per your response please see my observationsto know
the following

How can I create the above /skin/page-edit-link.vm
file
should I have a seperate resource-directory in my
project definition file.

within uPortal what we have is jsps infact the portlet
development strategy is struts-bridge what this means
is our portlets are not govern by xsls. But still I
will incooperate the above <script type="text/j......
code segment and try but let me know what are the
values that I should give for abs-project-base,
bs-server-base, and request-path assuming my project
is running in the following url
http://<HC Server>:<HC
Port>/hypercontent/test_project/?mode=interactive
Also explain me how does that entire logic works, how
does the HC knows about the user credentials.
