These objects allow the layout developer to iterate over the defined pages, and detect the currently active page. If you are interested in the code please let me know how I can submit them your repository.

Can you archive this and send it over to julien, martin, or me please?

To define each its page and the portlets assigned to it.

Our ears are open. ;-)

I'm not sure we've discussed this idea, and I'm not really sure how this has real-world application. Martin (which is on vacation) may be able to elaborate his thoughts on it.

The above 3 are. Until we have dynamicity (2.2 Blade), this is the way to deploy your portlets.

  |   | You are correct. I will change it.
