A few portlets

address book portlet
The Address Book portlet.

This portlet provides the user a quick glimpse into her address book. By clicking the notepad icon in the upper right corner, the user is taken directly to the /address-book section of the website. The data feed for this portlet is distributed with the Portals package.

bboard portlet
The bboard portlet.

This second portlet lists all of the messages posted to a bboard in the last two days. It is an interface to the gc_bboard package, which does not normally distribute with ACS. Therefore, this portlet is available as a separate package, which may be installed after both portals and gc_bboard.

my tools portlet
The My Tools portlet.

Lastly, the My Tools portlet provides a convenient set of links to some of the site's other features. Unlike previous examples, the data feeds for which are implemented as stored Tcl procedures, this portlet is implemented as a chunk of ADP:

<script language=javascript>

<!--//
function spawn_aim() {
remote = window.open("http://toc.oscar.aol.com/aimexpress/index.html",
   "TICTOC",
   'width=270,height=570,directories=0,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,' +
      scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0'
);
if (remote.opener == null) remote.opener = window;
remote.opener.name = "TICINFO";
}
//-->

</script>
