Hi all, we are about to be switching to websphere portal and I have been
messing around with the coldfusion portlet toolkit. Anyhow I had a question
that I hope I can get an answer to how can I link from one page to the next,
while staying in the portlet?

So for example say I have page one and page one has a link to page 2 how could
I goto page 2 from one? I have tried many of the examples they have in the docs
but it does not seem to work and there is no clear cut example of what im
trying to do in the docs so I have hoping someone might have an answer for me .

Thanks for any help you can give.

to create a link in a portlet it would be

<a href="#portletResponse.encodeURL(foldr/mypage.cfm)#>link</a>

make sure to include
<cfargument name='portletResponse'>

Thanks for the reply! That does not seem to work correctly, keeps saying cant
find the file even though its point right at it, but would this return the
results in the portlet it self?

Im still trying to get my head around it all and by looking at the samples
that come with the portlet toolkit they seem to have everything in one file?
like all the functions etc all reside in one file? How could I call other page
and things like that?

I have read people saying they can convert apps in a week or two etc but I
must be missing something because I don't get how you call other page and pass
the variables?
Any Help would be awesome, there is just not very much information about the
toolkit online.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion. It does pass a value, but I am not sure it is
exactly what I am looking for. I don't think it takes into consideration all
the attached files and images on the page. When I run a test at
http://www.tasman-webdesign.com/page_size.html I get a value of 34K, where as
the value I get from your code is 8k. You can go to my website and look on the
very bottom of the page for the value I am getting.

I think you answered my question, I guess I just need to expand on it. And
yes, I am using CF6.1. Any more ideas? I am trying to replicate the sc_bytes
and cs_bytes that are passed to the LogFiles.

Thanks again!

I take it you have the WS Portal/CF ToolKit installed installed and you can
create a portlet. I take it you want to load a website into a portlet and
browse through the site. We did this using AJAX - CFAJAX to be exact. If you
have contact info, I can get you some code to help you out.
