[Building Sakai] How do I setup my sakai instance with xsl-portal?

[John Bush]

We use it here, its working just fine in 2.6.

If you are going to be doing some web design with it, here is some  
helpful info.

# turn off to allow runtime changes of xsl template, meaning you don't  
have to restart tomcat to see changes
xslt-portal.cacheTemplates=false

Also, you can attach ?xsltUseTemplate=xml to the end of any url, and  
the browser will spit out the raw xml that is used in the  
translation.  You can use this in conjunction with an xsl editor to do  
offline work.

If you are wanting to modify the portal.xslt file you don't need to do  
it in the source, you can simply copy it into a skin and the portal  
will pick it up there.  This makes maintaining portal customizations  
super easy in terms of upgrades.
