[Building Sakai] pda portal and presence

[Charles Severance]

Kenrick,

I am looking at pda.vm in /portal trunk (and 2.9) and find this code:

#if ($currentSite )
#if ( ! ${mobileSmallDisplay} ) 
    #if (${currentSite.sitePages.pageNavShowPresenceLoggedIn})
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $('#usersPresentLink').click(function(e){
                e.preventDefault();
                    $('#presdiv').toggle();
            });
        });

    </script>
    <div class="portletpresence" id="presdiv" style="display:none">
        <iframe name="presenceIframe" id="presenceIframePDA"
            frameborder="1" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto"
            src="${currentSite.sitePages.pageNavPresenceUrl}" >
        </iframe>
    </div>
    #end
#end
#end

If I look in SkinnableCharonPortal.java, I find this line in setupMobileDevice

        //for now just always assume we have a small display.
        rcontext.put("mobileSmallDisplay",Boolean.TRUE);

That mobile code came from Steve Swinsberg when we stopped using WURFL as our PDA detection.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-21334

So our current trunk could do presence if it knew when to trigger it.  If you just wanted to force presence to always be there - patch that one line in SkinableCharinPortal.java and see what happens :)
