[Using Sakai] Sakai 2.9 Orientation Tutorial

[Bryan Holladay]

Actually, instead of adding that JS to that site, you may want to add
something to the portal like the tutorial does, otherwise you'd have that
tutorial always popping up.  You need to set a user property flag like it
does in:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn//portal/trunk/portal-impl/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/portal/charon/SkinnableCharonPortal.java
(search for
sakaiTutorialEnabled)

Then just add some logic to make sure you are in the correct site and add
some code to the portal VM to call the JS function like:

http://source.sakaiproject.org/viewsvn/portal/trunk/portal-render-engine-impl/pack/src/webapp/vm/neoskin/includeTabs.vm?p2=%2Fportal%2Ftrunk%2Fportal-render-engine-impl%2Fpack%2Fsrc%2Fwebapp%2Fvm%2Fneoskin%2FincludeTabs.vm&p1=%2Fportal%2Ftrunk%2Fportal-render-engine-impl%2Fpack%2Fsrc%2Fwebapp%2Fvm%2Fneoskin%2FincludeTabs.vm&r1=108978&r2=108977&view=diff&pathrev=108978
