  • Patent number: 9697190
    Abstract: A system and method involves creating, based upon a set of image rendition parameters, a set of image renditions for an image. A set of previews are selected to display. Each preview includes a markup language file and breakpoints that specify how a particular image rendition from the set of image renditions is displayed. A rendered instance is created for the previews and based upon the particular image rendition and page content. The rendered instances are displayed as part of a user interface. Instructions are received from the user interface. The instructions specify modifications to a particular preview of the set of previews. The markup file is modified based upon the instructions.

  • Patent number: 9342364
    Abstract: A portal view generation system can receive a request from a user for a portal view of a portal site. The system determines which resources the user can access based on the user's permission level on the resources. The system further determines the user's authentication level. Each of the portal resources the user has permission to access are then vetted based on a minimum authentication level needed to view the resource, and the user's authentication level. Those resources which the user has permission to access, but in insufficient level of authentication are excluded from view. The portal view generation system then generates the code to render navigational elements for the user to access those remaining resources the user has both permission and sufficient authentication level to access.

  • Patent number: 9323728
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for coordinating the management of portal pages and its associated web content. A node is created in the portal database representing a draft of a portal page, where the node refers to a data structure that holds structured information pertaining to the portal content (e.g., portlet instances, layout, design). A shadow node associated with the portal page is created in the web content management system, where the web content of the portal page is associated with the shadow node. The shadow node refers to a data structure that stores information used to identify the portal page stored in the portal database. The portal page, after completing various tasks in the workflow process, is rendered by linking the web content of the portal page associated with its shadow node with the portal content of the portal page stored in the portal database.
