what is the meaning of morpheus in portal level an

Question

Can anyone explain the use of the Morpheus portal and skin in Sakai? What I mean to ask is, how do I enable those things and what are the differences to the neo skin and neo portal code in Sakai?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Morpheus is the new responsive design portal (the primary UI) which will be available in Sakai 11 (and is in a preview state for Sakai 10). The neo portal is the portal which was developed and released for Sakai 2.9. Before that the portal was known as the Charon portal.

MORPHEUS=Mobile Optimized Responsive Portal for Higher Education Using Sass

Answer 3

Morpheus (Mobile Optimized Responsive Portal for Higher Education Using Sass) is the new responsive design portal (the primary UI) which will be available in Sakai 11 (and is in a preview state for Sakai 10). The neo portal is the portal which was developed and released for Sakai 2.9. Before that the portal was known as the Charon portal.

If you want to test it you should really be using Sakai trunk (instead of 10.x). Either way, the following setting needs to be enabled in your sakai config file (typically sakai.properties). Make sure you check that they are not duplicated in the file.

portal.templates=morpheus
portal.neoprefix=
skin.default=morpheus-default

Also, if that doesn't work then check to make sure the morpheus dirs exist in the reference/library/src/webapp/skin directory. If they don't then you need to update to a newer version of the code.
