Hi!

Can user have preferences that would be portlet independent?
As a solution expando bridge is suited but if there is existing api that allows to do it more easily?

Thanks!

Default language is one preference that is portlet independent. Exactly what kind of preference are you thinking of?

Evgeny,

PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil might have what you need. You could also take a look at PortalPreferencesLocalServiceUtil or PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil.

Amos, are you suggesting to use the PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil to set preferences on each portlet from properties added to the User model?

Maybe user settings is more proper word.
I need to get information like if user viewed help or not. How many items per page user prefers to see and so on.
