I need WebSphere Portal to clear Render Parameters on page change. What's happening now -and it's a Navigational State feature of the product- is that the render parameters that I used in some URL's are being encoded in the URL, so even after I leave the page when I return my render parameters are still there.
You can try some of the options from the link below if you're allowed to create friendly urls or modify the theme navigation to use keepNavigationalState attribute.

Edit: I looked up the portlet code where I thought I removed parameters from a RenderRequest. I actually was using the PortletSession to move an attribute from a processAction method to the doView. I then removed attribute from the session so it wouldn't be used on a page refresh. It's kind of a hack and you will need to turn on public session to support anonymous users ( http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wp.exp.doc/wps/srvcfgref.html - Go to Navigator Service) but it's another option to think about.

I'm looking at some code which has broken the saving of changes of a List item in SP2010. In the constructor of the Event Receiver the HttpContext is being stored as a local variable then in the ItemUpdating at the end a query parameter containing the return url is retrieved and passed the SPUtility.Redirect(...). This has the effect of canceling any changes that were made in the edit form. So following so scenarios I've found online I'm storing the HttpContext as a static class object and redirecting in the ItemUpdated event and edits are now persisted followed by a redirect to where we are expecting.
I have a concern though with storing a specific user's HttpContext as a static on a class which will potentially be hijacked if another user does the same action between the time user 1 sets the context initially and prior to the redirect. User 2 will overwrite the context and there are potential issues.
The only other option I can think of as a quick way out would be to store a static Dictionary where the key is the user id then remove the entry just prior to redirecting so as to not leave stray HttpContext instances leaking.
So looking at the accepted solution from here the first response by servy42 states The fact that it works for a few trivial test cases at first doesn't make it a viable solution. but doesn't suggest a viable solution.
There's another option best approach may be changing Save Button in ribbon such that when clicked, a ECMA script first save your Item, then redirect to other page, or open other page in dialog. suggested further down but is that the only other way to go?
I'm fairly new to SP and just trying to navigate through the wealth of wrong ways of doing things with my limited knowledge, whilst unfortunately being stuck with SP2010.
Any thoughts on how to go about this?

Edit: Further info as requested
So there are two sites one say called A which will have a sub site called B. A has a List and adding an item to that list triggers event receivers which creates sub site B and other related stuff. If I modify the B "item" from the SharePoint list of Bs then I don't need to redirect and returning to the list is fine. If I'm looking and a neatly rendered Gantt chart on A listing the Bs the if I edit B after clicking Save we need to come back to A. If I'm on B there's an edit button as well so I want to return to B after editing and clicking save.
So we have the source= appended when we go to the edit screen. From some reading I've done it seems SharePoint will pick that up and redirect. One of the fields on the edit page is the relative url beneath the A site and if that changes then the redirect url will no longer be valid and throw a 404 so we replace the old B sub path with the newly entered value. But we then need code to redirect to the new location.
I am not quite sure whether i understand your requirements correctly. But i will give it a try. Just a quick summary of what i understood (correct me if i am wrong...):
You have a Root Web in a site collection with a list
Each entry in that list corresponds to a subsite which will be created on List Item creation (ER) below the Root Web as a subsite
List items can be edited from both the List in the root web as well as from the subsite it maps to
On editing from the subsite you want to return to the subsite after saving
My approach would be this:
Follow the steps described in this article SP Dialog and List Forms
Open a dialog on the subsite that links to the edit form of the root web.
After saving the user finds himself already where he should be
Hope this helps... Cheers!
Edit: Just read the requirement about changing of url. Create a custom Edit Form which you enhance with some js that passes values back to the origin site -> Parameters in dialogs. You may then react accordingly in the javascript callback and redirect to the new url.
I need to change and customize the login page, implementing the
"IviewService"
isn't not good enough, i need the full layout.
any idea ?
Implementing a custom IViewService is exactly how you change the full layout.
However, if you want to change only the login page, you can do so by adding your own html that implements the same angular logic as the existing login page and adding it to a folder named templates with a file name of _login.html.
If you want to modify the layout (the headers) then you need to do the same this time naming the file _Layout.html.
This is all detailed in the documentation, with the above listed as "Replacing partial views".
I am building an application for Facebook that needs to be able to retrieve some custom parameters. I read that app_data is my solution and that I can easily retrieve the data I need by putting them there.
Now, I have made a custom page tab dialog that work great - really.
$response = $facebook->api("/".$pageWhereToInstallApp."/tabs","POST",array ('app_id' => $appID,'access_token'=>$accessToken));
As far as I've understood it the app_data parameter needs to be passed when the page tab is created. But, I can't find anywhere how I specify this parameter in the above code.
Any help is much appriciated.
Thank you.

As far as I've understood it the app_data parameter needs to be passed when the page tab is created.
That’s wrong (and would not make much sense, because that way it would be a rather static parameter).
You have to pass it when you link to your page tab app from somewhere external:

As per the GWT docs, there are two ways two internationalize my GWT app. One is, declare the language in the HTML itself (hardcoding) through meta tags, another is to use a query param in the URL (like &locale=de).
My webapp is dynamic,different users from different locales will be using it, so the first option is not viable. The 2nd option is fine, but somehow, appending query params to a URL is my pet peeve. I tried to make it dynamic by doing something like $("head).append("<meta name='gwt:property' content='locale=de'>"); first thing on onModuleLoad, it doesn't work.
My app will actually be a redirection, some other web-page will contain a redirection like foo.com&locale=de. Based on that, it will load the required locale fine. But after that, I want to reload it again without showing the query param in the URL, taking the locale information from cookies which can be set in the first load. Is it possible to do so?
There is a third option using cookie.
Reference - GWT Internationalization for dynamically generated content
Ensure you set locale value to the cookie or have a default value for your cookie before user chooses his locale. In our case user chooses a language before login ( where i set the cookie locale value for the user) and read this into the gwt application on load.
Adding the parameter to a model (in a Controller) and picking it up on the client (in a *.jsp) will work for you?
<meta name="gwt:property" content="locale=${locale}">
Then you just need to refresh the page and reset the locale value in a controller. Add the meta-tag code in your html/jsp page, it should be there prior to page loading.
onModuleLoad works with code already loaded to the browser window, so appending meta after loading will not work.
I think there are a few similar questions that seem to suggest using app_data in the signed request (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/signed_request/) but I'm not sure if it will be possible to do what I am trying to achieve with it as I've never used it before.
If I have my Facebook 'Tab' Url as follows:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/PAGE_TITLE/PAGE_ID?sk=app_APP_ID
What I want to do is add an extra parameter on the end as follows:
&WT.mc_id=email-uk-8014
The reason for this is for tracking purposes and links will be sent out of the form
http://www.facebook.com/pages/PAGE_TITLE/PAGE_ID?sk=app_APP_ID&WT.mc_id=email-uk-8014
and the extra parameter will allow us to track the campaign id.
As you can see I have no way of knowing the value of the parameter beforehand as it depends on the link clicked by the user so is it possible to somehow get the value of the WT.mc_id parameter inside my iframe app?
app_data is the only parameter passed through other than the page ID and user's basic details (locale and if they do/don't like the page) - you'll need to use that for any sort of campaign tracking (or link elsewhere and redirect to the tab after capturing your analytics data)
you can pass get variables in facebook but only in canvas application
you just have to use $_REQUEST['xxx'] to retrieve the data.
you should not pass the param in href of facebook. Instead just make linking inside your app so that you can track the events. As you will be in iframe and having complete control you can do same on your own site.
