This guide provides an overview of the components available in the
Discovery Framework 1.4.
About components
The Discovery Framework is a portal application, built on the Liferay Portal, that you populate with portlet components.
About component users
This catalog provides information about components from the perspective of two distinct Discovery Framework users. These users have different objectives and different access to component controls.
Modifying component appearance
In any component, the power user can modify certain aspects of the component's appearance on the Look and Feel page.
Using page transitions
Page transitions allow a component on one page in your Discovery Framework application to pass data to a component on another page. In addition, page transitions let you specify the tab state on a tabbed component on that page.
Using deep linking
Deep linking allows users to construct URLs that take them from an external site to a target page in the Discovery Framework. In effect, these URLs act as external bookmarks to the Discovery Framework.
