Do we still need commonConfig file? #39

Closed driskull closed 9 years ago

driskull commented 9 years ago

@kellyhutchins Do we still need commonConfig file? Would there be a better way to do this via some rest service?

kellyhutchins commented 9 years ago

@driskull we added it to support the current portal implementation. However we added it mostly to handle support for common services and the bing key. Some of that might not be such an issue anymore and may be discoverable in other ways. I'm going to sit down with Ian in mid-January and look at the portal template workflow and see if we can get rid of it. I'll keep you posted.

cool thanks. Maybe you can talk to him about #33 as there might be a better way to do it as well.

That one is trickier. I spoke to Blake about it a bit and we couldn't come up with an alternative but I have a note to spend a bit more time investigating alternatives.

We already do a call to get the organization info, maybe it could be within that request?
