Configure display settings


  1. Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the Communities configuration files:

    1. Access the Communities configuration files:

      If you are asked to select a server, you can select any server.

    2. Check out the Communities configuration files...

      CommunitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>", "cell_name")

      where:

      • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied. The files are kept in this working while you make changes to them.

      • cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting the Lotus Connections feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments. If you do not know the cell name, do one of the following to determine it:

        • Stand-alone deployment: Look at the name after the following in the file system:

            WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\

        • Network deployment: Type the following command while in the wsadmin command processor:

            print AdminControl.getCell()

      For example:

        CommunitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")

  2. To view the current configuration settings use this command:

    CommunitiesConfigService.showConfig()

    After updating any of the configuration settings, you can use this command again to display your updates.

  3. To change display settings for Communities...

    CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("<property>", "<value>")

    where

    • <property> is one of the editable Communities configuration properties.

    • <value> is the new value with which you want to set that property.

    For example:

      CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("pagingSupport.defaultPageSize", "15")

    The following table displays the valid properties that can be updated, and additional information regarding each property and the type of data that you can enter.


    Data display properties

    pagingSupport.communityListTags.pageSize Maximum number of tags displayed on the Public Communities and My Communities tabs.

    This property takes an integer value. For example:

      CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("pagingSupport.communityListTags.pageSize", "75")
    pagingSupport.dbNameTypeAhead.pageSize Maximum number of matching names to display in the type-ahead suggestion field when users start typing the names of people to add to a community. These names are retrieved from the SNCOMM.MEMBERPROFILE database table.

    pagingSupport.tagNameTypeAhead.pageSize Maximum number of tags displayed by the type-ahead feature when users add new tags to a community.For example:

      CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("pagingSupport.tagNameTypeAhead.pageSize", "10")

  4. After making changes, check the configuration files back in, and do so during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying property changes for information about how to save and apply your changes.
