Configure the size of the community description summary

Use configuration settings to set the maximum size of a community description summary.

To edit configuration files, use the IBM WebSphere Application Server wsadmin client. See Start the wsadmin client for details.

The community description summary displays on the Public Communities and My Communities pages.

To set the size of the community description summary...

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

   1. Access the Communities configuration files:

      • Stand-alone deployment:

        execfile("communitiesAdmin.py")

      • Network deployment:

        execfile("WAS_HOME/communities/Dmgr01/config/bin_lc_admin/communitiesAdmin.py")

      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 change the size of the community description summary...

   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.

   The following table displays information regarding the community description summary property and the type of data that you can enter for it.

   The community description summary property

   Property	Description
   descriptionSummary.size	Determines maximum size in characters of a community description summary. This property takes an integer value.

   For example:

   CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("descriptionSummary.size", "40")
   

3. 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.
