Filtering community lists

Use the CommunitiesListService commands to filter the information in community lists and to generate smaller lists containing more specific information.

To filter community lists.

1. Start the Communities Jython script interpreter
   cd app_server_root/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
   ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython
   execfile("communitiesAdmin.py")

2. Filter the information in community lists and generate new lists.

   The commands can also be used on application lists.

   CommunitiesListService.filterListByApp(List list, String filter)

   Return a new list containing only the communities where the application type matches the regular expression filter. Examples of applications include IBM Lotus Quickr™ Wiki, and Lotus Quickr Teamspace.

   Depending on how the list is returned, we can filter an application from:

   • A specific community, using CommunitiesService.fetchCommByName.

   • The communities a specific user is a member or owner of, when using CommunitiesService.fetchCommByMember.

   The following example gets a list of all the communities the specified user is a member or owner of. The filter command then filters that list by the application name specified. A list of communities associated with the specified application is returned.

   wsadmin>bymember=CommunitiesService.fetchCommByMember("users_email_address")
   wsadmin>CommunitiesListService.filterListByApp(links,"application_name")

   CommunitiesListService.filterListByName(List list, String filter)

   Return a new list containing only the communities and subcommunities whose names match the regular expression filter.

   For example:

   wsadmin>allComm=CommunitiesService.fetchAllComm()
   wsadmin>CommunitiesListService.filterListByName(allComm,"My Community Name")

   This example returns a list of all communities and subcommunities using the fetchAllComm command (command is set to a variable that will be used in the next command) and then filters the results to get the information for a particular community or subcommunity.

   CommunitiesListService.filterListByType(List list, String filter)

   Return a new list containing only the communities and subcommunities whose type (private, public, or publicInviteOnly) matches the regular expression filter.

   For example:

   wsadmin>commByMember=CommunitiesService.fetchCommByMember("jane_smith@company.com")
   wsadmin>CommunitiesListService.filterListByType(commByMember,"publicInviteOnly")

   This example retrieves a list of all the communities and subcommunities for a particular user (in this case Jane Smith) and then filters that list to display all the user's communities and subcommunities that are publicInviteOnly. The fetch command is set to a variable that will be used in the listService command.

   CommunitiesListService.filterListById(List list, String filter)

   Return a new list containing only the communities and subcommunities whose ID matches the regular expression filter.

   For example:

   wwsadmin>all=CommunitiesService.fetchAllComm()
   wsadmin>CommunitiesListService.filterListById(all, 
      "c6a2c680-5933-4efa-9a14-be1723445d30")

   This example returns a list of all the communities and subcommunities and then filters the results by ID to list only the communities and subcommunities where the ID matches the one specified.
