Enable topic posting in different deployments
Enable users to take forum topics in one IBM Connections deployment and post them to a different IBM Connections deployment.
Users can click Bookmark or Discuss This on any IBM Connections page to install a Discuss This button in their browser toolbar. When a user clicks the button, the content of the current page is added to a forum topic the user selects.
Use the property...
discussThis.enabled
...to enable a similar Discuss This button on every forum topic page. Users can click the button to post the topic as a new topic in a forum in a different IBM Connections deployment. We can specify that deployment in the property...
discussThis.internalHost
For example, if you have two IBM Connections deployments in the enterprise, A and B, we can allow forums users in Deployment A to post topics to Deployment B forums. To enable this feature, check out forums-config.xml in Deployment A and specify the address of the forums application in Deployment B. When users open a forum page in deployment A and clicks the Discuss This link, they can select the target forum on Deployment B from a pop-up dialog. If the users are not logged in to Deployment B, they are prompted to log in before they can post the new topic. Users must be members of the group mapped to the discussThis-user role on Deployment A (the default is Everyone).
- On the Forums server in Connections deployment A, check out forums-config.xml.
- Enable the feature
ForumsConfigService.updateConfig("discussThis", "true")
- Specify the address of the forums application in deployment B:
ForumsConfigService.updateConfig("discussThis.targetBookmarklet", "http://forums_appserver.enterprise.com:9081/connections/bookmarklet")
- Check in forums-config.xml.
- Restart the Forums application.
