    CMS portlet customization HELP

    shtainberg

      Hi,

      I'm looking for a way to customize the cmsadmin portlet.
      Can it be done ?
      Can i write my own cmsadmin portlet? Is there an API for the cms? Where can i find documentation and examples for the API ?

      I'm really having trouble finding inforamtion and examples, please help :-) !

          Of course you can, the source code is available look at core-cms.
          The service is in cms, you shouldn't need to change it, just to use it.

          Look at core-cms to see how you can build your own portlet.

          By the way if you modify and improve the existing portlet, please consider contributing back :)

            Can i do it without modifing the portlet code ?

            I just want some simple API to upload files and add some custom fields for search ...

              You can already upload files. See the current portlet.

              I don't understand what you want to do. You tell me that you want to change the portlet without changing the code, It is not clear to me that you are trying to achieve.

                My final destination , for example , is to have a simple form in which a logged-in user can upload a file and write some input to custom fields (like "related case number") and than have the file uploaded to a directory with the "related case number" string name...

                What is the most simplest way to achive that ?

                  If you want to reuse the current CMS service and browser you can adapt it.

                  Add a field on the form, then query the CMS service to create a CMS folder using the Command org.jboss.portal.cms.impl.jcr.command.FolderCreateCommand

                  But of course you will have to adapt the UI and the backend.

                  You can also create a totally new portlet and call the same CMS service. (See core-cms to see how it works) That would be easier if you want to benefit from bug fixes and improvement of the CMS admin portlet.

                    Another newbie question :-)
                    I mpdified a little the core-cms code and compiled it. How should i deploy it ?

                      Just go to the core-cms directory and type in:

                      ant clean main deploy-explode

                      Also make sure your build/local.properties file is setup according to your local box setup

                      The values are pretty self explanatory

                      Thanks

                        org.apache.jasper.JasperException: File "/WEB-INF/portlet.tld" not found

                        what wrong have i done ?

                          Is the rest of your jboss-portal.sar deployed in your application server

                          I am assuming all your portal stuff is deployed and you are deploying only the core-cms component into the jboss-portal.sar.


                          Also, can you paste a stack trace with your error for a clearer picture of what is happening


                          Thanks

                            now, it's more complex ...
                            I restarted jboss and now accessing the portal gives me this:
                            java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot get portal server

                              Can you post what your jboss-portal.sar looks like after doing the deploy?

                              Also can you post more of the server stack trace as well?


                              Thanks

                                  From the stack trace it looks like your hsqldb-ds.xml maybe missing.

                                  You can copy it over from any other server configuration.

                                  Thats the DefaultDS that you need for the application server.

                                  btw- also try deploying with a clean installation by doing

                                  rm -rf data log tmp work

                                  in the server configuration where your portal is deployed

                                  Thanks

                                    There is a hsqldb-ds.xml file in server/default/depoloy ...
