    How to set drag and drop functionalities to user

      I have creted 100 user . I have to set the drag and drop functionalities to all the user. How can I do this.

      We can do the drag and drop functionalities in dashboard only. How to configure the dashboard to the user(After the login we have to show only dashboard to the user). In admin side we have option to configure the dashbord. But this dashboard can be access only admin user.


      Questions :

      1) How to configure the dashboard for every user.

      (I have given admin rights at the time of creating user and login to the user and configure the dashboard. After that I have removed the admin rights for that user. Now they can see their dashboard when they login. I know this is not a correct way. so please share your ideas.)

      If you have any ideas please share with me.

      Thanks in advance.

          No you need not set drag and drop manually for 100 users. Just set theme.dyna.dnd_enabled to true in default-object.xml

              Sorry Vivek some text is missing in priviuos post.

              I have created one portal. I have set "core.login.namespace" value is "dashboard" and "theme.dyna.dnd_enabled" is true in the following files jboss-portal.sar/conf/config.xml and default-object.xml . when user login I hvae transfer the user to

              http://localhost:8080//portal/auth/portal/qaimportal/home. but here drag and drop functionality is not enable



              can I configure any dashboard for the user?.

                see, do not confuse with dashboard context with portal context.

                There are two things. When you access url /portal/auth/dashboard/... you are at dashboard context, and when you are accessing url like /portal/auth/portal/... you are at portal context.

                Till now you have set DnD for dashboard context only. To set DnD for portal context, go to default-object.xml and set the theme.dyna.dnd_enabled for individual portals.

                If you set this property for root context, it will make everything DnD enabled.

                In following is the snippet of default-object.xml where I am setting this property with root context.

                  Vivek Dont mistaken me. If I want to access dashboard context means first we have to configure the dashbord correct. Admin side only have the option to configure the dashboard.

                  My question is how to configure the dashboard for user?

                  I am not clear in this . If anything wrong please.

                    A non admin user can go to dashboard and configure his own dashboard. Dashboard is available to all authenticated users, and every authenticated user can configure his dashboard by clicking "configure dashboard" link.

                    According to out of box feature available in JBP, a portal named "template" (defined in default-object.xml and can be modified from admin-portlet) gets copied to every user's dashboard when user logs in first time. After that each user can configure(personalize) their own dashboard.
