EPP 6.0 Beta - How to show only Dashboard Page and hide default Site, Site Editor, Group

[alaxmikant]

Hi ..

Our requirement is to provide end user personalization for Gadgets, which is possile on Dashboard Page along with Dashboardlet Portlet.

However after login initialURI = /portal/classic and shows all the options Site, Site Editor, Groups etc ..

We need to hide them or show them to admin user only.

Groovy template for those option avaiable in exoadmin.war .. 

Need to know approach to handle this case ..

You can specify that only admins can see the portlets on the top of the page. You can edit the shared-layout.xml to specify which parts should be available to which users (gatein.ear/portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/portal/portal/sharedlayout.xml).

I am trying to figure out how you want the site to work. Are you wanting an unauthorized user to have to login, and then once logged in they only have access to the dashboard page? Or is there also going to be more to this than just a dashboard?

Hi Matt ..

Thanks for quick reply ..

Expectation

By default login page should be displayed to all users

Only Admin users should see what is available right now .. Site, Groups, Site Editor and Dashbaord

Users should only see Dashboard Page with Dashboard Portlet...  

Basically .. users should be able to personalize gadgets similar to igoogle.com ...

By default login page should be displayed to all users

This can be done by specifying the security level of the portal to require authorized users

Only Admin users should see what is available right now .. Site, Groups, Site Editor and Dashbaord

Follow what I mentioned in my previous post about configuring this in the shared-layout.xml

Users should only see Dashboard Page with Dashboard Portlet...

Not sure how to do this properly. But if you specify the initial_uri in the login.jsp page, you can specify what page the user will be forwarded to when they login (although this is probably a bit of a hack)

Thanks Matt

I was able to achieve point 1 & 2 via shared-layout.xml and permissions combination.

For re-directing, i did same by changing initialURI in login.jsp but trying better way by extending LoginServlet and writing my own custom login servlet.
