implementation for multiple forums ---------------------------------- Key: JBFORUMS-245 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBFORUMS-245 Project: JBoss Forums Issue Type: Patch Components: Forum Test Suite, Forum Model Layer Affects Versions: 1.0.1 GA Environment: eclipse 3.2.2 , jboss as 4.0.5_cp_04, jboss portal taken from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk since 9 jun 2007, jboss forums taken from http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossforums/branches/forums101P26 since 23 jun 2007 Reporter: Luca Stancapiano Assigned To: Ryszard Kozmik Fix For: 1.0.1 GA Attachments: patch_forums_multiple_src_1.0.1_23_giugno_2007.zip, patch_multiple_forums_src_1.1.0_26_jul_2007.zip hi....I have a patch to use multiple forums into the portal.... updates are many because I added an argument in several method. The principal update is to add a jbp_forums_instances table that contains the instance for the forum and a field jbp_id that represents the instance. You can to add a new forum directly by web adding a preference from portlet instances form of portal. The new forum is represented by a foruminstanceid preference. It is a number that identify a forum. If two instances of forum has the same foruminstanceid , then they are equals, while if those preferences are different , then the forums are different and they will get different categories, forums, topics ...etc etc. I describe my update in steps: STEP 1: DATABASE AND HIBERNATE 1 - added a table called jbp_forums_instances managed through hibernate through interface ForumInstance and class ForumInstanceImpl as for the other tables in the forums 2 - added a field into jbp_forums_categories called jbp_forum_instance_id , that it tie in a one-to-many relation to jbp_forums_instances table and updated Category interface and CategoryImplClass 3 - updated src/resources/setup/setup.sql with the updates over mentioned 4 - updated src/resources/portal-forums-sar/conf/hibernate/setup.txt with the updates over mentioned 5 - updated src/resources/portal-forums-sar/conf/hibernate/hibernate.cfg.xml adding the creation of ForumInstance object into database STEP 2 - PREFERENCES 1 - updated src/resources/portal-forums-war/WEB-INF/portlet.xml adding foruminstanceid preference to configure through web into portlet instances of portal STEP 3 - METHODS 1 - updated findTopics, findTopicsHot, ,findTopicsByLatestPosts , findTopicsHottest, findTopicsMostViewed, findPosts, ,findCategories , findCategoriesFetchForums, findForums, createCategory, findLastPostsOfForums, findForumWatchByUser, findForumWatchedByUser, findTopicWatchedByUser, findTopicWatches and findForumWatches methods into src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ForumsModule.java and src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/impl/ForumsModuleImpl.java to use forumInstanceId argument 2 - created findForumInstanceById, createForumInstance, removeForumInstance into src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ForumsModule.java and src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/impl/ForumsModuleImpl.java to manage ForumInstance objects STEP 4 - TEST 1 - updated src/main/org/jboss/portlet/test/forums/CategoryModelTestCase.java to use new updates for methods 2 - updated src/main/org/jboss/portlet/test/forums/ForumModelTestCase.java to use new updates for methods 3 - updated src/main/org/jboss/portlet/test/forums/TopicModelTestCase.java to use new updates for methods 4 - updated src/main/org/jboss/portlet/test/forums/PostModelTestCase.java to use new updates for methods SETP 5 - ACTIONS 1- added getPreferences method into src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/FormUtil.java. This method is similar to getPreferences of PortalUtil class but it let to get the preferences also for an anonymous user: public static String getPreference(String preferenceKey) { String preference = null; Object o = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext() .getRequest(); if (o instanceof PortletRequest) { PortletRequest request = (PortletRequest) o; PortletPreferences pp = request.getPreferences(); preference = pp.getValue(preferenceKey, ""); } return preference; } 2 - updated all actions and views that need to get foruminstanceid to query and insert forum objects. Updated actions are: addCategory, moveCategoryDown and moveCategoryUp methods of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/action/AdminController.java Updated views are: getCategories and getForums methods of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewAdminPanel.java execute method of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewCategory.java getCategories method of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewJumpbox.java getWatchedTopics and getTopicWatches methods of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewMyForumsAllSubscrived.java getForumsLastPosts, execute and getWatchedForums methods of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewMyForumsEditAllForums.java getWatchedTopics, getForumsLastPosts and getWatchedForums methods of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewMyForumsMain.java loadDefaultTopics method of src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/view/ViewSummary.java 3 - all methods use a FORUM_INSTANCE_ID constant declared into src/main/org/jboss/portlet/forums/ui/Constants.java to call foruminstanceid preferemce
