Fix For: 1.0.1 GA
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
