Re: Customised document pages

Hi Martin,

 

We've done this in a plugin, to customize the display of documents in a community. I'm not exactly sure the extent of the customizations, but I can take a look at get back to you on the nature of the customizations

Re: Customised document pages

After taking a look at the customizations, there are some custom widgets which is the most of the customizations. There is also some customizations to the create and edit of documents in that space but the documents themselves are actually just documents.

 

Let me know if you have any specific questions on the widgets, or anything else.

Re: Customised document pages

Yes, how would I do this then.  Not quite sure how this would work, and how it's driven.

 

i.e on your plugin pages there is a box for the developer, and the download links.  Is that driven from the database? I.e  if you;ve created a custom widget to allow these docs to be created, is it asking for that data when you create the document?

 

Thanks,

 

Martin

Re: Customised document pages

Well, they have customized the document create action to allow uploading a plugin, and when it uploads, it does some looking into the plugin files to pull out information, and then store it on the document. Those properties are then renedered in the customized document view template file like this:

 

 

<!-- Plugin Info -->

<div class="jive-widget">

<div class="jive-widget-header">

<h4>Plugin Info</h4>

</div>

<div class="jive-widget-body">

 

<ul class="plugin-info">

<li>

<strong>

<#if document.properties?exists && document.properties.pluginName?exists>

${document.properties.pluginName}

</#if>

</strong>

</li>.....

 

RE: if you;ve created a custom widget to allow these docs to be created

That's not a widget, that's customizing the java action classes

 

and RE:  is it asking for that data when you create the document
