Setting Custom Social Group Properties Possible?

Hey Guys,

I was curious to see if anyone knew if this was possible:

I currently have some code in an FTL that looks at a system propety for document's to spit out some properties to documents GLOBALLY. Basically something like:

<#if (JiveGlobals.getJiveProperty('property1')?exists)>
        <#list JiveGlobals.getJiveProperty('property1')?split(",") as globalValue>
           <h1>${globalValue}></h1>
        </#list>
    </#if>

I also have another section of code that does something similar for container properties, so that a certain property can be set per COMMUNITY to affect the document's of a specific community ONLY:

<#if (container.properties['property1]?exists)>
        <#list container.properties['property1']?split(",") as containerValue>
            <h1>${containerValue}</h1>
        </#list>
    </#if>

My question is, is there something similar that can be used / modified to do a custom SOCIAL GROUP property? I wasn't sure if this was possible, so I thought I'd ask the support community.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

We do have the social group properties that you are looking for in SBS, You can get to them through the Admin Console. Go to People > Management > Group Summary. Then click on a particular group > Group Properties, and then you can add any extended properties that you'd like. In the java code you can get to the property using the command (assuming you've got something that implements the group interfac named 'group'):

group.getProperties()

which will return a map<string, string> of the extended properties. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

Re: Setting Custom Social Group Properties Possible?

Hey Kevin,

I'm not seeing this for social groups I create in Jive SBS 4.0, when utilizing the "People > Management > Group Summary" method.

When I do that, I only create the actual user-groups I created (that contain members and admins), but nothing about any of the social groups I created.

I apologize if I am not understanding something correctly, is there a disconnect?

Thanks in advance !

Re: Setting Custom Social Group Properties Possible?

Hey Asif,

No, the disconnect was with me. I apologize, I led you to the wrong place. I led you to permission groups. Sadly, there isn't really much you can do with social groups in the way that you're thinking. They were made to be managed by regular registered members of the instance, and so they don't have a lot of options that would get system admins involved. If you would like to do something like a customization for your social groups, your best bet is to use a system property and just make up a new one that only pertains to your social group. Sorry again for the misunderstanding. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Kevin
