Actions

This section represents the components related to managing Content actions and scripts in eXo Platform.

Action Service Container

The ActionServiceContainer component is used to manage actions (adding, removing, or executing actions, and more) in the system. The configuration of this component is found in ``

/core/core-configuration/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/wcm-core/core-services-configuration.xml``.
<component>

            <value>repository</value>
        </value-param>
    </init-params>
</component>

Details:

  • Value-param:

Script

This service is used to manage scripts in Content. These scripts can be registered and executed in the system.

The configuration of this component can be found here.

<component>
  <key>org.exoplatform.services.cms.scripts.ScriptService</key>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.cms.scripts.impl.ScriptServiceImpl</type>
</component>

Content arrangement

This section describes services related arranging content in eXo Platform, consisting of:

Lock Service

The LockService component is used to manage all locked nodes and allows unlocking the locked nodes in the system. It is also used to assign the Lock right to a user or a user group or a membership. The configuration of this component is found in /core/core-configuration/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/wcm-core/core-services-configuration.xml.

<component>
  <key>org.exoplatform.services.cms.lock.LockService</key>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.cms.lock.impl.LockServiceImpl</type>
</component>
Taxonomy Service

The TaxonomyService component is used to sort documents to ease searches when browsing documents online. It provides a multi-dimensional set of paths to find a document. In many cases, you can get your content by using different category paths. Therefore, after creating a document somewhere in the repository, it is possible to categorize it by adding several taxonomy references. By browsing the taxonomy tree, it will be possible to find the referencing article and display them as if they were children of the taxonomy nodes. Taxonomies are stored in the JCR itself and the JCR Reference functionality is used to provide the advanced Content feature. The tree of taxonomies can be managed simply, such as copying/cutting/pasting nodes, or adding and removing taxonomies from the tree. Once a taxonomy has been added, any user who has access to the "Manage Categories" icon from his/her view can then browse the taxonomy tree and refer one of its nodes to the created documents.

Uncached Macros

This plugin is used to list the macros which must not be cached. This is required for macros generating dynamic content (meaning the content generated by the macro can change even if the wiki page source is not updated). Generated HTML version of Wiki pages are cached to avoid generating it again at each display. If a page contains macros producing dynamic content, its HTML version must not be cached to be sure it is always up to date. For example the rss macro provides new content as soon as new articles are published on the remote website, so it must be listed as an uncached macro. The default configuration of this plugin can be found in wiki-service/src/main/resources/conf/portal/cache-configuration.xml.

Sample configuration:

<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.wiki.service.WikiService</target-component>

Manage Drive

This plugin is used to create a predefined drive into a repository. A drive can be considered as a shortcut in the content repository, a quick access to some places for users. You can restrict the visibility of this drive to a group/user and apply a specific view depending on the content you have in this area.

A drive is the combination of:

  • Path: the root folder of the drive.
  • View: how we can see contents, such as by list, thumbnails.
  • Role: the visibility to every users, a group or a single user.
  • Options: allow you to specify whether to see hidden nodes or not and to create folders in this drive or not.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.ManageDriveService</target-component>
The configuration is applied mainly in ``
packaging/wcm/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/dms-extension/dms/dms-drives-configuration.xml``.

The following structure is used for drives configuration.

<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.ManageDriveService</target-component>
    <component-plugin>
        <name>manage.drive.plugin</name>
        <set-method>setManageDrivePlugin</set-method>
        <type>org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.impl.ManageDrivePlugin</type>
        <description>Nothing</description>
        <init-params>
            <object-param>
                There are initializing attributes of org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.DriveData object
            </object-param>
        </init-params>
    </component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>

The file that contains the structure above will be configured in the configuration.xml file as the following:

<import>war:/conf/wcm-extension/dms/drives-configuration.xml</import>

Manage View

This plugin is used to create a predefined View into a repository. A View can include many object parameters. Parameters are used to create default Views, Templates and Actions of Manage View service. View enables administrators to customize View classification that can impact on users in exploring workspace. Each object-param has a type that is a class representing all properties of a View.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.cms.views.ManageViewService</target-component>

The configuration is applied mainly in packaging/wcm/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/dms-extension/dms/dms-views-configuration.xml.

Template

This plugin is used to create templates into the system. A template is a presentation to display the saved information.

The node type template is used to edit and display the node content. Each node type has one dialog1.gtmpl file (dialog template) for editing/creating a node and one view1.gtmpl file (view template) for viewing the node content. Using the dialog template, you can specify a dialog whose fields correspond to the properties of the node you want to edit their values. When this template is rendered, each specified field will appear with a data input box for you to edit. Note that you do not have to design a dialog in which all data of the node are listed to be edited. You can just list the subset of node data you want to edit. Like the dialog template, the view template renders information of the node. You just need to create the template and specify which data fields to be displayed. With this kind of template, node information is only displayed but cannot be edited. See details at ContentType.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.cms.templates.TemplateService</target-component>

The configuration is applied mainly in packaging/wcm/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/dms-extension/dms/dms-templates-configuration.xml.

Sample configuration:

This below example is configuration for the nt:file template, any other template will be put in the same level with this template starting from the line <object type="org.exoplatform.services.cms.templates.impl.TemplateConfig$NodeType> as the another node type.

Publication Deployment

This plugin is used to publish content. This plugin checks if content is enrolled to a publication lifecycle or not. If content has been enrolled, this plugin will unsubscribe content from the publication lifecycle. The configuration is applied mainly in webapps/acme-website/WEB-INF/conf/acme-portal/wcm/deployment/acme-deployment-configuration.xml.

Sample configuration:

<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>

WCM Publication Deployment

This plugin is used to inject content at the server startup. Being considered as a substitute for the deprecated XMLDeploymentPlugin, it is better because it allows both injection and publication to be done at once.

In configuration, plug it to the following target component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>

Sample configuration:

<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>
    <component-plugin>
        <name>Content Initializer Service</name>

XML Deployment

When a site is created, most of end-users want to see something in the page instead of a blank page, so you need this plugin to deploy some "default" contents, such as Banner, Footer, Navigation, Breadcrumb.

There are two main cases to use:

  • The site is created only one time when the database is cleaned.
  • The site is created at runtime, when a user uses the core features of the GateIn portal.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>

The configuration is applied mainly in samples/acme-website/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/acme-portal/wcm/deployment/acme-deployment-configuration.xml.

Sample configuration:

<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>

Each user can have a default personal calendar created. Use the NewUserListener to configure that. To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.organization.OrganizationService</target-component>

The configuration can be found here.

          <!-- The event category's name will be get from resource bundle by key "UICalendars.label." + defaultEventCategory's value.
               If the key does not exist, the defaultEventCategory's value will be used to display.
               Sample:
                  If the value is "defaultEventCategoryIdMeeting" then the resource bundle key is "UICalendars.label.defaultEventCategoryIdMeeting".
                    The value of this key is "Meeting", so "Meeting" will be display as default event category.
                  If the value is "Not exist key", because this key doesn't exist in resource bundle then
                    "Not exist key" will be display as default event category.

               If the key does not exist, the defaultCalendarCategory's value will be used to display.
               Sample:
                  If the value is "defaultCalendarCategoryId" then the resource bundle key is "UICalendars.label.defaultCalendarCategoryId".
                    The value of this key is "My group", so "My group" will be display as default calendar category.
                  If the value is "My calendar category", because this key doesn't exist in resource bundle then
                    "My calendar category" will be display as default calendar category.

               If the key does not exist, the defaultCalendar's value will be used to display.
               Sample:
                  If the value is "defaultCalendarId" then the resource bundle key is "UICalendars.label.defaultCalendarId".
                    The value of this key is "Default", so "Default" will be display as default calendar.
                  If the value is "My calendar", because this key doesn't exist in resource bundle then
                    "My calendar" will be display as default calendar.

Init data plugin

The Init data plug-in is used to define the default data in the .xml file. It includes nodes (node of jcr). When the org.exoplatform.services.jcr.config.RepositoryServiceConfiguration component is initialized, the org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.config.RepositoryServiceConfigurationPlugin component will be get and the addConfig function is called. Then, the /ks-extension/jcr/storage-configuration.xml file is loaded and the component org.exoplatform.forum.common.jcr.KSDataLocation will be initialized. Next, the setLocation function is called, setting up the workspace for the Forum, Answers and Polls applications. After that, the addPlugin function will be run, generating the DataLocation (some parent nodes) for the Forum, Answers and Polls applications.

The following is the list of applications and the corresponding components used to initialize the default data.

Application Component Description
Forum KSDataLocation, ForumServiceImpl Initializes default data of the Forum portlet.
Answers KSDataLocation, FAQServiceImpl Initializes default data of the Answers portlet.
Polls KSDataLocation, PollServiceImpl Initializes default data of the Polls portlet.

In this section, you will understand how to initialize data via the sample configurations later.

Initializing the conf-part for loading repository-configuration.xml

When the server starts, the jcr-configuration.xml file is initialized. The addConfig function will be referred to the org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.config.RepositoryServiceConfigurationPlugin component-plugin to load the war:/ks-extension/jcr/repository-configuration.xml file.

<component-plugin>
  <!-- The name of the plugin -->
  <name>Sample RepositoryServiceConfiguration Plugin</name>
  <!-- The name of the method to call on the RepositoryServiceConfiguration
       in order to add the RepositoryServiceConfigurations -->
  <set-method>addConfig</set-method>
  <!-- The full qualified name of the RepositoryServiceConfigurationPlugin -->
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.config.RepositoryServiceConfigurationPlugin</type>

      <value>war:/ks-extension/jcr/repository-configuration.xml</value>
    </value-param>
  </init-params>
</component-plugin>
  • In which:
Name Set-method Type Description
RepositoryService ConfigurationPlugin addConfig org.exoplatform.services. jcr.impl.config.Repository ServiceConfigurationPlugin Reads the configuration of JCR data to initialize data.
  • Init-params
Name Possible value Default value Description
conf-path string war:/ks-extension/jcr/repository-configuration.xml The path to the repository-configuration.xml file.

Initializing workspace name and repository name in storage-configuration.xml

In details:

Once the war:/ks-extension/jcr/repository-configuration.xml file has been initialized, the server will load the storage-configuration.xml file, and the setLocation function in the org.exoplatform.forum.common.conf.DataLocationPlugin component will run.

<external-component-plugins>
  <target-component>org.exoplatform.forum.common.jcr.KSDataLocation</target-component>
  <component-plugin>
    <name>ks.data.location</name>
    <set-method>setLocation</set-method>

  </component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>

In which,

Value-param Possible value Default value Description
repository string repository The JCR repository for KS data.
workspace string knowledge The workspace for KS data.

Initializing JCR structure

Once the workspace name and repository name are registered, the server will load org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.hierarchy.NodeHierarchyCreator and the addPaths function in org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.hierarchy.impl.AddPathPlugin is called. Then, the data location will be built.

Roles plugin

The roles plug-in component defines roles in Forum of eXo Platform. This convenient application defines access to a set of functions within the application. Currently, it only defines the person who has the administrator role. Administrators can get access to administration functions. At runtime, the application gets data from the roles plug-in to decide whether the logged user has the administrative role or not.

Configuration

The plug-in is configured in the roles-configuration.xml file.

When the user signs in, his or her username, group and membership will be compared with the user roles defined in the .xml file that is provided by the roles plug-in component.

In particular, at runtime of ForumService, the roles plug-in component is called. The role plug-in is configured in the roles-configuration.xml file. The plug-in component named add.role.rules.plugin will be referred to org.exoplatform.ks.common.conf.RoleRulesPlugin to create users for Forum corresponding to users who exist in the organization database. In addition, the list of users who have the administration role are also defined.

add.role.rules.plugin addRolePlugin org.exoplatform.ks.common.conf.RoleRulesPlugin Adds role rules.
  • Init-params:
Name Possible value Default value Description
role string ADMIN The name of role.
rules string root The rules of role.
  • When the role-configuration.xml file is executed, the administration role (with ADMIN value) will be checked and assigned to a matrix of users/groups/memberships defined inside the "value" tags as below:
<value>...</value>

For example:

...
<value>root</value>
<value>john</value>
<value>/platform/administrators</value>
<value>member:/VIP</value>
<value>validator:/VIP</value>
...

In the example above, the default administrators of Forum include root, john, users in /platform/administrators group and users who have member/validator memberships in the VIP group.

When being root, the users who belong to the /platform/administrators group or who have the member/validator memberships in the VIP group and sign in the Forum, they will be identified as the default administrator of Forum.

To add or remove the default administrator of the Forum, simply edit the roles-configuration.xml file, add or remove the relevant "value" tags.

...
<values-param>
  ...
  <value>...</value>
  ...
</values-param>
...

The default administrators of the Forum can only change their roles by editing in the roles-configuration.xml file.

At runtime, modifications in the roles-configuration.xml file will be read and database will be updated. Normal users of the Forum and default administration will be created correspondingly.

Forum plugins

This section describes the main component plugins used in Forum, sample configurations with explanation about init-params and how to use these plugins.

BBCode

The BBCode plug-in component defines default BBCode data in the .xml file, including BBCode tags, for example, I, B, U, SIZE, COLOR.

When the BBCode Service runs, it will get values returned from the BBCode plug-in component to initialize default BBCode data.

Configuration of default BBCode data

The default BBCode data is configured in the bbcodes-configuration.xml file.

In particular, at runtime of BBCode Service, the BBCode plug-in component is called. Then, the bbcodes-configuration.xml file will be executed, and the component-plugin named registerBBCodePlugin will be referred to org.exoplatform.ks.bbcode.spi.BBCodePlugin to execute some objects that will generate default data.

At runtime, the new changes in the prune-configuration.xml file are executed and updated. After that, the Auto-prune plug-in will be executed, depending on its properties.

Forum Group Listener

This plugin is used to remove space forums and user groups stored in categories/forums/topics.

You can find the configuration file of this component at: ``
extension/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ks-extension/ks/ks-configuration.xml``.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:

<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.organization.OrganizationService</target-component>
