To Customize the DiscussionLite Channel Link Display Window

Steps

1. Change directory to PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/default/DiscussionLite directory and edit the following JSP files.

   • display.jsp - In this file, comment out or delete the following line:

     <a href="<%=desktopPathInfo%>?last=false&Discussions_dmode=vl&did=<%=Encoder.urlEncode(url)%>"><B><search:getValue soifAttribute="title" escape="true" truncate="28"/></B></a>

   • discussionLiteContent.jsp - In this file, comment out or delete the following lines. :

     Map pathInfo = new HashMap(); pathInfo.put("action", "content"); pathInfo.put("provider", "JSPDynamicSingleContainer"); pathInfo.put("JSPDynamicSingleContainer.selectedChannel", "Discussions"); pathInfo.put("last", "false"); pageContext.setAttribute("pathInfo", pathInfo); <dtpc:getDesktopURL id="desktopPathInfo" pathinfo="$pathInfo"/>

2. Replace all occurrences of desktopPathInfo with dt.

   The desktopPathInfo ensures that links are always displayed in the Discussions channel in a JSPDynamicSingleContainer. Remove this if you want links to be displayed in the Discussions Channels on the same tab. For example, replace the following line:

   <td align=center><font size="-1"><a target="ps_main" href="<%=desktopPathInfo%>?Discussions_dmode=cmt">New Discussion</a></font>

   with the following:

   <td align=center><font size="-1"><a target="ps_main" href="dt?Discussions_dmode=cmt">New Discussion</a></font>

   This procedure will work only if Discussions and DiscussionLite are displayed on the same tab as in the sample portal. DiscussionLite links will be displayed in the Discussions channel on the right side on the collaboration tab.
