RSS feed on dashboard?

justin

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to allow users to subscribe to the RSS feed of different spaces and the feed panel appear on "My Dashboard".

Also, for forums, is there a notify function so that when activities happen, users who posted to the forum can be notified, kind of like the Alfresco forum.

Thanks,

Justin

Hi,

Dashboards can displays templates (examples are already provided - the My Documents dashboard is a template) and the RSS feed is just a template that outputs XML in the RSS format.

It doesn't matter what a template outputs, so why go the extra step of converting XML back into HTML - which you would need to do to create a dashlet that understood the RSS output and displayed it in a useful way - when you can just create a template that performs the same function. There already exists a template called "recent_docs.ftl"which displays the documents modified in the last 7 days (the RSS feed template is based on this one!). You could create a very simple dashlet that displays this template for a space.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

I have tried the proposed dashlet and, when selected and activated, I get the following error:

An error occurred in one of the dashlets.

    * Se ha producido un Error al procesar la plantilla 'Expression space is undefined on line 10, column 11 in alfresco/templates/recent_docs.ftl.'.

Any idea on what is wrong with the template?

I?m using v1.4RC1 and the template content is:

<#– Table of docs in a specific folder, that have been created or modified in the last week –>
<h3>Documents created or modified in the last week</h3>
<table cellpadding=2>
   <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td><b>Name</b></td>
      <td><b>Created Date</b></td>
      <td><b>Modified Date</b></td>
   </tr>
   <#list space.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('cm:content')]"] as child>
      <#if (dateCompare(child.properties["cm:modified"], date, 1000*60*60*24*7) == 1) || (dateCompare(child.properties["cm:created"], date, 1000*60*60*24*7) == 1)>
         <tr>
            <td><a href="/alfresco${child.url}" target="new"><img src="/alfresco${child.icon16}" border=0></a></td>
            <td><a href="/alfresco${child.url}" target="new">${child.properties.name}</a></td>
            <td>${child.properties["cm:created"]?datetime}</td>
            <td>${child.properties["cm:modified"]?datetime}</td>
         </tr>
      </#if>
   </#list>
</table>

You will need to edit the template to work in the dashlet. In a dashlet there is no "current space" (the 'space' variable in the template). Since you want to display the documents in your home space, change the reference to 'space' to 'userhome':

<#list userhome.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('cm:content')]"] as child>
‍‍‍

Then it should work.

Hi,

Suppose I have a space that has many children and grandchildren-level spaces within it. I want any addition of files in the children spaces be visible from the "mother space". How can I achieve that?

Thanks,

Justin

The code mentioned above show content for all spaces, including child spaces, note the XPath expression:

<#list userhome.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('cm:content')]"] as child>
‍‍‍

The .// part means "current node and all descendants".

Thanks,

Kevin
