Hi,

I am developping a portlet JSR168 bridge for JForum. This bridge has to be independant of th portal and JForum version.

The portlet-bridge works very well for most of view. Unfortunatly, it cannot acces admin page due to Frames (portlet doesn't support frames) and I have to change template src to remove frames.

For futur, version, is-it possible to avoid frames?

Thx.

Hi,

Portlet JSR168 generates only fragments of HTML for "body part" of the page.

So, all tags like <html>, <head>, <link>, <frame>,... (tags that are not allowed as child of <body> ) are forbidden .

Hi,

There is a alpha version of JForumPortlet Bridge.

You can find the code src at:

Jforum + bridge:
http://svn.jahia.org/svn/jforum_portlet/trunk/

Only bridge:
http://svn.jahia.org/svn/jforum_portlet/trunk/src/org/jahia/portlet/

Warning: templates have been refactored:
- remove all <html>, <head> tags
- replace <body> by <div>
- add class selectors (.jforum) for all style (avoid conflict whith portal css)
- add missing url encoding
- remove all enctype for <form> tag (not supported by the specification)

I add a "autologin" and "autoregister" user behaviour in order to synchronize whith portal user

How to deploy:
--> root directory: ant rebuild (there is a property in build.properties that sets the target directory). This task compile the code src, build a WAR and copy it in the target directory

--> hsqldb is not in web-inf lib (I put in tomcat/shared/lib for the moment)

Can be tested whith Jahia Portal v5. (There is a trial version).

Bugs.:
- After installing the JForum, you have to stop ant restart the portal. I am currently triing to fix this bug.
- encoding (ex. french language)
- some links are not yet encoded (specially link from Javascript)
- ...

I have tested whith Jahia, Postgres and hsql.

Hi Khaled,

I'm a newbie in portlet... I'm using jetspeed2 and I would like to get a JForum portlet... Is your portlet available somewhere ? Or could you give me some advice in order to port JForum to a portlet ?

Thanks very much,

Sebastien.

Hi Khaled,

I have successfully build (9 warnings) and installed your portlet JForum 2.1.5 with Jetspeed2 and MySQL.
Just had to correct a known bug in 2.1.5 with MySql (see http://www.jforum.net/posts/list/30/1744.page)

I have put the same login and password both to jetspeed user and JForum but the auto login feature of JForum doesn't work (even after restarting JetSpeed). I need to enter the login and the password both in jetspeed and JForum...

Here are the logs:
Portal user: null

What do you think ?

Thanks,

Hi,

In order to get the portal username, I use this fct:

String username = request.getRemoteUser().

I test if username is not null or not "guest" (Jahia Portal: guest = non portal user). The autologin is performed only if this condition is true. In addition to that, in order to avoid loops (triing for ever to do autoconnect), JForumPortlet tries to autonnect user only one time. Else, it does nothink.

At the moment, when a portal user acces a page whith JForumPortlet, the sequence is:
Is it the first connection? (user not already registered)
--> no: register user whith password "a" (next feature, the password will be encoded) and then connect user whith password "a".
--> yes: try to connect user to JForum whith portal username and password "a". If it doesn't work (e.g: wrong password) then abord.

From the log, the portal user is "admin".

But admin is already recorded (at the installation step) with another password than "a". So JForum can't log "admin".

Solution: try whith another portal user.

Hi ktlili,

Thanks for your answer. I have tried with another login 'member' and it is working well.

But (there are always some but ), does it mean that everybody can log in with password 'a' ? So anybody can log as another user ?

When I log in, on the main page, I have many null fields:

Our users have posted a total of null messages
We have null registered users
The newest registered user is member
There are null online users: null registered, null guest(s) [ Administrator ] [ Moderator ]
Most users ever online was null on null
Connected users: Anonymous

What's your opinion ?

Thanks,
Sebastien.

For the moment portal user password is not "well generated". I use "a" as password only to test the feature. Next step is to do a function that generates a "good" password.

This is an alpha version .

The main goal for me was to do a bridge that is independant of JForum-Version (and the portal, ie. Jahia, Jetspeed, Uportal,...).

You can test the stand alone version of JForum. If there is no "null", it means that it's a bug of the bridge.

KT.

Hi ktlili,

Just to tell you that it is working fine.
I will be back on this portlet later... I have to work on other stuff before.

Thanks,

Hi,
I just deployed portletBridge into liferay and everything is fine. Now i'm trying to understand how and when the Authentication module is used ?
Is it used only when i'm trying to proxy a web_page and i'm behind a proxy(authenticate to proxy with credentials given in advance) ?! Or ?
Please i really need to figure this ? If anybody knows smth please help me.
many thanks

Hi,

I've deplyed your portlet on Weblogic application server and with vignet portal...

It work, but I've some problems...

- For exemple, I can't save the modification under the configuration page of the administration control panel... When I click on "Mettre a jour", I've a 404 error.

- Also, when I'm administrator, I can modifie all the message but, if I try to modifie the the first message of a topic, I've a 404 error...

- I've also another probleme... By default, if I don't add the 'Admin' user in the general group, I can't see the created forums...

- If I try to work on your code, I can't have access to the Administrator controle... the user "Admin" isn't admin !! :S

Have you any idea to resolve my problems ??? Thanks in advance
