Community Pages for Connections Cloud
Integrate Connections Communities into your Portal site to enhance your portal's social collaboration capabilities.
You integrate Communities by associating a set of portal pages
with a community. These types of portal pages are called Community
Pages. By associating a set of portal pages with a community in Connections,
all of the Connections portlets on those pages automatically render
their content within the context of that community. One or more communities
can be integrated into your portal site. You can associate different
sets of pages in your portal site with the appropriate community.
The community can be public, moderated, or private.
Note: Before
you add portlets to a community page, make sure that the corresponding
widget exists in the community. For example, before you add a Blogs
portlet to a community page, make sure that the IBM Connections community
contains a blog. If not, add the Blogs widget to the IBM® Connections community using the browser interface.
Some of the ways the portlets on a Portal community page interact
with an IBM Connections community
include:
- Clicking a View all link in a Profiles summary portlet displays a list of community members in the target portlet. This link works only if there is a Profiles detail portlet on the page.
- Clicking the View all link in a Blogs summary portlet displays all entries in a community blog in the Blogs detail portlet on a community page.
- Clicking the entry in a Blogs summary portlet displays the detail of that entry in the Blogs detail portlet on a community page.
Follow the steps for configuring and mapping community pages for your version of IBM WebSphere® Portal.
