Setting up an editorial folder for public content
creation of an “inbox folder”
First we will have to create a folder where all copies of public content will be stored by the system. In this regard it can be seen as some kind of “inbox”.
We suggest moving files from here into a suitable folder structure (which can be a set up subfolders of this folder) in order to keep the files manageable and tidy.
The incoming data will be stored according to your configuration. By default the objets will be stored in a folder structure like "yyyy/MM/dd".
- Log in as the system admin.
- Locate a folder in you workspace suitable to contain the “inbox folder”.
- Create a folder with a self-explanatory name (e.g. public_content)
- Open the folder and copy the node id from the url.
The node id looks like the bold part of the url below:
http://192.168.1.1:8080/edu-sharing/components/workspace/files?root=MY_FILES&id=cc334edc-9757-4015-81b2-faac6ea6ac74&mainnav=true&viewType=0
creation of an “editorial group”
Now that we have a folder its time to create a editorial group.
- Go to the user management.
- Find the organisation you want the group to be a part of.
- Create the group as described in detail here.
invitation of the editorial group to the “inbox folder”
Now go back to the workspace and locate the folder.
Invite the newly created group to the folder granting at least editor rights as described here.
configuration of the editorial folder
Almost ready - now we just need to do some admin magic.
- Open the Admin Tools.
- Open the "Global System Configuration".
- Scroll to the "Extension configuration file (Override) " area.
Now add at least the following information:
CODE// config for copy-based publishing of nodes publish.node: "the node id of the inbox folder goes here" publish.owner: "the name of the future owner of the content - can be the admin"
- Save.
Thats it.
