AnswerEventLifeCycle
installs event updates for the Answers data that is injected while saving answers, saving questions or posting
comments.
You can find the configuration file of this component here.
For example, to add Answers to a space of the Social application and keep new activities of Answers updated to the activities of space, do as follows:
<external-component-plugins>
<target-component>org.exoplatform.faq.service.FAQService</target-component>
<component-plugin>
<name>AnswerEventListener</name>
<set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>
<type>org.exoplatform.forum.ext.impl.AnswersSpaceActivityPublisher</type>
</component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>
In which,
AnswersSpaceActivityPublisher
is the class to implement ForumEventLifeCycle.
To use the AnswerEventLifeCycle class, do the following steps:
Create a new class that extends AnswerEventListener.
For example: ABCActivityPublisher
public class ABCActivityPublisher extends AnswerEventListener {
....
}
Override functions in this created class. In each function, you can write anything to meet your needs.
public class ABCActivityPublisher extends AnswerEventListener {
public void saveQuestion(Question question, boolean isNew){
....
}
public void saveAnswer(String questionId, Answer answer, boolean isNew){
....
}
public void saveAnswer(String questionId, Answer[] answers, boolean isNew){
....
}
public void saveComment(String questionId, Comment comment, boolean isNew){
....
}
}
The saveQuestion function is called when a question is added and/or edited.
The saveAnswer function is called when an answer is added and/or edited.
The saveAnswer function is called when answers are added and/or edited.
The saveComment function is called when a comment is added and/or edited.
Add a new configuration to the configuration.xml
file with the type that is the class created in the Step 1.
<external-component-plugins>
<target-component>org.exoplatform.faq.service.FAQService</target-component>
<component-plugin>
<name>AnswerEventListener</name>
<set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>
<type>{package}.{class name}</type>
<!-- example
<type>org.exoplatform.forum.ext.impl.ABCActivityPublisher</type>
-->
</component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>
