ForumEventLifeCycle
enables you to listen to the lifecycle of a forum. By implementing ForumEventLifeCycle, you can be notified of new
posts and replies, categories and topics. This installation will be injected when the data flow is called to save
data.
You can find the configuration file of this component at:
integ-forum-social/src/main/resources/conf/portal/configuration.xml.
For example, to add a Forum to a space of the Social application and keep new activities of Forum (such as new posts and topics) updated to the activities of space, do as follows:
<external-component-plugins>
<target-component>org.exoplatform.forum.service.ForumService</target-component>
<component-plugin>
<name>ForumEventListener</name>
<set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>
<type>org.exoplatform.forum.ext.impl.ForumSpaceActivityPublisher</type>
</component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>
To use ForumEventLifeCycle class, do the following steps:
Create a new class that extends ForumEventListener.
For example: class ABCActivityPublisher
public class ABCActivityPublisher extends ForumEventListener {
..............
}
Override functions in this created class. In each function, you can write anythings to meet your needs.
public class ABCActivityPublisher extends ForumEventListener {
public void saveCategory(Category category){
....
}
public void saveForum(Forum forum){
....
}
public void addTopic(Topic topic, String categoryId, String forumId)){
....
}
public void updateTopic(Topic topic, String categoryId, String forumId){
....
}
public void addPost(Post post, String categoryId, String forumId, String topicId){
....
}
public void updatePost(Post post, String categoryId, String forumId, String topicId){
....
}
}
The function saveCategory is called when a category is added and/or edited.
The function saveForum is called when a forum is added and/or edited.
The addTopic function is called when a topic is added.
The updateTopic function is called when a topic is updated.
The addPost function is called when a post is added.
The updatePost function is called when a post is updated.
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.forum.service.ForumService</target-component>
<component-plugin>
<name>ForumEventListener</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>
