How to force a Custom Layout in the links sent by e-mail ?

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

For customizing the final user´s view for Discussion Groups,

I created a custom Layout Set "myDiscussionGroupsContributor"

that references a custom Collection List Renderer

"myDiscussionGroupWithoutTopicsContributorCollectionListRenderer"

that references a custom Command "my_join_discussion_thread_contributor"

that has a custom Layout Set assigned "mySingleDiscExplorerContributor".

When accessing the discussions via the final users it works fine

(I´ve already corrected the "Back" link problem acording thread

)

The problem is that when I send a discussion via e-mail

to another user using the "send to" command,

the received link opens the discussion using the default

"DiscussionGroupsContributor", in fact, the e-mail´s HTML code

contains the property "rndLayoutSet=SingleDiscExplorerContributor"

as noted in the following href element:

href="http://myportal:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/

com.sap.km.cm.navigation/discussiongroups/

80b935d9-90a8-2810-17a6-c88c15fd350b/

324e1175-98a8-2810-16a2-ee1c1f9c54bc.dsc?

StartUri=/discussiongroups/80b935d9-90a8-2810-17a6-c88c15fd350b/

324e1175-98a8-2810-16a2-ee1c1f9c54bc.dsc&

rndLayoutSet=SingleDiscExplorerContributor&scHeight=300&

scWidth=220&scPostListWidth=500" target=_blank

The same happens with the link in the subscriptions list.

Does anybody know how to set the layout in these links ?

Hi all,

I solved the problem, so here I post the steps for the solution I found.

1) Modify the Object Type Definitions:

In the CM Repository there is a folder root > etc > oth.

There you have to change the LayoutSet settings in the following files

(I don´t know if it is necessary to modify all of them):

- discussion_post.oth

- discussion_topic.oth

- discussion.oth

- discussiongroups_items.oth

- discussionPostType.oth

- discussionType.oth

- dscGroupsCollType.oth

- dscGroupsItemsType.oth

2) Then you have to reload de OTH settings:

In the Content Management configuration (System Administration >

System Configuration > Content Management)

go to User Interface > Debugging Settings and edit the configuration.

Add your user id to "UI Superusers" then enable

"Enable Rendering Information" and save.

Then go to a KM and clic on "Rendering Information"

(If the link doesn´t appear, refresh your window).

A new window opens, clic in "OTH-Overview"

and then in the new window click on "Reload".

Finally close all popup windows and go to the

Debugging Settings again to disable the checkbox

"Enable Rendering Information"

I hope someone find this thread useful.
