Customizing forum topic details view definitions by using inline editing | HCL Digital Experience
You can customize your forum topics details view definitions by defining the following settings in inline editing mode. Forum topic details are represented by content items of the forum topic details authoring template. This customization is normally done by a web designer or a page editor.
About this task
To define these settings, you need the access permissions for editing the web content item that represents the view definition. You do not need edit access permissions to the Web Content Viewer portlet that shows the view definition.
The
following settings and options are available for customizing social
list view definitions by using inline editing:
- Name
- Use this setting to specify a name for this item. The name must consist of at least one
alphanumeric character (
a-z, A-Z,0-9). It can include spaces and the following special characters:$ - _ . ! ( ) , - Display Title
- Use this setting to specify the display title for this item.
- Details Appearance
- Use this setting to select the appearance component that generates the details view of this
item. You can select only HCL Web Content Manager Personalization
components that have the keyword
ibm.portal.socialrenderingassigned in their profile section. To enable the profile section for Web Content Manager components, you must set thecontrol.Cmpnt=com.aptrix.pluto.taxonomy.ProfileControlproperty in the WCMConfigService.properties file and restart your portal.
