Implementing Community Forum on WM 9.8.5

I am having trouble with the implementation of the community forum on one of our websites.

At first I followed the instructions by "Martin van Mierlo" on a local community version (WM 9.10.0) of GX Webmanager. Without much trouble I was able to implement the forum.

When I tried the same steps on one of our business installation. I was able to get an empty forum running. But where I could select a Form for the login on my community edition, this form isn't available on the business edition.

So my questions:

1. Am I just missing some forms or do I need to check other things
to be certain?
2. Where can I find those forms and which forms (including rules,
handlers etc.) do I need?

Greetings, Bart

Hi Bart

I just tried it myself on a clean GX WebManager SDK. (I assume you mean the SDK when you say 'business edition'?)

One of the differences between the SDK and the Community Edition is the 'web user' forms. In an SDK you have to import the webuser forms. This will provide you with forms for login/logout and editing user profiles, including a set of pages.

Steps to import them:
- go to the /web/setup, tab 'Content import'
- choose your web initiave and upload the file 'webmanager-webuserforms-9.10.0.jar'. You can find this in the directory 'webmanager-content'
- click Next + Next + import
- Login in to GX WebManager
- you'll see a new set of pages called 'Gebruikersprofiel formulieren' you can make these visible on the website by removing them from the list 'Do not show in navigation' of the homepage
- Go to the website. You can now login and use the user's session to create topics etc.

Good luck!

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the explanation. I have been able import the forms and thus log in.

The forum I'm trying to get implemented is: forum-1.0.0.jar

Next to that the "Webuser formulieren" are coloured red in the pageslist within Webmanager. Is that because I copied them from a Community Edition onto a SDK?

Hi Bart

The forum depends on Jquery and as most sites already include jquery it doesn't include it a 2nd time. You have to either include the jquery.js file in the forum or in the main JMouders page template, then it will work.

Regarding the red pages: did you import the ZIP file as a developer or Administrator user? You can delete the pages and form and try again as a developer user, then they should appear in the normale blue color

Hi Bart,

On a side note: if I'm not mistaking there is a 1.0.1 version out of the Community Forum.

Hi Martin,

The option you presented works. I had tried that before, but apparently not good.

But thanks for the assistance.

Great!
