Safe groupID for creating categories via code

[Jan Tošovský, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hello Everyone,

I can create category/vocabulary from JSP as there is no problem access the groupID of the current layout. In Java code this procedure fails because of inappropriate GroupID. The only object I have is WikiNode node. When node.getGroupId() is used, the created category is visible only if that wiki is not scoped. Otherwise it is created without errors, but not accessible/visible anywhere.
When the zero value is used instead, I am getting error No Group exists with the primary key 0.

ServiceContext serviceContext = new ServiceContext();
serviceContext.setScopeGroupId(groupId);

Map<locale, string> titleMap = new HashMap<locale, string>();
titleMap.put(LocaleUtil.getDefault(), vocabularyName);
AssetVocabularyLocalServiceUtil.addVocabulary(userId, StringPool.BLANK, titleMap, null, null, serviceContext);
</locale,></locale,>

Is there any safe groupId number which could be used for this. Otherwise I will have to pass it as parameter...

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

I think what you can do is this. If the group is scoped, get the group of the actual community/organization. isLayout() checks if it is scoped or not.

				group = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getGroup(groupId);

				if (group.isLayout()) {
					long parentGroupId = group.getParentGroupId();

					if (parentGroupId > 0) {
						group = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getGroup(parentGroupId);
					}
				}
