Unread flag for web content or asset

[Ritabrata Mukherjee, modificado hace 10 años.]

Hello,
Is it possible in Liferay to have a read/unread flag for web content or assets? For example, if user 1 clicks on say, a news item, then that news item will get marked as 'read' for that particular user. But, that same news item can stay marked as 'unread' (and displayed as unread) for other users. If this feature is not provided out-of-the-box, any advice on the best way to develop this ??

Thanks,
Rito

Hi Ritabrata,

The portlet Announcements do what you want.
This portlet is concerned by 2 tables :
- announcements
- annoucements_flags

When a user mark announcement as read, an entry is added in announcement_flags table with userid and announcementid.

Maybe, you can see how is done and you inspire it.

Regards,

Antoine

Thanks for the tip Antoine. I will look into this portlet and let you know what I come up with.

We were able to implement WCM read/unread flag using a custom content structure, extension was not required.

How does custom structure will work for all asset types (read/unread), brief details about your impl. will help community though.

Thanks.
