Directory Portlet > Guest > View ... HOW?????????????

[Chris Wirth, modificado hace 14 años.]

5.2.3 on Tomcat 5.5... subject line says it all.

When I try to give view permissions to the Guest role for the Directory Portlet -- the drop-dwon menu is inactive.

Can one seriously NOT give directory view permissions to a guest?????????

*lack of permissions, documentation, and LDAP mappings will be THE reasons I give up on Liferay... so much wasted time looking for a needle in a hay stack for simple functionality

Hey Chris,

It is disabled for guest I assume for security reasons so everyone doesn't have access to that info.

The enable it for guest, the file of interest is resource-actions/portal.xml. This wiki shows how although slightly outdated: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Overwrite+Liferay+Portlet+Permissions

1. ext-ejb/classes/portal-ext.properties
* resource.actions.configs=resource-actions/default.xml,resource-actions/default-ext.xml
2. ext-ejb/classes/resource-actions/default-ext.xml
* <resource-action-mapping>
* <resource file="resource-actions/$portletname.xml" />
* </resource-action-mapping>
3. ext-ejb/classes/resource-actions/$portletname.xml

it's actually called ext-impl now. But if you're not using ext environment, just do the same thing in web-inf/classes

Amos, thanks!

I actually used the code from this thread:

Directory Perms for Guest

I created portal.xml at:

C:\liferay\tomcat-5.5.27\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\resource-actions

And added this code:

1
2<portlet-resource>
3
4 <portlet-name>11</portlet-name>
5
6 <supports>
7
8 <action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
9
10 <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
11
12 </supports>
13
14 <community-defaults />
15
16 <guest-defaults />
17
18 <guest-unsupported>
19
20 </guest-unsupported>
21
22 </portlet-resource>

That created an active "view" check box for Guest under the Directory portlet permmisions. While a guest can now see the directory portlet and do a search and get results, they do not have permissions to click the link and see user info... Any ideas??????

Thanks so much for your help.

I think you'll need to edit more view permissions for guests. The ones I found needed are

<model-name>com.liferay.portal.model.User</model-name>
<model-name>com.liferay.portal.model.Organization</model-name>

Hi,

After this code ....

1
2<portlet-resource>
3
4 <portlet-name>11</portlet-name>
5
6 <supports>
7
8 <action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
9
10 <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
11
12 </supports>
13
14 <community-defaults />
15
16 <guest-defaults />
17
18 <guest-unsupported>
19
20 </guest-unsupported>
21
22 </portlet-resource>

... you can now configure your portlet in control panel / Roles / Guest / Define permissions / Add portlet permissions / Directory /

Then you will be able to see the profile of each user even if you are a guest.

Bye

Hi,

I have the same requirement, did anyone succeed in showing directory portlet to guest?
I tried adding default-ext.xml, directory.xml file under resource-actions folder in ext-impl and updated portal-ext.properties to include resource.actions.configs=resource-actions/default.xml,resource-actions/default-ext.xml . But could not see any change.

Thanks for your response.
