Jorge Ferrer Hace 13 años @Jonas, please note that we are NOT merging organizations and communities into one. That is an option that has been considered in the past but was discarded because it had drawbacks. The solution explained in this post is much better and preserves both Organizations and Communities (renamed as Sites), because each has a different purpose.@danny There was an interesting thread about this topic that you can follow in the following URL. The thread resulted in a decision to add support for a "liberal sharing mode" to the roadmap and it will be implemented in either 6.1 or 6.2: http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/6772433@Chris Currently a user of an organization is considered a user of the parent organizations. For example, in Liferay's intranet a user of Liferay Spain is also a user of Liferay Europe. For administrators, it can also work up down, in the sense that an admin of an organization may also have permission to manage all suborganizations. Considering this, can you describe what use cases are you missing? Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como...

Yes, I know this is splitting hairs, but most applications like liferay are used by non technical people and therefore the nomenclature really needs to define what is being offered.Assuming the basic premise remains the same, that is a Site or Community is a function for collecting users together for the purpose of interacting with a series of applications (including site building apps), then it would be really useful if how these are named and described can be altered by the admin to suit the particular need of the portal.Liferay is very definitely NOT Google Sites, after all.

Would that be a big deal in your case? Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como... Cancelar Joss Sanglier Jorge Ferrer Hace 13 años HI JorgeIt was more from the control panel I was thinking. In a very complicated portal such as ours where much of the administration is done by a moderation team with assorted permissions, there would be situations where they would need to have control over communities/sites - either because they are creating them or because they need to manage them in a particular way (remove some pages, for instance)I think I can see some confusion growing between what is a group of people and what is a website.To me I tend to think of it with the following flow:1. A group of people come together and we call that a Community of people.2. The Community has tools to help them interact - although these are web based tools such as forums or personal messaging, they are seen as distinct from a Web Site.3. The Community decides to create a website for their community using tools provided.In a slightly odd way Liferay provides for this flow with public and private pages. As an admin I would set up a Community Template that has one public page with something innocuous on it like "Community X" right in the middle. I would then put set community tools on the private pages. (I am ignoring for the moment that the community can add their own pages).The community uses the private pages for establishing and conducting community affairs.If they want to create a "Site" then they would edit the public page.hmmmMaybe this is where the problem lies - rather than in what a Community is, perhaps it is in defining what the Public and Private pages are.I am not against changing a "Community" to a "Site" but I feel that it only addresses half a problem or a problem that only some people have. For some they are grouping people to create sites, for others they are grouping people to create communities. Most, I would suspect, are creating both at the same time - a community which then creates a site.(You could go cross eyes working out the semantics here)At the moment, while we are in design phase, we are being tripped up by this very confusion.A community will be created by an action in the online game. The grouping in the game will define the membership of the community (we will not allow members to join these communities via the portal itself).Once created, the Community is managed by the person who triggered the creation via the game (interestingly, they will not be the owner - that will be a shadowy figure they have no control over since we do not want any of them to have ownership rights).So, this is a community.Now, as part of their tool box, the members of that community can create their Site (public pages) if they so wish. As you can see there is a very defined difference between the community and their public presence - their "Site" if you like.Actually, I dont think this is confined to our particular use of Liferay; I think this is how human beings think naturally. We are a tribal creature and we define everything in those sorts of terms. Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como...

For some they are grouping people to create sites, for others they are grouping people to create communities.

The grouping in the game will define the membership of the community (we will not allow members to join these communities via the portal itself).Once created, the Community is managed by the person who triggered the creation via the game (interestingly, they will not be the owner - that will be a shadowy figure they have no control over since we do not want any of them to have ownership rights).So, this is a community.Now, as part of their tool box, the members of that community can create their Site (public pages) if they so wish.

Joss Sanglier Jorge Ferrer Hace 13 años I know this sounds silly, but would it be possible to change what sites/communities are called?For instance, in the current portal we are developing, which will be merged into a game, "Communities" is the perfect name for what we need for how players are grouped. "Sites" simply doesn't describe it well enough.I think there is also a possible confusion since it is logical to be a member of a "group" or "community" but there is little logic to being a member of a "Site." Yes, I know this is splitting hairs, but most applications like liferay are used by non technical people and therefore the nomenclature really needs to define what is being offered.Assuming the basic premise remains the same, that is a Site or Community is a function for collecting users together for the purpose of interacting with a series of applications (including site building apps), then it would be really useful if how these are named and described can be altered by the admin to suit the particular need of the portal.Liferay is very definitely NOT Google Sites, after all. Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como... Cancelar Jorge Ferrer Joss Sanglier Hace 13 años Hi Joss,Those are definitely good points. The option to rename Sites as Communities will always be there just by overriding the keys in Language.properties that use the term.Another thing I plan to do is to provide some default site templates that use specific terms such as Community, Corporate Site, etc. That way when a user clicks the "Add" button within the Sites portlet he will need to decide as the first step whether he will be creating a Community or something else. Adding to that the fact that it will be possible to filter out which types of sites each user can create, then you get almost what you want.I guess the only issue would be the term of the entry in the Control Panel menu. Would that be a big deal in your case? Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como... Cancelar Joss Sanglier Jorge Ferrer Hace 13 años HI JorgeIt was more from the control panel I was thinking. In a very complicated portal such as ours where much of the administration is done by a moderation team with assorted permissions, there would be situations where they would need to have control over communities/sites - either because they are creating them or because they need to manage them in a particular way (remove some pages, for instance)I think I can see some confusion growing between what is a group of people and what is a website.To me I tend to think of it with the following flow:1. A group of people come together and we call that a Community of people.2. The Community has tools to help them interact - although these are web based tools such as forums or personal messaging, they are seen as distinct from a Web Site.3. The Community decides to create a website for their community using tools provided.In a slightly odd way Liferay provides for this flow with public and private pages.

Seems you're adding support for hierarchical sites, what's the rationale behind this decision?Regards/ Thomas Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como... Cancelar Jorge Ferrer Thomas Berg Hace 10 años Hey Thomas,I'm glad you are liking 6.2.Regarding not having added the ability to link an existing site to an org, you are right and I feel really bad about it. The only reason is that it fell off my radar and we haven't received much feedback asking for it so it didn't become a priority for Prod Management either.I'll take a quick look tomorrow, but I doubt it will make 6.2, sorry.

Thomas Berg Jorge Ferrer Hace 11 años Hi Jorge,Thanks for your answer! Sorry to hear that it won't be a part of 6.1 but good to hear it will be part of a future release. I think this feature is very important because only then, the pain of choosing site or organization is truly alleviated. If you have created a Site and at some point realize you need hierarchy, just create an organization and connect the site to it! Since there's currently no way to make a site into an organization (and vice versa), the problem with choosing still exists at this point.Regards/ Thomas Por favor identifíquese para votar.

Atif Hussain Hace 11 años Nice feature Jorge, I want to ask , can I make liferay construct and Organization structure on bydefault/startup. For example, in my case there is one organization on the first level, then on the second level there are 'n' organizations, then these 'n' organizations have 'n' children with users. So it is very difficult to make this whole structure through control panel, every time after Database refresh. Thanks in advance. Por favor identifíquese para votar. Contestar como...
