227. How to have Teaming start at a landing page

By default, Teaming starts on the user's workspace page. But let's say you want to have the default Teaming URL (e.g., http://yourTeamingHost.com) start at a landing page (i.e., some workspace that you have set up as the starting page for all users). Here is how to do that.

 

1) Start by creating your landing page workspace. Perhaps you have put it in the Global Workspace area (although where it lives is irrelevant).

2) Make sure to set the access control settings for that workspace to allow "All Users" to be visitors. If you want to allow non-logged in users (i.e., "guest" users) to see this page, you need to enable guest access for the site and then add "Guest" as a visitor to this page.

3) Build your landing page. Make sure to include either the left hand sidebar or if that has been hidden, add the Utility/Sign-in Form to the landing page. This will ensure that people can log in.

4) Go to the Manage/Configure form for the langing page and create a "Simple URL" for that workspace. For example, you might leave the first part of the URL "blank" and use "home" as the second part of the URL. This would make the URL look like http://youTeamingHost.com/teaming/home.

5) Go to the serever system and open "webapps/teaming/WEB-INF/web.xml" in an editor.

6) Look for the following section:

 

<context-param>

<param-name>landingPagePath</param-name>

<param-value>/ssf/a/</param-value>

</context-param>

 

7) Change "/ssf/a/" to be "teaming/home".

8) Save the file and restart the Teaming server. Now, when you go to the base Teaming URL you will start at your landing page.

227.1. Re: How to have Teaming start at a landing page

Hi Peter,

 

Thx for these clear instructions. Works like a charm and pretty cool ...

However, somehow lied to this point, some questions:

- when main landing page appears, people can login using login prompt on the side bar. But since they are logged in, theystay at this landing page. Is ther a way to autoamtically log them in their personal workspace after the login ?

- how would you setup a bilingual landing page ? (easiest way ?)

- when, in this landing page, you include a folder element and ask to show the 5 first entries, images (from photo albums) do not appear ? is there a way to let them appear ?

Many thanks in advance for your expertise
