This post is a tip about for the following scenario:
"Content Presenter has to show content from the Contribution Repository to Contributors and the Delivery Content for the rest of the users".
WebCenter Portal with multiple Content Repositories
The ideal scenario is to separate Portal-Content contribution from Portal-Content delivery. This post explains how to do it with just one Portal instance.
How can I make Content Presenter working with two Content Repositories at the same time based on user Roles?
First of all there are some points to remember about Content Presenter:
- Two ways to configure it:
- Configuration Dialog: Is the way for end users to configure in Runtime the content to be shown.
Content Presenter Configuration Dialog
- Configuration Properties: Is the way to follow in Design or where the configuration requires complex EL Expressions
Content Presenter Configuration Properties
- TIP: If the Content Presenter is configured via Configuration Properties then any change in Configuration Dialog is override by the Properties one.
Configuration Dialog vs Configuration Properties
Basically the solutions consists in having a Page Parameter that calculates the Content Repository to be used by Content Presenter.
Page Properties calculating the Content Repository
Finally configure Content Presenter using Configuration Properties in order to use the calculated repository
Configuration Properties using dynamic Content Repository
TIP: The Page Parameter can be configured in a Page Style and then each Page created in Runtime will have the current repository
