apply rules or workflow to a forum?

[dado]

A Forum Space would be well suited to capturing issues/tasks.  However I don't believe rules or workflows can be applied to forums.  Can the forum content type be extended to support rules and/or workflows?

[davidc]

Rules and workflows can be applied to any node in the repository including forums (which are sub-types of folder).

For forum spaces, I do not see link to "Manage Content Rules" and no way to create a workflow.  No problem creating simple workflow and/or rules for regular spaces.  Using Version: Community Network - v1.4.0

do it in web-client-config-custom.xml in your <extension> folder :

      
<config>
  <actions>        
    <action-group id="forums_actions_menu">
      <action idref="manage_space_rules" />     
    </action-group>         
  </actions>
</config>

I added this in the web_cleint_config_custum.xml file as you mentioned, and now the Manage content rule shows in the menu. But if I click the action, nothing happens (no define rule window)

ps : I tried this on 2.9 B only



<config>
  <actions>      
    <action-group id="forums_actions_menu">
      <action idref="manage_space_rules" />    
    </action-group>        
  </actions>
</config>

Probably navigation rule is not defined.
Take a look in faces-config-navigation.xml.

Probably you need to define your own navigation rule to allow jsp page of manage_space_rules from forum.jsp

To override navigation you have 2 ways
- do it in web-client-config-custom
- do it in your own META-INF/faces-config.xml
