Get the latest gCube Portal Bundle

http://gcube.wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/index.php/GCube_Portal_Installation and install it.

Get the needed dependencies for the Social Extension

Social Networking Library from maven (get the latest) nexus-search;quick~social-networking

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.gcube.portal</groupId>
  <artifactId>social-networking-library</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
  • Create a folder _social-library in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib
  • Copy in the yet created floder the SNL Dependencies & the Netflix Astyanax Dependencies:
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.netflix.astyanax</groupId>
  <artifactId>astyanax</artifactId>
  <version>CHECK THE VERSION IN SNL POM</version>
</dependency>
  • Get the latest ASL Social Extension and copy it into the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/_application-support-layer folder

Notifications

For notifications to work you will need to deploy the Notification Servlet on the Portal. The client code is instead implemented in the social-dockbar-hook provided in the portal bundle.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.gcube.portal</groupId>
  <artifactId>notificationchecker</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <type>war</type>
</dependency>

Create the Social Portal Layout on Liferay

The Layout of the Data e-Infrastructure Gateway Community must be updated, the following pages should be created (pay attention to friendly url and the hidden property)

  • Workspace
    • Name: Workspace
    • Friendly URL: workspace
    • Visibility: hidden
  • Messages
    • Name: Messages
    • Friendly URL: messages
    • Visibility: hidden
  • Notifications
    • Name: Notifications
    • Friendly URL: notifications
    • Visibility: hidden
  • Profile
    • Name: Profile
    • Friendly URL: profile
    • Visibility: visible
  • Join New
    • Name: Join New
    • Friendly URL: join-new
    • Visibility: visible

Populate the pages with the related portlets.

Staging Procedure

The Cassandra Cluster needs to be "staged" the first time you are going to use it.

  • Create the RuntimeResource for the Cassandra Cluster
    • The Runtime Resource with name SocialPortalDataStore of type Database must be created in the root Vo of the infrastructure.
      • The Access Point part should have the following settings:
...
 <AccessPoint>        
         <Description>$CLUSTER_NAME</Description>
         <Interface>
            <Endpoint EntryName="$KEYSPACE_NAME">$HOST:$PORT</Endpoint>
         </Interface>
....
  • Create the RuntimeResource for the Files Storage
    • The Runtime Resource with name SocialPortalDataStore of type FTPServer must be created in the root Vo of the infrastructure.
      • The Access Point part should have the following settings:
...
 <AccessPoint>        
         <Description>FTP Server</Description>
         <Interface>
            <Endpoint EntryName="D4Science.org FTP Server">ftp.d4science.org</Endpoint>
         </Interface>
....
