Creating Favorites

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a custom java iView which would allow the user to add his/her favorite urls (yahoo, cnn, bbc etc..) . Basically the same functionality that a standard browser provides for storing favorites. Just that this functionality should be provided as an iView within the portal.

I tried using the standard KM favorites iView but it is not customizable. Its very integrated and one of the functionality that is not acceptable which is in this iView is basically giving the user the power to look into other users favorites and add those if necessary. So this iView is not serving the purpose.

I tried to think of implementing a custom solution but I think I am hitting a wall. Anyone done anything like that ?. i.e

built a simple custom java iView solution to allow users to add simple url links as favorites.

Thanks,

Hi Sunil,

we developed a custom Java iView which shows user favorites. In addition the iView provides functionality to administrate favorites.

In our case the best way to store the data was as custom attribute connected to an IUser object.

Hi Stefan,

Have you got any sample code / par file that I can look at to get an idea of how exactly u implemented the user favorites in a custom java iview.

You can email me the par file at sunil.lalwani@nbcuni.com

Hello Sunil,

Have received a copy of the Java Favorites Iview from Stefan?

How is it? Would it be possible to send me a copy at sboutin@gazmetro.com?
