Hi

This documentation is based on the Content Store and related to 6.2 version of Collaboration Room Creation. I am in NW04 and when I follow the document in Template creation, steps do not match. It still gives me Exception at the end of this step. Pl. help.

Thanks

Hi Kalyan,

I'm afraid you did some mistakes when configuring the room extensions. In your documentation it looks like you have configured only one room extension where you chose the "CM Discussion Extension" but with wrong parameters.

It looks like you have two pages, each with one iView, so the iView "Downloads" and "DicussionGroups". In total you would need to configure 3 Room Extensions.

What you would have to do is to go back to the Room Template Configuration of your Template and there to the Extensions Tab. Delete the existing Extension and create the following ones:

1. Go on Add Extension and choose the Name "Downloads", the Extension Type "CM Room Extension" and the Extension Point "ON_CREATE_ROOM". You would need a configuration similar to this:

<b>Input Parameters:
Name             Parameter Mapping      Value Help                   Fixed Value</b>
Store            Use Value Help         Documents
Template         Use Value Help         No Value    
Workspace Name   Fixed Value            No Value                     Downloads
Access           Use Value Help         Public
Entry Points     Use Value Help         No Value
Dependence       Use Value Help         No Value

<b>Output Parameters:
Name             Mapped                 Parameter</b>
Workspace
Workspace Path   YES                    downloads_path

Save the Extension and then go to the Extension Context-Menu and choose Add -> "ON_DELETE_ROOM", and without special parameter settings press OK.

2. Go on Add Extension and choose the Name "DiscussionPermission", the Extension Type "CM Discussion Extension" and the Extension Point "ON_CREATE_ROOM". You would need a configuration similar to this:

<b>Input Parameters:
Name             Parameter Mapping      Value Help                   Fixed Value</b>
Workspace Path   discussion_path        Not Available
Access           Use Value Help         No Value
Dependence       Use Value Help         No Value

Save the Extension and then go to the Extension Context-Menu and choose Add -> "ON_SET_OWNER_OF_ROOM". Choose the same "Workspace Path" as above and press OK.

3. Go on Add Extension and choose the Name "DiscussionPersistency", the Extension Type "CM Room Extension" and the Extension Point "ON_CREATE_ROOM". You would need a configuration similar to this:

<b>Input Parameters:
Name             Parameter Mapping      Value Help                   Fixed Value</b>
Store            Use Value Help         Documents
Template         Use Value Help         No Value    
Workspace Name   Fixed Value            No Value                     Discussion
Access           Use Value Help         Private
Entry Points     Use Value Help         No Value
Dependence       Use Value Help         No Value

<b>Output Parameters:
Name             Mapped                 Parameter</b>
Workspace
Workspace Path   YES                    discussion_path

Save the Extension and then go to the Extension Context-Menu and choose Add -> "ON_DELETE_ROOM", and without special parameter settings press OK.

Now to the mappings:

Go to the Tab "Mappings" and on your page "KBPage" set following mappings for the iView "Downloads":

path              downloads_path
roomId            room_id
StartUri          downloads_path
XFProjectPath     roomstructure_rid

On the page "DiscussionForum" set following mappings for the iView "DiscussionGroups":

path              discussion_path

Now save the room template and try again to create a new room from this template.

I hope the above will solve your problems,
