Forum component

[rahul_kumar11]

Hi,

Can i use forum component in my own site.

Seen changes on forum component for 5.5,5.6 and 6.0 versions.

In AEM6.0 (SP1)

Directly copied default component from and pasted in apps folder and changed the paths too. If i make any changes on page its not reflecting on page.

If i change in default /libs/social/forum/components/topic/listitem-template.jsp  file able to see changes on page.

Is it the proper way? to directly copy from libs folder.

Thanks in Advance.

Kumar.

Yes - you can overlay the Forum component. I would create a new forum component - ie -myFormComponent. Then copy the logic from libs to the new component. Then you can extend the logic under myFormComponent and use it in your AEM pages.

Have you taken a look at the way the Forum component is built in the Component Guide?

Hi, I did the same thing but somehow it doesn't work. Checked clientlibs and dependencies but somehow the functionality is not up and running.
