===CCAPI Configuration===
 +
The Social Media Application uses the [[CCAPI_Library_Component|ADF CCAPI]] to populate each of the social media service custom element records with moderation data. The CCAPI needs to be configured for the site and forums application.
 +
 +
First, follow the steps to set up the [[CCAPI Config|CCAPI Config]] file for the site.  Once that configuration is complete, follow the steps below to set up the CCAPI config for the Photo Gallery application.  Make sure to update the ''wsVars'' section with the correct URLs and username/password.
 +
 +
# Create a new page called 'ccapiSocialMedia'. Recommend creating this page in the ''/webadmin/socialmedia/'' subsite.
 +
# Add each of the following Forums elements to the page:
 +
##[[Facebook Pages]]
 +
##[[Twitter Accounts Keywords]]
 +
##[[WordPress Blogs]]
 +
##[[YouTube Channels]]
 +
 +
# For each element that was added, click on the element indicator and go to 'more...'.  Select 'Name' from the menu.
 +
# In the Element Name field, enter the appropriate name for each element:
 +
## ccapiFacebookPages
 +
## ccapiTwitterAccountsKeywords
 +
## ccapiWordPressBlogs
 +
## ccapiYouTubeChannels
 +
 +
# Publish this page and view in read mode.
 +
# Edit the 'ccapi.cfm' file for the site and add the following xml blocks into the <elements> section:
 +
## an example 'ccapi.cfm' file is in the '''pt_social_media > site-files > _cs_apps > config''' folder

 +
<!-- '''Usage''' -->
 +
 +
===Social Media Dashboard Page===
 +
The Social Media Dashboard page is a page is used to manage the Service Feed Cache and the Scheduled task that rebuilds the Service Feed Cache at the desired interval.
 +
This page contains:
 +
*The status of the Service Feed Cache
 +
*The date & time stamp of when the Service Feed Cache was last built
 +
*A button to Force the Service Feed Cache to be rebuilt
 +
*A button to set the Scheduled task to rebuild the Service Feed Cache at regular intervals
 +
*A data table that displays the current status of the Service Feed Cache scheduled task
 +
 +
To build this page:
 +
#Create a new page from the Base Plus One (or a Web Admin) template called 'Social Media Dashboard' in the /webadmin/socialmedia/ subsite.
 +
#In the main content area of the page, add a Custom Script element.
 +
#From the Custom Script element interface, click the "Edit" icon.
 +
#Enter the following text into the Explicit Module path:
 +
#*/ADF/apps/pt_social_media/customcf/sm_dashboard_header.cfm
 +
 +
'''Usage'''<br>
 +
Go to the '''Social Media Dashboard''' section on the [[PT_Social_Media_Getting Started#Social Media Dashboard|Getting Started]] page for more information on usage of this page.
 +
 +
===Social Media Stream Debug Page - ''Optional''===
 +
Since the content for this page is primarily under the control of each of the Social Media Services you are receiving the posts from it maybe necessary to have deeper visualization into the raw data coming from these services.
 +
 +
This page is a version of the Social Media Stream Page with a debug tools header custom script. It may be best to go through the steps to create and configure a standard Social Media Stream page before creating this debugging page.
 +
 +
* [[#Social Media Stream Pages|Social Media Stream Page]]
 +
* ''Configure the Social Media Stream Page'' section on the [[PT_Social_Media_Getting Started#Configure_the_Social_Media_Stream_Page|Getting Started]] page
 +
 +
It is also '''highly recommended''' that this debugging stream page be built in the Social Media Web Admin subsite so it will be protected by the Web Admin security settings.
 +
 +
To construct your Social Media Debugging Stream page complete the following steps:
 +
 +
#Create a CommonSpot page with a name of 'Social Media Debug' and a title of 'Social Media Debug' using the Social Media template and place it in the '/webadmin/socialmedia/' subsite.
 +
# In the main content of the page, add a Custom Script element.
 +
# Enter the explicit module path for:
 +
#* ''/ADF/apps/pt_social_media/customcf/sm_debug_links.cfm''
 +
# Place the ''SocialMedia Selector'' Custom Element on this page.
 +
# From the ''SocialMedia Selector'' element click ''More'' in the element interface. 
 +
# Click the ''Custom Render Handlers'' menu option, and choose the ''Default'' or the ''Social Media Combined Stream'' Render Handler.
 +
# Submit the Page.
 +
 +
'''Usage'''
 +
 +
Once the page has been created and configured to display posts from the selected Social Media services you can use the debug tools checkboxes to select different raw data dump combinations and then click the link to reload the page.
 +
 +
When the page is fully reloaded, there will be Coldfusion data dumps visible above the posts that will display the raw data that is used to build the stream page.
 +
 +
If Social Media errors have occurred for the various services, links will be generated to allow access to open the error log files from the CommonSpot logs folder.
 +
 +
(Remember: This debug page needs to remain dynamic since it uses URL variables to modify the<br>Feed Stream Output. Please make sure that CommonSpot Caching has been disabled on this page.)

Back to PT Calendar 

IMPORTANT: v3.0 HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED!!

Download

Download the Calendar Application from the Community Site Project or from the SVN Repository.

Extract the zip files into the following directory: /ADF/apps/pt_calendar/

Site Configuration

The Calendar Application is built within the ADF. The ADF 1.5.3 or greater must be installed in the site to run the Calendar Application, follow the ADF Installation instructions.

  • Make sure the ADF is setup and running on the site. If the ADF is not setup, then follow the instructions for ADF Installation.
  • Open the sites 'ADF.cfc' (See Site Configuration (ADF.cfc) for more info) file (located in your site's /_cs_apps/ directory) in a text editor. Locate the Load the ADF Application into application space comment in the file. Add (or uncomment) the following command under the comment section:
loadApp("ptCalendar");

Styles

There are several out of the box style options for the Social Media application. Most of the styles are defined in the following style sheets located in the /style directory within the ADF Social Media App directory:

  • /ADF/apps/pt_social_media/style/calendar.css

You have two options: you can either load them into your Base Plus One (recommended) or your can load them into the Calendar Templates you create.

Note: the classes and styles defined for the Calendar app are targeted tightly for the layout generated by the Social Media application and should not interfere with your site styles. However, it is a good idea to give these styles sheets higher precedence in your style definitions.

Import Custom Elements

The Calendar App has several Custom Components defined within CommonSpot. These components are available in the Calendar's "exported-objects" folder located at the root of the Social Media application directory (e.g. /ADF/apps/pt_calendar/exported-objects/)

To import these objects, you will need to be an administrator for your site.

Create a "PT Calendar App Elements" category and import all portions of each component in the order listed.

Import Custom Elements:

  1. ptCalendar Configuration (ptCalendar-Configuration-Custom-Element.zip)
  2. Calendar Page Mapping (Calendar-Page-Mapping-Custom-Element.zip)
  3. Calendar Organizations (Calendar-Organizations-Custom-Element.zip)
  4. Calendar Event Recurrence (Calendar-Event-Recurrence-Custom-Element.zip)
  5. Calendar Event Details (Calendar-Event-Details-Custom-Element.zip)
  6. Calendar Event DateTime (Calendar-Event-DateTime-Custom-Element.zip)
  7. Calendar Event Categories (Calendar-Event-Categories-Custom-Element.zip)
  8. Calendar Display Properties (Calendar-Display-Properties-Custom-Element.zip)

Verify Imports

The imported components' render handlers and custom field types must be verified. During the import process, the render handler and custom field types paths may have been changed to reflect the current site's path.

Review and update these paths to reference the ADF path. In most cases, this will just require to be unlocked and a change in the path from the site name to 'ADF'. Check the paths for the custom field types that were imported with the custom elements by unlocking them and fixing the explicit paths to point to "/ADF/extensions/".

If the custom elements that are imported contain custom field types that are already in the site, the naming convention for the custom field type will be unique. To resolve this, unlock the field types and elements, and reassign the element field type to the pre-existing field type.

Example: The SocialMedia Selector custom element contains two uses of the General Chooser field type, if the General Chooser field type is already installed on the site then the import process will attempt to import another General Chooser but with a new name such as "General Chooser_import_1250003208472." To resolve this issue, open the custom element and assign the field type (General Chooser_import_1250003208472) to the field type with the simple name General Chooser. After reassigning the field type, delete the new imported field from the list of custom field types.

App Configuration

The Social Media App uses a custom element to store site specific configurations.

Most of these configuration fields will not need to be modified from their default values. Although, there are a few fields that the values will need to be customized for your specific install of the application. These fields are be listed below.

There are several configuration fields:

Note: The other API fields in the configuration element (not listed here) should NOT need to be modified from their default values.

Subsites

It is highly recommended to have a Web Admin subsite that contains a Calendar subsite that will contain the Management pages for the calendar administrators. This allows security to be setup for the subsite to allow only administrators access for the webadmin subsite.

Your site may already have a webadmin subsite. The steps below will add a calendar subsite into the webadmin subsite.

Web Admin Calendar Management

  1. If it does not exist, create a new subsite under the site root called webadmin.
  2. Create a new subsite under webadmin called calendar.

Social Media Dashboard Page

The Social Media Dashboard page is a page is used to manage the Service Feed Cache and the Scheduled task that rebuilds the Service Feed Cache at the desired interval. This page contains:

  • The status of the Service Feed Cache
  • The date & time stamp of when the Service Feed Cache was last built
  • A button to Force the Service Feed Cache to be rebuilt
  • A button to set the Scheduled task to rebuild the Service Feed Cache at regular intervals
  • A data table that displays the current status of the Service Feed Cache scheduled task

To build this page:

  1. Create a new page from the Base Plus One (or a Web Admin) template called 'Social Media Dashboard' in the /webadmin/socialmedia/ subsite.
  2. In the main content area of the page, add a Custom Script element.
  3. From the Custom Script element interface, click the "Edit" icon.
  4. Enter the following text into the Explicit Module path:
    • /ADF/apps/pt_social_media/customcf/sm_dashboard_header.cfm

Usage
Go to the Social Media Dashboard section on the Getting Started page for more information on usage of this page.

Social Media Stream Debug Page - Optional

Since the content for this page is primarily under the control of each of the Social Media Services you are receiving the posts from it maybe necessary to have deeper visualization into the raw data coming from these services.

This page is a version of the Social Media Stream Page with a debug tools header custom script. It may be best to go through the steps to create and configure a standard Social Media Stream page before creating this debugging page.

It is also highly recommended that this debugging stream page be built in the Social Media Web Admin subsite so it will be protected by the Web Admin security settings.

To construct your Social Media Debugging Stream page complete the following steps:

  1. Create a CommonSpot page with a name of 'Social Media Debug' and a title of 'Social Media Debug' using the Social Media template and place it in the '/webadmin/socialmedia/' subsite.
  2. In the main content of the page, add a Custom Script element.
  3. Enter the explicit module path for:
    • /ADF/apps/pt_social_media/customcf/sm_debug_links.cfm
  4. Place the SocialMedia Selector Custom Element on this page.
  5. From the SocialMedia Selector element click More in the element interface.
  6. Click the Custom Render Handlers menu option, and choose the Default or the Social Media Combined Stream Render Handler.
  7. Submit the Page.

Usage

Once the page has been created and configured to display posts from the selected Social Media services you can use the debug tools checkboxes to select different raw data dump combinations and then click the link to reload the page.

When the page is fully reloaded, there will be Coldfusion data dumps visible above the posts that will display the raw data that is used to build the stream page.

If Social Media errors have occurred for the various services, links will be generated to allow access to open the error log files from the CommonSpot logs folder. 

(Remember: This debug page needs to remain dynamic since it uses URL variables to modify the
Feed Stream Output. Please make sure that CommonSpot Caching has been disabled on this page.)
