My bookmarks / favourite folder in intranet

(Qinni Yang) #1

Good afternoon!

 

We are building an intranet and one of the requirements is to allow intranet users to add pages to their own favourite folders, maybe even enable the users to group the items under the folders. Are any of the above possible to achieve in version 5.0.3.0? Thanks!

Are these LDAP/AD users? If they are not, and they are real Matrix users, then you can link pages under their user and then use an asset listing with a dynamic param, set to the current user, to list their pages.

Thanks Nic for your reply :) They are LDAP users, is there a way to implement such function for them?

Sadly no. I cannot think of a way to do this, since you cannot link assets under those Shadow Assets.

You could do similar by creating a folder that matches their username & link assets under there. Then just hardcode the link like http://path.to/favourites/%globals_user_attribute_username%

 

Might be a good idea if you create the favourites under a separate site asset so you can customize the 404 to something friendly if they don't have a page created yet.

 

Could end up a bit ugly but you should be able to get something to work.
