PUBLIC - Old Liferay Portal (Use Liferay Portal Standard Edition)

I would also like to see the option on this where the default community can be specified and locked for a user. This would for example allow a community to be defined for a group of people, providing information that you want them to always see on login, but (assuming they have the privileges) they can also have their own private community to display portlets that may not appear in the main community, but which they have access to.

Just wanted to encourage you all to keep this one on the 4.2.1 radar screen if possible. I just ran into a new requirement for this exact feature.

Best,

Neil

Just wanted to clarify my requirement a little. I need to have communities like:

• Member
• Silver Member
• Gold Member
• Platinum Member

And if a user makes a $donation$, I want to be able (as the administrator) to easily set the default community for that user to the appropriate membership level. So if Method#1 listed above will give the administrator that ability, then that would satisfy my requirement.

Thanks,

Neil

I'd like to add my thoughts on this - what we'd like is basically a link between a virtual host, organization, location, guest; and private communities for that host, along with defaults for users created "via" that virtual host. For example:

www.a.com --> guest community "A-GUEST" --> create new user --> creates user in org "A" with defaults to private community "A-PRIV"
www.b.com --> guest community "B-GUEST" --> create new user --> creates user in org "B" with defaults to private community "B-PRIV"

when a user for either site logs in, then are automatically brought to their specific private community.

I would think a fairly simple interface could be used to map the relationship between the virtual host and the default communities, as well as the ability to create a new virtual environment (host, org, location, guest, and private) programatically based on a template environment, or perhaps an "inheritance" model where a base host, etc... is setup and then others can just inherit from that base, using a new URL as the starting point.

Along these lines, we'd also need the ability for the same person to create accounts across multiple web sites as if they were completely independent - i.e. jsmith@hotmail.com could register at www.a.com and www.b.com without ever knowing they were running on the same instance of liferay.

By enabling this model, it allows for a scalable hosting model.

Hi Brian,

Any chance this can be kept for 4.4.1 as I am waiting to complete some work based on this feature. Would really appreciate it if it does not slip again.

Thanks,

Iain
