Configure the Forum Plug-in
The Forum plug-in does not require any configuration in order to work. You can, however, control some aspects of the plug-in's behavior by modifying configuration parameters in one or more of your configuration layers, as described below. For background information about configuration layers and how they work, refer to the Escenic Content Engine Server Administration Guide.
In these instructions, the placeholder
configuration-root is used to represent the
root folder of the configuration layer in which you are working. In the
case of the common configuration layer, this will
be /etc/escenic/engine/common
if you have a standard
Content Engine
installation as described in the Escenic Content Engine
Installation Guide. If you have a single-host installation or
multi-host installation with configuration layers on a shared (i.e NFS)
file system, then you will only need to carry out the changes described
below once. Otherwise you will have to repeat them on each of your
engine hosts.
The general procedure for configuring the Forum plug-in is:
-
If the configuration-root
/com/escenic/forum
folder does not exist, create it. In the rest of these instructions, the placeholder forum-config is used to represent this folder. -
If the forum-config folder does not contain the
.properties
file(s) you require (see below for details), copy it/them from/opt/escenic/engine/plugins/forum/misc/siteconfig/com/escenic/forum
. -
Edit the
.properties
files to meet your requirements.
