Description

« Hide

In order for users to use the page order helper tool without messing up all their existing sites that currently use toolOrder.xml there needs to be a flag that can be set on a site if a site is being reordered that when set changes the ordering given to the portal to reflect the order set. Or something like that.

We would like to deploy the page order helper but use toolOrder.xml. Ideally we'd like something so that the Page Order is visible for anyone in Site Info, but when you go into it you can choose:

* Default order (use or reset order to the toolOrder.xml ordering)
* Custom order (as per the pageorderhelper arrangement)

So it seems what is needed here is to change getOrderedPages() site/site-impl/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/site/impl/BaseSite.java to take account of a site setting.

Is this a new site property, or something in the site API? I'm willing to create a patch if there's an approved way to implement this, as we are keen to deploy pageorderhelper in a way that coexists with toolOrder.xml.

One can now set this in Site:

setCustomPageOrdered(true)

The order of pages that the portal uses will then be the site order, not the toolOrder.xml order.

The admin site editor now also shows and edits the flag.

There is conversion to the site table needed - auto ddl takes care of the conversion, the new site ddl has the new field, and the 2.3 -> 2.4 scripts are updated to include the conversion.
