Hello everyone,

By default, Liferay chat portlet shows all online users. I want to modify it to show only friends connected. (Just like it works in Liferay.com).

I've been able to modify the file view.jsp to show only connected friends, but when the chat reload the users (via /chat-portlet/js/main.js, I guess) it shows again all the users.

Can you access the social services from /chat-portlet/js/main.js to filter the users? Or there is any way of doing this without modifying this file?

Thanks in advance!

In \webapps\chat-portlet\WEB-INF\classes\portlet.properties there are following settings. I think you'll be able to figure it out from here.

include-and-override=portlet-ext.properties

buddy.list.strategy=all
#buddy.list.strategy=communities
#buddy.list.strategy=friends
#buddy.list.strategy=communities,friends

Hi Mazhar,

No need to change anything in the code, just use the property Hitoshi said with the value you want.

Regards.

Hi Emilio,

I tried with the given portlet properties and is working fine to me..

Suppose I have 2 communities say A with (V1,V2 as community members) and B(W1,W2 as community members)..
I applied
buddy.list.strategy=communities
so community member V1 can see V2 and community admin say (Admin1) and vice-verse for community B..

Now my requirement...
what changes should I do in order to restrict community users to see each others..i.e V1 cannot see V2 but can only see the community admin in his chat list..

So how to do this...thanks in advance..

#buddy.list.strategy=all
buddy.list.strategy=communities
#buddy.list.strategy=friends
#buddy.list.strategy=communities,friends

You should comment out communities and uncomment friends.

#buddy.list.strategy=all
#buddy.list.strategy=communities
buddy.list.strategy=friends
#buddy.list.strategy=communities,friends

Hi Hitoshi

I want filter users by communities....not by firiends

The problem is that chat portlet is not respecting the rule

#buddy.list.strategy=all
buddy.list.strategy=communities
#buddy.list.strategy=friends
#buddy.list.strategy=communities,friends

Eibar, if you have a new question different from those of the subject, please create a new thread. It gets very confusing when the thread goes off the topic of the subject. Please also specify which version of liferay you're using.

Hi Eibar,

Did you check if your user belongs to the same community?

Hello to all,

I am using liferay 6.1.1 ce.
I have following hierarchy :
1.) default site named "XYZ".
2.) organizations "org_1".
3.) users "user_1" and "user_2".
4.) "user_1" is a member of site "XYZ" and organization "org_1".
5.) "user_2" is member of organization "org_1".
6.) user_1 and user_2 are not friend.
7.) I have checked both user_1 and user_2 are also member of site corresponding to "org_1".
I have add line "buddy.list.strategy=communities" in portlet.properties of chat portlet.

Problem is that both user_1 and user_2 not found each other in online friends.
But if user_1 and user_2 both are the member of default site "XYZ" then both visible online for each other in chat portlet.

Please Suggest what will i have to do for this ?
