Subscribing to a blog entry

[Reza Vafatabar, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

Hi all,

I want to subscribe a user in to a specific blog.
I found this code from Liferay source:
ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) actionRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
BlogsEntryLocalServiceUtil.subscribe(user.getUserId(), themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId());

but it doesn't solve my problem because it subscribe user to the current theme.
What I have is the blog Id and the User Id.

How can I get the scope group id of the blog by just having the blog Id or BlogEntry object?

Hi.

You can use getGroupId() of your BlogsEntry object.

BlogsEntry blogsEntry; /* your blog entry object */
BlogsEntryLocalServiceUtil.subscribe(user.getUserId(), blogEntry.getGroupId());

Hi!

As per my knowledge and understanding there is nothing like a Scope Group Id of blog.

you can get the blog group id through blogEntry.getGroupId();

themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId(); returns the id of the group the page you are viewing is in. it should be the same as themeDisplay.getLayout().getGroupId()

Thanks,
Ketan

Thanks for the replies guys.

Ketan:
I tried this solution with no luck.
I think the problem is that I want to subscribe another user to the blog and not the current user.

I want to write a portlet which admin can use to subscribe other users to the blog.
So if I use ThemeDisplay, it will give me the scope of the admin and not other users.

Pavel:
I tried your solution as well and it works with no error but other users ( who has been subscribed to the blog using this portlet by admin ) haven't received a subscribe email and when they login the "Subscribe" link in the blog still there and didn't change to "Unsubscribe"

I really need to resolve this issue so please help!

Do you mean that when you´ve invoked subscribe method for one user all other users were unsubscribed?

[Reza Vafatabar, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

No, I just mean that invoking this method doesn't subscribe the user to the blog.

Admin is invoking the portlet ( method ) in the control panel to subscribing another user ( user A not himself ) to a blog.
but it doesn't do the job.

Hi there,

for other users that were looking for a good solution like me:

        SubscriptionLocalServiceUtil.addSubscription(
                userId,
                groupId,
                BlogsEntry.class.getName(),
                groupId);

groupId - is a groupId of a Site where you want your user to be subscribed to blogs.

Greets,
Pawel
