Hello,
I am doing some local work on an automated site feed in 2.6. One
of the requirements is to set the title of the "Site Information
Display" tool (sakai.iframe.site) that sits on the site's Home
page.
I tried this code (courseID is the siteId), but I can't for the
life of me get it to work:
String iframeToolId = "sakai.iframe.site";
ToolConfiguration toolConfig = SiteService.getSite(courseID).getToolForCommonId(iframeToolId);
if (toolConfig == null) {
LOG.error("Failed to find tool for siteId: " + courseID + " and toolId: " + iframeToolId );
} else {
LOG.debug("Setting title..... " );
toolConfig.setTitle("Seth Testing");
toolConfig.save();
SiteService.save(site);
}
At the time I set the title, I will have just created a site, so
I know its siteId and that the sakai.iframe.site toolId is unique
to the site.
Since setting it from the GUI works just fine, I took a look at
that code in:
web/web-tool/tool/src/java/org/sakaiproject/web/tool/IFrameAction.java
This code uses a Placement object to make the change:
Placement placement = ToolManager.getCurrentPlacement();
[...]
// title
String title = data.getParameters().getString(TITLE);
// state.setAttribute(TITLE, title);
if (StringUtil.trimToNull(title) == null)
{
addAlert(state, rb.getString("gen.tootit"));
return;
}
placement.setTitle(title);
[...]
// save
// TODO: we might have just saved the entire site, so this would not be needed -ggolden
placement.save();
I know I am missing something, so help anyone?
Seth
