4-3312 - Customizing OpenText Social Communities v8.1

Duration: 3 Days

This course demonstrates how to create and configure online communities and to enhance web sites to launch products, brands, and campaigns. It provides tools for delivering social applications, such as blogs, ratings, reviews, tagging, forums, video galleries, podcasts, and event management to name a few in order to meet the expectations of public-facing web sites and portals from which user participation is required. Each participant is provided with a base environment, where they begin by first installing and configuring Social Communities. Working closely with OpenText Portal, they then learn how to integrate the additional capabilities that the Social Communities product provides, including working with remote objects, different application types and mappings, and setting up Community Applications and Community Services Portlets (such as blogs, wikis, forums, photos, podcasts, presentations, tags, comments, among others). Participants also learn about moderation, templates and mappings, and access policies. Additionally participants will learn how to extend the product by creating new applications and by customizing how Social Communities information is displayed. Highlights include: 1) Learn to implement OpenText Social Communities using highly accessible and scalable communication techniques to turn communication into an interactive, productive and engaging dialogue, and 2)Learn to extend the capabilities of OpenText Social Communities by creating new Community Applications and customize how services are displayed.
