Properties

\n\n

For full details on the sakai.properties options in this release, see MSGCNTR-583.

\n\n

mc.showShortDescription - Default True
\nProvide a way for an institution to remove the short description from the Forum/Topic settings view. If false, the short description will only be shown if it exists already.

\n\n

mc.collapsePermissionPanel - Default False
\nProvide a way for an institution to default the permissions panel to collapsed in the Forum and Topic Settings screens.

\n\n

msgcntr.editor.rows - Default 22
\nAllow users to customize the size of the WYSIWYG editor

\n\n

msgcntr.synoptic.updateMessageCounts.updateNewMembersOnly - Default False
\nBy setting this property, the synoptic counts job will only look for new members and add their synoptic count info. This is contrast to the default behavior, which is to update all site's members synoptic info, even if they already have data in the table.

\n\n

msgcntr.synoptic.updateMessageCountsSiteFilter
\nIn order to allow for updating synoptic counts (or populating missing counts in the case of the beginning of a semester), if you can filter out the synoptic counts job to update a specific range of sites, then it can be run quickly

\n\n

msgcntr.synoptic.updateMessageCounts.addItemsWhenNoUnreadCounts - Default False
\nAllow the synoptic quartz job to update user's synoptic item (and add) even when forum and message counts are 0 for a site

\n\n

msgcntr.forums.exclude.deleted - Default False
\nWhen a message is deleted, default behavior is to show a placeholder "Message Deleted" message. Setting this property to True will hide the deleted message and all of its child messages from user view. There will be no placeholder.

\n\n

msgcntr.forums.showRevisionHistory - Default True
\nBy default, each time a Forum message is edited, a note with the revision details is added to the message. Setting this property to False will no longer include revision details when a Forum message is edited.

\n\n

mc.messages.ccEmailDefault - Default False
\nIn the Messages tool, allow institution to set a preference as to whether the checkbox to "cc" the email address of the recipient is checked by default.

\n\n

MSGCNTR-109 - Display profile pictures and link to profile information next to the message author
\nThis feature is turned off by default since you must have profile2 installed.
\nmsgcntr.forums.showProfileInfo - Default False
\nSet to true if you would like to display profile pictures when viewing messages in Forums.
\nprofile2.profile.link.enabled - Default True
\nYou may utilize this profile2 property to disable profile linking and pop-ups via the profile picture when viewing messages in Forums.

\n\n

MSGCNTR-231 - Configuring the option to create topics for groups
\nmsgcntr.groupsdefaultlevel - Defaults to Contributor level
\nThe permission level that groups will receive by default

\n\n

Define names of roles that by default will have 'None' level access when creating Group Topics. If this property is defined, the settings from the parent Forum will be used. For example, the following will default the Student and access roles to "None" permission level when creating group topics:
\nmsgcntr.rolesnone.count=2
\nmsgcntr.rolesnone.1=Student
\nmsgcntr.rolesnone.2=access
