Portal modify/edit interface

[Sean Guo]

Hello,

I have been testing/playing with portals recently and I am wondering if it's possible to have the same ability to edit an object in the portal interface as the regular interface. I am asking this because in the regular interface I was able to edit all the non read-only fields from a class but not in the portal interface even though I specified <opening_mode>edit</opening_mode> in my brick setup like below:

<brick id="locs" xsi:type="Combodo\iTop\Portal\Brick\ManageBrick"
          _delta="define">
          <active>true</active>
          <rank>
            <default>13</default>
          </rank>
          <width>6</width>
          <title>
            <default>Brick:Portal:UserProfile:locs</default>
          </title>
          <description>Brick:Portal:UserProfile:locs+</description>
          <decoration_class>
            <default>fc fc-ongoing-request fc-2x</default>
          </decoration_class>
          <oql><![CDATA[SELECT Location]]></oql>
          <opening_target>modal</opening_target>
          <opening_mode>edit</opening_mode>
          <fields>
            <field id="name" />
          </fields>
          <grouping>
            <!-- Mandatory -->
            <tabs>
              <show_tab_counts>true</show_tab_counts>
              <groups>
                <group id="opened">
                  <rank>1</rank>
                  <title>Brick:Portal:OngoingRequests:Tab:OnGoing</title>
                  <condition><![CDATA[SELECT Location]]></condition>
                </group>
                <group id="resolved">
                  <rank>2</rank>
                  <title>Brick:Portal:OngoingRequests:Tab:Resolved</title>
                  <condition><![CDATA[SELECT Location]]></condition>
                </group>
              </groups>
            </tabs>
          </grouping>
          <data_loading>full</data_loading>
          <export>
            <export_default_fields>true</export_default_fields>
          </export>
 </brick>

I made sure the user profile has the full access to the Location class and still there are no editable fields presented in the portal. I would appreciate if someone can provide some insight on this topic!

[Vincent @ Combodo]

Out of the box, in the standard portal, there is no scope defined for the Location class.
It is not enough to define a Brick, you should also
* Define a Form, to specify which fields of the Location you want to display and allow to edit
* Define the Scope read and write for the Location Class

Remember that out of the box in a Portal nothing is allowed unless you explicitly allow it.

There are tutorials on how to adapt the Portal, but it's clearly not the easiest part...

Hi Vincent,

I have a similar question. I created a new brick to display pc infos in portal interface. I want some PC attributes (move2production, purchase_date, end_of_warranty) to be in edit mode. Below is part of my portal datamodel. I created a new profile which has right to edit PC class and added the test user account to this profil. I put oql_edit for PC class as you can see as below. I removed "read_only" flage for the dates. But I have error as attached. Could you advise what is missing ?

You might have to add a oql_edit scope on FunctionalCI with
SELECT FunctionalCI WHERE finalclass='PC'

Have you checked the grant matrix of your User, to see if they can read and modify those FunctionalCI and PC objects?
The scopes are just a restriction of a rights which must exists on the Profile(s)
