ftw.participation 1.1

Activating

First you need to import the generic setup profile, which adds some actions, a browser layer and other stuff.

For activating the participation on a folderish content object give it the Interface ftw.participation.interfaces.IParticipationSupport which enables the participation on this context. This adds a new action “Manage participants” on this context and you can invite other people.

A invited person will receive a e-mail containing a link to the platform, containing the invitation id. After registering / logging in there is a new action “My invitations” in the user menu, where the user can accept or reject the invitation.

Using Quotas

Providing the interface ftw.participation.interfaces.IParticipationQuotaSupport adds a “Maximum amount of participaants” field to the schema which defines how many other users can be invited.

When a quota is set the user can only invite that amount of user to this context. There is a validator on the invitation form which ensures that the quota will not be crossed.

When setting the quota to 5 it is only possible to invite 4 other users because the first participant is the owner, which usually already exists. Inviting the same user multiple times counts also multiple times, but the invitor is able to retract the invitation on the “My invitations” view.

Customizing email messages

If a person is invitied to a context he gets a e-mail notification. If this person accepts or rejects the invitation the inviter is notified by e-mail. Those e-mails are multipart emails containing a HTML part and a plaintext fallback part.

The messages may be customized eather by overwriting the translations or by customizing the mail templates in ftw.participation.browser.
