After having a great turn out at our first stop in NYC at Social Edge Consulting , we're ready to take some votes on our next stop — The Bay Area at Plex Systems' Northern California Office! We are limited in capacity to 22 attendees, so we're going to put a limit of 3 individuals per organization/company for now. This is a meetup/workshop that is geared more towards beginning development in Jive and to try out the newer add-on framework that's available in Jive 8 & Cloud—as such, priority may be given to individuals who fit this criteria. Please put your name and organization if you can commit to being at the event and joining us for the installfest.

BTW, if you haven't already checked out this blog that Social Edge put out of the last event, be sure to have a look for what to expect: NYC Hackathon Fun - Now with Pictures!

Priority Seating:

Registration for the event is mostly first come, first served. But, since there is a very limited number of seats, we're going to impart some priority seating policies. However, know that we're being truly transparent about how we're doing this.

• Those who have shown interest from the beginning or have been proactively trying to host/sponsor the event will automatically get priority of attendance.
• Individuals new to Jive development will also get priority since this is specifically the audience we're gearing the event towards, doesn't mean existing developers can't go, just throwing this out there as a possible factor.
• Developers. This event is welcome to business XXXXXXX individuals with some coding experience as well, but priority is given to Developers as it is a developer centric event.

• Learn first-hand about the latest in Jive middleware-less integrations

Hi all,

    We had a situation where we wanted to import members from multiple groups so as we can have members of all those groups into one unified group which will reduce manual members adding process. For this problem we came up with a solution; we designed an app called Import Members which will import members from other groups.

Add-on provides following features:

1) Migrating memberships from multiple groups to one.

As the member from source groups should be a member in target group

2) Associate selected stream(s) of members with the new group.

To get the updates.

How the app works?

The scope of this app is restricted to groups and it will appear under action tab.

The app shall be opened into the group which should be target group in which user wants to merge the other groups.

Steps followed to perform the same operation:

1.Click on Import Members from group's action section, it will open an app in popup as below

2.Select the source groups from the place picker that will be invoked once you click on 'Select Source Group(s)'.

User can select upto 10 groups to be merged into one.

3. Select the stream(s) which you want members to associate with the new group.

In our app Email Watches is the custom stream which is used for getting email notifications for activities.

You will find some more examples of custom streams here : Examples of Custom Streams

4. Submit the import request.

    Once process is submitted user gets notification about report of the process.

    Whenever the process is done, the user is sent all report in email. (which might take some time depending on number of members to import)

Once user click on 'Submit request' we do request to node server to process the request:

In app.xml we have added a jive connects api setting to call the service in above file.

as you could see; we have used custom service named importService as a middleware for request and response to the app.

code snippet from server side:

Access Levels:

Only superAdmins and groupAdmins will have access to this app.

Logger:

We have added logger to log all the operations which includes: operation done, group name, successIds, failureIds, User Id, Time etc

As part of the merge operation, the target group will have all the content type enabled.

Hello JiveMinds,

We ,at ThoughtWorks, have created the custom view tiles and like to share the learnings/implementations of the same.

We have used Tiles feature of the Jive to make sure the information is shared in an intuitive graphical way.

This particular tile is called 'Featured Items with Images'. The intent behind designing this tile is to share the important links in graphical blocks with intuitive background images.

More on the this tile:

Features:

1. Add items with according background images to make more intuitive info out of it.

3. You can reorder the elements of the tile with drag and drop feature.

4. You can delete the items using the respective row trash icon.

Tech Stack:

We have built the feature using React.

The tile-code is open sourced under AGPL.

The git-hub url of the code:  GitHub - ThoughtWorksInc/tw-featured-grid-tile
