Re: Anybody have success integrating with Okta for SSO across multiple subsystems?
Himiroslav Lithium does support the auto-login flow you mention for users who may be logged-in or registered through your SSO system but not yet in your Lithium Community. When said user visits our community for the first time they trigger our auto-login flow which is documented here:http://community.lithium.com/t5/Single-Sign-On-SSO/How-does-auto-signin-work/ta-p/41030 Hope that helps!

That's a great idea Claudius! We love seeing customers do innovative things with the Lithium platform, that's why we have Studio to help expand the customer's capabilities for self-servicing customizations like this. Thanks for sharing! :)113Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help trying to add a component to the page canvas in Studio
Hi Mark, What is the new component you're trying to add? Sometimes components that run off community generated content like leaderboards or recent posts modules will not show at all until there's actual content to populate in the module. For example if it's a Top Kudo'd Authors module but nobody has a Kudo in the community yet, this module won't show until someone has a Kudo that can be displayed in the module. Ditto for Accepted Solutions, etc. Ricky84Views0likes0CommentsRe: Authentication & Authorization Web Services
Hi Suresh, You can authenticate into the community via web services (Rest api). If you do a quick search for "Rest API authentication" on the Lithosphere, you should see a lot of good information, along with our Rest API java docs, that can help you get started. Here's a helpful thread too: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Growing-Successful-Communities/Need-help-with-REST-API-Authentication/m-p/3058/highlight/true#M1175 Hope that helps, RickyS181Views0likes0CommentsRe: Lithium REST API developers for hire? Something like e-lance?
Hi grizfan, Lithium can offer professional services help in developing custom components to meet your requirements. I can't speak to e-lance as I'm not familiar with them, but it might be worthwhile to check with our ProfServ team to see if the custom functionality you're looking for is something our team can help develop. In order to initiate this process, please submit a ticket via our case portal with details around the development work you'd like. Include as much detail as you can provide and state that you'd like a quote for this work. The case will route to one of our technical consultants who will scope out your request, ask any additional questions around your requirements, and put together a time and cost estimate. If you approve the costs and choose to move forward, the project will formally be assigned to a Lithium project manager, who will work with you and coordinate with our internal resources until the work is complete. Hope that helps, RickyS168Views1like1CommentRe: More on Colors: Customizing the Mobile Interface
Hi memerylane, You can add a mobile logo in the header by going into your mobile skin in Studio and adding a reference to whatever mobile logo asset you upload in the page header section of the wrapper. Keep in mind that with the limited UI in mobile browsing, you will want to keep the mobile logo to a minimal size/dimension. Here are a couple examples as reference: http://forums.att.com http://supportforums.blackberry.com Also, please find attached the mobile colors guide, similar to the desktop version you have.254Views4likes1CommentRe: Issue with Studio and Forum
Hi Peter, You're seeing the weird text strings b/c it looks like you may have inadvertently turned on the text editor feature in studio. Instructions to turn it off are explained in this thread: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Growing-Successful-Communities/Attempts-to-change-text-in-studio-messed-up-my-page/td-p/28864 Good luck, RickyS180Views1like2CommentsRe: Getting a list of recent messages via API
Hi aitchon, Hypothetically, you should be able to go back as far as you want with the recent call if you set your page number and page_size parameters large enough to pull posts all the way back to the beginning of your community. With that said comes a caveat that if your rest calls are too ambitious, it may put strain on your production server. Regards, Ricky748Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cross promote blogs and discussion boards
Hi woodag, There isn't a pre-built widget available that'll do what you're asking. Just to make sure I understand correctly, you'd like to show a widget with recent board posts to show on your blogs pages and a recent blog articles widget to display on your discussion board pages? If that's the case, your best bet is to create custom content via the Community Admin tool or custom components via Lithium studio that creates widgets as described above. You're limited to the number of custom content you can create (9 content areas total) but the custom content code can be node-specific - meaning, you can have different custom content code for different levels of your community. Custom components are built in Studio and are the same community-wide. This thread does a much better job of explaining the difference. In your case, I would recommend going with Custom Component via Studio. If you're not already, you'll have to familiarize yourself with our Rest API documentation. Latest Rest API Documents can be found in this TKB article. Studio documentation: Studio TKB. We recently put together a series of training videos on how to use Studio Advanced. If you'd like to view these training videos, please submit a case ticket requesting access to this valuable resource. For each widget you build, you can specify which specific category or board you'd like to pull the most recent discussion topics or posts, and same for blogs, you can specify where you want to pull your latest articles or comments. You can also specify your Rest API calls to pull up content based on other criteria like "featured topic" - a designation you can add to content in your boards you'd like to highlight or "feature". This is only a backend setting and won't show anything on the community front-end if you mark a topic or blog article as featured. But this option gives you a little bit more editorial control over what content you'd like to display in the blog/board widgets you want to create. Once you determine which Rest API calls you want to incorporate into your widget, you'll have to add the styling html and css code within the custom content code to format and present the XML data properly, consistent with your community styling. Hope that helps, woodag! RickyS527Views1like0Comments
