 How To Add Sametime Web Presence Awareness to Lotus Connections ~Denise Destumichekakoi on July 26, 2010 | Version 1 |
Instructions on how to use the Sametime Web API to add presence awareness to Lotus Connections 2.5.
|
Lotus Connections is integrated out of the box with Lotus Sametime.
This integration, however, requires that you have the Lotus Sametime
client installed, configured, and running in order for the awareness to
work. A customer was asking me the other day if we could enable
awareness without requiring the Sametime client. The answer is yes.
With the latest Sametime 8.5+ version there's an AJAX API for
awareness similar to STLinks. Here's how you can use that API to add
awareness in Lotus Connections:
1. Enable SSO between Lotus Connections and Sametime
2. The first step is to initialize the API. Add the following code to header.html
3. Now add the following code anywhere in a page (for example, a blog or a wiki)
4. An alternative is that you would like to add it as field in a
user's Profile page. To do so, modify profiles-config.xml to add an
attribute that looks like this:
prependHtml="<div class="stmain tundra"><div dojoType="sametime LiveName" userId=""
appendHtml=""></div></div>">email
