Extending social lists by using the digital data connector
The social rendering feature in HCL Digital Experience 8.5 is implemented as an Digital Data Connector (DDC) for HCL Portal plug-in.
This approach makes it possible to use the extensibility features of this framework to extend the social rendering feature with extra capabilities:
- Realize custom queries against the HCL Connections server.
- Retrieve data from HCL Connections services other than the search service.
- Make it possible for portal site visitors to contribute social information through user interfaces that are generated by HCL Web Content Manager features.
