Activate web part features in site collections

You can add new web parts, to the web part galleries of some of your site collections, when you upgrade or repair your Aurea Social.

The core solution of Aurea Social adds three features to every site collection:

  • NewsGator Social Web Parts
  • NewsGator Community Web Parts
  • NewsGator Pivot Viewer Web Parts

Each of these, when enabled, add some web parts to the site collection's web part gallery.

If you've installed or added any optional modules that include their own web parts, each of these will have added a similar site collection feature for adding its web parts to the gallery.

For example, if you added the News Stream Module, there is a site collection feature called NewsGator News Stream Web Parts. Usually, these features are deactivated by default. You have to activate the feature on any site collection in which you want to deploy any of the corresponding web parts.

For full details on what these web part features are named and what web parts they deploy to the gallery, see the section titled Web Part Deployment in the Aurea Social Administration Guide.
