Chatter and Site / Chatter and Customer Portal

Hi everyone,

 

Do you know if we can use Chatter API from a Site User and Customer Portal user?

Basically we want to access custom object feeds, and insert post. 

 

Cheers,

 

Laurent

You are right. Teaches me for responding too quickly:

 

Sites = Chatter Yes

Portal = Not currently

 

Thanks for keeping me honest.

Not currently.

Err, but I did this already with the Site user. With the appropriate permission he/she can post, view, etc.

Any thoughts on when it will be possible for portal users? 

 

For an org like ours chatter will be revolutionary, but not until the portal users can use it too

 

thanks,

Has anyone tried or recommend using an intermediary object to store chatter posts.  Then having a job collect and create tham running as admin use on regular basis?

 

Not an ideal scenario but a possible workaround.

 

...also I am sure I have tried to create chatter posts fro sites guest user and not been successful? Do you need to enable any permissions?
