In the eXo Spaces, we may have two space types (classic and webos spaces). This is for the classic mode (it's the only one implemented now).
For the classic space, we can pre-configure the template, meaning that you can set up where your menu will be displayed or where your application will be displayed.
Here is an example of configuration file that displays the menu on the left. The Application will be inserted in the container with the id Application:
<page>
<owner-type/>
<owner-id/>
<name/>
<container id="SpacePage" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">
<container id="Menu" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
<portlet-application>
<portlet>
<application-ref>space</application-ref>
<portlet-ref>SpaceMenuPortlet</portlet-ref>
</portlet>
<access-permissions>*:/platform/users</access-permissions>
<show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>
</portlet-application>
</container>
<container id="Application" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
</container>
</container>
</page>
In this example, the outer container contains two inner containers: one container has id as Menu for your Menu and another has id as Application containing your applications.
If you want to put your menu in right and your application in left, you can swap the declared position of two containers:
<page>
<owner-type/>
<owner-id/>
<name/>
<container id="SpacePage" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">
<container id="Application" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
<container id="Menu" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">
<portlet-application>
<portlet>
<application-ref>space</application-ref>
<portlet-ref>SpaceMenuPortlet</portlet-ref>
</portlet>
<access-permissions>*:/platform/users</access-permissions>
<show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>
</portlet-application>
</container>
</container>
</container>
</page>
Here is the configure file in FishEye: http://fisheye.exoplatform.org/browse/social/trunk/extension/war/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/portal/template/pages/space/page.xml.
In your tomcat, this configuration file is at $EXOTOMCAT/webapps/social-ext/WEB-INF/conf/portal/template/pages/space/page.xml.
This is to explain how to configure the oAuth 2 legs scenario in openSocial.
