Shortcut or link from one space to another space?

atomical — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:28:58 GMT

Hi!I want to create links from one document in alfresco to another space in alfresco - because I don't want to upload the same document more than one times.My (sub-sub-sub)-spaces representing one project each, and if I need e.g. the same manual for more projects I need to create a link to the once

Usually next to a content item, there is an icon that you can click for cutting and copying. Click the copy link. On the left side bar, there is a link that allows you to view your 'Shelf'. This is just like the Windows clipboard. Navigate to the space where you want to put a link to the item on the clipboard. Then click the icon for paste link (on the shelf next to the item you copied is a clipboard with a chainlink). This will put a link into the content space your in to the item you copied to your clipboard.

Hope that helps!

Here is the code that I used. just use the space name that you want and the change the <actual-scape> to return the space to which you want to link to. hope this helps.

            String spaceName = "Space";
          String qname = QName.createValidLocalName(spaceName);

          Map<QName, Serializable> dProps = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(3);
          dProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_NAME, spaceName);
          dProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_LINK_DESTINATION, <actual-space>);

          ChildAssociationRef assocRef = this.nodeService.createNode(
               homeSpaceRef,
               ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS,
                QName.createQName(NamespaceService.SYSTEM_MODEL_1_0_URI, qname),
                ApplicationModel.TYPE_FOLDERLINK,
                dProps);

         NodeRef nodeRef = assocRef.getChildRef();

         // set the name property on the node
         this.nodeService.setProperty(nodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME, spaceName);

         if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Created Space link with name: " + spaceName);

         Map<QName, Serializable> props = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(3);
         props.put(ApplicationModel.PROP_ICON, CreateSpaceWizard.DEFAULT_SPACE_ICON_NAME);
         props.put(ContentModel.PROP_TITLE, spaceName);
         props.put(ContentModel.PROP_DESCRIPTION, spaceName);
         this.nodeService.addAspect(nodeRef, ApplicationModel.ASPECT_UIFACETS, props);

//no need for document links, better structure of Spaces makes this useless

Hi,
The above code snippet seems to be of repository.jar classes. I am using alfresco-webservice-client.jar and those classes are not available in it.
Can you please let me know how do i directly call the repository.jar classes from my code.I have my EAR and alfresco.war deployed in the same application server.
Thanks & Regards,

itsard,
the code is for alfresco extensions which is deployed as an extension of alfresco server itself and not a client code of some sort.

Thanks

Shortcut or link from one space to another space?
Hi Robain,
Would linking a document also allow a content search in the linked documents if i make a content search in the folder which has these linked documents?My proj req is such that in my system the documents get linked from one folder to another. If I dont replicate it in Alfresco through apis then content search wont search the linked documents and just the main documents.

Also can u help kindly me with the alfresco extensions you talked about? I am using the webserviceclient apis.How do i extend the basic code so that i can extract more features as the code snippet u pasted above. Is there a tutorial link on alfresco extensions deployment ?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi there,

You may want to have a look at that. Works like a charm and it should answer your needs.

Hi,
I m yet to use the project u mentioned above. But my query is would the shortcut to a document in another space lead to a content search in the document
pointed by the shortcut?. I am trying that through web client but it doesnt seem to work.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I just played around with linkitemtospace a bit and it really workslike a charm… in Alfresco Browser. When browsing the Repository using the Windows Explorer via CIFS, I only see the URL-files, no working links.

Does somebody know something similar to linkitemtospace, but also working via CIFS..?!

Thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi Meritant.

Have you tried adding another (non 'primary') parent-child association to the original file-node?
Nodes can have multiple folder parents.
AFAIK, only acheivable using code, but only a couple of lines.
