I know this post is very old – perhaps you have figured it out. Maybe someone else will need this information as well.

One way to do it is just create the link yourself like such:


var vTarget = companyhome.childByNamePath("PATH TO TARGET HERE');

if(vTarget != undefined)
{
   var vLinkFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("PATH TO DESTINATION HERE");
   
   if(vLinkFolder != undefined)
   {
                var vLinkName = "Link to " + vTarget.name;
      var vLink = vLinkFolder.createNode(vLinkName+".url", "app:filelink");
      
      vLink.properties.content = "";
      vLink.properties.content.mimetype = "UTF-8";
      vLink.properties.title = vLinkName;
      vLink.properties.description = vLinkName;
      vLink.properties.destination = vTarget;
      vLink.save();
   }
}

I'm sure there's people willing to help you, but you need to describe your problem a bit better.
Be as detailed as possible, give us code snippets and so on.

The previous post have errors. I fixed this to create link between folders. To test I created a script then ran an action (execute a script) against some content.

I will see if I can get content links to work

var vSourceFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Sites/ECM");  //space/folder where link is generated from

if(vSourceFolder != undefined)
{
   var vLinkFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Projects/ECM");  //target folder - linked folder in this space to Source Folder Space
   
   if(vLinkFolder != undefined)
   {
      var vLinkName = "Link to " + vSourceFolder.name;

      var vLink = vLinkFolder.createNode(vLinkName+".url", "app:folderlink");
      
      vLink.properties.content = "";
      vLink.properties.content.mimetype = "UTF-8";
      vLink.properties.title = vLinkName;
      vLink.properties.description = vLinkName;
      vLink.properties.destination = vSourceFolder;
      vLink.save();
   }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The code to create link for content. (Could someone tell me how to create a "code box" to copy the code in and make it selectable in this browser)

var vSourceFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Sites/ECM");  //space/folder where link is generated from

if(vSourceFolder != undefined)
{
   var vLinkFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Projects/ECM");  //target folder - linked content in this space to Source Folder Space
   
   if(vLinkFolder != undefined)
   {
      var vLinkName = "Link to " + document.name + ".url";
      var vLink = vLinkFolder.createNode(vLinkName, "app:filelink");

      vLink.properties.title = "Link to " + document.name;
      vLink.properties.description = "Link to " + document.name;
      vLink.properties.destination =  vSourceFolder.childByNamePath(document.name);
      vLink.save();
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I want to create link to contents, i am very new to alfresco. Currently i know that this code shown in this post is related to web scripts, but how to use it, i dont know. Could any one tell me in detail that how to execute it.

My target is that i need a kind of symbolic link to an artifact using two links. Like i have an artifact (say jar file) in dev folder (CompanyHome/Software/Dev) and i need to browse or access it (using wget) using two different urls. Can i do it using this code or any other idea is most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Pawan
