Hello, i have the pleasure to announce you, the first released of the Knowledge Base project IRKB. You can download all source and AMP on this url : http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/irkb/

This represent the end of my internship.This project could be improve … I study again, but I’ll be on hand on the forum.

The version 2.9 and up of Alfresco are better.

The French doc is available http://hilaire.maxime.free.fr/IRKB
Here are the short step for quick install :

1)   Install AMP, start Alfresco

2)All user of IRKB have to be set in the IRKB group created during the bootstrap (IRKB_irum for editor)

3)   In the “data dictionary”>"Templates">"org "> "Irium "> "Irkb ">ir_irkb_link.ftl
Edit the url of the host to IRKB interface, to display a link of the sheet in the webclient.

4)   Unzip the WebsiteRIA.zip in the webapps directory
5)   Download and Unzip the extJS framework (http://extjs.com/products/extjs/download.php) in the root of the interface directory to make the “ext” directory
6)   All the interface property are contained in the file in IRKB/js : irkb_config.js.
var ROOT_URL = "http://'+window.location.host; //URL of the host (get automatically in the web browser)
var HOSTE_URL = 'http://your_IP:8080';//different URL to same host (the only one value to edit by defaukt in the file)
var GROUP_PUBLISHER = "GROUP_IRKB_Irium"; //Editor group
var ALFRESCO_URL = ROOT_URL +'/alfresco/';
var IRKB_URL = ROOT_URL+'/IRKB/';

Please ask me any question if needed.

PS: The log4j.properties file will be install and display all DEBUG message in the console.

I found your contribution very interessting. We want to localize your contibution in german and test it. So we will spend the german version to the community. Please contact us to go further.

Ok, no problem to translate in german. There are only 2 files to edit in the specific user interface and one file more for the webclient.

Bon Jour, M.

It would be best to create a project in alfresco forge, move your documentation and installation directions to the "project documentation" and may have a look into the wiki, where to place/mention it for marketing and search for helping others.

BTW - Cool stuff

Hello!
I have downloaded the IRKB application and I was trying to learn about it but I have problem. When I try to create an Error Message I can't save it! I filled all the atributes of the new sheet window but when I click on the save button it doesn't works. Have you ever got the same problem? (I logged at the application as "editor" user).

Could you help me please?

Thank you

Sorry, but the test server, will not be restarted (i'm a student, and i haven't buy an online server).

For the moment, i haven't time to translate the documentation in english, but i can explain you some specific point or details about your question.

Hi mhilaire, thanks for your response.
I have some questions on this. i.e integrating or developing the ui for alfresco using extjs.
How to call the backend alfresco repository from this extjs application? how it works?
Do we need to develop the java code for that? what are the environment setting for ext js?
It is very helpful to the community if you translate it into english.

The backend of my application is made with java custom behaviour to set permissions or deny removing content when there are attachments.
The architecture is very similar to opsoro. See : http://www.opsoro.org/architecture
I use webscript to call the backend. So, you just have to send http request (type : post or get) to the webscript. Then parse the response (in JSON or XML).
It's very simple to made it with a JS framework like ExtJS.

For example to send an "ajax" request :


Ext.Ajax.request({
                            url: ALFRESCO_URL +'service/irkb/contentHit',
                            method: 'GET',
                            success: function(){   
                                  alert('success !');
                            },
                            params: {
                               node:node                              
                            }
                        });
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

ExtJS provide also some object called 'dataStore'. You define a default parser and an url , and you can 'load' this object with the webscript's response :


dataStore.load({
                        params: {
                            id:values,
                            start: 0
                        },
                        callback:loadRows
                   });
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So you don't need to develop java code.
