Simple search script

billmce — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:12:19 GMT

I'm trying to learn web scripting. I've bought two Alfresco books. I can't get the examples in either book to work. Very frustrating. Time vampire.If anyone has a simple web script(s) they're willing to share I'd very much appreciate it.I'm trying to:a) List files in the repository.b) Search files

I found this post to be very useful: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=10481

I also bought two books… and experienced the same frustrations. I know what you're going through!
The wikis are good, but I didn't feel that they sufficiently explain what parameters need to be sent to search.luceneSearch("…")
For example, your path to Company Home should be "app:company_home". Sites needs to be "st:sites". (I stumbled across this piece of information in one of the forums somebody said PATH:\"/app:company_home/st:sites.) And documentLibrary has to be cm:documentLibrary. So if you are searching for a particular space, your search would look something like this:

var RM_PATH = 'PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:myCustomSpace/cm:documentLibrary//*"'
var query = RM_PATH + ' AND @cm\\:name:\"' + spaceName + '\"';
var results = search.luceneSearch(query);

Hope that helps. Good luck!
