Problem with Alfresco Web Editor

ajmillar — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:22:52 GMT

Have checked out the latest code from HEAD, but I'm having trouble deploying the alfresco web editor. I'm getting the following message after logging in …A form could not be found, has an 'itemKind' and 'itemId' been provided?Anyone had similar problems and found a solution?

Not much extra to contribute to this. Running on a WindowsXP laptop. Tried downloading the official 3.3 Community release and then downloading the addon from http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_Edition_file_list_3.3.

Unzipped the awe.war from the distribution and put it into the webapps folder. Restarted the server and get as far as the login screen. After that the same message comes up.

What URL are you pointing your browser at?

http://localhost:8080/awe

That's the problem. The AWE is a web app that provides content editing services to web sites that use content from Alfresco. It doesn't "do" anything if simply accessed from a browser directly. Have a look at the page at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Editor (particularly the section entitled "Sample" at the bottom). If this doesn't help then post again here, and I'll try to clarify it.

Would it make sense to print this information instead / additionally to the current error message?

A form could not be found, has an 'itemKind' and 'itemId' been provided?

Maybe even with a link to where the user can get more information.

… just an idea.

Fair point. We'll put in a tweak to generate a brief information page if incorrect information is received.

Hi ajmillar,

Were you able to solve the issue, i am still unable to run the sample application that is given along with the zip file..
Can you please help me with the steps..?
Also the wiki : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Editor talks about a configuration file called awe-config-custom.xml..have you reached to that step?

Any kind of ideas would be of great help..

Thanks in advance..

Hi..
I am working in linux environment. I extracted both awe.war and customer.war inside the tomcat webapps. Then added two new html files inside my space using my webclient. Got the node values of them and updated it in noderefs.jsp which is in customer/includes/
Restarted my tomcat server.

After restart, when I try to access using http://xxx.xxx/customer/ (changed my localhost:8080 to xxx.xxx), I am getting following error in the browser:

There is no error message in tomcat logs…Actually I should view that webpage with WEF editing tools. But getting the above error in browser…
You are saying some thing like:

Now, my issue is: how can i view the web content in the editable format created in web projects??

Is this is my problem… but i had added my html files only inside my website… they will be inside Company Home > Sites > my website name> html files….
Any suggestions???

Thanks,

Usually you need to change that node values to get the correct html files from any location from your repository..

I think you must have changed your alfresco account details i.e. maybe username and password…
check with the web.xml file of the sample customer application. It will have a default username and password like admin..
If you are having different account details, update them and check.

Hope this helps..

hi yogesh,
Can you pl. provide the details of the steps you took for getting it working?
Did you do any modifications to awe-config-custom.xml? If yes, what kind of configuration?
I am using Alfresco 3.3 community edition. I have deployed 'customer' web aplication. I am able to see the edit icons for the text that is marked with <awe:markContent…/> tag.
But, when I click on the edit icon, nothing happens. If I open the url of the edit icon in a new window, it shows Alfresco Web Editor login page and prompts for user name and pwd. Evenif I enter admin/admin, nothing works. The control comes back to the blank AWE login page.
Any suggestions on how this can be resolved? I have specific a custom form in <awe:markContent…/> tag. Are there any configurations required for custom forms?

I am facing the same problem.

I am using Alfresco web editor 3.4.d. I cant get the sample application "customer" working.

I have modified the web.xml to point to my alfresco server which is running on a different machine. The username password configured is admin/admin.
AWE is running on tomcat 6 and my alfresco version is 3.3g.

when I fire http://localhost:8080/customer, I am able to see the html content pulled from the repository. but the interface keeps asking me for the username password. I tried all different combinations of username password but it still wouldnt work.

Anyone has any thoughts on this?

The problem I am having (in my project) is that, it is showing content but not the toolbars and when I checked with firebug, I see the container is set to display:none, not sure what the problem is. The code is:
<span id="alf_1322746458695-1" class="alfresco-content-marker" style="display: none">
