Solution: tag multiple files at once

zbennett — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:47:32 GMT

Hi all,I've developed a very simple process for tagging multiple files at once. It relies on repository actions/rules and a couple lines of JavaScript, and it's all described below. Once you're all set up, you will be able to make a file inherit tags from a folder you move it into. My example is use

Does anyone know if abhashree should refresh webscripts or restart Tomcat to make the tagger.js script appear?

abhashree, can you confirm that tagger.js is in Repository > Data Dictionary > Scripts?

Hi guys,
The instructions were straight forward, I am sure if you followed them properly everything should work perfectly. 1 thing that you need to know is: you need to enable repository. to do that you
1. Go to share-config-custom.xml, you can rename share-config-custom.xml.sample under tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension\ to share-config-custom.xml.

2. Set <visible>true</visible> like the one below.

<!– Repository Library config section –>

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">

      <!–

         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.

      –>

      <visible>true</visible>

3. Then follow the instructions as they are, you don't need to create folders yourself. just click on Repository, and keep doing it till you are done.
Hope this helps,

Thanks,
Croc

Hi Croc
I have checked the file ..
i found everything ok
but still i am not able to execute tagger.js in the scripts while creating rules in auto-tagger .

My next guess is that the difference might be between using version 3.3 and version 3.2.

Can any experienced 3.2 users clarify how to execute a JS script from a rule? Is it the same as 3.3?

abhashree, this is kind of a long shot, but have you tried configuring the rule from the old Alfresco interface (not Share)?

abhashree — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:21:39 GMT

hi
i am also using alfresco3.3..i dont know how it is reflecting version 3.2 in my alfresco profile.
i have also created my own rule and applied to it..
i have followed each steps described by you but didnt get the result..

Re: Solution: tag multiple files at once

zbennett — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:25:08 GMT

Do you see anything in the Execute Script drop-down? For example - Alfresco Lucene Search; Append Copyright to File; Backup Script; etc…

Great Tutorial!

After I upload all of my documents into the auto-tag subfolders, the tag counts are incorrect. Is there a way to update the tag counts?

Could this be because of this issue? https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-1328

Did you input a Title to your script when you created it?

The selection box in Share doesn't take the name of the script, but its title. So you may see what appears as a blank line in the selection box.. it'd be in fact your script.

Followed the instructions and specified a title. Unfortunately I do not find the new script while creating a rule from Share.

If I try to create the rule from Alfresco Explorer, the script is available.

My Alfresco version is 3.4.d CE.

Hi alarocca,

Early in my testing, I found that I sometimes needed to restart Tomcat or just wait it out before new scripts would appear in the list. You might also try clearing your browser cache. I don't even know if clearing your cache *could* solve the problem, but that's typically the first thing I do when a web page isn't updating as I expect it to.

Also, have you tried creating these rules through Alfresco and then testing them in Share?

Does anyone have an updated version of the script with will work with 4.0x ?

Re: Solution: tag multiple files at once

chops88 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:23:56 GMT

Ditto - trying the script on Community 4.0 doesnt do anything. Is the syntax correct in the script for 4.0?
