Can not change root 'Repository'

3snet — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:39:02 GMT

Hello,I come to you asking for your help because, since migration of 3.4b to 3.4c, I encounter a problem I'm not sure if this is a regression bug or simply a misuse .In fact, with version 3.4b I could change the root of a repository to display the sub-space I wanted to show users instead of displayi

That format should never have worked, as the documentation above the value states you need a nodeRef.

As of 3.4.c, the parser has been updated to allow for an xpath instead. Here's the comment from the share-config-custom.xml.sample in 3.4.c:

      <!–
         Root nodeRef or xpath expression for top-level folder.
         e.g. alfresco://user/home, /app:company_home/st:sites/cm:site1
         If using an xpath expression, ensure it is properly ISO9075 encoded here.
      –>
      <root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So you could have, e.g.

<root-node>/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:contrats/cm:documentLibrary</root-node>‍

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you Mike

it works very well.

I have a second question on the same topic, if I may. Indeed, in the "repository" I have two spaces "Contrats" and "Facture."
Is it possible to have two links to the repository that each shipment on one of the spaces ? For example:

…/contrats/documentlibrary
…/factures/documentlibrary

I know I can do without going through the reposirtory with URLs:


    <header replace="true">
        <app-items>
      …      
      <item type="link" id="contrats" label="Contrats" description="Contrats" icon="../filetypes/generic-contrats-16.png">/site/contrats/documentlibrary </item>
      <item type="link" id="factures" label="Factures" description="Factures" icon="../filetypes/generic-factures-16.png">/site/factures/documentlibrary</item>
         
      <!– Vibles pour le compte "admin" uniquement –>
      <item type="link" id="repository" permission="admin">/repository</item>
   </app-items>
       <dependencies>
            <css src="/modules/create-site.css" />
            <css src="/modules/header/sites.css" />
            <js src="/modules/create-site.js" />
            <js src="/modules/header/sites.js" />
        </dependencies>
    </header>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But now, doing this as I no longer have the option of using the filter categories, so that's why I want to go through the repository.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards.

You can create shortcuts in the Explorer client (/alfresco) but these won't navigate to the Share Site from the Repository view. For example:

If I have "site1" which contains the "documentLibrary" space. In Explorer, I create a shortcut to that space and paste a link into Company Home.

Within Share's Repository browser, the shortcut will drill down into that documentLibrary folder, but won't navigate to the "site1" site. That's because when in "Repository browsing mode" we don't swap out into "Site browsing mode".

However, pasting the shortcut to "site1/documentLibrary" into a folder within "site2" *will* navigate to "site1" as we're already in "Site mode".

Does any of that make sense?

Thanks,
Mike

And in this case what is the url to open this space via this link?
Otherwise, is it possible to set the root of the "repository" and create two different links for the two space as follows :



   <!– Global config section –>
   <config replace="true">
      <flags>
         <!–
            Developer debugging setting to turn on DEBUG mode for client scripts in the browser
         –>
         <client-debug>false</client-debug>
         <!–
            LOGGING can always be toggled at runtime when in DEBUG mode (Ctrl, Ctrl, Shift, Shift).
            This flag automatically activates logging on page load.
         –>
         <client-debug-autologging>false</client-debug-autologging>
      </flags>
      
    <header replace="true">
        <app-items>
          …      
          <item type="link" id="contrats" label="Contrats" description="Contrats" icon="../filetypes/generic-contrats-16.png">/repository/contrats/documentlibrary </item>
         <item type="link" id="factures" label="Factures" description="Factures" icon="../filetypes/generic-factures-16.png">/repository/factures/documentlibrary</item>
          …  
         <!– 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>
       <!–
         Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
        –>
       <root-node>/app:company_home/st:sites</root-node>      
        … 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The easiest way to find the URL is browse to the space you want and grab it from the browser's address bar.

Hi,

Here is an example URL (which contains special character) that I would like to link to a button on the header is :


http://my-domain.com:8080/share/page/repository#filter=path%7C/CV-th%25E8que/Archive&page=1
‍‍‍

How and where exactly should I declare in the file "share-config-custom.xml"

Thanks,

The only place you can add URLs is the header. If you want path navigation then that's folder shortcuts.

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry to insist, but I'm not sure I understood what I could do. Do you mean I have to change the file "share-config-custom.xml" as follows :


   <!– Global config section –>
   <config replace="true">
      <flags>
         <!–
            Developer debugging setting to turn on DEBUG mode for client scripts in the browser
         –>
         <client-debug>false</client-debug>
         <!–
            LOGGING can always be toggled at runtime when in DEBUG mode (Ctrl, Ctrl, Shift, Shift).
            This flag automatically activates logging on page load.
         –>
         <client-debug-autologging>false</client-debug-autologging>
      </flags>
      
    <header replace="true">
        <app-items>
          …      
          <item type="link" id="contrats" label="Contrats" description="Contrats" icon="../filetypes/generic-contrats-16.png">/repository#filter=path%7C/contrats/Archive&page=1
</item>
         <item type="link" id="factures" label="Factures" description="Factures" icon="../filetypes/generic-factures-16.png">/repository#filter=path%7C/factures/Archive&page=1
</item>
          …  
         <!– 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>
       <!–
         Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
        –>
       <root-node>/app:company_home/st:sites</root-node>      
        … 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Does this URL format is supported in Alfresco Share? If so how should write special characters ?

Thanks.
