Folder versioning

goncalo — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:38:33 GMT

In the project I'm working in there is the need to version folders and its children (see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/AVM#Directory_Versioning). As AVM is now deprecated, how can we achieve this without it ?

That will require some investigation into the version service. It could be as simple as configuration or it could require a fairly substantial piece of rework to version the child assocs.

I don't think there is an easy answer. AVM does have its good points!

My best guess would be to add a custom behavior on the event "onCreateVersion" that bubbles up to the parent folders.
This could take care of the data part of the problem but I don't really know how it would fit in the UI.

To get started with the behaviors, I suggest you read:

Thank you for your answers.

We will maybe implement a simpler homemade solution…

Have you implemented folder versioning ? I am looking for the same also.
