Hi,We are evaluating the Web Quick Start functionality, and I have a couple of questions so far..1. The default workflow is fine for some of the sites/users, but in many of our smaller sites where the individual creating & editing the content IS the site manager, the "Start workflow -> revie

Not sure about your second question - will have to look into that a little deeper. It may be a bug.

With regard to the one-step publish, however, this is reasonably straightforward as long as you don't mind making adjustments to a couple of the WebQS files used to extend Share (in the wcmqs-share-3.4.amp file). If you're working from the source then you can rebuild the AMP file after making your changes using the command "ant package-wcmquickstart-share-extension". If you only have the WebQS Share AMP file then you can unzip it (it is a standard ZIP file). If you only have the share.war file then you can unjar it and work in there. You may want to try to make the process repeatable if you want to be able to apply the changes to later releases too. The steps to take are:

Find the file named "wcmqs-actions.js". In the same folder create a new file named, for example, "wcmqs-action-extensions.js". Put the following in that new file:


(function()
{
   Alfresco.doclib.Actions.prototype.onPublish = function WCMQS_onPublish(asset)
   {
      var displayName = asset.displayName;
   
      this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      {
         success:
         {
            event:
            {
               name: "metadataRefresh"
            },
            message: this.msg("message.wcmqs.asset-published-success")
         },
         failure:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.wcmqs.asset-published-failure")
         },
         webscript:
         {
            method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST,
            stem: Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + "api/",
            name: "actionQueue"
         },
         config:
         {
            requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON,
            dataObj:
            {
               actionedUponNode: asset.nodeRef,
               actionDefinitionName: "webqs_publish"
            }
         }
      });
   };
})();

Find the file named "wcmqs.documentlist.get.head.ftl". Add a line to it to import the new script file that you added in step 1. It should now look like this:


<#include "../component.head.inc">
<#include "../form/form.get.head.ftl">
<!– WCM QuickStart actions - JS –>
<@script type="text/javascript" src="${page.url.context}/res/components/documentlibrary/wcmqs-actions.js"></@script>
<@script type="text/javascript" src="${page.url.context}/res/components/documentlibrary/wcmqs-action-extensions.js"></@script>
<!– Document List –>
<@link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${page.url.context}/res/components/documentlibrary/documentlist.css" />
<@script type="text/javascript" src="${page.url.context}/res/components/documentlibrary/documentlist.js"></@script>
<!– WCM QuickStart actions - CSS –>
<@link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${page.url.context}/res/components/documentlibrary/wcmqs-actions.css" />
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Find the file named "wcmqs.documentlist.get.config.xml". In that file, find the XML element "<actionSet id="document">" and add this line somewhere inside it (where you place it will dictate where it appears in the list of actions the user will see):


         <action type="action-link" id="onPublish" permission="delete" label="actions.wcmqs.publish-webasset" />
‍‍‍

Finally, find the file named "wcmqs.documentlist.get.properties" and add the following lines at the bottom of it:


actions.wcmqs.publish-webasset=Publish Web Asset
message.wcmqs.asset-published-success=Asset queued for publishing
message.wcmqs.asset-published-failure=Failed to place asset on the publishing queue
‍‍‍‍‍

Once you've repackaged everything (and reapplied the AMP file if necessary) you should see the "Publish Web Asset" action available for your assets.
