Missing toolbar items

wichmanne — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 09:56:30 GMT

Hi,I am new to Alfresco, so this might be a dumb question.I've installed Community version 4 and am up and running ok. But when I use Alfresco Explorer I only get "Document Library" and "Members" in my toolbar.The documentation says I should be seeing toolbar links for Calendar, Admin Console, Wiki

Is this a FAQ; I have the same issue. I have not found any configuration that enables. Please assist.

I guess the documentation is a little behind reality (it's still in beta)… We only provision a Document Library in the default preset now. You can manually add the other pages by going to the More menu then Customize Site and dragging the components you want into the "Current Site Pages" area.

If you want the others available by default, you can edit the preset. See Dave Draper's blog at blogs.alfresco.com for details.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I could not find More…Customize Site in my installation. Why would that be missing?

However, I did manage to work out how to amend the toolbar. I amended the dashboard.xml in:
Repository>Sites>(sitename)>surf-config>pages>site>(sitename)

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <page>
<title>Collaboration Site Dashboard</title>
<title-id>page.siteDashboard.title</title-id>
<description>Collaboration site's dashboard page</description>
<description-id>page.siteDashboard.description</description-id>
<authentication>user</authentication>
<template-instance>dashboard-2-columns-wide-right</template-instance>
- <properties>
<sitePages>[{"pageId":"documentlibrary"}, {"pageId":"calendar"}]</sitePages>
</properties>
</page>

The above amendment in <sitepages> adds the Calendar onto the toolbar.
