How to develop custom publish channels?

mike001 — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:55:12 GMT

Hello,I see from the release notes and documentation for v4.0 you can develop custom publish channels using 'the supplied framework'. However, I can't find anymore information on how to do this. Please can someone point me at an example custom channel or at some docs on where to begin?Many thanks,Mi

Thanks that link is really useful to get me started.

I'll probably not use Spring Social though as I would like to publish to a legacy application.

Many thanks,

Mike.

Hello,

I've been following through the steps in the posted link but I have a couple of questions please:

1) where do i place deliverchannel type definition I've created for it to appear in the new channel list?
2) do I place the spring context file in the alfresco web app folder where the standard ones (youtube, twitter etc) are found?
3) do I just package up my implementation classes and place the jar in the alfresco/WEB-INF/lib folder?

Many thanks in advance.

Mike.

nm I figured it out.

The definition files go in <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/

Mike, can you elaborate on the 'legacy application' to which you are publishing? I'd like to know some more details on how people are using the publishing channels other than for social media. If one were to envision a delivery mechanism to say, a NoSQL database, is the Publishing Channel worth pursuing? I admit I've not run through the blog steps to setup the custom publishing channel.

Hello,

Can anyone please let me know in which files does this configuration changes go. I need to create a custom publishing channel which will house all the published content to be displayed on our website.

Thanks
Chunkz

Hi All,
Hope you all doing well,

I am a marklogic developer and i am very new to Alfresco.
I have given a task to integrate Alfresco with MarkLogic so that the contents uploaded to Alfresco can be published to MarkLogic after the completion of the workflow and hence the applications running on MarkLogic can access those contents.

I have gone through the blogs such as :
1- http://www.ixxus.com/blog/2012/02/creating-custom-publication-channel-alfresco-4-using-ixxus-marklogic-connector
2- http://www.zaizi.com/blog/alfresco-connector-marklogic

But i am not able to understand where to actually configure the delivery channel as discussed in the given blogs.
I have followed the steps provided in both the blogs. I tried to placing the jar files generated from the adapter (https://github.com/zaizi/marklogic-alfresco-integration) to C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\lib and
C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\lib as discussed in the above blogs but it did not worked.

MarkLogic server (Version 5.x) and Alfresco (Community-4.2.f) both are running on Windows 7 environment.

Please provide some clues so that i can start.

Thanks All, in advance.
