Web Forms and CIFS

Do you know if it is possible to mount under CIFS de Web Forms Folder?? I would be great for me, so that I have a multi-language web portal and I have to repeat all the web forms for each language, for changing in each one the output folder and the name.Thanks.

Ah …

You can of course access the Web Forms folder by mounting the general Alfresco repostory. Web Forms are contained in a normal space under the Data Dictionary.

Now, I'd encourage you to avoid replicating web forms for each language. You can instead use our message bundle support to create language-specific labels for the fields in your web form, and for your output path, you can use a field value in the form itself to specify the content generation path. That field value can be either a user-selectable field (make the user select French, Thai, or Japanese) or can be auto-generated via a JSP in-line callout to a read-only value (so that the user doesn't need to select, and potentially make an error).

This should be much more efficient than copying and pasting lots of web forms. Cheers.
