Hi Angel,

It was a manual install from the distribution.zip (Alfresco Enterprise) onto CentOS 7

Can you inspect the web page with Developer Tools?

Have you any proxy in front of the Tomcat?

Hi Angel,

No proxy in front of Tomcat.

I had a look at Dev Tools and its showing an exception

global-folder_6f0b3335d02aec70f02c51c1d46955fe.js:formatted:706 Uncaught TypeError: Alfresco.CommonComponentStyleFilterChain is not a constructor

The file it is complaining about is tomcat/webapps/share/modules/documentLibrary/global-folder.js

This section of code (starting at line 1557)

/**
* Gets resource style specified in the {style} configuration that corresponds with matching filter
* from share-documentlibrary-config.xml [CommonComponentStyle][component-style], {browse.folder} component, or null if the filter does not match.
*
* The returned value is used to be set to the treeNode as customCls attribute, used for rendering custom icons in treeView.
* @param p_oData
*/
_buildCustomStyleClass : function DLGF__buildCustomStyleClass(p_oData)
{
var customStyleClass = null;
if (this.options.customFolderStyleConfig)
{
var filterChain = new Alfresco.CommonComponentStyleFilterChain(p_oData,
this.options.customFolderStyleConfig.browse.folder);
customStyleClass = filterChain.createCustomStyle();
}
return customStyleClass;
},

I'll keep digging and update if I find anything.

Damn it!

Sorry Angel, this looks like its being caused by a stray customisation. We have a custom rule action originally developed against Alfresco 5.0 that hasn't been updated.

Thanks for your pointer's on debugging it.
