Ability to display document, not just preview

[mgoldman]

I was hoping I could link an article from Joomla directly to a file within Alfresco. We are using Alfresco to manage our web content (HTML files). And want it to render back in Joomla.

Is this possible with the current integration techniques?

I tried doing it with the preview, but I'm using 5.2r Alfresco and I believe the preview doesn't work for some reason, it just comes up with a "black" box with the metadata on the side. I have tried all of the suggestions here but it just doesn't work. Sorry a little new to the Alfresco stuff and just doing what I was asked by my boss.

Yes you can link directly to each file within alfresco.   Every content item has its own URL.

I will give that a try.. it would really be nice to have the ability within Joomla to "select" article from Alfresco rather then having to manually go back and forth, maybe an upgrade to the integration later..

Basically I'm trying to replicate a Documentum or Oracle UCM/Webcenter interface using Joomla and Alfresco. Each tool by themselves is pretty good, but if I could tie them together better we would have a complete website with Web content management.. Thanks for all the hard work!
