Advanced Search in Dashlet

[luiz_taira]

Hi everyone.

I´m a developer from Brazil and at the moment I´m using Alfresco Share for some customizations.
Now, I need to create an Advanced Search in a dashlet, but this research need to find metadata too.
This research is possible? Can I research in metadatas of the files?

Tks!

Is there a timeline for this feature to come in enterprise version of alfresco 3.3?

It'll be sometime in Q2 2010

We implemented advanced search in Share a few months back but were reluctant to post any solution as the Alfresco roadmap had it planned for Q1 2010 release. The current roadmap has moved the Advanced Search release to Q4 2010.

I am wary that our solution is very likely to be completely different from the Alfresco solution and i'm not sure how this will be taken up by our end-users when we eventually move to the Alfresco solution.

Regardless, if anyone is interested in an interim solution please post your interest and i will look at a way of making the code available. The solution is not a dashlet, it is a seperate page and makes use of the forms engine. It also introduces additional maintenance issues i.e another xml file of the content model. It was developed quite rapidly and maybe some extra hands could assist in fine tuning this solution.

Hi everybody,

For those of you who are still interested in such a feature I'm pleased to tell you that we've already implemented advanced search for Alfresco Share. It is based on Forms service and search forms are highly configurable.

Take a look at this link for more details: http://www.iptechinside.com/labs/documents/show/3.

You can access the project at AlfrescoForge http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/advancedsearch/ or directly here at http://www.iptechinside.com/labs/projects/show/alfrescoshare

Hope it helps,

Thanks for posting that so other users can share it! We will be adding an advanced search UI to Share in 3.4 - unfortunately it didn't make it into 3.3 (just the advanced fts syntax as above).

Thanks,

Hi,

We've released Advanced search for Alfresco Share for another version of Alfresco: 3.2r2 Community Edition.

Download: http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=242
or here http://www.iptechinside.com/labs/projects/list_files/alfrescoshare

Don't forget to give us your feedback.

Best Regards.

That's incredible that alfresco didn't migrate the advanced search of the old "Alfresco Web Explorer" (JSF) into Share.
That's the heart of alfresco business software : "store and search".
Thanks IP-TechLabs, I will then use the 3.2r community for my new project.

Advanced Search UI for Share is scheduled for 3.4 - it has a much more modern and usable design than the old Explorer client.

Cheers,

Kev

OK. But that's too late for me .
IP-TechLabs > I just extracted as it the zip archive for 3.2r2 community and started alfresco share.
Then "add document", "create folder" menus doesn't not appears anymore….is there something more to do ?

Thanks.

EDIT : appearently, alfresco share EE 3.2r interface is not exactly the same as alfresco share 3.2r2 CE interface. In the latter, the add document button is not present in fact….
