Alfresco Demo

[eranw]

Hi,
As you can see I am new to Afresco so please point me to resources if I ask beginners questions.
1) I have to build a document managment demo for my company, first thing I like to do is to change the look & feel of the dashboard to match the company logo and theam. - Can I replace Alfresco logo on the dashboard?
2) Can I set the default navigator to open as shelf?
3) Where can I read about the different roles and what permission each has?
4) If I remove Everyone group from the User space will this prevent the user from reading his own space?

More questions to come…

Thanks,
Eran Witkon

1) Yes. All images can be found in folders here:
\tomcat<or where you installed>\webapps\alfresco\images
Right click on the images in your browser to find the file names.

2) Yes. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Changing_the_default_Sidebar_component_from_the_...

3) Here is a summary of the Roles and their permissions:
Consumer - Can only Read documents and folder. Cannot add new or modify existing or delete anything.
Editor - In addition to Read, an Editor can modify existing objects and check them in/out - but they cannot delete or add new items to the space.
Contributor - In addition to Read, a Contributor can add new items to the space (with full permissions on those items) but cannot modify existing items that they do not own.
Collaborator - A combination of the Editor and Contributor roles.
Coordinator - The Coordinator can do anything to all nodes in the space.

4) No - it will prevent other users (except admin) from viewing the spaces. The user himself has special "OWNER" rights which means they can perform any operation in their space.

Thanks,

Kevin

Tried this but
a: this section does not exist in the config file.
b: if you add it you get a config exception on load.

   <!–
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Sidebar">
      <sidebar>
         <!– the default sidebar plugin to be shown on app startup –>
         <default-plugin>shelf</default-plugin>
      </sidebar>
   </config>
   –>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The section does not need to exist until you add it.

Are you sure you added it correctly as it works fine here. What is the full exception trace?

Thanks,

Kevin

I noticed you pasted this:

   <!–
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Sidebar">
      <sidebar>
         <!– the default sidebar plugin to be shown on app startup –>
         <default-plugin>shelf</default-plugin>
      </sidebar>
   </config>
   –> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Which won't work - as you have nested XML comment blocks - I assume you didn't actually add it like that i.e. thats from a config file that you have been testing.
