Alfresco JSR-168 Portlets and IE incompatibility

[icarrara]

I installed Alfresco ECM War V.2.1 under Tomcat running Liferay Portal V.4.3.2 to use the Alfresco JSR-168 Portlets (MySpaces and My Documents).

The problem is that no one of the Alfresco's portlets are ready for Microsoft Internet Explorer. I tested IE V.6 and V.7 under Win 98, Xp Pro, 2003 Server.

I can use the portlets only using Mozilla Firefox under Linux Fedora and Windows Xp or 2003 Server.

The portlets views the static layout but no contents of the folders are viewed… I can see only the little rounding circle but no contents at all … At the bottom of the Internet Browser there is an error message.

Please, there is someone that resolved this prblem?

Thank you for any help!!

Hi

This issue has been fixed in HEAD and v2.9.

If you're familiar with SVN, you can just get updates to the following files:

/root/projects/web-client/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/doclist.get.html.ftl
/root/projects/web-client/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/myspaces.get.html.ftl
/root/projects/web-client/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/mytasks.get.html.ftl
/root/projects/web-client/source/web/scripts/ajax/doclist.js
/root/projects/web-client/source/web/scripts/ajax/mootools.v1.11.js
/root/projects/web-client/source/web/scripts/ajax/myspaces.js‍‍‍‍‍‍

and then update your alfresco.war respectively:

WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/doclist.get.html.ftl
WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/myspaces.get.html.ftl
WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/portlets/mytasks.get.html.ftl
scripts/ajax/doclist.js
scripts/ajax/mootools.v1.11.js
scripts/ajax/myspaces.js‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks,
Mike

P.S. For future issues like this, we'd strongly recommend you raise the issue in JIRA which not only allows us to prioritise accordingly but also means you can track progress yourself and get notification when an issue is resolved.

Thank you Mike for the very good reply!!  And, ok for the Jira as the best place for this kind of post.

Please, could you tell me one more thing?
With the 2.9 Version it's possible to point the Alfresco JSR-168 Portlets to an Alfresco server deployed on a remote server and not only to the one deployed on the same server where Liferay Portal is running (as in the 2.1 Version)?

Thank you for your valuable support!
