Alfresco Share : missing the requirements for CMS features .

[rahul_22]

Hi All,

    I am developing an application in grails and I want to add content management features to it, for which I am exploring alfresco share for the following requirement but I am not finding anything to conclude that alfresco share can  has/support these features :

   Requirements are as follow:-
    1. Scheduled publishing of content .
    2. Content filter on back office based on content status, author etc.
    3. Applications can add items to the groups. – as far as I'm concerned there are only option to add users in groups or to add sub groups.
    4. Add items to the "Administration" page but using the Navigation plugin .
    5. Application should allow creation custom content types.Every type of content has a Status, a Publish From and a Publish field.
       I've seen the documentation for this but that is more like XML configurations .
    6. Depending upon the role of the user , user should be able to mark content draft ,published or etc.
    7. Some users should only be allow to see HTML pages and some should change the templates depending upon the role.

    Related to these requirements i have already gone through the alfresco (implemented server) ,but not able to get where i can exactly fulfill them .
    any suggestions are also welcome .

1. Scheduled publishing of content .
Yes there are various ways.    It hinges on what you mean by "publishing".
2. Content filter on back office based on content status, author etc.
You can search or filter on any property.
3. Applications can add items to the groups. – as far as I'm concerned there are only option to add users in groups or to add sub groups.
Yes groups are for groups of "authorities" not "items"    Content items are stored in spaces - you can set permissions on the space or the item.    You could also give
permissions to a group.
4. Add items to the "Administration" page but using the Navigation plugin .
- Sorry don't know what the "Navigation plugin." is.
5. Application should allow creation custom content types.Every type of content has a Status, a Publish From and a Publish field.
I've seen the documentation for this but that is more like XML configurations .
Yes the type definitions are represented via XML.  There are also various XML tools however they are hardly neccessary.
6. Depending upon the role of the user , user should be able to mark content draft ,published or etc.
Yes.
7. Some users should only be allow to see HTML pages and some should change the templates depending upon the role.
- Sorry what do you mean by templates?

thanks for the fast reply ,

1. publishing like : publishing the video on YouTube channel.
5. Those XML configuration are not for non-technical person , i wish to give that functionality through GUI so that any Admin person can do the same . is that possible ?
6. can you mention the way to do it ? because roles decreases the visibility if the options , but i coudnt find the mark option in the alfresco share .
7. this means that some user can only view the html page but some can edit it .
