Configurable Dashlet deployment in Alfresco 3.4

[greenhand]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy the configurable dashlet in this link:
     http://www.bluefishgroup.com/library/2010/making-alfresco-share-dashlets-configurable/

The directory structure in Alfresco 3.2 is

`– share
    |– WEB-INF
    |   `– classes
    |       `– alfresco
    |           `– site-webscripts
    |               `– org
    |                   `– alfresco
    |                       |– components
    |                       |   `– dashlets
    |                       |       |– aafb.get.config.xml
    |                       |       |– aafb.get.desc.xml
    |                       |       |– aafb.get.head.ftl
    |                       |       |– aafb.get.html.ftl
    |                       |       |– aafb.get.js
    |                       |       `– aafb.get.properties
    |                       `– modules
    |                           `– aafb
    |                               |– config-aafb.get.desc.xml
    |                               |– config-aafb.get.html.ftl
    |                               |– config-aafb.get.properties
    |                               |– config-aafb.post.desc.xml
    |                               |– config-aafb.post.json.ftl
    |                               |– config-aafb.post.json.js
    |                               `– config-aafb.post.properties
    `– components
        `– dashlets
            |– aafb-min.js
            |– aafb.css
            `– aafb.js
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Could some experts help me to deploy this to Alfresco3.4? I am using Tomcat 6.0.29
   1. the directory structure
   2. any configuration to change?

Thanks!

Hi,

I double check your post, since it was really odd to me.

The path/tree storage proposed, is perfectly good.
I downloaded http://www.bluefishgroup.com/article-assets/code/ExampleConfigurableDashletSource.zip
unzip ot and it works out of the box, on my local 3.4.b.

What is the issue you are facing ?

Regards,

Francois

The current tree structure is putting files into alfresco's tree, which is what I do not like. I would like to isolate all the extensions to the tomcat_home/shared directory to keep Alfresco clean. Any suggestions on this?

Thanks!
