Hi All,

We have requirement to setup Alfresco folder structure using some script while Installing.

Means when user logs in to Alfresco he/she should get particular folder hierarchy, so user doesn't have to create folder manually.

How can I implement this?

Thanks for any help.

Have you explored using Space Templates?  There's an example in Data Dictionary.

Thanks richard,

Space template will be useful when we start alfresco and to create space structure from that manually. Please
correct if I am wrong.

Our requirement is to have particular folder structure created automatically when user Installs the Alfresco
and boots up for the first time. Is it possible?

If possible then what are the options to deploy this type of requirement?

Thanks for any help.

You can always bootstrap an ACP that has the hierarchy you desire.  But, it almost seems you have specialized requirements, which you may need to resort to something clever using the APIs.  You have to consider though, what you say is every time a user logs in, a particular hierarchy is built.

Think carefully.  You could potentially explore extending the homefolderprovider bean to do this…
