Flash Upload Disable not working

[solanky]

Hi,

I have recently installed alfresco 4.0.b on my windows machine. Everything is working fine except the flash upload. I have found that this is problem faced by a lot of persons so I try to disable flash upload using share-config-custom.xml file. Location of the file is C:\Alfresco-4.0.b-1\apache-tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension . I have restarted the tomcat and even the computer but flash upload is still not disabled. Please let me know where I am wrong.  Could there be issues that tomcat is not reading this file as I have replaced localhost with 192.168.1.129 but that is also not working?

Content of share-config-custom.xml is as following -

<alfresco-config>
  
   <!– Repository Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!–
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      –>
      <visible>true</visible>
   </config>

If neither of those configs work it sounds like your file isn't being read. Could there be another instance of that file on your server perhaps?
It shouldn't be, but that would explain why your file isn't being picked up. I.e. that there is a share-config-custom.xml elsewhere in the classpath and that its config is being picked up instead.

Cheers, Erik

Thanks Erik for help. I have searched for the file but could not find another instance of the same.

Sounds strange, so what happens if you place the same file in the WEB-INF/classes inside Share's exploded war directory (inside the web apps folder)?
Does it work then?

Also out of interest, where did you get the following "repo link config" from?

<!– Repository Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!–
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      –>
      <visible>true</visible>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

…this looks like old config, the repo link in a 4.0 server is governed by the <header> config…

<config>
    <header>
         <app-items>
            <!– defaults: icon="{id}.png" label="header.{id}.label" description="header.{id}.description" –>
            <item type="link" id="my-dashboard">{userdashboardpage}</item>
            <item type="js" id="sites">Alfresco.module.Sites</item>
            <item type="link" id="people">/people-finder</item>
            <item type="link" id="repository" condition="conditionRepositoryRootNode">/repository</item>
            …
        </app-items>
    </header> 
<config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Cheers and good luck, Erik

The issue is resolved. After Erik's response I check into tomcat error logs and found "Input stream invalid - skipped for source: classpath:alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml' " error. Then I looked in the file and found that that 'TM' in Adobe Flash™  was culprit .
