We are using Alfresco 3.4.5 would like to utilise sharepoint support of Alfresco. Presently I am able to do the documents editing online, only for the documents present in the documentlibrary of site. But I would like to have the Edit Online option for all the documents present in the entire repository. How can I achieve this?
this is not supported by the Alfresco SPP module at this time. We have implemented something like this for a customer of us and it required some major customization of the Alfresco module.
Hello AFaust, I need to implement the same requirement that you have achieved (implementing the online edit for all the documents in the repository, not only in sites). Can you please provide me with some helpful ressources to start with ? thanks in advance. Best regards.
this is nothing trivial / easy to achieve. You need to be familiar with Java development and modify the Alfresco sources to do this. You also need to get to know the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg134031.aspx">SharePoint Protocol documentation</a> to understand the basic messages / operations that Alfresco implements and what you may modify to achieve your goal. Unfortunately, I do not know any other resources that may be helpful. When we did this, we did this on a low-level with only Alfresco code and Microsoft documentation (and a bit of trial and error) to guide us….
Actually I have managed to make the online edit work inside the site documentlibrary, do you have any idea how and when to move the document to the repository after the user finish the edit and close ms office
