Publishing channel

[krups]

Hi All,

I just wondering if someone knows about how to create custom drupal channel in alfresco?
I want to publish alfresco contents to drupal site.

Thanks in advance.

One way to do it is to use the Drupal CMIS API module available at drupal.org. It knows how to sync content between Alfresco and Drupal. That is a Drupal-side solution that uses pure CMIS to talk to Alfresco.

If instead you literally want to create a custom Drupal channel on the Alfresco side, that's different. You might listen to <a href="http://www2.alfresco.com/TTL_Episode_52">this TechTalkLive</a>. Honestly, I don't remember whether Richard McKnight talked about creating a publication channel or not during this discussion, but I believe he has built something similar in the past.

Generally speaking, those channels are extensible, so really I think it's going to be more of an exercise on the Drupal side and less so on the Alfresco side.

I don't know of any good walkthroughs of creating a custom publication channel. You may have to dig.

Maybe you can try a few things and report back if you hit a specific roadblock.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your response.
Actually I have got cmis and cmis views modules installed and configured on drupal site.
and I can view alfresco content onto drupal site. but I want to make alfresco node published on drupal site(create a copy) so published nodes can be displyed on home page.
I will try to play with cmis.

Thanks again.
