Repository Access from Alfresco Share

[piski]

Hi all,

I've recently read what's the new abilities of Alfresco Entreprise 3.2
-> http://www.alfresco.com/products/editions/enterprise/3-2/

[size=85]"Repository Access from Alfresco Share – Users can now use Alfresco Share to browse both the collaboration area and the general document management area. Allowing users to quickly move from working within a project team to general document management without having to change clients.
New Navigation options – Users can now browse the document repository using folders, Cloud Tags, Category lists or by Favourites. These new options make it even easier to find the correct content."[/size]

I've seen how to configure it here -> http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enabling_Share_Repository_Document_Library

I check this and the result is that I have'nt a file such as tomcat/shared/classes/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml.sample in my web-extension directory

I was not able to find a related subject so this is my questions :

Is this enchancement is only available for Entreprise version ?
If yes : Will this improvement be available in Community version and When (next release, road map) ?
If no : Where this file is located ? How to install correctly this ability ?

Thanks you all !

It will be in v3.3 Community, and you can see that today if you get the current version from HEAD.

Copy the sample file from tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension

Thanks,

Thanks Mike for your reply

What do you mean by "if you get the current version from HEAD" ?

Thanks for your help !

Hi Mike,

I've placed share-config-custom.xml in the directory opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension, have restarted tomcat via opt/tomcat/alfresco.sh stop & then  opt/tomcat/alfresco.sh start but I still don't see the repository link or the categories when I log into Share. I've refreshed my browser cache & have tried in FF (3.6) & Safari (4.0.5)

I know that the system is picking up the file, because if I put an error (non closing tag, for example) I see the error in the logs.

My share-config-custom.xml file is as follows:

<alfresco-config>
   <!– Global config section –>
   <config replace="true">
      <flags>
         <!–
            Developer debugging setting to turn on DEBUG mode for client scripts in the browser
         –>
         <client-debug>true</client-debug>
         <!–
            LOGGING can always be toggled at runtime when in DEBUG mode (Ctrl, Ctrl, Shift, Shift).
            This flag automatically activates logging on page load.
         –>
         <client-debug-autologging>false</client-debug-autologging>
      </flags>
   </config>

   <!– Document Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">

      <!–
         Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
         This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.

      </tree>

      <!–
         Used by the "Manage Aspects" action

         For custom aspects, remember to also add the relevant i18n string(s)
            cm_myaspect=My Aspect

         <!– Aspects that a user can see –>
         <visible>
            <aspect name="cm:generalclassifiable" />

         Define valid subtypes using the following example:

         Remember to also add the relevant i18n string(s):

      –>

I'm running this version:

Do you have any suggestions?  It's looking like something else is failing but I'm at a loss to know what?

Thanks

Doh!
Sorry Mike, hadn't noticed the 'Enterprise' qualifier! Is there a way to backport this functionality to 3.2r2?

Cheers,
Eddie

Not very feasible I'm afraid, sorry - it'll be in v3.3 released soon.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response. Quick but difficult question - how soon is soon?! Is it likely early April or late June, etc?
Thanks
Eddie

In the next few weeks or so.
