Hi David,

Try to add some contents such as images, documents, flash, etc. at your local alfresco repository.

such as http://localhost:8080/alfresco

login as admin/admin

Add content at Guest Home.

Now you are ready to see images, flashes and documents as links.

Good luck!

Jonas

Thanks, Jonas.

I was actually talking about the download site…but now it's working.

Pulled everything down and trying to set it up.  A little confused by the database instructions - seems like they say to create 2 db's called liferay?  Should one be called 'alfresco'?

Create database for alfresco in MySQL

create database liferay;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;

Create database for liferay in MySQL
create database liferay;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;

You are right, there is one error.

The correct one should be:

Create database for alfresco in MySQL
create database alfresco;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;

Create database for liferay in MySQL
create database liferay;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;
grant all on liferay.* to 'liferay'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'liferay' with grant option;

Great.  That works, and everything starts ok (apart from a Faces error).

I have added some documents to Alfresco Guest Home using admin/admin, and added the Alfresco portlet to Liferay.

I can't seem to find the documents I added, however.

Also, in this set up do you have to duplicate the users/groups etc. in Liferay and Alfresco?

many thanks!!

David

[redcoat]

bump.

Anyone?

Hi David

Which kind of portlets: alfresco client? or alfresco content?

If you want to share same users / groups between Liferay and Alfresco, use LDAP for both Liferay and Alfresco.

Good Luck!

Hi Jonas,

I need to show the content available to the particular user in the portlet. 

In liferay I logged in as Test/test, opened the Add Content pane, and under CMS selected Alfresco and Alfresco Content.

The contect portlet tells me to contact the admin to set up this portlet.  I Click on Select Content and see the User Id/password fields.  I set up a Test/test user in Alfresco and when I tent Test/test in the maximised portlet and click Save, I can browse the content beneath.

However, I need it to automatically use the Liferay user/password and show the content that user has permissions for in the Portlet in the Normal state.

Is this possible?  Am I missing something?

thanks,

David
