Versioning of directories

[hbf]

Dear all,

I would be very glad to receive some clarifications concerning directories and versioning:

1. Versioning for directories is implemented, right?  I just have to apply "cm:versionable" to them, correct?

2. "cm:versionable" in case of a directory means that the directory's list is versioned. So one version may have children {A,B,C} and the next version might have children {B,C,D}. Right? I took this from here but hope it's still valid?

3. Where can I find additional information about how versioning of child-associations (that's what cm:folder's cm:contains is) works in detail? For instance, if a versioned directoy (one in the version history, not the current one) has children {A,B} and A is not versioned and B is versioned, then the reference to A is just a link and the reference to B is a link to a particular version of B (namely the version of B that was the current one when the directory was archived). For the latest version of the directory (the current one), *both* A and B are references that automatically point to the *latest* versions of A and B, respectively. Is this true?

4. How can I see the version history of a directoy in the Alfresco Web Client? How can I revert it to a previous version? The Web Client shows the version history only for files and not for spaces.

5. How do versioned directories relate to "cm:versionable"? Is this going to be an *additional* feature or is it going to replace the current behaviour of "cm:versionable"?

Many thanks,
Kaspar

Hi,

1) Yes versioning of directories is implemented (in the repo at least) BUT this only versions the folder object itself, not all of its contents.  This feature of inherited or banded versioning is to come.

2) Yes I believe this to be correct

3) When a node is versioned all associations emanating from that node will be versioned.  The versioned associations will point to the most recent version of the destination node as you state.

4) At the moment you can't see the version history information for a folder in the web client.  Although the repository supports the notion of a folder being versioned the web client does not provide UI to support this.

5) Here you are making reference to the WCM repository which works differently from the DM repository.  Over the coming months we will be working on closer integrations of these two worlds and I'm sure this will have a positive impact on how we version folders.

Cheers,
Roy

Roy, many thanks for your answers, this is very much appreciated.

Given these clarifications I tried the following script (which I executed via the  "Run Action" command after having copied the Script to Data Dictionary/Scripts of a fresh community-2.1-installation):

var id = companyhome.id;

// create directory and file
var vdir = companyhome.createFolder("VersionedDirectory");
logger.log("vdir.addAspect successful: "+vdir.addAspect("cm:versionable"));
var vfile = vdir.createFile("versionedFile.txt"); // *
logger.log("vfile.addAspect successful: "+vfile.addAspect("cm:versionable")); // *

// add version for file
var chko = companyhome.createFolder("CheckoutPlace");
var workingCopy = vfile.checkout(chko); // *
workingCopy.content = "Initial text."; // *
vfile = workingCopy.checkin("initial version"); // *
var workingCopy = vfile.checkout(chko); // *
workingCopy.content = "Updated text"; // *
vfile = workingCopy.checkin("update from initial version to 1"); // *

// add version for dir
var workingCopyOfVersionedDir = vdir.checkout(chko);
vdir = workingCopyOfVersionedDir.checkin("a history note");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

With my current understanding of versioning, this should create a folder "VersionedDirectory" containing a file "versionedFile.txt", the latter with two versions. Then the directory itself should be versioned (without any changes between the versions).

This results in an exception:

If you uncomment the lines marked with an asterix, the code runs without a problem.

Is this a bug in Alfresco or is my code incorrect?

My ultimate goal for this little test script is to have a directory with two versions: the latest version does not contain any files/folders and the archived version contains the file "versionedFile.txt"…

P.S. I am trying to extend the Thumbnail AMP in order to (a) allow multi-page thumbnails for multi-page documents (that's why I need folders) and (b) ability to manually edit/change/replace thumbnails (that's why I need folders – they are shown in the Web Client). The whole thing should support versioned documents, which means that I have to version the thumbnails and folders that contain them…

I've filed a bug report for this: http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1797

Any news on this from Alfresco side that you could share with us?

Many thanks,
