WebStudio How to work in detail

[ebi70]

Dear All,

First of all I am new with a WCM-System and try to learn about, till now not everything is clear for me!

I played now a little with the Alfresco Labs 3 version.
I have seen Surf, WebStudio, etc.

Now I try to created a dynamic WebSite with Alfresco Studio.

I have created a new Project in Studio based on the "Green Energie … template".
I filled the header, footer, etc. with the corresponding components and have seen in Alfresco WCM that there is now my created Project with a few files in the subfolders:
* components
* pages
* etc.


Now comes my questions:
   1. What I missed, are the files, which include the HTML-code, which I inserted in the components. Must I create them self in Alfresco WCM?
   2. How can I test then my created Web-Site?
   3. When I want to have own Web Components, how I can I do this? Must I create them in Surf and upload them?
   4. I have created a simple WebSite in Surf, must I now create in the corresponding missing files in WCM-System in my project self?

As I sayed before. This is my first time I play with a CM-System, when you would have a document for beginners with a description, how all components of Alfresco play together, this would be very nice. Or a sample, of how to create a WebSite with Studio from scratch, with testing and a description  what I must create self, or save then some where files, etc, this would be perfect. I have read many manuals and descriptions on the wiki. The manuals are a good, as well as the description in it, but I think they are written for users, which have knowledge with a CM-System, but as you can see I am a beginner.

Hope my questions are not to confusing!

Thanks for you helps.

Best regards,
Sven

I was in the same situation, so I can give you useful links :

- http://www.slideshare.net for Optaros Surf Code Camp labs
- http://ecmarchitect.com for code camp code
- http://www.alfresco.com/about/events/ondemand/ for Alfresco recorded Webinars. Try "Introducing the Alfresco SURF Platform" and "Developing Web Studio Components"

Hope this helps

Hello.
Not yet any detailled documentation, guide, tutorial which present everything available about web site creation using Web Studio? In my society, we choose Alfresco as documentation content management, used in Web & Samba modes, and I would try to use Web Studio to implement the simple web site of my enterprise. But this software seems to be too young… because I need really more than only drag-n-drop pictures like in the GreenEnergy tutorial…
And does I need to use the Alfresco Enterprise Edition in place of Community Edition to have an access to Alfresco Network (where developers submit their contributions, like new WebComponents) ???
FYI I already visited all wiki pages about Web Studio: there are only redondant introductions.
Thank you.
