Known Issues
- Problems have been noticed while connecting to Alfresco with the Sharepoint Protocol using Microsoft Office 2010
- Problems have recently been reported when publishing status updates to Facebook
- Support for SlideShare as a publishing channel type is available but commented-out by default, since it only supports uploads using HTTP. SlideShare is aware of this and is working on a solution, but in the meantime only use this if you fully understand the risks. Your SlideShare credentials will be sent 'in the clear'. To enable this publishing channel type import the Spring context file: 'classpath*:alfresco/slideshare-publishing-context.xml'
- Updates to categories via the Category Manager in the Admin Console may not appear immediately if Solr is the used as the search engine.
Please refer to Alfresco Jira system for other known issues. https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/secure/IssueNavigator!executeAdvanced.jspa?jqlQuery=project+%3D+ALF...
