Is it still possible to edit a document in google docs from alfresco share 4.2? - alfresco

I have a 4.0.x binary installation of alfresco and have this menu highlighted below:
I have 2 custom installed 4.2.c versions and this option is missing. I have done the following to try and enable it as read from different parts of the web:
1) added the two following lines to both the share and the repo's alfresco-global.properties file
#enable GoogleDocs integration
googledocs.enabled=true
googledocs.googleeditable.enabled=true
2)Modified the share-custom-config.xml file in attempts to enable this and other google docs functionality.
So far this is the only thing missing. I am not sure whether this is a bug or whether I'm overlooking something else.

Yes, Google Docs integration works fine with Alfresco Community Edition 4.2.c. In fact, here is a video that shows you how to get it working:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbNDEp1KG1g
The video shows that the out-of-the-box installer will not create a working Google Docs integration due to changes on the Google side. So you need to reinstall the AMPs to both the alfresco and share wars as gagravarr mentioned above.
If you are using Google Docs integration in the repository folders (external to a Share site) you will need to install from head because there is a bug. If you are using the integration only within Share sites the latest released version of the integration, downloadable from the 4.2.c file list page, will be fine.

There are no Views in the 2sic App-Media Directory application sample

I've downloaded App-Media Directory 1.0.0.7 from https://2sxc.org/en/apps/app/media-directory-app-for-dnn-dotnetnuke, and install it fine, but when I go into Apps Management I do NOT see any Views (or Queries or WebAPIs), and I believe I've seen references to List View and Press Release View. I also don't find this on GitHub to see if they might be there somehow.
Any ideas? I've not looked at older releases yet.
I posted a quick response to this on the same git-hub question. basically it's a very old ZIP format with an old XML inside it.
Importing it into a 2sxc 8 and re-exporting it fixes stuff, but since the app is very old and uses AngularJS, I don't recommend it.

Starting a project on google code: where is download tab?

I started an open source project on google code. I've seen in other google code projects Downloads tab where I suppose to upload my files. I need to share a Liferay project and I prefer in this phase to share a zip/war file (Liferay bundles with source code): is it possible to do this? How it is possible to create Downloads tab? Do I need to use mercurial, svn or git also for this step?
I'm sorry, but Google Code no longer supports downloads for new projects. The download links you've seen are for older projects that were grandfathered in, but those projects also will no longer be able to create new downloads starting next January.

Which is the correct web site to download Moq binary files?

I want to play around with Moq framework. I wanted to download the framework, so I reached http://code.google.com/p/moq/ through google, but the first line mentions that this project has been moved to GitHub. When I went to GitHub I see only the source code. My questions are :
1) Which is the correct web site to download Moq binaries.? (I do not want Source code.).
2) Why am I not able to view the binary files in the GitHub website for Moq. Is it that I need to download the source code and then compile it myself.?
3) Should I only go to GitHub website in future for any updates. Currently code.google.com/p/moq provides binary files.
The moq project now moved to github. The quickstart is also now on github
So to answer you questions:
You can get the latest version from nuget: http://nuget.org/packages/Moq/
Or download the latest binaries from github: https://github.com/Moq/moq4/releases
At the moment you can still download the old moq binaris from the Downloads page: https://code.google.com/p/moq/downloads/list (you can use to search filter if you are looking for older versions) or you can use
In the future a who knows where it be hosted, because it is an open source project you can create you own fork and maintain it to make sure that it will last until you need it.

How to host and publish Alfresco WCM

I'm very new to Alfresco and trying to get hold of it. I'm using Community edition 4.2 and I've created one website using Alfresco Share and I did not imported Government/Finance website data. Below is the screenshot -
Now I've created two folders under Document Library tab and have uploaded few PDFs into that. It looks like below -
Now if I click on publish link then its saying that "There is no appropriate channel for this content".
I entered ubswcm as URL name while creating this site.
I followed the link http://docs.huihoo.com/alfresco/Getting-Started-with-WCM-for-Alfresco-Commumity-Edition-3.2.pdf which talks about stating but I could not find staging in this version of Alfresco 4.2.
My questions
How can I publish this content?
How can I run this website on localhost? Do I need to create war file? If so then please advice how to proceed on this.
http://:8080/wcmqs running fine. How can I build slimier site like this in http://:8080/ubswcm ? Please suggest if you have any tutorial on this.
Many thanks for your help!
You need to follow a tutorial on the Alfresco Web Quick Start capabilities. You should find that these capabilities are well-documented on docs.alfresco.com, e.g. Using Alfresco Web Quick Start.
Do not confuse Web Quick Start with the Social Publishing framework (which the Publish action is associated with) or with the legacy AVM-based WCM services (which I assume the PDF refers to, but I could not tell for sure as you link gives me a 404) that are no longer supported in Alfresco 4.

Alfresco Share: what shall I do make my documents previewable?

When I upload document into Alfresco Share library - site tells me: "preview is anavailable for a document" though document is a standard winword.
What shall I do to make my winword documents previewable? I use Community Alfresco Edition
In order to let the preview correctly work, you need the following third party software to be properly installed on the server running Alfresco:
OpenOffice (NOTE: don't use version 3.3.0 as it is affected by a known bug)
Imagemagick
swftools
The first link I provided already includes the configuration changes you need to provide Alfresco with in order to point out to those external tools.
You can add custom preview for documents in alfresco share, Fist you need to add new mime type (here) in alfresco and then Create your preview plug in which renders the content in document details page
you can refer this example for creating plug in PdfJs
For more information refer this page
