I have a problem identifying the root folder documentLibrary after creating a new site.
I'm using a POST command to create a new site (to service/modules/create-site) and everything looks fine, the site is there. However, listing the folders show that there is no defaultLibrary. I need its ID in order to create new folders on the site visible on the web pages of Alfresco share.
My impression is that the documentLibrary is only created when you access for the first time the site on the web. Any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: the correct name is documentLibrary
You are correct. The documentLibrary is created on the first access. You can use the siteService.getContainer method in the javascript services API. It will create the container if it does not exist: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_Services_API#Get_container_folder_for_component_id
I think the correct naming of the componentId is documentLibrary.
I had the same problem.
I solved it by creating a folder for the template i use in Data Dictionary/Space Templates
Then the documentlibrary is created.

I have to create new action in folder inside document library.I have been trying to add an action but its not working out. I wan the action to available in this menu:
Need some help in the implementation. When I go into Alfresco Share interface, I see the concept of sites. I decided to create a site for our application. Then inside the site, I am able to create folders underneath the site, I also see a document library location, inside which as well I can create folders
I am having a hard time choosing or deciding on an approach. Tried implementing the concepts on repo but not sure how to reflect the changes in UI using share.
I have folders in share shared folder. Is there any way to specify share to search for a particular file in particular folder of the shared folders?
Yes, but there is no user friendly out of the box solution (I know of).
As admin, go to http://your-host.domain.name/share/page/console/admin-console/node-browser and execute a (fts-alfresco) search like the following:
PATH:"/app:company_home/app:shared//*" AND #cm\:name:"filename.txt"
This will find all files named "filename.txt" below the shared folder.
I guess you will have to customize the search UI if you want to offer that functionality in a user friendly fashion or to non admin users.
Further details are at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search#Path_Queries
We've developed a solutions where you can search within a folder through the advanced search form: http://addons.alfresco.com/addons/alfresco-share-folder-search
It's free for download so you can look around how it's done.
In short: in 4.2.e you can send an extra param rootNode to the /slingshot/search repo webscript.
If you check the client side JavaScript in Share components/search/search.js
There is method _buildSearchParams The following params are send: site={site}&term={term}&tag={tag}&maxResults={maxResults}&sort={sort}&query={query}&repo={repo}&rootNode={rootNode}&pageSize={pageSize}&startIndex={startIndex}
So fill in the rootNode with a qnamePath or NodeRef and it will present the results of that folder.
For a possible implementation, I wrote a long post about it on the alfresco community forum .
I have around 20 websites created a single web-server, now i have made a tool which will be common for all the websites, so i have a common user-control, which i am using on .aspx file inside all the website
Now i want to keep these user-controls in a location outside the website directory so that i can access these same control to all the websites.However i cannot find a way to get the directory outside the website's root directory. I googled around and saw the option to make the directory as virtual one, so that it will be accessible to the site, but here i would have to link the folder to one website at a time, so it would be same keeping controls in separate websites, which i want to avoid for update reasons.Can anyone tell me how can i achieve this.
Hi In rough unchecked code something like:
You can access like this.
webRootPath = Server.MapPath("~")
docPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(rootPath, "..\Documents/MyDocument.xml"))
I need to attach many domains to a single instance of sf2 ... and based on the requested domain, geopip, language apply a particular view.
And I need it to be easy in the way of adding a new domain and a new "theme".
I've looked into liip, but I'm not that sure that's the best way to do it.
Any idea ?
Thanks
If your application has to manage multiple domains with distinct layout and templates for each one of them, then you've to use LiipThemeBundle
This bundle provides you the possibility to add themes. In your bundle directory it will look under Resources/themes/ or fall back to the normal Resources/views if no matching file was found.

I've a classified ads system on ASP.NET/c#/MS SQL, and I'm trying to figure out where to store the images that people upload when placing an ad. The ad itself is being stored in a SQL server database.
The images are now being stored in a subfolder of my webapp. It seems to work fine, however I only recently discovered a big problem. Everytime a user deletes an ad, the attached images are to be deleted as well including the folder they reside in. This leads to a restart of the asp.net application. I searched internet and found that restarting the web-app is actually intended behaviour when a subfolder is being deleted.
Obviously, I need to fix this. But how to do that? Where can I store images in such a way that:
I can remove these images including the folders they are stored in?
I can acces them using a URL (the images need to be shown in the
webpages)
Without getting the web-app being
restarted?
Any feedback is appreciated!

See this question Deleting a directory results in application restart
An other alternative would be to store the images in the DB instead.
Another option would be to put the images in a directory completely unrelated to the web site then serve the images through a scripted page or handler. It would make all of your image urls look like mydomaincom/serveimage.aspx?imageid=323422, but unless you're counting on the name somewhere that really shouldn't matter much. Obviously it would require a modification to the page that serves the images in the first place as well, but if sub directories of this unrelated directory are deleted IIS really shouldn't care at all.
maybe you can store the images in SQL (check at the filestream feature in this case)
if not, I suppose you have somewhere in a business facade class, a service class or wherever you want, a methode "DeleteAd".
This method will have to do two things :
-delete the sql data
-delete the file image
also, you may change the image store to another folder, outside the web app. You will probably end with writing a custom handler (myhandler.ashx?fileid=XX) to serve the files, or a custom route and control if you use MVC.
