Customise web client 'Look'

dannyrichards

Hi All,

Is it possible to customise the Look of the web client?
I basically want to change the logos & colours from alfresco to our schools logo & colour. Any tips or guides on how I might go about this out there?

TIA
Danny

Hi,

I have seen something of interesting in the sample:

http://www.eyestreet.com/source/es_source_download.jsp

entering the web client there is a beautiful customization of the "My Alfresco Dashboard".

Bye,
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

Cool, but what do you mean when you say 'entering the web client…'?
Do you mean:
1- I need to download the files from the URL, install them into a working Alfresco system to view the customised web client?
2- that the http://www.eyestreet.com site is itself a customised version of Alfresco?

TIA

Installing the eyestreet sample on a fresh Alfresco installation, you'll see the "My Alfresco Dashboard" pretty customized to permit the user to publish new contents immediately after the login (i.e. whitout going to web projects).

2- that the http://www.eyestreet.com site is itself a customised version of Alfresco?

http://www.eyestreet.com is a site published after have installed the eyestreet sample on Alfresco. After you have installed the sample you'll have the http://www.eyestreet.com on localhost and you can see how it works, You'll see how the contents are published.

I could create an account for you, for testing purpose.

Hi Vincenzo,

That would be very kind of you. Yes please 🙂
So how far have you got on with, understanding how to customise Alfresco?
Is it all done in the individual files & code or an IDE?

Cheers
Danny

Hi Danny,

well, what you'll see it is all done installing the sample as written in the install page I posted. I'm studying this sample in my free time to understand how it works and be able to do an new one, possibly better then this.

Write me at v.damore@gmail.com, I'll send you an username/password.
The host where you'll connect it is an ubuntu linux with a p4 and 1.5 Gb of ram.
Alfresco is the community edition and it is almost the latest version from the svn server. The database is mysql but I have tried oracle xe too.

I had done the back up of everything (alfresco installation directory and database) so don't worry 🙂

Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

Good to hear you've backed up your alfresco system 😉
I've got alfresco running on a CentOS-5 server, but using the default HSQL. I've tried to change the database to MySQL by editting:

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties
&
/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension//custom-hibernate-dialect.properties

but kept getting a 404 error!
Someone has suggested to edit the files on a fresh system before running '/opt/alfresco/alfresch start' for the first time.

Cheers

Hi Danny,

I have written an how to on installing alfresco on linux, Take a look at this:

http://free-dev.blogspot.com/2007/09/alfresco-210-wcm-community-ubuntu.html

or look at alfresco documentation (there is a lot of stuff)

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_on_Linux

Anyway, in your case after you modified the property files, I think you need also to clean up the alf_data directory, recreate an alfresco database user and be sure to have the correct jdbc drivers in the correct directory.

Great How-To. I am not currently thinking of using Oracle as a db but I'm sure someone will find your guide a great help.

That worked, am now using MySQL 🙂 Thanks.

One of my colleagues has put me of learning Alfresco. I can understand why he has put me of, as I am not a professional developer & he is, he said that it would take me too long to learn JavaScript, Tomcat & to understand how the Alfresco engine/framework works.

So,

I started teaching myself Adobe's Flash/Flex/AIR/ActionScript a few months ago, I think I will go back to it as I find Flash very impressive (well to the user at least) as it makes websites extremly rich & interactive.

I may come back to Alfresco in the future but not just at the moment.
I hope you get on well with it & wish you all the best.

Stay in touch.
Danny

PS: Thank you VERY much for setting that user account up for me to access your Demo Aflresco system.
If I get something working using Flash/Flex I drop you a URL 😉
