Content from Deki Wiki to Alfresco WCM

rhowlett

I would like to use content maintained on a Deki Wiki site to be used as input for an Alfresco WCM workflow. Deki Wiki supports a REST-style interface. Has anyone done this or have any idea about implementing it? I am at the early stages and am looking for input.

Note: The last time I used Alfresco was about a year ago, so I need to get up to speed. For instance when I was using Alfresco the integration with MediaWiki was not implemented.

Not knowing much about Deki Wiki capabilities, I am going to assume you want the two to be separate from each other, unlike our MediaWiki integration, where saving files thorugh mediawiki stores it back to Alfresco repository.

I would suggest writing a web script that can accept the wiki page, store the page inside AVM, and kick off a workflow as a possible direction.

Are you looking to manage files in Deki-Wiki and then put them into Alfresco WCM?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am looking at developing the content in Deki Wiki and then propagating that content to Alfresco WCM.

Background
The integration revolves around having specific Deki Wiki pages act as a content servers for an Alfresco WCM application. From what I was reading, WCM can get its content through having users enter it into forms or by importing an existing website. This is about more about granular, component content coming from another application - where both applications (Deki Wiki and Alfresco) support REST-style interfaces.

Scenario
Several writers collaborate on a product description using Deki Wiki. The product description needs to appear both in a brochure (pdf output) as well as on the company website. The content of the company website is managed using Alfresco WCM.

Design
The Deki Wiki application is setup with an Output folder. Within the output folder are wiki pages organized in several hierarchies. Each hierarchy is used to assemble content for a deliverable (i.e. the pdf brochure or the web site). For pdf output the xhtml is transformed into a pdf file using Prince. For web output Alfresco WCM somehow subscribes to the appropriate Deki Wiki page to update a specific part for the web site.
