dm features - help needed

dmser

Hello.

Can anyone help me with following configuration:

- uploading of pdf documents via browser and ftp client
- viewing\downloading of pdf documents with automatically generated thumbnail for each document
- full-text search via all uploaded pdf documents

Is this functionality achievable with alfresco?

I tried to search through wiki but I failed to find list of features.
Another question - is document management a part of web content management or labs version? To be more specific - what should I install to be able to implement functionality described above?

Is alrseco packaged for some linux distribution: I do not want to abuse package management system - I'd like to download set of rpm\deb packages and install them into my system via standard package manager. Even better option would be dedicated repository for redhat\ubuntu\debian with proper dependancies (use installed java and other system components instead of trying to install it's own) from which I can install and update alfresco.

Please point me to specific parts of documentation where I cna read more about it or just write a short how-to if there is no appropriate guides.

P. S. Lack of TLS support on this forum sugnificantly decrease company's credibility.

Simple answer is "yes" Alfresco will do all that using the new Share client. Did you see the feature list on the main website? http://www.alfresco.com/products/collaboration/

WCM is a separate module you can install specifically for managing multi-authored staging and deployment of web content. You don't this for the use case you described. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Overview

Linux installers are available by following the link from the Wiki homepage: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Labs

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean accessing the forums over an https connection? That sounds a little over-the-top for a community support forum, no?

Where can I see the long answer?

Doesn't look like list of features to me - more like usual blah-blah written by some undereducated guy from marketing - good enough for sales people but I'm not from that department. At least I found nothing about full-text search inside pdf and thumbnail generation for pdf over there.

How about reading the post before answering it?
"Installer" is exactly what I "do not need thank you very much" - another script re-inventing the wheel which will produce instance that will become broken after first system upgrade. I'm not doing this as a personal toy - I'm looking for system stable enough to be deployed in production thus I need package (or package repository) that I can install via default package manager. Apparently alfresco is not mature enough for this - I'm looking forward to miss something here - it would be great if I'm wrong.

No. If I can't access forum via https (hope that's easier to understand) it either company's inability to setup it (easy task even for college student) or unwillingness to do so (due to lack of resources or security policies) - in any case it doesn't bring trustworthy image for company in case.

Wow. Apparently politeness is also in recession.

From http://www.alfresco.com/products/collaboration/features/

Search on content and rich meta-data via document properties or tags
Share access to content via thumbnails

There's also a more detailed feature list two clicks from the wiki homepage: "Release Notes / Alfresco Labs 3 Final" then "Alfresco Share feature list"

I wonder if it's the product's maturity that's the real issue here.

I suspect there are rpm packages out there that other Community members have put together, but I doubt they're all going to rush and help you with them judging from the tone of your last post. I apologise that my answer had missed the exact point of your question, but we're not all experts on *nix terminology.

It's not been a problem for the other 8454 users on here.

hey dmser,
I'm a little bit shocked when I read both of your posts.
If you'd like to get some help from community or alfesco engineeers themselves then please use others terms.
The Open Source world is also based on politeness. If you doesn't want to accept this you'll never get help in any forum 😉
cheers, jan
