Is possible to add new initial-location for alfresco

mohammed_amr

Dears,

I need to change the initial-location for alfresco, but notice that i don't need to use myaflresco, companyhome, guesthome or etc.

But what i want to do is to implement a new JSP page and then refer to it as initial-location.

Is that possible and if yes can anyone help.

Sorry, i notice that within web-client-config.xml file there is a sentence like

<!– This value should be one of 'myalfresco', 'userhome', 'companyhome' or 'guesthome' –>

and i can override the value of initial-location using web-client-config-custom.xml by doing the folowing

<config>
<client>
<initial-location>companyhome</initial-location>
</client>
</config>

but the previous is not my request, simply i need to a code like this

<config>
<client>
<initial-location>/jsp/initial.jsp</initial-location> <!– As Example –>
</client>
</config>

Is Possible to point a jsp as an initial-location ? and how ?

Thanks,
Mohammed Amr.

I see topics and JIRAs on configuring the "start location", which is what I think you are asking for.

Its a user preference.

mohammed_amr

exactly, how can i add new start location ? i override the UserPreferencesBean to expose a four of select menus in a user profile

- My Alfresco
- Guest Home
- User Home
- Company Home
- Correspondence System (new).

i create a new user and assigned to him a new start location (Correspondence System),
when i log to the system using this user the outcome is success but there is no new location displayed ?

But rather than an exception has been displayed the following lines describe info related to the exception

[size=100]
javax.faces.FacesException: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Cannot get value for expression '/images/icons/#{NavigationBean.nodeProperties.icon}.gif'

[/size]

after that, i create a new node (new space) on the alfresco with the same name as exist in the UserPreferencesBean but without any progress.

and notice that i read an JIRA related to that but what i'm talking about is not a bug as far as i'm talking about configuration.

I'm fighting but i need a help.

I think you will also need to change NavigationBean.java to cope with your new location.

You would need to add extra cases for your new value and call setCurrentNodeId();

mohammed_amr

excellent, it's easy to add a new case but actually how can i obtain the "node Id" (node itself) such

getCompanyHome() which is return a node represents the companyHomoe node, also :? there is another Application class calling a user class to "getCompanyRootId" !!

,

Also i have to ask, Is MyAlfresco, GuestHome, CompanyHome, … etc, normal node ? or we have a system node must be created from other location ?

and based on our question ? i create a node from alfresco but there is a restriction to create new node (space). we talk about location of the new node cause

i cannot create a new node on the same layer to the myalfresco, guesthome and etc.

really, i'm confused and there is no clear way in my mind.

if you need my steps i can write them here if you want that.

Thanks.

Thank for your support.

Really i'm very close from solving the problem, and simply my steps as folloiwng:

- Overrride NavigationBean
- Override faces-config and make a BrowseBean point to My New version of NavigationBean.

Thanks
