How to store and share snapshots of website with other users

mbe

Is there a way to use Alfresco for the following:

store snapshots of webpages locally and make them available in the document library for other users
(When storing a webpage, at least the most important "bibliographic" information like original URL, data of snapshot should be saved)

Sorry that almost a year has gone by with no response here.

Alfresco does not have any sort of "web clipping" functionality out-of-the-box as you describe it. About as close as you could get would be to PDF the web page you are looking at (or screenshot it, but a PDF would be better) the upload that to the Document Library.

Hi Jeff,

thanks for taking the time to answer.
Sure, the PDF solution also came to my mind, but I think there is a lot of loss in converting the webpage to a PDF. E. g. will embedded hyperlinks still work, etc.

I could have mentioned it in my question. In fact, there is a solution in a free software which exactly does that: saving snapshots of a webpage.
It's Zotero (see https://www.zotero.org/ ).

I think that integrating Zotero snapshots into an Alfresco library could be highly beneficial (at leat for those who use Zotero).

Kind regards

Hi there,

I arrived here while evaluating different reference managers such as Zotero, and I'm wondering whether the information in this thread is still current or if there are some new ways to use Alfresco as the backend for storing snapshots or web clipping, and maybe even managing citations and bibliographies?

Cheers!
