How to publish documents

lalli

Hi,

I have published a document using Alfresco Webclient as said in Alfresco Tutorial PDF.

Now what is the location where the document is published ?

Also can I publish the directories and files onto my local filesystem so that its available for my application ? If yes, pl give me the steps.

Regards,
Lalli.

Publish is a very vague word, especially considering there is an Alfresco add-in that will publish entire document sets to another server.

@lalli:
If you log in to Alfresco, and click on the details of the document, at the top of the details should be two links - View in Browser and Download Content. One of them serves the file up so you can see it in the browser (if you have the right plugins), the other forces the save/open in application response from your browser.

As for where the content actually is - it's in the alf_data directory as defined in your Alfresco configuration. However, it won't have the same name as what you uploaded it as - it'll have a globally unique name that Alfresco knows about, and has linked to the name you supplied when you uploaded the document.

If your application is webdav compliant, or understands CIFS (ie, Windows network drives), you can either access the document via webdav or a network drive.

@mdcl:
I think you're looking for the WCM module for Alfresco (Web Content Management). It implements an RMI service on the remote server, and allows you to push documents to that server. I went the dirty hack route, and have some perl that maps Alfresco Spaces to remote server + path tuples; it grabs all docs in the space via WebDAV and then pushes the downloaded documents to the appropriate remote server via rsync.

hi cricalix,

I have installed attached the WCM to the Alfresco properly and it works fine at the moment. The situation, I uploaded a pdf file to the Alfresco successfully, and pass through the workflow successfully. Now I need to publish the pdf to a file store. I can't find any button or link for publishing unfortunately.

Publishing website is also facing the same problem. I don't know how to deploy the web project to the web server, e.g. I want to publish the web project to the JBOSS itself(same machine). Please help.

Thanks
Benson

You need to configure the deployment server

mdcl

thanks vijay.

I can configure the so-called deployment receiver. It looks like deployment receiver is only for the web site publishing, right? Please correct me if I am wrong. If I just want to publish a pdf or jpg file, how I can do that?

thank you very much.

There is no Publish option within Alfresco CMS to publish to outside of CMS,
you can export the files (pdf…) within the spaces only, but you can do this using FTP, you can write a Script or check if there is already an existing one on Forge net.

The other option would be to move the files through actions to WCM and later you can do a publish from there.

Thanks,
Vijay
