Renamed 'Web Projects' is no longer WCM enabled

sbzoom

I renamed "Web Projects" to "Web Projects - Clients" thinking that I could split our web projects into two folders so they would be easier to find. Well, now the "Web Projects - Clients" folder is no longer a "web" enabled space. Its just a regular space. I renamed it back to "Web Projects" to no avail. It is still just a regular space.

What can I do here? Do I have to wipe my database and my alf_data and start over? Or are there attributes somewhere that I can change to make a space a web space? I would like to have a few spaces that are WCM enabled. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help.

The Web Project space cannot be copied ala a normal space. The Web Project space is a special mount point for the AVM, which is an advanced repository used to provided versioning and staging for web apps / sites.

I think what you'd like is the ability to categorize web projects and limit views of those categories to partition access to different groups of users. This is a target enhancement post our upcoming 2.1.0 release.

Martin:

We are looking into permissions, with the goal of limiting views of web projects and individuals files and folders based on permissions. We cannot commit to a releases timetable on this, but we do recognize as a high priority fix.

For the previously noted enhancement (categorization), this was noted in the above post as a post-2.1 enhancement item. The current wiki roadmap page is referencing 2.1 enhancements only, and thus it does not show up on this list.

As further information is available on improved permissions support in the web client, updates will be posted to the wiki.

What happens if the "Web Projects" folder is accidentally deleted? I tried un-archiving the Alfresco community server 2.0 and Alfresco community WCM 2.0 archives back over my existing installation in the hopes that it would run the bootstrap again and create the folder / mount point for me but no luck.

I can't find anything about this in the forums anywhere, either.

There may be an issue with this bootstrapping if your database already has existing sites. I recommend filing a bug with our support team and we will look into this.

I do have an existing site. Is there any way to 'un-bootstrap' the site? To basically completely remove the WCM add-on in order to add it again and run through the bootstrap process again?

So has anyone figured out how to restore a renamed or deleted (and trash-emptied) web projects folder? I can re-create it, but it is no longer that mount point, so I can't create web projects. I heard that I could change this in the DB - can anyone tell me how to do that - or how to undo the WCM so I can re-do it again. We have no web projects or WCM content installed now.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

So I figured this out on my own.

If you have deleted either "Web Forms" or "Web Projects" from your space, (and emptied your trash as I did - otherwise you can restore from there) - you need to re-run the bootstrap for WCM. So, if you've deleted and flushed one - do the same for the other (if you have content underneath them, move it elsewhere). I say this because I don't know if re-running the bootstrap needs them both to be gone permanently. (maybe)

So…. go into mysql, 'use' the alfresco database, and once you're pointing there, the table you want is: alf_applied_patch

This table keeps track of what patches have been run. If you do a "select * from alf_applied_patch;" you will see everything - including the WCM patch that creates the two folders. So… do this:

delete from alf_applied_patch where id = 'patch.wcmFolders';

This will remove the record that WCM's Web Projects and Web Form folders were created. Restart alfresco, and (assuming the bootstrap xml file is still where it was when you installed WCM) you will see in your log file you'll get confirmation that the folders have been re-created!
