Alfresco Web Content

Hey Tmhilton,

In what way do you need that content to be displayed in Drupal ?

• If you just need one specific object from alfresco, you can use cmis_browser's get action.
  If you know alfresco's objectId, you can add in your block a call to http://your-drupal-host/cmis/get?id=[objectId]
• If you need a more dynamic way, you can use cmis_sync + views module:
  • create a new Drupal content type
  • config cmis_sync following basic config(check out README.txt) for previous created content type
  • create a block with views module that displays nodes of previous created content type.

  The downside of this approach is that Alfresco content will come up after Drupal cron has run.

For these you'll need to have cmis_repositories config var setup. See cmis's README.txt

Please let me know how this goes.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Hey Tod,

Here are some pointers:
- for Alfresco, please use: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis as endpoint url

- somePath means the folder in Alfresco that contains web content that needs to be synced with drupal nodes.
Feel free to create a folder in Alfresco, let's say /drupal-items, under root.
Put inside it your html files. Update drupal's $conf var with cmis_folderPath=> '/drupal-items'.
Next time when drupal cron runs you should find nodes created by cmis_sync.

- regarding cmis_alfresco error, can you clean your drupal's variable table ? just run in mysql> delete from variable where name='cmis_vendor' ;

Please let me know if this worked.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Hey Tod,

In order to make sure that drupal side is working propertly, can you update your configuration to hit cmis.alfresco.com demo server ?
demo cmis server configs:
'user' => 'admin',
'password' => 'admin',
'url' => 'http://cmis.alfresco.com/s/cmis'

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Hey Tod,

Regarding that folder, you need to create that folder(In Alfresco is called "space") using Alfresco's UI, or from cmis_browser's browser screen( http://localhost/drupal/cmis/browser )
See the action panel under location textfield.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Hey Tod,

I've might have gave you the wrong conf var name.
Can you please make sure that your settings.php contains $conf in place of $config ?

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Awesome!

Regarding publishing it, easiest way to do this would be the cmis_sync + views approach.
You'll need to define your workflow back in alfresco and map the publish folder to cmis_sync, which will create drupal nodes.
Once those nodes are created, you can use views module to define your block.

Please let me know if this worked for you.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Catalin,

It appears I have the same issues, but I don't seem to be able to derive the solution from the above. I had Drupal hooked up to the Joomla/Alfresco demo server over at Alfresco (including browsing and querying), but when I updated the modules, things became a whole lot less clear and stopped working altogether:

Without dealing with my own Alfresco installation and just to verify that I got the Drupal part correctly set up, it seems like a good idea to connect to the above mentioned server: cmis.alfresco.com

So, I have this as my starting point in the settings file:
// cmis repository def
$conf['cmis_repositories'] = array(
'default' => array(
'user' => 'admin',
'password' => 'admin',
'url' => 'http://cmis.alfresco.com/s/cmis'
)
);

// cmis synchronization map
$conf['cmis_sync_map'] = array(
'page' => array ( // minimal settings.
'enabled' => TRUE,
'cmis_folderPath' => '/drupal-items'
)
);

The result is: Unknown CMIS vendor: cmis_alfresco

I ran cron. Was there something to be changed in cron.php, though?

Since the above is all solely dependent on how the demo server is setup, the quickest way to check the Drupal side of things would be to post a complete correct example setting. Then, it would be just a matter to map things similarly for each Alfresco installation.

I'm a little less confident this solution will reliably work than I was three weeks ago and greatly appreciate any help.

Best Regards,

Ruedi

Hey Ruedi,

Regarding cmis_alfresco error, can you clean your drupal's variable table ? just run in mysql> delete from variable where name='cmis_vendor'

Please let me know if this worked for you.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Thank you. I ran the above command from phpAdmin. It deleted one row.

Going to the site http://www.pdma.us/?q=cmis/browser still resulted in 'Unknown CMIS vendor: cmis_alfresco'.

I then cleared the cache from the Content Management tab and now it works! Wonderful.

Now I just have to figure out my own Alfresco implementation and I'm all set.

Thanks again for the quick help.

Ruedi

Awesome.

Then I think that we can mark this issue as fixed.

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Good Moorning.
I have my own drupal and alfresco in the same server. I download the last version of cmis api and I'm trying to synchronize with Alfresco.

I add this lines to the settings.php file.

$conf['cmis_repositories'] = array(
'default' => array(
'user' => 'admin',
'password' => '123456789',
'url' => 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis'
)
);

$conf['cmis_sync_map'] = array(
'page' => array(
'enabled' => TRUE,
'cmis_folderPath' => '/Company%20Home'
),

When I go to the CMIS Repositorie I have this Message
Unable to show CMIS Repositorie

I do several tests and when I go to :

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis

I can see and authentication user & password and if I write admin as a user and 123456789 for password I download CMIS file with no problem. I attach the cmis file if you can help me.

Thanks.

It would be really nice to have some of these documented in the module or in the project page. I had some hard time figuring the endpoint URI (Alfresco n00b).

I have a similar issue .
I get blank pages when i go to CMIS information and CMIS Repository
Could you please help

Just getting started with this in Drupal 7, and I have everything connected, and can see the Alfresco repositories.

but i can't seem to get the link up working...

$conf['cmis_sync_map'] = array(

'article' => array(
'enabled' => TRUE,
'deletes' => TRUE,
'cmis_repositoryId' => 'default',
'cmis_folderPath' => '/Sites/scenarioSixWCM/documentLibrary/drupal',
'content_field' => 'body',
'full_sync_next_cron' => 'TRUE'
)

);

but i get weird error messages... and any content created in alfresco has a title but no body.

Notice: Undefined index: widget_type in _cmis_sync_drupal_node_field_value() (line 206 of C:\wamp\www\health-alliance-new\sites\all\modules\cmis\cmis_sync\cmis_sync.drupal.inc).
Notice: Undefined variable: content_type in _cmis_sync_drupal_node_field_value() (line 277 of C:\wamp\www\health-alliance-new\sites\all\modules\cmis\cmis_sync\cmis_sync.drupal.inc).
Unsupported sync drupal content field type [] for field [body]. Please review your configuration.

Any help would be greatly recieved...
thanks

yeh, i am also receiving the same errors/notices that 8W_gremlin has been receiving. the exact same message. i am trying to integrate alfresco and drupal and i have entered the same code (bar the folderpath) to settings.php. could you please assist in remedying this issue because i can also see the content title but i cannot seem to vie the actual content. in addition, i am also failing to sync content created in drupal into Alfresco, even after running CRON.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Same as RMani, blank screen with alfresco 3.4.d

Reading through the message thread, I believe the code pushes and patches in the last 3 months should have fixed these issues on the 7.x branch, please re-open this thread if you are still having issues with the CMIS API.

Good morning,

I have my own Drupal site (version 7.21) as well as Alfresco (v3.4.0) in my own server. I download the latest versions of Alfresco module (7.x-1.x-dev) and CMIS API (7.x-1.2).
In status report, all seem to be OK as I get Alfresco repository --> Alfresco mimetype=|encoding=|size=0 - v3.4.0 (3419). Moreover, in Alfresco global settings, the URL repository is http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/api and Username-Password admin.

I have made many tests as mentioned (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis) and can download CMIS file with no problem.

But I cannot connect to repository. More specifically, I want to add a field like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_HWpM47MVA) and when I'm trying to save like 1:28, I get the error "CMISException: Unable to lookup CMIS repository [default] in cmis_get_repository". The same error appears when I try to browse CMIS repository "Cmis Error, Unable to lookup CMIS repository [default]".

I did #10 in settings.php but still nothing. My Alfresco repository works fine but I cannot get the 2 systems synchronize.

Thanks,
Andreas

Latest version of this module does not seem to connect.Using Alfresco 4.x community ed on alfresco/atompub.
If anyone actually has a successful connection with a repository, please comment.
Thanks
[EDIT: I solved my issue. See https://drupal.org/node/1863274#comment-7584963]

Hi Ian,

I am using Alfresco alfresco-community-5.0.d and cmis-7.x-1.6 and cmis_views-7.x-1.1. Foloowing is my configuration in settings.php
$conf['cmis_repositories'] = array(
'default' => array(
'user' => 'admin',
'password' => 'admin',
'url' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom'
)
);

$conf['cmis_sync_map'] = array(
'page' => array(
'enabled' => TRUE,
'cmis_type' => 'my:eSakalNewsArticle',
'cmis_repositoryId' => 'default',
'cmis_folderPath' => '/Sites/demo/documentLibrary',
'content_field' => 'body'
),
);
$conf['cmis_sync_map']['page']['fields'] = array(
array('drupal' => 'title', 'cmis' => 'cmis:name', 'cmis to drupal' => TRUE),
array('drupal' => 'field_alfresco_tags','cmis' => 'my:tag' , 'cmis to drupal' => TRUE),
array('drupal' => 'field_alfresco_section', 'cmis' => 'my:section', 'cmis to drupal' => TRUE),
array('drupal' => 'field_reporter','cmis' => 'my:reporter' , 'cmis to drupal' => TRUE)
);

Sync is working however content_field is not getting fetched in node body. I tried to debug this issue and found that it's breaking on below line where it is not finding "edit-media" because it's not set in $this->_link_cache.(File: cmis_repository_wrapper.php)
$myURL = $this->getLink($objectId,"edit-media");

However when I had used Alfresco 4.2 c , it was properly getting fetched. Is that a version compatibility issue? which version is supported?

Need your help urgently.

Thanks.
