Alfresco Share Genealogy

In February, Tribloom hosted a Lunch & Learn in Salt Lake City, UT. In a bit of free time I had a chance to visit the Family Search Center in downtown SLC. I have always been interested in learning more about my family history and this was the perfect opportunity to do a little research. I quickly found more information than I could easily manage on a piece of paper. Being an engineer, I decided that I needed a better system with which to manage my family history information. I looked around the internet and did not find any obvious free software that I could use so I decided to use Alfresco (I have since been informed of a free software called GRAMPS that does manage personal family history). It took me about a day to customize to the point where it was usable and a couple more to do some really interesting things which I will outline here.

I recently revised both the Alfresco Share Demo and Alfresco Repository Demo Eclipse projects. I added the ability to compile and package Java code to the Share project while only minor revisions were made to the Repository project.

Introducing the File System Transfer Receiver (FSTR)

Last week I had a chance to experiment with the new File System Transfer Receiver (FSTR) also known as the File Transfer Receiver (FTR) in Alfresco 4.0.0 Enterprise. This is also available in the community version. Since directions are a little spotty, I thought I would give a rundown of the process of setting it up.

Background

Alfresco's Transfer Service (wiki, docs) was introduced in version 3.3 as a means to transfer from one Alfresco repository to another Alfresco repository. Alone this isn't particularly useful to an Alfresco user as it primarily allows programmatic access to the Transfer Service, but when combined with the Replication Service (wiki, docs) it becomes very powerful. The Replication Service allows an Alfresco user to create a one time or recurring transfer of content from one repository to another. You can select which content to transfer as well as where to transfer it to. A piece that was missing previously was a transfer from an Alfresco repository to the file system.

SproutCore 1.4 to SproutCore 1.5 on Windows XP

I recently installed SproutCore 1.4.5 on Windows XP. It was quite an undertaking, see my previous post. So I did a gem install sproutcore to get the latest version (1.5 as of this writing on 5/4/2011). I thought everything would work fine but I got the error below when trying to start the SproutCore server.

This is part two of a multipart article about dynamic form population in Alfresco Share. We will build upon the first article Alfresco Share Customization - How to Populate Form Data Dynamically - Part 1: Repository Webscript and Content Model which covers the Alfresco repository customizations necessary to build the Alfresco Share customizations in this article. This project is also built upon the project used in my previous article about adding a new page to Share and giving it a look and feel that matches Alfresco share, Alfresco Share Customization - Regions, Components and Share Look and Feel.
