Alfresco Custom Content Model Tutorial
June 9th, 2007
I’m heading off to the UK for business, I don’t know how much I’ll be able to blog, but before I left, I wanted to share this little gem from Jeff Potts:
I’ve written a new article (with sample files) that talks about how to extend Alfresco
with your own content model and how to work with content that leverages
that model via the Web Services API. All of the examples are written in
Java but I do include one in PHP just for grins.Most of the code is based on the Alfresco SDK Web Services sample
code, but I’ve tweaked it here and there and I break it down into
smaller chunks with commentary. I also think it is good to have one
example to follow that takes you from designing the content model to
implementing it to writing code that might leverage it.
As an exercise to readers, I’d like to suggest that after going through the tutorial and the Web Services API, to try out the upcoming Web Scripting capabilities of Alfresco 2.1(dev). You’ll need to download and compile the source code then deploy and write some scripts, but I think you’ll be amazed at what you can do. I’ll be writing more about web scripts in the near future.
Many thanks to Jeff, especially for licensing it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
