Site Tags Dashlet
Site Tags Dashlet
This site dashlet for Alfresco Share provides a classic ‘tag cloud’ visualisation for all tags defined within a site.
Originally written to provide an example of how to extend the out-of-the-box set of dashlets for the Alfresco Meetups in October/November 2009, the dashlet uses client-side JavaScript to load a list of tags from the existing repository tagging API. A filter allows the user to select the tag scope used by choosing between all tags or only tags within a specific site component – such as the Document Library or Wiki.
How to Install
From Alfresco 3.3 onwards, the dashlet can be installed by dropping the JAR file into your shared libraries file – usually ‘tomcat/shared/lib’ in the Alfresco Tomcat bundles.
In older versions of Alfresco, a ZIP file is provided which can be extracted directly into the ‘tomcat’ folder.
Once you’ve deployed the package in this way you will need to restart Tomcat (or at a minimum the Share webapp) to ensure the new scripts get picked up.
