I built a simple yet very useful Alfresco navigator for iPhone. In nutshell, it is an iPhone-friendly web client. This navigator is backed by three webscripts ( one for DM space/doc navigation, one for WCM navigation and one for search) and leverages open source iUI package to provide looking-n-feel. The performance of the navigator is pretty good on iPhone (with its slow Edge network) since the script basically shows different branch of a single DOM tree based on where you are and when you navigate down to a new space or web project directory it will add the new nodes to the tree.

The navigator gives you following capabilities

• Navigate Spaces and Docs
• Display topics/posts attached to the docs.
• Preview Images, PDFs etc.
• Navigate Web Projects
• Preview Web Sites
• Search

To install the package on your Alfresco, simply follow following steps

• Unzip dist/iui.zip to {your tomcat directory}/webapps/alfresco/scripts
• Import dist/iphone-navigator.zip to your alfresco installation and put it under Data Dictionary/Web Scripts Extensions
• Refresh webscripts or restart Alfresco.
• Test the navigator
