iAlfresco Part one - iPhone Navigator

 

iPhone NavigatorI 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

Or you can check out the flash.

    Many people who used iUI came to the problem when they had to display image galleries. I wrote a Jaipho - iPhone optimized image gallery. And her is the article how to integrate it with iUI http://www.jaipho.com/content/using-jaipho-iui
    Think it can be useful
