Enterprise Collaboration: Alfresco Share Screencast, Part Two
In this screencast (see Part One here) Jeff Potts walks through some additional functionality in Alfresco Share, including:
- How new share “sites” (collaboration spaces or communities) get created
- How sites can be customized, including adding and removing dashlets from sites
As promised, Jeff also shows us some custom components which demonstrate the types of custom development capabilities possible in Share:
- Status Update, which allows for rolling status updates across the team using the site, á la Facebook status or microblogging, including the ability to aggregate across collaboration groups in an enterprise
- Shared Bookmarks, which enables the easy posting and sharing of bookmarks across a collaboration site.
Hopefully these two screencasts give you a good sense of what Alfresco Share offers and how teams can use it to collaborate across an enterprise.
We hope to do many more screencasts on a variety of topics – thanks Jeff for setting the bar high with these first two!

Hi, Nice video’s. Are the status update and shared bookmarks components available to install?

Great looking dashlet but when adding the My Current Activity Dashlet to my site Dashboard all dashlets to the right of My Current Activity are removed, also the update button is not available, is this a known issue?
We’re using tomcat,
Thanks!

On further inspection it looks like in general the formatting of the dashlet is off, the list of smilies appear in the main window rather than in a dropdown, and the ‘I’m working on’ is displayed in a button rather than a drop down.

Adam,
The formatting is off when there is a problem with the web script on the repository tier. Please see this blog post and comment thread for some troubleshooting tips:

If none of that helps resolve the issue, you can log a bug at http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-share-status/issues/list and we’ll take a look.
