Open Atrium and Alfresco via CMIS for Intranets

In this screencast, Jeff Potts demonstrates a quick, simple integration between Open Atrium (an open source framework for intranets and other collaborative team environments based on Drupal) and Alfresco, based on the CMIS standard.

Do you see this integration being useful in your corporate intranet? What other features would you like to see added? Let us know in the comments.

    Hi Jeff, would you be interested in setting up a Feature Server to share/distribute the Alfresco feature you created, so that others can try it out? It may also serve to get some good feedback from people curious to have a play with it.

    A killer feature when finetuned I think if this would be downloadable from a feature server.

    Mig,

    Yes, definitely. I was planning on making the feature available and that seems like a good way to do it. As you said, we need to clean up a few things first.

    I think you can fix the non active feature icon, by adding the urls of your redirected pages as part of the triggers of the context (e.g. the context that you used to create the feature).

    I’m talking tomorrow with a thesis student who might be interested in doing an elaborated Alfresco feature for Open Atrium. Let’s get in touch ;)

  26. Zach Says:

    How did you add a wiki tab there? Is that just documents renamed?

  27. SqyD Says:

    This looks very intreseting. I was just evaluating OpenAtrium for use in our company as a Sharepoint Replacement. I was checking out fileframework to add document management alfresco + openatrium is exactly what we’re looking for. I hope this gets released soon…

  28. Marcel Says:

    Woul you be willing to share how you got both the documents and the wiki feature to work? Did you do something special to OA?

    We are having a discussion about it over at the Open Atrium site: https://community.openatrium.com/issues/node/791

    Many thanks!

    this is a fantastic jobs done.we would like to encourage your firm to build a pop up survey for magento commerce to allow the store owner take views from customers and make it public at the home page.
    Keep up the good work.

  34. cliff Says:

    In your opinion, how does this compare to bitcache and fileframework?

  35. Chris Fuller Says:

    This is a question I’ve gotten a couple times and is something we’ll definitely address at Drupalcon.

    We’re actually using fileframework on CSAA and it’s a decent package of modules. Certainly enough to improve on Drupal’s historical limitations with regards to file management for WCM. However, it really serves a slightly different purpose overall than a Drupal/CMIS repository integration. Generally, a CMIS repository will provide much more robust workflow and vastly improved security over fileframework and bitcache. Both will offer basic file permissions, the ability to attach files to nodes and simple transformations (Word docs to PDFs, for example). Using a CMIS repository, however, also offers the ability to create Drupal nodes from text-based documents, store Drupal nodes as repository content, use advanced tools like JBPM for workflow design, etc.

    Basically, if you’re building a WCM system and you need a way to manage files as attachments to nodes fileframework/bitcache is a great alternative that offers far more than Drupal OOTB. If you need to integrate several enterprise systems, if you already have ECM, if you need really advanced workflow, if you need true security at the file/attachment level or if you need search across multiple back-end systems that respects permissions, CMIS is a more robust solution.

    Let me know if you feel this answers the question or if you have any additional suggestions. As I said, we’ll probably do a more specific side-by-side comparison for Drupalcon so it’s an issue I’ll be putting more thought into in the coming weeks.

    Thanks,
    Chris

  36. Probable Cause Media Says:

    So has this feature made any progress? Is it available yet? if so, how can we get it?

  37. Jeff Potts Says:

    Probable Cause Media,

    The feature is in the same state it was in at the time of the demo. What it really needs is someone who is interested in it to get it working with the latest OA release, put on the finishing touches, and make it available on a release server. If you want to do that (or if you just want to grab the files), you can snag it as-is from here:
