This extension allows you to plan events (http://www.doodle.com like) directly from a Share dashlet (the dashlet can be added, either on a user or on a site dashboard).
Works with: Alfresco Community & Enterprise 4.2.x / 5.0.x / 5.1.x / 5.2.x
Check out the project if you have not already done so
git clone git://github.com/atolcd/alfresco-event-scheduling.git
This project uses the Alfresco Maven SDK. It will produce a platform AMP and a Share AMP.
To build AMP files, run the following command from the base project directory:
mvn install
This extension is a standard Alfresco Module, so experienced users can skip these steps and proceed as usual.
-
Stop Alfresco
-
Use the Alfresco Module Management Tool to install the modules in your Alfresco and Share WAR files:
java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar install event-scheduling-alfresco-vX.X.X.amp $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco.war -force java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar install event-scheduling-share-vX.X.X.amp $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share.war -force
-
Delete the
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/
and$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/
folders.
Caution: please ensure you do not have unsaved custom files in the webapp folders before deleting. -
Start Alfresco
You may set which site roles can create events in a site. By default it is only allowed by SiteManagers.
Configure more site roles by adding the EventScheduling section to share-config-custom.xml
(http://docs.alfresco.com/community5.0/tasks/share-customizing-custom-config-file.html)
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="EventScheduling">
<groups>
<group>SiteManager</group>
<group>SiteCollaborator</group>
<group>SiteContributor</group>
</groups>
</config>
Add the dashlet on your (site/user) dashboard.
- In a site, by default only managers can schedule events (configurable)
- From the user dashlet, only administrators and members of the "Event Planners" group (GROUP_EVENT_SCHEDULED_CREATORS) can plan an event.
The "Event Planners" group is created during the bootstrap of the module, by default, it does not contains any user. You are free to decide who will be able to create events.
Events can be:
- private : restricted to a limited number of users (groups/users picker)
- public : all users can view these events and give their availabilities
Each participant can give its availabilities from the dashlet or from a standalone page.
Notifications can be sent:
- Ability to notify participants when an event has been created (private events only)
- Ability to send a reminder to a specific participant or to all the participants (action only accessible by the creator of the event)
A list of indicators are displayed next to each event in the dashlet:
- a flag that indicates if the user has given his availabilities (yes / no / partially)
- an indicator that specifies if the event was created from a site
- an expiration indicator (if a validity date has been set)
- a flag that indicates if it's or not an archived event
A participant can:
- view event details
- give its availabilities
- check availabilities of others participants
The creator of an event can:
- edit the event (edit metadata and/or add dates or groups/users)
- send reminders to a specific participant or to all the participants
- delete event
- archive/restore event
- see event history
