here i want to change  the following code to change the footer of alfresco.

   
   private final static String ALF_URL   = "http://aboutalfresco.blogspot.com/";
   private final static String ALF_LOGO  = "/images/MySite/footer_logo.gif";
   private final static String ALF_TEXT  = "Chandu Enterprise";
   private final static String ALF_COPY  = "Certified and supported. Chandu Software Inc. © 2005-2009 All rights reserved.";

Step5: add these jar files in lib

Step6: change remaining files  as per our requirement., here i changed login.jsp, relogin.jsp, getting-started.jsp, titlebar.jsp, error.jsp, noaccess.jsp.

Step7: add the below code in module.properties.

module.id=MySite-AlfrescoNewUI

module.title=MySite UI Project

module.description=MySite Project to build an amp file

module.version=1.0

Step8: Then go to build.xml ., right click on it then click on run as ant build. you will get the amp file in dist.as shown below.

Step9:  paste this amp file in to alfresco amp folder and click on apply_amps., then restart the server you can find the changes what you made.

Access the full Alfresco repository from the Share user interface

Alfresco 3.2r introduces the ability to access the full alfresco repo from share user interface

Here few steps are there.

step1: go to to tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension
step2: rename the share-config-custom.xml.sample to share-config-custom.xml
step3: change the xml file as shown below which is marked in red color.


   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!--
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      -->
      <visible>true</visible>

      <!--
         Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
      -->
      <root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>

      <!--
         Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
         This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
      -->
      <tree>
         <evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
      </tree>
   </config>

step4: restart the server, then go to share admin dashboard you will find the screen as follows then click on repository.

step5: in the left side of the screen you can find the alfresco repository files as shown below.
