Alfresco Zimlet (Beta)

1) Logon your zimbra server and undeploy the zimlet

2) Create a folder called _dev under

/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/service/zimlet/

then create org_alfresco_zimbra under the _dev folder

and then unzip the zimlet zip file to that org_alfresco_zimbra folder

Once you unzip the files, run following commands

chown zimbra /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/service/zimlet/_dev/org_alfresco_zimbra
chown zimbra /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/service/zimlet/_dev/org_alfresco_zimbra/*

The above approach actually deployes the zimlets as dev mode so no restart is needed.

I have test it and it works. So I will test tomorrow if I am able to deployv plugin and to check what is in this directories. Then I will post here the result.

I met some problem connecting zimbra to alfresco, but I will check my alfresco installation first and in case of problems will ask you again.

I had reinstalled Alfresco. I had installed the .zip file as descibed in attached .pdf file. Then I restarted tomcat, where alfresco is deployed, but still have no connection between them.
I have checked for incomming connections on the alfresco server (with tcpdump) but it seems nothings comming from zimbra server.
Do you have any idea?

Hi yqu,

do you have any idea about what is going on with the plugin?

I have found that the typo specified in the second reply make the plugin menus working correctly, when they are installed as zimlet (not as _dev zimlet). But when I put the settings I am not able to connect to alfresco server. I issued tcpdump, but it seems there is no connection initiated from zimbra to alfresco.
Any ideas?

After some investigations, in my opinion there is a problem with "login()" function in "org_alfresco_zimbra.js"

Hm ... another suggestion. In jetty logs I found:
--- cut ---
192.168.1.101 - - [15/Oct/2008:23:09:49 +0200] "GET /service/proxy?target=http%3A%2F%2Falfresco.example.net %3A8080%2Falfresco%2Fservice%2Fapi%2Flogin%3Fu%3Du sername%26pw%3Dpassword HTTP/1.1" 403 1390 "http://zimbra.example.net/zimbra/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008092318 Fedora/3.0.2-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.2"
--- cut ---

Here should be a the tricky point!

And ... finaly I get it working ... almost.
How I did it?
First I made the change in the "org_alfresco_zimbra.js" file. I changed the line 453 from:
--- cut ---
for each (var mimeType in AlfMimeTable.list ) {
--- cut ---
to next:
--- cut ---
for (var mimeType in AlfMimeTable.list ) {
--- cut ---

Then I run as zimbra user next command:
zmprov mc default zimbraProxyAllowedDomains "*"

And it gets work.

Here are some problems with attachements:
When I am trying to attach file which name contains white space or which name contains UTF-8 characters, the file fail to attach.

For this problem I would ask the plugin developer to help to solve this issue!

I am feeling not so stoopid :-).
I found solution for the problem with attachement with names in UTF and with white-space. Here is a short description:

On line 331 add:
--- cut --
document.ssrc = "http://"+this.getAlfUrl()+nodes[i].data.shortlink+"?ticket="+this.getTicket();
--- cut ---

On line 399 add:
--- cut ---
var src = doc.ssrc;
--- cut ---

On line 406 change from:
--- cut ---
AjxStringUtil.urlComponentEncode (src) +
--- cut ---
на
--- cut ---
AjxStringUtil.urlComponentEncode (ssrc) +
--- cut ---

And it should work!

Brilliant solution!!!
Finally with your changes I can connect this zimlet with my alfresco server but unfortunately I have still some problems.

At this stage I'm able to see the server details with the "About " button, I'm able to click on "Save to alfresco" and scroll the list of my folders and when I try to add a file into a new message I'm able to see all my documents inside my alfresco folders.
But then when I choose a folder where save the attachment I get the error message "Upload to Alfresco failed", the same when I choose a file to add into a new message, I receive the message "Please wait while your documents are being attached" but the process never arrive at the end.

I'm using Zimbra 5.0.10 with Alfresco 3 Labs edition.

Do you have the same problem? If yes, do you know how can I fix it?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Paolo
