Comment on Improving TIFF preview in Alfresco Share by Jordi Anguela

Thank you Fabio for this good article. It help us a lot to get rid of the Flash player in Alf3.4.

FYI we transforming most of the file types into PDFs and then use a native browser PDF viewer/plugin (like Adobe Reader) to view them. We used the JS lib PDFObject for the markup.

Kind regards,
Jordi.

Hi Fabio,

So far I haven’t had any luck. Please let me know if/when you try version 4.0.

Thanks!

Hi Will,
sorry for not having replied you soon.
Actually I’ve not yet tried version 4.0 and I guess much has changed since my last tests. So, don’t take for sure that the _resolvePreview function still exists.
But, provided that a similar logic still holds, you should look for js files that contain keywords like webpreview, shockwave-flash and so on.
Let me know if you don’t manage it.

Thanks for posting

Fabio

Hello,

I am trying to apply your fix to Alfresco 4.0a on Windows. The file locations are slightly different. I have used the following locations:

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\thirdparty\default

tiff-transform-context.xml
tiff-transform.properties

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco

tiff-transform-context.xml

I cannot locate the _resolvePreview function in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/components/preview.

Therefore, I am at a standstill. The additional files haven’t broken anything, but (obviously) since I haven’t modified _resolvePreview, the additional files do nothing.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

-Will

Hi,
thank you Tuan for your feedback, I’m glad you found my article useful.
I think replacing the default viewer should not be much complicated if you adhere to the current paradigm:
- from a backend prospective, you set up a transformation chain that generates content nodes in the format that has to be render (say swf if you’ll use Flash)
- you customize Share to use a different viewer that renders a certain type of content (say swf).
The last part is surely tougher but as I see that the tool you suggested (ww.adeptol.com) works very similar to the Alfresco viewer (it justs downloads swf resources), I’m sure it will turn out simpler than expected.
My advice is to start by studying how Share/Surf works now, it’s a boring work but it’s not hard to understand.

Let me know if you need help.
