Javascript API based customizations for improving your Alfresco experience
1 like384 views
This document discusses various ways to customize Alfresco using JavaScript APIs. It provides examples of extensions that improve default functionality, including adding document status tracking, public URL expiration dates, custom search filters, and a URL shortener. The examples are intended to demonstrate how to modify content models, forms, actions, behaviors, jobs, indicators, and templates using JavaScript. Links to the open-source code repositories are provided so others can build on these examples to extend Alfresco capabilities.
