Overview of this book

This book will guide you through the steps necessary to add image, video, and audio elements into your Drupal sites. For each topic, you start with simple techniques and move on to more advanced techniques. By the time you've completed this book, you should have a firm ground from which to tackle most multimedia needs, and enough of an understanding to creatively solve more complex problems. This book will provide information for administrators and professional site developers who are required to embed multimedia into a Drupal site. The reader needs basic knowledge of Drupal operation, but no experience of how Drupal handles multimedia items is expected.

API Examples

Step-by-step examples for working with the various Alfresco APIs are provided throughout the book. But the examples are limited in scope to the specific requirement at hand. This section shows how to perform the same functional task (for example, "Create an object") using the three major APIs: Foundation, JavaScript, and Web Services.

Create a Node

These examples show how to create a new node in the repository.

Foundation

ChildAssociationRef association = 	nodeService.createNode(companyHome, 
   ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, 
   QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_PREFIX,
   name),
   ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT,
   contentProps);

JavaScript

var newNode = space.createNode(nodeName, contentType);

Web Services

// Construct CML statement to create content node            
CMLCreate createDoc = new CMLCreate("ref1", docParent, null, null, null, Constants.createQNameString(SomeCoModel.NAMESPACE_SOMECO_CONTENT_MODEL, getContentType()), contentProps);

// Construct CML Block
