How Drupal & Alfresco Work Together
Communication between Alfresco and Drupal are easy and seamless.
- Content created within Alfresco can be pushed to Drupal and mapped to specific node types. This is done through the upload function using html files in the Alfresco repository.
- Content created in Drupal can also be pushed and replicated within the Alfresco repository. Webscripts grab the data and create the node from a preregistered model. Along with content, metadata is replicated across the two systems.
- Communication between Alfresco and Drupal are done using a custom RESTful API using JSON.
- Data is replicated across both systems and each platform functions as intended out of the box.
- Also integration using CMIS.
