The CMIS API project aims to provide a generic API for integrating with CMIS compliant Enterprise CMS (ECM) systems.
When to use this module:
- If your needs for managing structured and unstructured content go beyond Drupal's current file handling capabilities.
- If you need advanced workflow or security for managed documents that need to be exposed to the web or an intranet.
- If you already have a CMIS compliant document management system in place and need a way for web content managers to easily be able to add documents to sites Resources.
What this project does:
The CMIS API is composed of several modules and primarily provides an API for connecting to CMIS compliant systems to bi-directionally synchronize content between the CMIS ECM system and Drupal.
In addition to the API, this package provides a range of basic functionality for creating, updating, browsing and searching content in the CMIS ECM system via the Drupal interface.
The overall goal of the modules is to provide an easy-to-use, WCM front-end in Drupal for ECM systems that are often unfamiliar to web content managers.
While this module does provide interfaces and functionality out of the box, most developers doing advanced integrations will want to create custom modules that invoke the included API for custom authentication, synchronization, content type extension, etc.
What is included: (Drupal 7.x-2.x)
- cmis - CMIS client api
- cmis_common - CMIS common client library implementation (library loader from 7.x-2.x)
- cmis_browser - CMIS repository browser
- cmis_query - Provides the ability to run CMIS 1.0 queries against the current CMIS repository.
- cmis_sync - Allows synchronization between Drupal nodes and CMIS objects.
- cmis_headerswing - Demo module that demonstrates using hook_cmis_service() to access the CMIS repository via header-based authentication such as Basic Auth or NTLM.
- cmis_dev - Demo module that displays current CMIS repository's properties. Useful for basic connection testing.
What is included: (Drupal 8.x-2.x)
- CMIS:
- A connection config entity to be able to connect as many CMIS compliant system as you want.
- A browser to interact with the remote documents: folder creation, deletion, document upload, document deletion.
- A query page to directly make query against the remote system (cmis/query).
- A new field type to get links to remote document.
- CMIS Alfresco Auth User:
- Allow users to use CMIS features by connecting to Alfresco using Drupal's login/password.
- When the Alfresco's connection ticket will expire, the user will be logged out.
Requirements
Drupal 7.x-2.x:
The 7.x-2.x branch no longer has the PHP CMIS Library included in the distribution, it's loaded using the Libraries API module, please download from Apache Chemistry
Drupal 8.x-2.x:
The module requires the https://github.com/dkd/php-cmis-client library. And therefore you need to use Composer to download the module.
Otherwise, this module has no requirement except Drupal core.
Configuration
Drupal 8.x-2.x:
- Enable the CMIS module on your site
- Go to the configuration page (/admin/config/cmis/connection/cmis_connection_entity)
- Configure a connection
- Save the connection
- Use the browse link on the configuration page
