using alfresco to copy directory under php

Question

I have a model folder

"0000"

in a directory A in

alfresco

and whenever a new user is created , I have to create a folder for him with the same folder structure as the model folder , I found through rest api, that I can do that with this :

{"alf_destination": "workspace://SpacesStore/35818681-274f-4d61-8fe7-5cff238513e5",

"prop_cm_name": "0000",

"prop_cm_title": "",

"prop_cm_description": "",

"sourceNodeRef": "workspace://SpacesStore/aeeaca0a-89bf-4294-8506-315ecd7d18f2",

"parentNodeRef": "workspace://SpacesStore/35818681-274f-4d61-8fe7-5cff238513e5" 

}

but how can I get the that spacestore

/{id}

in php ?

and I have created the dest folder via

ftp_mkdir

because I didn't understand how to do it with alfresco (I didn't know what a {container} and site's name is )
here is the path to the model :

/Alfresco/Dictionnaire de données/Modèles d'espace/0000

and here where the new folders will be created :

/Alfresco/Data/users

pardon my english and Thank you

There is the userHomesHomeFolderProvider that allows you inject Home Folder Template. You can find its definition inside this library: tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/alfresco-repository-{ver}.jar/alfresco/authentication-services-context.xml:

<bean name="userHomesHomeFolderProvider" parent="usernameHomeFolderProvider">
    <property name="rootPath">       
       <value>/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.user_homes.childname}</value>
    </property>
    <property name="storeUrl">
        <value>${spaces.store}</value>
    </property>
</bean>

You can customize this bean as follows:

Create the template folder and its content (files, sub-folders,..), for example: Repository> Data Dictionary> user_homes_templates> custom_home_root

Override the userHomesHomeFolderProvider bean definition and inject the new property templatePath pointing to the template folder. Create the file tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/user-homes-custom-context.xml with the new bean definition:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
    <bean name="userHomesHomeFolderProvider" parent="usernameHomeFolderProvider">
        <property name="rootPath">
            <value>/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.user_homes.childname}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="storeUrl">
            <value>${spaces.store}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="templatePath">
            <value>/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:user_homes_templates/cm:custom_home_root</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

Now restart Alfresco and create the new user, template content will be copied into the new user home folder (Repository> User Homes> {user-name}).

... and if you really must use PHP try Apache Chemistry CMIS PHP Client or REST API.
