I think you need override AddContentDialog, in init you need to add :

showOtherProperties = false;‍

Dont forget to override add-content-dialog.jsp to use your custom bean

You need to create your own class which extends AddContentDialog or BaseContentWizard, it depends what you want to do…
Then in your own faces-config.xml you need to override <managed-bean-class> by your custom class in managed-bean AddContentDialog.
(take a look on faces-config-beans.xml)

Best regards.

thanks a lot for your answer…

all that things i've already done.

if i'll call (perform an action 'startMyWizard') it works…
(the wizard starts and calls the defined jsp)

now i would like to use the code from the original add-content-dialog.jsp
but as a result i'll get only garbage…

i suppose i can't use the original code and got to write own…

please correct me if i'm wrong.

best regards

It seems that there is no private method in AddContentDialog so you can extend this class and call methods from your custom class. To re-use this dialog you need to make your own dialog, i don't see other solution to do it.
