Rule for renaming docs

davidcc — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:58:55 GMT

I want to have my docs renamed when they are saved in a space. The name of the doc depends on the space where i'm saving the doc. Does anybody know how can i do this?I was looking for some information about in forums and i can't find anything, any help will be welcome.Thanks,David.

You need to hook up a behavior to addition of Node. An example of exactly what you are trying to do is in the Records Management module. Basically, when you add a new record, it automatically renames it by prepending a generated Record ID, which seems very similar to what you want.

I don't remember exactly which one does it, but follow the behaviors defined in this file to see how they did it:
SRC\modules\records-mgmt\config\alfresco\module\org.alfresco.module.RecordsManagement\context\behaviour-context.xml

This is a really good tutorial on Behaviors.

You could create a rule that execute a javascript when a document is saved in a space.
You're javascript could look like:

document.name = document.parent.name + "_" + document.name;
