Hello,with Alfresco 2.9B on tomcat, I'm trying to do some of the basic onfigurations described in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations, but after modifying web-client-config-custom.xml and restarting alfresco, absoluty nothing happens.I've put modifications on:- ALFRESCO_HOME/tomcat/

Depending on what you've customised in that file, you might be running into the issue described at http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-786.

The upshot is that creating a web-client-config-custom.xml file in ${TOMCAT_HOME}/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ will work, but some (but not all) of the configuration blocks in that file aren't picked up correctly (they fail to override the defaults).

Cheers,
Peter

Unluckily my issue is not related to workflow. The two configurations I'd like to change are:
- adding properties (title, description) to simple search
- Changing Breadcrumb Mode
Also tried to add them directly in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-client-config.xml, without success.

For my installation, it's crucial especially the first thing (simple search). Any idea?

Thank you

This is what i put in web-client-config-custom.xml:


   <config>
      <client>
         <simple-search-additional-attributes>
            <qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description</qname>
            <qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}title</qname>
         </simple-search-additional-attributes>
      </client>
   </config>

   <config>
      <client>
         <breadcrumb-mode>location</breadcrumb-mode>
      </client>
   </config>

For now I've solved inserting this fragment


<search-max-results>100</search-max-results>
<simple-search-additional-attributes>
<qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description</qname>
<qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}title</qname>
<qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}author</qname>
</simple-search-additional-attributes>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

directly in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-client-config.xml, inside an existing <config><client> tag.
