Applying custom template view through config

protenus — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:57:12 GMT

Using ftls to create custom views for spaces has worked great for us, but are a bit stuck in how to apply these custom views to certian spaces for ALL users using config, not clicking through the UI.Can this be done in the custom web config?

No, unfortunately not.

An alternative is to write a server side JavaScript that iterates through your spaces and makes the necessary changes.

Can i do this through JSP page? I made a custom JPS page for displaying just that custom space i made.
How can I apply template to folder through jsp page?

Ok, here's how i did it.
Made custom jsp to display my custom folder.

In Templates section in jsp page:

removed:
<aanel id="custom-wrapper-panel" rendered="#{NavigationBean.hasCustomView && NavigationBean.searchContext == null}">

added:
<aanel id="custom-wrapper-panel" rendered="#{NavigationBean.searchContext == null}">

removed:
<r:template id="template" template="/alfresco/templates/poteza-company-preview.ftl" model="#{NavigationBean.templateModel}" rendered="#{!NavigationBean.hasWebscriptView && NavigationBean.hasTemplateView}" />

added:
<r:template id="template" templatePath="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Presentation Templates/my.ftl" model="#{NavigationBean.templateModel}"/>

msroven => Thank you very much for your participation. It satisfy perfectly my needs.

gavinc => I think this functionnality (apply a template for ALL all users) is really missing. We can't let end users to parameterize there custom view through UI, it is useless for them.
