Hi Roberto,

You can use a custom template view as defined at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide

For that, the best reference can be found in your install under Company Home > Space Templates > Presentation Templates. Just checkout what's packaged by default.

Included below is a more complex example that comes with the Records Management module:

<#– Records Report - Template to apply to a records space to report on status of records –>



<style>

<#assign rma="{http://www.alfresco.org/model/record/1.0}">

                 Vital record due for next review at ${document.properties["rma:nextReviewDate"]?string("dd MMM yyyy HH:mm")}

Re: How to show custom content model fields on browse.jsp

rluberti — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:11:52 GMT

thanks , your suggestion worked!!!

here is the code that works with my model posted before:


<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">

<#list space.children as child>
      <#if child.isDocument>
    
       <tr>
          <td><b>${child.name}</b></td>

          <td><b>${child.properties["my:fifDate"]?date}</b></td>

       </tr>
     </#if>

   </#list>

</table>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also found that it can be done extending BrowseBean, it will be my next experiment…..

rluberti — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:55:18 GMT

have you created the "context file" that references the custom content file?

here is the example:

custom_model_context.xml:


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
 
<beans>

    <!– Registration of new models –>   
    <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/custom_content.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
          
</beans>
