This error will occur if the rich list can not find the view renderer with the current viewMode, in your case "images".

This means your renderer is not in the list of known renderers, have you defined your custom renderer in the config file?

Default renderers are registered in web-client-config.xml in the section:


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
   <!– the views available in the client –>
   <views>
      <view-impl>org.alfresco.web.ui.common.renderer.data.RichListRenderer$DetailsViewRenderer</view-impl>
      <view-impl>org.alfresco.web.ui.common.renderer.data.RichListRenderer$IconViewRenderer</view-impl>
      <view-impl>org.alfresco.web.ui.common.renderer.data.RichListRenderer$ListViewRenderer</view-impl>
      <view-impl>org.alfresco.web.bean.ForumsBean$TopicBubbleViewRenderer</view-impl>
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

To augment this with your renderer you will need to add the following config to the web-client-config-custom.xml file (see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Configuration_Guide😞


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
   <!– the views available in the client –>
   <views>
      <view-impl>org.alfresco.web.ui.common.renderer.data.RichListRenderer$ImagesViewRenderer</view-impl>
   </views>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Let me know if that helps.

That's great stuff! Can you post a link to any images of the view so we can see it in action?

Thanks!

Kevin

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to do the exact thing that kevinr have managed to do… with no success yet…

can you be more specific regarding the steps needed for achieving this goal - a thumbnail view of my own..

I'll be more specific:
1. where do you add this class to?:

I just added a new class in RichListrenderer

2. what was the update to this class?:

I just also updated WebClientConfigTest.java but I'm still get the error

3. I've tried to follow the steps in this topic, and now i do see my view in the views list, but i get a "MISSING:" string with the name that i gave my view, and when i choose it i get this error:
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: IRichListRenderer must be available in UIRichList!"

4. how do i configure the renderer? :?

thanks!!

Dror

I need to customize the search results as well.
Did anyone manage to get more detailed instructions on this?
