web-client-config-custom.xml

I am trying to add 2 additional properties to the detail listing of documents in Alfresco. I'm new to xml but I've modified the XXModel.xml and the web-client-config-custom.xml in the extension file, but I can only see the type options when uploading content. None of the additional fields I've add

Did you configure for the custom metadata to be displayed as described here?

If you did, and it's not working, it might be helpful to post your config files.

Tina,

Your webclient.properties file is loaded as a https://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/resbundle/concept.html in Alfresco. If there are custom fields and needing an end user description to those fields, you will need to provide the description in the file for the field label to show what you want.

As for adding custom properties, you have to make sure that the custom fields are added to the property sheet. To do this, you will need to add an entry into web-client-config-custom.xml where you should have something similar to this:

If custom properties were defined in an aspect:


<config evaluator="aspect-name" condition="<[i]the aspect name[/i]>">
    <property-sheet>
        <show-property name="<[i]the aspect name[/i]>" display-label-id="<[i]the custom property name[/i]>"> 
         ….
    </property-sheet>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Or if the custom properties were defined in the <type>:


<config evaluator="node-type" condition="<[i]the type name[/i]>">
    <property-sheet>
        <show-property name="<[i]the type name[/i]>" display-label-id="<[i]the custom property name[/i]>"> 
         ….
    </property-sheet>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope that helps. –Rich
