Apply custom view to space

monitloth — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:05:46 GMT

I would like to add a custom view to a space. Getting the list of the spaces is no problem. I did not found in the ContentModel any PROP or ASPECT to add or edit custom views. I also want to activate that custom view. I mean, when going in the project, the custom view window must be automatically up

I see that templates are aspects (ContentModel.xml):


<aspect name="cm:templatable">
 <title>Templatable</title>
  <properties>
   <property name="cm:template">
    <title>Template</title>
    <type>d:noderef</type>
    <mandatory>false</mandatory>
   </property>
  </properties>
</aspect>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So I use the following code:

projectProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_TEMPLATE, presFile);‍

Where presFile is the noderef of the .ftl file. The file is found correctly. The custom view is not set.

Any ideas?

I'm adding my research on this so it is documented somehow.

In addition to setting the PROP_TEMPLATE, you should also add an aspect to the space. So the complete code would be:


      Map<QName, Serializable> map = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
      map.put(ContentModel.PROP_TEMPLATE, "workspace://SpacesStore/" + myNodeRef().getId());
      nodeService.addAspect(newFolderNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_TEMPLATABLE, map);
