Showing/editing additional person properties

hreintke — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 14:57:04 GMT

LS,I am fairly new to alfresco and experimenting with content models.What I want to achieve is adding new properties or aspects to the cmerson type to hold company specific data on a user.To keep the start easy, I checked the cmerson and noticed some properties that are not shown on the new/edit

I think it is a wizard and not a property view in the same manner as viewing space and document information. If my statement is correct, you must modify the jsp file(s) and the java wizard class.

That is what I expected also so I was checking the edit-users-details.jsp file

where I see the visible fields coming as (for example)

<f:verbatim/>
<hutputText value="#{msg.user_description}:"/>
<h:inputTextarea id="biography" value="#{DialogManager.bean.personDescription}" rows="6" cols="60" />

But at the end if the file there is this :

<hanelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="padding-top:8px">
<!– custom properties for cmerson type –>
<f:verbatim/>
<rropertySheetGrid id="person-props" value="#{DialogManager.bean.person}"
var="personProps" columns="1" externalConfig="true" />
</hanelGrid>

And that is why I expected it to be able to configure in web-client-config-custom.xml and not needed to edit the jsp file itself.

Question : Should I be able to "just configure", may be in another file
If not, can you explain (or link me to the documentation) what the last panelgrid is expected to do ?

Kind regards,
