I already create documents on a specific space, but I don't know yet how to assign categories to a document.

Thanks.
Sara.

Are you using the web-client or performing the operations in code using an API?

If you are using the web-client, then go into the Details screen for a document, and expand the Category panel. Then click Allow Categorization and finally click the edit properties icon in the top-right of the panel.

If you are using the API, then you need to apply the "cm:generalclassifiable" aspect and add category NodeRef's to the multi-value "cm:categories" property (search for this in contentModel.xml)

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm using the API.

I create a document with his attributes like this:

titledProps[0] = new NamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, "archive.txt");
titledProps[0] = new NamedValue(Constants.PROP_TITLE, "archive");
…

but I don't know how to assign a category. There are some PROP like name, title, etc. for the category?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm as troubled as sarag was last year with this same issue.

Which is the code to assign a category to a document?

Thanks.

Hi

You need an aspect that has a property of type d:category and with some specific index settings - see cm:generalclassifiable in contentModel.xml.

Then you apply this aspect to a node, and assign the noderef of the category or categories that apply to that property. Categories are a specific type. (This area of the wiki needs updating)

We expose cm:generalclassifiable in the UI. You can actually have as many classification aspects as you like.

See the category tests for more examples.
