Hi,
thanks for the link. I tried to follow the wiki page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Examples, but still nothing happens.
I have extended the content model:



<types>
      <!– Enterprise-wide generic document type –>
      <type name="rz:razitko">
         <title>Razitko AutoCAD</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <mandatory-aspects>
           <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>
  </types>

   <aspects>
      <aspect name="rz:razitkoa">
         <title>Razitko</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="rz:nazevzakazkya">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            </property>            
         </properties>
      </aspect>   
   </aspects>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Created the rule which applies this type to all documents inserted. I can see and edit this properties in "standard" alfresco environment.
As I want to see/edit it in alfresco share, I created the C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension\share-config-custom.xml file:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="rz:razitko">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="rz:nazevzakazkya"/>
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>
             <field id="rz:nazevzakazkya">
               <control template="textfield.ftl" />
             </field>
          </appearance>

         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Restarted the tomcat, but if I choose „Edit metadata“ in alfresco share, I can see only the standard page.
Where is the mistake?
Thank you.
Ales

Hello,
unfortunately not - as I had other priorities, I postponed this issue.
Nevertheless I don't have an idea where to search the mistake…

Well, @Ales

I was able to solve this issue in my setup following this forum link http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=16024.
I advice you to read through all the responses in this thread till end.

In fact, one of the last responses in this thread saved me, since that is not completely documented in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms!

These two are very helpful -

Hope this is helpful!

Thank you
