Hi,I am using Alfresco 3.2r with Tomcat 6.0 & JDK 1.6. I want to show a drop down for all the categories which are available in Alfresco at the time of uploading the content.For this, i am following this Alfresco bloghttp://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/jbarmash/2008/08/08/dynamic-data-driven-drop-downs

Ok, so you have made a custom type with a property that has this constraint set in your custom-model.xml? Do you as well have a property sheet configured in your web-client-custom.xml where you have made this property visible using the <show-property> tag?

Please post your configuration files, otherwise it will be impossible for us to provide help.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your reply.

Below is my web-client-config-custom.xml entry:

<config evaluator="aspect-name" condition="cm:generalclassifiable">

   <property-sheet>
      <show-property name="cm:categories"></show-property>
   </property-sheet>
</config>

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="km:knowledgedoc">
      <property-sheet>
          <show-property name="km:coauthor" display-label="Co-Author"/>
          </property-sheet>


   </config>

Also below is entry for faces-config-repo.xml

<component>
      <component-type>org.alfresco.faces.PropertySheet</component-type>
      <component-class>com.xxxxxx.alfresco.km.web.RefreshableUIPropertySheet</component-class>
   </component>

Below is entries for custom beans in faces-config-beans.xml:

<managed-bean>
   <description>
      Bean that generates a custom generator component
   </description>
   <managed-bean-name>CustomListComponentGeneratorWithRefresh</managed-bean-name>
   <managed-bean-class>com.xxxxxx.alfresco.km.web.CustomListComponentGenerator</managed-bean-class>
   <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
   <managed-property>
      <property-name>autoRefresh</property-name>
      <value>true</value>
   </managed-property>
     <managed-property>
         <property-name>communityConstraintsMap</property-name>
         <value>#{CommunitySearchConstraintMap}</value>
      </managed-property>
</managed-bean>

<managed-bean>
   <description>
      Bean that generates a custom generator component
   </description>
   <managed-bean-name>CustomDependentListComponentGenerator</managed-bean-name>
   <managed-bean-class>com.xxxxx.alfresco.km.web.CustomListComponentGenerator</managed-bean-class>
   <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
   <managed-property>
      <property-name>autoRefresh</property-name>
      <value>false</value>
   </managed-property>
     <managed-property>
         <property-name>communityConstraintsMap</property-name>
         <value>#{CommunitySearchConstraintMap}</value>
      </managed-property>
</managed-bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Finally,here is my custom model:

Hi again,

Have you hardcoded your query in your search constraint classes? In the examples from the blog you specify the query with a parameter and value, and in your code there are no query parameter at all.

Example from the blog post:


<constraint name=”my:customConstraint” type=”org.alfresco.sample.constraints.LuceneSearchBasedListConstraint” >
<parameter name=”query”>
<value> TYPE:”{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content”
</value>
</parameter>
</constraint>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You have to do <show-property> for the types using your constraints to have the listbox to show up. For example the property km:subcommunity have the constraint km:subcommunityList which uses your dynamic constraint, without having a show-property directive in your web-client-config-custom.xml.
