Okay,
I am a noob and i want to implement Alfresco in my organization. I have never worked on XML before and not much of a coder. I am facing the same prob as you - I have to add a drop down list to metadata. Just text in that nothing much. The same way they have MIME type. I am following the instructions in the blog, but have not been able to find "alfresco/messages/knowledgebase.properties". My messages folder is blank. can you please help me with this.

I am using version 3.4 - downloaded last month !

Eagerly waiting for reply

Hi,

That file (knowledgebase.properties) is not there you need to create it.

Hope this helps.

Thnx,
