Change content's properties shown when browsing spaces?

zinformatica — Thu, 27 May 2010 13:13:16 GMT

Hello thereI'd like to know, whether it is posible or not to change the displayed properties for contents shown when you are browsing through spaces in Alfresco, and if it is possible, where should i change that?I've been looking through the jsp files and the web client xml files, with no luckThanks

If your looking to modify the default properties displayed for the content, you can take a hack on browse.jsp.

Can you say first what do you want to change?
Then we will give you solution or pointers how to do that.

When I browse for content in Alfresco web interface, i want to see just below the icon of each file stored in alfresco, the following properties asociated with that content:
Content's title
Content's author(s)
And show our own defined modification date instead of Alfresco Content model's modification date

Thanks!

well you just change jsp/browse.jsp

find column and put

r.title
r.author
r.customdate

r.customDate

won't probably work as easily, as there are no propertyResolvers defined for this property.
To display custom metadata, either you user r.properties["my:customprop"], either you fork BrowseBean.java to define and add new propertyResolvers to the content items displayed.
Hope this helps

Well, you override BrowseBean and add property resolover.


addPropertyResolver("createdsort", resolverCreated);

public NodePropertyResolver resolverCreated = new NodePropertyResolver() {
   @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
   public Object get(Node node) {
    
   return node.getProperties().get("created");
    

   }

    };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I did not know that does not work like that. hire is solution.
and you can use other one with properties part.

also for date use :
<a:convertXMLDate type="both" pattern="#{msg.date_time_pattern}" />

Sorry for my ignorance, but still don´t get it, there are various "columns" lite these in browse.jsp:


<%– Primary column for icons view mode –%>
<a:column id="col11" primary="true" style="padding:2px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'icons'}">
<f:facet name="large-icon">
<a:actionLink id="col11-act1" value="#{r.name}" href="#{r.url}" target="new" image="#{r.fileType32}" showLink="false" styleClass="inlineAction" />
</f:facet>
<a:actionLink id="col11-act2" value="#{r.name}" href="#{r.url}" target="new" styleClass="header" />
<r:lockIcon id="col11-lock" value="#{r.nodeRef}" align="absmiddle" />
<h:outputLabel id="col11-lang" value="#{r.lang}" styleClass="langCode" rendered="#{r.lang != null}"/>
<r:nodeInfo id="col11-info" value="#{r.id}">
<h:graphicImage id="col11-img" url="/images/icons/popup.gif" styleClass="popupImage" width="16" height="16" />
</r:nodeInfo>
</a:column>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

what should I edit?
thanks

Well that code is:

<%– Primary column for icons view mode –%>
<a:column id="col11" primary="true" style="padding:2px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'icons'}">
//render column if view mode is icons
<f:facet name="large-icon">
//facet large icon , this is icon on the left .
<a:actionLink id="col11-act1" value="#{r.name}" href="#{r.url}" target="new" image="#{r.fileType32}" showLink="false" styleClass="inlineAction" />
//as you see you only see image not link, becaues of show link false
</f:facet>
<a:actionLink id="col11-act2" value="#{r.name}" href="#{r.url}" target="new" styleClass="header" />
//this is where name is shown
<r:lockIcon id="col11-lock" value="#{r.nodeRef}" align="absmiddle" />
//lock icon
<h:outputLabel id="col11-lang" value="#{r.lang}" styleClass="langCode" rendered="#{r.lang != null}"/>
<r:nodeInfo id="col11-info" value="#{r.id}">
<h:graphicImage id="col11-img" url="/images/icons/popup.gif" styleClass="popupImage" width="16" height="16" />
</r:nodeInfo>
//this is info

after I have explained you all parts of primary column let me tell you what you have to do:
you have to find column in witch created date is shown , copy paste it, change the id's and shange value part in that column using 2 ways , one with overriding Browse bean and other with properties part.
This way you would add columnt.

find the code that looks like this:

                                                 <a:column id="col6" style="text-align:left" //YOU CHANGE ID'S, BECAUSE JSF ERRORS
                        rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details'}">//ALSO PAY ATENCION ON RENDERED PART OF COLUMN
                        <f:facet name="header">
                           <a:sortLink id="col6-sort" label="#{msg.created}"
                              value="createdsort" styleClass="header" />
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText id="col6-txt" value="#{r.created}">YOU CHANGE THIS PART, VALUE PART TO SHOW YOUR CUSTOM PROPERTIE
                           <a:convertXMLDate type="both" //THIS IS USED TO CONVERT DATE TO NICE DATE TIME FORMAT
                              pattern="#{msg.date_time_pattern}" />//DATE_TIME_PATTERN IS USED FROM MESSAGES FOR CURRENT LANGUAGE.
                        </h:outputText>
                     </a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

i hope that you will be able to manage your problem.
