This would also be very useful in search results.I have searched the modification possibili

Take a look at tomcat/jsp/browse/browse.jsp to modify the details view for the Alfresco Explorer client.

Thank you very much, got it partly to work now!

I added:

<%– customDocID for details/icons view modes  PHY MOD!–%>
<a:column id="col155" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details' || BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'icons'}">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="col155-sort" label="Doc ID" value="properties[\"sample:customDocID\"]" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col155-txt" value="#{r.properties[\"sample:customDocID\"]}">
<a:convertSize />
</h:outputText>
</a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And it lists my custom aspect (sample:customDocID) properly.

The sorting does not seem to work, where is this performed?

Are there any way to provide customizations to the jsp file, instead of hard-coding in the alfresco source tree?

Many thanks

Hi,

This is exactly what I also have to do, ie show aspect values in search results. How did you end up implementing this. Did you just update the browse.jsp or could you package it outside of the Alfresco source tree. Any advice on how to do this and what I should look out for will be greatly accepted.
