Hi Ranj,

If I'm not mistaken, you can't change the type of an Alfresco node. You can only specialize a type. So if your node's type is ws:article, you must define a custom content type which parent is ws:article.

Take a look at your model definition, mabe you have something like:


<type name="my:whatever">
            <title>Whatever</title>
            <parent>cm:content</parent>

            […]
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You should define a custom type with <parent>ws:article</parent>

If you just want to add some custom metadata, you can consider using Aspects.

Cheers,
Jordi

Hi Jordiv,
Thanks for the reply.
Now i am able to change type for contents inside wcmqs root. The change type lists down the custom types having ws:article as parent.
and also we need to add something like this in share-config-custom.xml.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
   <createContent>
      <content mimetype="text/plain" icon="plain-text" label="menu.create-content.text" itemid="ws:article"/>
      <content mimetype="text/html" icon="html" label="menu.create-content.html" itemid="ws:article"/>
      <content mimetype="text/xml" icon="xml" label="menu.create-content.xml" itemid="ws:article"/>
      <content id="ws" mimetype="text/xml" icon="xml" label="ws" itemid="ws:employ"/>
      <content id="my" mimetype="text/xml" icon="xml" label="ws" itemid="my:sop"/>
    </createContent>
   <types>
         <type name="cm:content">
                <subtype name="ws:employ" />
         </type>
           <type name="ws:article">
           <subtype name="my:sop" />
         </type>          
    </types>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
