Thanks everybody, who read my post. I found a solution myself in the article 'Alfresco Developer: Working with custom content types' by Jeff Potts.

So, now I can create my custom contents. But problem ist, when I add new content, and give it the type 'whitepaper' (like in the above mentioned example) it does not add the desired aspects by itself. What I need to do is add a content rule to the space with the desired aspects. Then it works.

Is this the way it should work?

Can anybody help on this?

Thanks a lot.

Hi!
I'm having trouble with the same thing. Using also Alfresco Community. But really don't know what files I have to edit to customize the content model, as the manual I'm using mention: "custom-model-context.xml.sample" and "customModel.xml", but cannot find these files (I can see similar ones, but none of them contains for example the tag <aspects>

Did you find solution to your problem?

thanks!
