Checked-out documents (originals) not visible in share

Dear listI have a repository with two main folders (active and drafts), for document control. The philosophy being that new revisions of the active documents are "checked-out" into the drafts area and when they are approved, the new version can be checked-in.My problem is that when I do this, the ac

It was a conscious design decision because our user testing discovered people were confused by the "Working Copy" label.

You can still get to the original document via the action: More / View Original Document.

Thanks,

Thanks Mike. Can I override this?

You can remove the READ_LOCK filter from filter.lib.js in the Document Library repository webscripts. You might also want to override item.lib.ftl in the same place to not remove the Working Copy label.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, but…

Only a partial success. I was able to edit "item.lib.ftl", to which I replace the instance of "" with " (draft revision)" (which visually suits my needs).

I was, however, unable to find any files featuring the (case-insensitive) phrase "READ_LOCK." filters.lib.js (under slingshot/documentlibrary) contained a READ_ONLY_LOCK, but that sounds like something I want to keep. filter.lib.js (under components/documentlibrary) contained nothing of the sort.

I searched for all files containing "READ_" ending with .js (on Windows/NTFS (not my choice), hence case insensitive). Any other hints?

Thanks again, Neil

It's the READ_ONLY_LOCK you want to remove (I was recalling it from memory).

Thanks,
Mike

I'm very impressed by your memory.

I have replaced


      var filterQueryDefaults =
         " -TYPE:\"thumbnail\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"systemfolder\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:forums\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:forum\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:topic\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:post\""; +
         " -@cm\\:lockType:READ_ONLY_LOCK";
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

with


      var filterQueryDefaults =
         " -TYPE:\"thumbnail\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"systemfolder\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:forums\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:forum\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:topic\"" +
         " -TYPE:\"fm:post\""; // +
         //" -@cm\\:lockType:READ_ONLY_LOCK";
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

in the file …./tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/filters.lib.js

This has solved the issue…. hope I don't lose some other functionality 😉
