Hi!I want to create a checkbox-field for each uploaded document. This Checkbox should be displayed on the properties-sheet or under the documents beneath the icons (inline-edit, download,…).Does anyone have an idea?Regardstrandz

If this is not clear for someone. Here my steps so far:

I've implemented an icon in that menu i've mentioned ("document_browse"), like that following:

<config>
   <actions>
      <!– Launch Add Aspect Dialog –>
      <action id="add_aspect">
         <label>Add Aspect</label>
         <image>/images/icons/add.gif</image>
         <action>dialog:addAspect</action>
      </action>
         
      <!– Add action to more actions menu for each space –>
      <action-group id="space_browse_menu">
         <action idref="add_aspect" />
      </action-group>
   </actions>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

-> See on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_FAQ (Adding Custom Menu Item)

But instead that Image, i need a checkbox. How can i create that checkbox there?

If you want to display the checkbox on view details screen of the content, It is pretty simpler.

Follow below steps :
1. Create your custom aspect which defines a boolean property for a checkbox.
2. Modify web-client-config-custom.xml and specify show-property as true.
3. Create a content rule on space to add your aspect whenever a new content has been uploaded to the space.
Your rule condition would be - Item is a subtype of 'Content
Your rule action would be - Add aspect 'Your custom aspect'

Whenever, a new content will be added, the mentioned aspect would be applied and will show the checkbox when you click on view details for that content.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
