Hello,

this won't work, since you can't use "node-type" evaluator and an aspect condition together. If you use "aspect" instead of "node-type" it'll work, but keep in mind that the form configuration will apply to every node that has the aspect, even if you might not want it to for a specific type of content.

The second form with "model-type" is never going to work, as - unfortunately - advanced search does not support aspect oriented search forms at the moment. The only option you have is in configuring a "model-type" form for, say, "cmbject" and include only your aspect properties as filter criteria. Unfortunately, if the user does not enter anything in an aspect property field, you may still end up finding content without the aspect.

Axel

Hi Axel
Thanks for the reply
When I go through 4.1 documentation, I see in "Displaying aspect metadata" http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Flibrary-item-manage-aspects.html
They say that it can done
And from the docs it says that
The following example configuration shows the cm:from and cm:to properties for the cm:effectivity aspect.


<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <form>
         <field-visibility>
            <show id="cm:name" />
            <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
            <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
            <show id="mimetype" />
            <show id="cm:author" force="true" />
            <show id="size" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:creator" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:created" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:modifier" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:modified" for-mode="view" />

            <!– cm:effectivity aspect –>
            <show id="cm:from"/>
            <show id="cm:to"/>
         </field-visibility>
      </form>
   </forms>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The following example shows how to add the fields of an example aspect to all forms for the cm:content type.


 <config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <form>
         <field-visibility>
            <!– fields from my example aspect –>
            <show id="my:aspectProperty" />
            <show id="my:aspectAssociation" />
         </field-visibility>
      </form>
   </forms>
</config>

Hello,

it works when the condition to your node-type is an actual type as in the documentation. Of course that means you have to adapt each "node-type" form if you have more than just "cm:content", or you go instead with evaluator type of "aspect", but then have no way to suppress these fields in a specific "node-type" form.
