Space specialization problem

ero — Sun, 21 May 2006 17:08:03 GMT

Hi,I'm using last 1.3 SVN dev version.I'm able to create some custom space (e.g. type "A" declared as child of the root cm:folder type) using "Space Wizard". Custom model as wel as web-config-client-custom.xml are OK.Fine.Problem is that I'm unable to achieve same result without using "Space Wizard"

I'm afraid I don't completely understand your question.

I understand you are specialising a 'normal' folder to one of your custom space types and it's not behaving as you would expect.

Which drop down list in the UI are you expecting to see your custom space type in?

Hi Gavin,

I defined some custom folder types in custom model.
I'm able to create customs spaces using "Space Wizard".
Conclusion: model as well as web-config-client-custom.xml ("Space Wizards" section) are correct. Fine.

Now, I want to do the same but from a cm:foler (using Run Action).

1. Create standard cm:folder
2. Run action >
    Select an action >
    Specialise the type of an item >
    Set value and Add > …..
    Drop down list in web UI list only document types defined in "Action   Wizard"   <specialise-types> section of my XML file.
Folder types defined in that <specialise-types> section are simply ignored.

Conclusion:
I think it's actually impossible to specialise some folder.
Missing something ?

Regards

Ahh, OK, I understand now ops:

Yes, this is also a known issue, there are actually a couple of bugs raised about this:

http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AWC-663
http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AR-602

I should be looking at these today.

The two issues above have been resolved and checked into SVN.

You can now have any sub type of content or folder in the list, but not the content or folder types themselves.
