topic checkout cm:folder - bug? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/checkout-cm-folder-bug/m-p/267951#M221081 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have a custom content model, one type of which extends cm:folder.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now, when I checkout the object of said type, and then check it back in again (all of which BTW are done via the javascript API), all the parent/child relationships are lost </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>until I do a bodge, which I'll explain in a minute.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Let me explain:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Root</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; Folder1</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; &gt;&nbsp; Folder2</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; &gt;&nbsp; Folder3</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I checkout Folder1 - and then check it back in again (or cancel the checkout), Folder2 and Folder3 are viewable in the nodebrowser as children, but not available via search. So a search for cm:name: "Folder 2" produces no results - and PATH:…./cm:Root//* only returns one result (Folder1).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now, if I MOVE folder2 to it's parent folder, ie:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Root</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; Folder1</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; &gt; Folder3</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> &gt; Folder2</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>and then move folder 2 back again to where it was before, suddenly everything springs back into life?!?!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is this a bug - it looks like it. I'm aware that I guess folders shouldn't be checked out - but it would be good if there was a way to resolve this without me having to modify the tree temporarily, which is pretty bodge-like!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:58:44 GMT tgmweb 2012-02-26T16:58:44Z checkout cm:folder - bug? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/checkout-cm-folder-bug/m-p/267951#M221081 I have a custom content model, one type of which extends cm:folder.Now, when I checkout the object of said type, and then check it back in again (all of which BTW are done via the javascript API), all the parent/child relationships are lost until I do a bodge, which I'll explain in a minute.Let me e Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:58:44 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/checkout-cm-folder-bug/m-p/267951#M221081 tgmweb 2012-02-26T16:58:44Z Re: checkout cm:folder - bug? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/checkout-cm-folder-bug/m-p/267952#M221082 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Invoking a checkout on a type that extends cm:folder it seems wrong to me.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I never tried a similar configuration, but I think that you don't need to do this.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>A checkout, in my opinion, could have sense only when invoked on a type that extends cm:content, I think that this is the correct scenario.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope this helps.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 07:48:56 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/checkout-cm-folder-bug/m-p/267952#M221082 openpj 2012-03-08T07:48:56Z
