Search for content type

alarocca — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:10:19 GMT

Hello, into my custom model I defined a base content type, for instance my:doc (parent is cm:content), and some properties. Then I created few other content types having my:doc as parent (for instance, my:subdoc1, my:subdoc2, my:subdoc3, ..).Within share-config-custom.xml I created the following con

Maybe the simple solution for this is to create new property of my:doc, my:docType which is simple text and have already predefined values as constraint (subdoc1, subdoc2, subdoc3). Add this property into the share-config-custom.xml configuration. All subtypes of my:doc, my:subdoc1, my:subdoc2, my:subdoc3 need to have my:docType set to related value. To set this values for every subtypes you can write onCreate behavior where corresponding values of my:docType properties will be set(eg. for my:subdoc1 type set my:docType to "subdoc1" ). The second solution for this is to set value to this property explicitly in model (I am not sure about this).
I hope this will help you.

Thanks a lot drndivoje.

Your first suggestion works for sure. Probably it complicates a bit the content type management, since new sub-type will require to update the behaviour. Anyway it is a step on.

I will verify soon the second solution (override default value of a property directly on the schema). If feasibile, it will be great.

Have a nice weekend,
