Show properties from an association

zladuric — Tue, 31 May 2011 19:58:51 GMT

Hello, I have documents with some custom properties and custom associations.Is there a way to show some of the props from the association in the metadata fields?Specifically, I need to show who "approved" the document and when. One way to do this is to add an aspect to the document, and apply stuff

Hi,

The properties shown in the metadata fields are defined in an share config file. To extend it create a share-config-custom.xml file in tomcat/sharec/classes/alfresco/web-extension defining the properties you want to show (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms)

Additionally, you can create your custom controls for specific properties. To develop it, refer to Alfresco Form Developer Guide wiki page

Hope this helps.

Well, I know that.

But you can't actually put something like

<show-property name="assocs["myco:myCustomAssoc"][0].property["myco:myCustomProp"] />‍

there.

Because the prop isn't loaded in the first place. Custom formatter-controller would maybe be a solution - fetch the assoc and its prop, then render it. That might work. But I still don't know how would I tell share to load something there?
