Custom Type not showing in UI

jett — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:49:13 GMT

I have crated a custom type and deployed it to the Data Dictionary/Models folder in Alfresco. I have also created created a web client custom config file and added it to Web Client Extensions. I then reloaded client config via the console in : http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/webclient

I'm also experiencing this problem, and I have run into similar issues in the past (I'm unsure how to search just this forum to see if I found an answer or not, but I do not believe I did).

However, I have tested 4.2.b, and have found that my content model types show up in CMIS, but do not show up in the (alfresco) content type pulldown, while others show up in both…without any difference in logs between when successfully showing up in the alfresco content type pulldowns versus those that do not (but all show up in CMIS).

[DHARTFORD SOLVED] - mine was restarting the server. The (alfresco) content type is defined in the Data Dictionary/Web Client Extensions/web-client-config-custom.xml, but doesn't get loaded until after a restart.

I actually tried restarting mine several times but it is still not working

I just noticed that the log shows the following message when I did a dynamic deployment of the model:

11:40:22,451 WARN [org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryDAO] org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.DictionaryException: 01060019 Model '{com.meralco.mapguide}mapguideModel' does not exist

I am getting the same message in the log when I activate the model manually using the Repository Admin Console.

However, doing a "show models" in the Repo Admin Console indicates that it is loaded:

IsLoaded: Y , RepoVersion: null , RepoName: meralco-mapguide-model.xml , ModelQName: {com.meralco.mapguide}mapguideModel , Description: MapGuide Model , Author: xxxxxx , Published: null , Version: 1.0

Hi,
did you correctly register your model in Spring's model extension configuration file
<blockcode>
<!– Registration of new models –>
    <bean id="uirnet.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/module/yourModule/model/yourModel.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
</blockcode>

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

My custom models are all deployed dynamically by uploading the file to Data Dictionary/Models and marking it as Active in the file properties. I haven't attempted to do it via the non-dynamic route as I distinctly remember getting this working on Alfresco Enterprise 4.0 Trial. So far I've tested this on Community versions 4.0, 4.2b, and 4.2c with no success.

could you please post your we-client-config-custom.xml?
also have you checked the logs?

Hi,
Are you aware that web-client-config is only used in Alfresco Explorer (alfresco.war) & not in Alfresco Share (share.war)?
Cheers, Jan

Yes Jett agree with jpfi,

I am assuming that you are trying to find that thing in alfresco explorer not in share.
If you want something to be shown up in the share you need to configure it in the share-config-custom.xml file

I have created a custom folder type through xml files and I have even configured in share-config-custom.xml file.
How to check it in the alfresco share through UI directly.
Please help…

my solution was clicking the "Manage Rules" on the "Models" folder and running the rules.
