Hello,

the <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/share-customize.html">Alfresco documentation</a> is pretty good on this part. And Jeff Potts has a widely praised <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article-2ed.pdf">guide</a> on <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com">his page</a>.

If you have any concrete issues with steps outlined in the documentation, the guide or the wiki, please keep in mind that in order to help, we need substantial information on the problem: what exactly did you try to do, what does your code look like, what - if any - is the error displayed in Alfresco logs or Tomcat console…

Regards
Axel

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I have created custom content type mm:doc having 4 text types. I want to create a new custom form in share by that I will enter data in alfresco of my custom content types. I want content to be stored in xml format. Could you please help me by step by step guide, how can I do it . Following I tried.

1> I added following in share-config-custom.xml after doing the configuration for creating custom content type in alfresco. The content type addition was successful. It is in the D:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension location.

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="mm:doc">
            <forms>
                <form id= "custom-form-id">
                    <field-visibility>
                                   <show id="mm:title" for-mode="view,edit,create" />
                                  <show id="mm:shortTitle" for-mode="view,edit,create" />

                                  <show id="mm:description" for-mode="view,edit,create" />
                                  <show id="mm:standardImageUrl" for-mode="view,edit,create" />
                      </field-visibility>
                   </form>
                </forms>
        </config>

I do not know , it is the right step or not to configure the form in alfresco comunity 4.0. if yes then how can I configure it in alfresco to view this form shome where in alfresco share. so that I can view this form and add data in alfresco.

I have added the xml configuration as file attachment also because I see in view mode it is not displayed.

Thanks in advance.
