Deploying a custom content model

tarapenner — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 03:46:14 GMT

Hello,I'm trying to deploy a simple custom content model. If I create only one subtype which inherits all of its properties from cm:content, the model loads and I'm able to select it using 'Change Type' in Share. When I try to add custom metadata as in the model file below, nothing shows in the 'Cha

Thanks for reading the tutorial. I hope it has been helpful so far.

In the types element, you need to include every combination of specialization that you might want your users to do. For example, you have listed sub-types of cm:content, but your test:species type inherits from test:doc. Using the config as it is currently, if a document is currently a "test:doc" they won't be able to specialize it to "test:species". To make that possible, try changing your config to look like this:

<types>
<type name="cm:content">
   <subtype name="cb:doc" />
   <subtype name="test:doc" />
   <subtype name="test:species />
</type>
<type name="test:doc">
   <subtype name="test:species />
</type>
</types>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope that helps,
Jeff

Hi Jeff - thanks so much for responding, and for creating the guide, which I have found very very useful (as well as the developer webinar series and your blog)

Unfortunately though, I'm still not having any luck with custom subtypes. I've managed to get 4 custom datalists working, but as soon as I try to add subtypes of cm:content (and subtypes of kesn:doc, a subtype of cm:content), I get errors in the log file saying that the bootstrap model could not be imported. Is there something I'm still missing in one of these files?

You're XML isn't valid. You've got an opening "types" element in there twice.

Success! Thanks so much Jeff - I will always be sure to validate my xml before posting from now on! ops:

Re: Deploying a custom content model

tarapenner — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:46:30 GMT

I may have spoken too soon. I've got the new content types in the drop down list, but when I try to change the type (all 5 subtypes were showing in the list), I get a message saying that the content type couldn't be changed. So I went back to the guide I've been following, and copied the new and existing node config elements from share-form-config.xml for each of the subtypes I created - all of which are inheriting their properties directly from cm:content.

When I restart Tomcat, despite no related errors in the log file, I no longer see any of the custom types in the change-type drop-down list. I'm pretty new to Alfresco, and I'd appreciate any troubleshooting pointers or other suggestions.

This is what I added to the share-config-custom.xml file:

Re: Deploying a custom content model

jpotts — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:08:50 GMT

I deployed your content model and your share configuration and was able to successfully change types. But here's the catch. You can only move down in the hierarchy. So if you change something from cm:content to kesn:doc, you can change that doc to kesn:species. But once you get to kesn:species, you can make no more changes because kesn:species has no child types, only siblings, and you aren't allowed to change to sibling types.

I notice that in 4.0.d, the "Change Type" dropdown list does not refresh itself after a change type. So when you change to kesn:species and then click "Change Type" again, you'll still see the choices, none of which are valid based on the "move down" limitation described above.

If you leave the document and come back in to the properties (or just reload), the Change Type dropdown will be empty, which is working as designed.

I have created a Jira on the type dropdown not refreshing problem.

Hi Jeff, thank-you so much for your help and reply. I continued to have problems until I re-installed (Community 4.0.d), and now it's working exactly as you described.

Thanks again!

model deploy successfully . I just want to know that , is this a right way to make custom model? if no, please given me the reason why not use more then one prefix in a model.

Re: Deploying a custom content model

mrogers — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:11:53 GMT

The prefix is there to make your life easier. I can't see how duplicating the prefix makes things easier but if you need to then you can.

Furthermore you could be encouraging some dodgy code for example would you be expecting a search for "ddt:allowedLanguageType" to work. Or throw it out with a property not defined error? I suspect it may work which is perhaps not what you intend.

Re: Deploying a custom content model

sim2487 — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 04:35:00 GMT

Thanks Mrogers

I completely agree with what you are saying. One more question i need to ask that is this things effects the performance of the application. Or any other areas being impacted in application ?
