Restricting type/aspect visibility per site

Can you currently make specific types and aspects only visible when in a certain site?Or even restrict an entire model to a site?This would be really useful, Currently using 4.1 Enterprise; Share.For example I want exampleAspectA to only be able to be seen and applied when in siteA,and exampleAspect

Hello,

you can restrict types / aspects in the document library pages using Surf Extensiblity Modules. These allow you to provide dynamic configuration additions based on the context of a request and can have an evaluator assigned determining when that configuration should be used. Have a look at this <a href="http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2012/03/05/share-configuration-extensibility/">blog post by Dave Draper</a> for a way to do this.

Thanks for the reply.

That link helped, but i'm now confused at where to write the module.
Do i create a new .xml file for it, append it in share-documentlibrary-config.xml, or overwrite share-documentlibrary-config.xml.

Thanks

Hello,

you create a new .xml file in <share_config_root>/alfresco/web-extension/site-data/extensions/
