Hello everyone,I am struggling with implementation of a filter which would display only specific nodes under a folder.Let's be more specific: I have custom type with property called status. This property can have values such as Draft, In Review, Approved, ... It is set by constraints by the content

When you are using Alfresco 5.1 you may want to check out the "Smart Folders" feature. This allows you to define virtual folders that use search-based operations to determine which elements should be displayed. That could allow you to filter nodes in the Share view without having to customize any webscripts / UI components. It also allows you to provide different kinds of views with different filter logic instead of forcing all views to use the same logic from the backend.

Hi Axel,

Thank you, that's definitely good idea.

Since I would need to use it in all sites and maybe even in some other folders under repository. Should I be afraid of any performance issues in case I use it in almost whole repository?

So far I set it by "smart.folders.config.type.templates.qname.filter=cm:folder" with smart folder template "cm_folder.json":

{
    "name": "Smart Folders Example",
    "nodes": [{
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Approved",
        "description": "Approved nodes",
        "search": {
            "language": "fts-alfresco",
            "query": "(PATH:'%ACTUAL_PATH%/*') AND (TYPE:'tieto:type') AND (=tieto:status:'Approved')"
        }
    }]
}

Maybe it will help someone how to set it.

Br,

Filip
