Hi,When I create a new content I would like to set only the custom properties. I want delete the following properties: title, description an author.I think that is posible editing edit-content-properties.jsp.How I can do it?Thanks.

You can edit web-client-config-properties.xml or better still your own web-client-config-custom.xml file to hide these properties.

However, doing this may remove these properties from all places in the client i.e. the edit properties dialog.

In the config file you can do the following:



<config evaluator="node-type" condition="content">
   <property-sheet>
      <show-property name="title" hide="true" />
      <show-property name="description" hide="true" />
   </property-sheet>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If you are creating custom content and want to hide these properties for only your custom type change the condition.

Hope that helps

I have already added the code that you propose, but the properties continue appearing.
This is my web-client-config-custom.xml:

<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
         <language locale="es_ES">Spanish</language>
         <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>

      </languages>
   </config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
      <content-types>
         <type name="fac:factura" />
      </content-types>
   </config>

   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="fac:factura">

What is the problem??

Thanks.

You need to have the properties defined for your custom type too i.e:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="fac:factura">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="title" hide="true" />
         <show-property name="description" hide="true" />
         <show-property name="author" hide="true" />
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:Fecha_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Numero_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Base_Imponible" />
         <show-property name="fac:Impuestos" />
         <show-property name="fac:Total" />
         <show-property name="fac:Nombre_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Cliente" />
         <show-property name="fac:Descripcion_Cliente" />
         <show-association name="fac:signOff" />
         <show-child-association name="fac:processSteps" />
      </property-sheet>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi,

I have copied your code in my web-client-config-custom but the properties appears.
If I use the prefixes the properties appears two times.
This the code with prefixes:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="fac:factura">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="mimetype" display-label-id="content_type" 
                        component-generator="MimeTypeSelectorGenerator" />
         <show-property name="size" display-label-id="size" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.ByteSizeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />               
         <show-property name="cm:title" hide="true"/>
         <show-property name="cm:description" hide="true"/>
         <show-property name="cm:author" hide="true"/>
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:Fecha_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Numero_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Base_Imponible" />
         <show-property name="fac:Impuestos" />
         <show-property name="fac:Total" />
         <show-property name="fac:Nombre_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Cliente" />
         <show-property name="fac:Descripcion_Cliente"/>
       
      </property-sheet>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for all.

I'm really sorry my bad, hide="true" is used for hiding actions not properties ops:

You'll need the following to hide the properties:

<show-property name="cm:title" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />
<show-property name="cm:description" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />
<show-property name="cm:author" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />

Hi,

your solution works perfect with the custom attributes.
But I don't hide the attributes title, description and author using show-in-edit-mode and show-in-view-mode.

this is my code:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="fac:factura">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="mimetype" display-label-id="content_type" 
                        component-generator="MimeTypeSelectorGenerator" />
         <show-property name="size" display-label-id="size" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.ByteSizeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />               
         <show-property name="cm:title" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="cm:description" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="cm:author" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:Fecha_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Numero_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Base_Imponible" />
         <show-property name="fac:Impuestos" />
         <show-property name="fac:Total" />
         <show-property name="fac:Nombre_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Cliente" />
         <show-property name="fac:Descripcion_Cliente" />
       
      </property-sheet>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What is the problem??

Thanks.

I just copied your example…the cm: prefixes should not be there, try the following instead:


<show-property name="title" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />
<show-property name="description" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />
<show-property name="author" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />‍‍‍‍

Hi,

I have used app:editInline but the property does not hide!!!
This is my code:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="fac:factura">
      <property-sheet>
                <show-property name="title" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false"/> 
         <show-property name="description" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="author" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
       <show-property name="modifier" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
       <show-property name="created" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="modified" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="creator" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
         <show-property name="accessed" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 
        <show-property name="editInline" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" /> 

       <show-property name="fac:NIF_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:Fecha_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Numero_Factura" />
         <show-property name="fac:Base_Imponible" />
         <show-property name="fac:Impuestos" />
         <show-property name="fac:Total" />
         <show-property name="fac:Nombre_Proveedor" />
         <show-property name="fac:NIF_Cliente" />
         <show-property name="fac:Descripcion_Cliente" />
<show-association name="fac:signOff" />
<show-child-association name="fac:processSteps" />
       
      </property-sheet>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Using the prefix app the problem is the same.
Someone can help me?

Thanks

It depends what you mean by hiding, which part?

In the document details dialog there is a link that says Allow Inline Editing, is this what you mean? If so, this is separate from the property sheet and can be hidden through configuration.

If it is within the property sheet you mean then app:editInline should work.

Re: Edit content properties

rcortesr — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:30:31 GMT

I would like to hide this attribute when I am creating a document and when I am viewing the properties of this document.

Re: Edit content properties

gavinc — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 16:34:07 GMT

What you suggested you had should have worked, i have tried the following in a test web-client-config-custom.xml file and the property was hidden:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="content">
   <property-sheet>
      <show-property name="app:editInline" show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />
   </property-sheet>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍

Granted this is for the cm:content type but the same should apply to your custom type too.

Re: Edit content properties

rcortesr — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 08:16:10 GMT

It is already working perfectly.
Thanks for all.
