Out of curiosity are you adding these files inside or outside the war file ?

visiting the Data dictionary page in the wiki might help, as said here http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_5:_Testing_the_Model_definition
you have to restart in order to see your changes.

you can see them similar to the normal default metdata fields , when you try to add data in the newly created content model from the webclient.

Try restarting web server..

Re: problems with web-client-config-custom.xml

gutierrez_ge — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:57:14 GMT

nothing… still the same page, i think i haven't registered the model well

on the example-model-context.xml i have this

    <!– Registration of new models –>
    <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/exampleModel.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

i that file is on alfresco/extension

i think i need to register that on the core-service-context.xml file

what do you say?

Thanks,

sorry the file name is web-client-config-custom.xml which is in Alfresco/extension folder.

the xml snippet added is similar to this:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:sop1">
      <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="my:birthDate" />
         <show-property name="my:field2" />
       </property-sheet>
   </config>

To see these properties the node in the repository has to have had the "my:imageClassification" aspect applied.

The config you have uncommented is saying show these properties when the my:imageClassification aspect is present.

To add the aspect you need to either setup a rule or use the "Run Action" action on a node details page. However, to make sure this aspect is available for selection you need to uncomment the section in web-client-config-custom.xml that looks like the config below:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards">
   <aspects>
      <aspect name="my:imageClassification"/>
   </aspects>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Once you've done that and restarted the server go to a node's details page and select "Run Action". For the action chooose "Add an aspect", then select Image Classification. After the wizard is finished you should now see the 3 properties.

Hope this helps.
