topic Custom contenttype only creatable with custom mimetypes?! in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-contenttype-only-creatable-with-custom-mimetypes/m-p/76689#M50618 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN style="color:darkred;">First I created a new contenttype (lets call it newDocumentType) with custom properties, constraints etc. and it works fine. I can created all kinds of documents of every standard mime-type defined in Alfresco as this newDocumentType (instead of type "Content").<BR /><BR />Now there was a need for two additional mimetypes (Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project).<BR /><BR />- Stopped the Alfresco services<BR /><BR />- I created the icon-files (16x16 and 32x32) for .vsd and .mpp and stored them in the correct folderpath.<BR /><BR />- copied a custom file: mimetype-custom-extensions.xml to:<BR />c:\alfresco\tomcat\webapps\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\mimetype<BR /><BR />-copied a custom file: custom-services-context.xml to:<BR />c:\alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension<BR /><BR />The customizations for adding mimetypes through these two files were made exactly conform the instructions on the Alfresco Wiki pages for Mime type customization.<BR /><BR />- Started the Alfresco services.<BR /><BR />So far so good.<BR /><BR />Now I created two documents of type newDocumentType with custom properties and of the mimetypes .vsd (visio) and .mpp (project).<BR />Everything seems ok. The files are generated and have the corresponding icons.<BR /><BR />However..<BR /><BR />Now I tried to add a Microsoft Word document as a newDocumentType to the repository (something that worked before), but it won't get processed.<BR />I can only add a MS Word (or any default mimetype) as of contenttype "Content" and not as the custom type newDocumentType.<BR /><BR />Can you please tell me what could be the problem and how to solve this.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR /><BR />Alex</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 08:35:01 GMT alexr 2006-10-11T08:35:01Z Custom contenttype only creatable with custom mimetypes?! https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-contenttype-only-creatable-with-custom-mimetypes/m-p/76689#M50618 First I created a new contenttype (lets call it newDocumentType) with custom properties, constraints etc. and it works fine.
