I'll explain the steps below. Note that this kind of change currently requires you to change one of our JSPs - it's obviously not ideal but it's an area of customisation we haven't tackled yet!

Firstly we need to know some information - what is the ID of your view? I'm assuming it's "custom" for now. Also, we need to know the property name for your "Code ID" value - i'm assuming it's "cm:codeid" for now. You should change the code below to reflect any changes to my assumptions.

The file you want to edit is /web-client/source/web/jsp/browse/browse.jsp and look for the section around line 400. Here you want to add another column for your view that binds to the data for your "Code ID" column. So add something like this after the Description column:


   <%– Code ID column for custom view modes –%>
   <a:column id="colcustom1" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'custom'}">
      <f:facet name="header">
         <a:sortLink id="colcustom1-sort" label="Code ID" value="codeid" styleClass="header"/>
      </f:facet>
      <h:outputText id="colcustom1-txt" value="#{r.codeid}" />
   </a:column>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This will add a new column that binds to the "cm:codeid" field on a node and will only be visible for the custom view.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thank you very much Kevin. That was a bit helpful. Atleast now I can see a column with the name Code ID.

But now as assumed by you "cm:codeid" is not what I want to be displayed. I have it as "my:codeid".

I have a custom type declared as below in the web-client-custom-config.xml.

<type name="my:sop">
         <title>Standard Operating Procedure</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="my:codeid">
               <title>Code Id</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
</type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

my:sop is inherited from the base content model (cm) using import.

I tried the below code in the browse.jsp, but to no avail.

<%– Code ID column for custom view modes –%>
   <a:column id="colcustom1" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'custom'}">
      <f:facet name="header">
         <a:sortLink id="colcustom1-sort" label="#{msg.codeid}" value="my:codeid" styleClass="header"/>
      </f:facet>
      <h:outputText id="colcustom1-txt" value="#{r.codeid}" />
   </a:column> ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This helped me get a blank column of Code ID column name.
But the values of Code ID donot get populated. I think this is a problem since I have used a custom model and I cannot directly use r.codeid. What is the solution to it?

Please help in this regard.

Thanks, Manmeet

P.S. One more thing I noticed is that when I sort it on the Code Id column, it sorts correctly, its only that the values are not displayed in the column.

Ahh i see, can you try this code for the outputText tag:


<h:outputText id="colcustom1-txt" value='#{r["my:codeid"]}' />

Note the use of single quotes around the 'value' attribute and the double quoted value inside it.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello,
You don't have a custom view when search results are displayed.
Is it also possible to add or change columns in Details view of search results on Alfresco.
Kind regards,
Joris
