Configure a template for a custom space type

nico73 — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:47:00 GMT

Hi,It must be a stupid question, because I didn't find anyone who asks it…I have a custom space type. I'd like to configure a freemarker template for this type. Is it possible to do this in a XML configuration file ? Or do I need to develop a web client customization ? If so, how can I do this ?Than

Maybe i am not understanding exactly what you want to do, but you can add a FreeMarker template as a Custom View to any space using the web-client UI. You could also write a Javascript that searched for all objects of your custom type and added the view in code so you don't have to add it by hand to all objects.

I was about to extend the browse JSP for my custom space type and replace the standard code by this :

<r:template template="alfresco/templates/my_custom_type_template.ftl" />

Maybe it's ugly and you're thinking of a better way to do this ?

The JavaScript seems insteresting but I d'ont know how to do this in a script. If I choose your solution, do I have to reexecute the script every time a new sapce of my custom type is created ?
