Your configuration seems OK. What is your Alfresco version ?

re,

first thanks to help me 🙂

my project space is this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!– Definition of new Model –>
<model name="custom:customModel"
xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

<!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>
   <imports>
        <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
      <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
   </imports>

<!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>

Well I copied your type definition and web-client custom config in my own Alfresco instance (2.2 dev, not 2.1) and it works.
I don't see the Solution property in the space creation wizard but I see it in the space details once created -> all is normal ! :roll:

re,

I also see the Solution property in the space details but it's empy because i don't see it in the space creation wizard.
Can you record it via your space creation wizard ?

THanks

No, the space creation wizard shows a static page that does not take property sheet config into account. Maybe I misunderstood your post, I though you could not see your custom property in the edit space details screen after space creation.

You can assign a default value in the model or seize it in the space details after creation but I think you cannot set a specific value during creation without modifying the wizard

ok,

but my pb is that i don't find how to record Solution property via the space detail :cry:

I tried to test the code but it does not appear at details view, only are you doing Create -> create space? Not shown any list for select this custom folder type

Well, now when I go to Create -> Advanced Space Wizard, I select "From scratch". I can see my custom folder and select it but I can't see the new custom properties after. I should be able to see them? This is my steps:

1. create customModel.xml
2. create customModelcontext.xml
3. edit web-client-config-custom.xml and add the following:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Space Wizards">
      <!– The list of custom folder types to show in the advanced space wizard –>
      <folder-types>
         <type name="mycustom:mycustomSpace" icon="/images/icons/mycustomicon.gif"/>
      </folder-types>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍

I forget to do something?

Thanks!

I reply me:

Forget in web-client-config-custom.xml this:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="custom:mycustomfolder">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="cystom:mycustomproperty"/>
      </property-sheet>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍

But, for edit & save this property I have to go to "Modify" Properties. Does anyone know how to change the wizard for do this?

Thanks thanks thanks,
Javier
