So I'm doing the Jeff Potts tutorial about Working With Custom Content Types in Alfresco but after i made the few changes as said in the tutorial to add some rules in the rule configuration panel i don't see any change.All the things I added don't appear.My share-config-custom.xml in ..\tutorial_hom

It is not clear to me what exactly is not working.

What do you expect to see?

Are you referring to the change type action? Can't you see your custom type there?

Are you packaging your project as an AMP or JAR and deploying it in a server? Or are you simply executing the project by using the SDK?

Ok so for example I'm supposed to have this, but the two highlighted types do not appear in my share.
From a jar, I created an Alfresco Platform JAR archetype but I also uncommented my pom so that it is able to create an AMP.

Well, that one is a simple thing, so the only thing I can think of is that you have a typo or something somewhere, but for that, it will be hard to help you indentifying it without taking a look at your project's source code.

An idea would be to grab the source code from Jeff's repository on github ( alfresco-developer-series/share-config-custom.xml at master · jpotts/alfresco-developer-series · GitHub ) and perform a diff to show what is different.

Ok mh this code is totaly different from mine, I think it has been made in another (more advanced) tutorial...My share-config-custom.xml is juste made of this :

<alfresco-config>
      
      <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
      </config>
</alfresco-config>
<aspects>
   
   <visible>
         <aspect name="sc:webable" />
         <aspect name="scroductRelated" />
   </visible>
   
   <addable>
   </addable>
   
   <removeable>
   </removeable>
</aspects>
<types>
   <type name="cm:content">
         <subtype name="sc:doc" />
         <subtype name="sc:whitepaper" />
   </type>
   <type name="sc:doc">
         <subtype name="sc:whitepaper" />
   </type>
</types>

Although in the tutorial, he says that I have to create this file, but after I created the project this file was already there and contained some code so I just deleted the code to put mine instead. Maybe I did not create the project properly even though I followed every step line by line ? Is this file supposed to already be there when you create the project ?

Yes, it is supposed to be there when you create a new SDK project.

But what you did is right.

You just have to clean all the content (that is just a sample) and put your code inside of it.

Ok that's a good start if everything is ok. But did you have any problem like this which may have caused the fact that custom models don't appear in share ?

Ah, now I saw what the problem is.

The XML is not well formed.

Try this one instead:

<alfresco-config>
    <!-- Document Library config section -->
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
 
        <aspects>
            <!-- Aspects that a user can see -->
            <visible>
                <aspect name="sc:webable" />
                <aspect name="sc:productRelated" /> 
            </visible>
 
            <!-- Aspects that a user can add. Same as "visible" if left empty -->
            <addable>
            </addable>
 
            <!-- Aspects that a user can remove. Same as "visible" if left empty -->
            <removeable>
            </removeable>
        </aspects>
 
        <types>
            <type name="cm:content">
                <subtype name="sc:doc" />
                <subtype name="sc:whitepaper" />
            </type>
            <type name="sc:doc">
                <subtype name="sc:whitepaper" />
            </type>
        </types>
    </config>
</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The </config> </alfresco-config> was in the wrong place.
