Hi Vidhi,

Thanks for the reply. This should help in my case.

I've saw codes that you've linked, this is how I understood:

1. Create a custom model.xml or add custom aspect to siteModel.xml

2. Overwrite those lines to each file directly(???).

I'm wondering number two gonna work. Or should I have to create maven Alfresco All In One package and export AMP and import to my server?

Could you please kindly guide me at this point once more?

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Keon,

You can create either All In One Maven sdk package or separate Maven sdk ( for both alfresco and share).

It is better to create separate Maven SDK package.

After when you are able to add your custom properties in site from SDK successfully, create AMP of that pacakge and import in you server.
