Alfresco Share Config Custom Edit Properties forms for Aspects

yash_patel_c2 — Fri, 29 May 2020 08:32:06 GMT

Hi Team,

I have 2 custom types in my custom content model, 5 aspects which identifies the content and other 20-30 aspects which have different properties within it which are taken as mandatory aspects inside 5 main aspects.

Here in the system when content will be uploaded, it will have one custom type attached to it and one mainAspect will be attached to it.

Content Types

custom:contentType1 -1 Aspect from the mainAspect 1, 3 or 4 will be attached
custom:contentType2 - 1 Aspect from the mainAspect 2 or 5 will be attached

Aspects with properties

custom:subAspect1
custom:subAspect2
custom:subAspect3
....
..
custom:subAspect20

Aspects

custom:mainAspect1 - Mandatory Aspects are custom:subAspect1,custom:subAspect3,custom:subAspect4,custom:subAspect16,custom:subAspect19
custom:mainAspect2 - Mandatory Aspects are custom:subAspect2,custom:subAspect3,custom:subAspect6,custom:subAspect13,custom:subAspect19
custom:mainAspect3 - Mandatory Aspects are custom:subAspect1,custom:subAspect5,custom:subAspect8,custom:subAspect10,custom:subAspect13
custom:mainAspect4 - Mandatory Aspects are custom:subAspect3,custom:subAspect5,custom:subAspect9,custom:subAspect11,custom:subAspect15
custom:mainAspect5 - Mandatory Aspects are custom:subAspect1,custom:subAspect5,custom:subAspect14,custom:subAspect16,custom:subAspect19

Now I want to make Edit Properties forms in such a way that when I upload one content in the Alfresco and change its type to custom:contentType1 and apply custom:mainAspect3 then only properties associated with subAspects 1,5,18,10,13 should be visible as those aspects are mandatory aspects of custom:mainAspect3.

I have added seperate config files for subAspects in share-config-custom.xml

Now I have defined such configs for all required subAspects and I can get required fields in the form but when I add some PNG files or others few OOTB aspects are attached automatically. How can I remove those properties? Or how canI configure form in such a way that only custom properties shoul be visible?

Thanks,

Yash

Hi,

You can try like this way.(Sorry to say I have not tested).

acme:document- Use your custom type here.

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="acme:document">
        <forms>
            <!-- Default form configuration for the cm:content type -->
            <form>
                <field-visibility>
                    <show id="cm:name"/>
                    <show id="cm:title" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:description" force="true"/>
                    <show id="mimetype"/>
					// Basic Metadata
                </field-visibility>
                <appearance>
                   .....
                </appearance>
            </form>
            <!-- Document Library pop-up Edit Metadata form -->
            <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
                <field-visibility>
                    <show id="cm:name"/>
                    <show id="cm:title" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:description" force="true"/>
                    // Basic Metadata
                </field-visibility>
                <edit-form template="../documentlibrary/forms/doclib-simple-metadata.ftl"/>
                <appearance>
                   .......
                </appearance>
            </form>
            <!-- Document Library Inline Edit form -->
            <form id="doclib-inline-edit">
                <field-visibility>
                    <show id="cm:name"/>
                    <show id="cm:content" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:title" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:description" force="true"/>
					// Basic Metadata
                </field-visibility>
                <appearance>
                   ..........
            </form>
        </forms>
    </config>

    <!-- Create and search forms for acme:document -->
    <config evaluator="model-type" condition="acme:document">
        <forms>
            <form>
                <field-visibility>

                    <show id="cm:content" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:title" force="true"/>
                    <show id="cm:description" force="true"/>
                    <show id="mimetype"/>
                    // Basic Metadata
                </field-visibility>
                <appearance>
                    ......
                </appearance>
            </form>
        </forms>
    </config>
