Custom models not showing in Alfresco Share after adding them

LeCehlou — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:32:14 GMT

I was following this tutorial (https://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html#introduction) that a lot of people recommended to me and for some reason, models and aspects aren't displayed in the rules section and the other ones it should be displayed.

I know Alfresco detects the file, because if I try to voluntarily mess the syntax, I get an error at the launch of Alfresco. Any idea how to try fix it? I tried to recreate a project with the same exact version as the tutorial, doesn't seem to change anything.

share-config-custom.xml :

Your configuration is not completed, you have to add also a specific config node-type elements in share-config-custom.xml for configuring edit and view forms for each content type you have defined inside the custom model.

Add something similar to the following for each content type, in this case sc:doc type:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="sc:doc">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="cm:name" />
               <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
               <show id="sc:relatedDocuments" />               
            </field-visibility>
         </form>
      <forms>
</config>

Search forms must be defined in the config model-type element.

For more information take a look at the documentation here:

Thanks a lot, I was stuck on this for days !

(by the way you missed a closing " / " in your forms XML tag, just writing it here for helping the ones with the same problem as me)
