Add custom attributes at Folder level(Space Level)

[prateekgoyal]

Hello All,
I want to add some custom attributes(metadata) to the space. Is it possible?
Means can i add them by modifying any xml within Alfresco, as in the case of a document for which we need to modify examplemodel.xml.
Please rply soon, its urgent.

Of course it's possible.
It's a part of my customModel.xml

<model name="sgnhp:sgnhpModels" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

Hey Alexey,
Thanks for the rply…but can you tell me how will it appear on Alfresco web client, when i start the create space wizard

[alexey]

It will appear when you choose  "From scratch" in the "Create space wizard"

[prateekgoyal]

Hey i have tried it, but it is not appearing their…
I have done the following changes:
1. made the changes in customModel.xml
2. made an extry for this in web-client-config-custom.xml
3. restarted the tomcat server
4. started the advance space wizard 'From Scratch'

but not able to find anything….

[alexey]

You should look in the alfresco.log.

[prateekgoyal]

hey i am geting the following warning in the log
"[org.alfresco.web.bean.spaces.CreateSpaceWizard] Failed to add 'sgnhp:engineeringContract' to the list of folder types as the prefix can not be resolved"

[alexey]

You must create a new file sgnhp-model-context.xml.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>
   <!– Registration of new models –>   
   <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
      <property name="models">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco/extension/customModel.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Restart the Tomcat server.
