Adding custom types to the 'Change Type' drop down

[armino]

(Version 4.2.c)

I have some custom types distributed in several amp/jar deployments.
As long as i add them to WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-documentlibrary-config.xml the change-type dialogue offers the new types.
However when i move this section into the alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml in my jar file the new types are ignored.

Here's the code:

 <alfresco-config> 
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
        <types>
            <type name="cm:content">
                <subtype name="foo:BaseDocCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentBaseCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentTemplateCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentCTPE"/>
            </type>
             <type name="cm:folder">
            </type> 
            <type name="trx:transferTarget">
            <subtype name="trx:fileTransferTarget" />
        </types>
    </config> 
</alfresco-config>

Q: I dont want to make changes to files all over the place, since that will make updates a messy. How to i achieve this in a modular way?

Thanks,
Armin

Your file looks good I think the problem is your share-config-custom.xml is not picked up by alfresco.
Try to place it in tomcat/share/ location.
If that still does not work try once by removing replace="true" attribute from that
