Configuring Dynamic Models in 2.9 'per Tenant'

[jlabuelo]

Good afternoon all

I have been trying this Dynamic Model feature of the 2.9C Alfresco version and as far as I have tried works fine.
I am able to change my Model configuration without restarting the Alfresco Server application. However reading th documentation in the "http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/MT#Tenant_Customisation" section I unerstand (maybe I am wrong) that in 2.9 we could create a new Content Model per tenant:

"The MT features also depend on the the new Dynamic Models features. This provides tenants the ability to customize their Alfresco environment, including models, workflows and web client UI."

My understanding reading this is that we could crustomize the Alfresco Content model per tenant, but I have been only able to perform  Content Model Changes that affect to the three tenants I have created.

Have anyone of you been able to customize the Content Model per tenant in their 2.9C installation??

thanks in advance

Yes, this should work OK for 2.9.0, 2.9.0B and 2.9.0C-dev (nightly builds).

All tenants will inherit models that are created by the super admin (ie. 'admin').

If you wish to create tenant-specific models, then you can create them using the tenant admin (eg. 'admin@mytenant')

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Janv

Thanks a lot for clarifying me this dout. I have tried it in my last nightly built 2.9C dev and works fine for each of the tenants I have created.

One more question I have now is… would it be possible to customize the icons of the web client for each of the tenants I have created? I think if 2.9C does not support this feature, would be nice to include it in a future release or nightly build.

Cheers

Although I haven't tried this myself, it should be possible by customising the Web Client UI (for a given tenant) and changing the appropriate image paths.

Note: all required icons would need to be available under the alfresco webapp and hence may need to be pre-installed (eg. via an AMP).

Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks,
Jan

Hi again Janv

Thanks  a lot for yor help. I have tried what you have explained to me and worked fine!!!!. Sorry could not reply before, I took a month of vacations (really needed them  )

But now I would like to go forward. What I would like to test is the way of changing the Alfresco logo in the top-right corner in the screen, by the logo of the "virtual company" I have created a tenant for. I mean I would like each tenant to be able to show their company logo, no just new folder icons and also include that company logo in other places in the screen.

I know that this can be done in version 2.1, by replacing the logos in tomcat\webapps\alfresco\images\logo folder, but I guess if I do so in 2.9 I will be replacing the logos for all the tenants, which is not what I pretend to get.

Could you help me with this? If this is not possible I think would be a nice feature to be included. What do you think?

Thanks again

Cheers
