Content (type) in WCM

[vijay_alfresco]

Hi All,

Please let me know how to add the custom metadata to WCM, there is
no Type: drop down as in other spaces while adding content in a
My Sandbox.

1. How can i add the custom types (i.e Research, Medical….etc) in WCM
under the sandbox while uploading the content.

2. How can i define the taggable aspects in WCM for a specific content.

If you know any link also will help me…..

Thanks,

Hi Vijay,

I'm new to alfresco and I hope to give a good suggestion

1. How can i add the custom types (i.e Research, Medical….etc) in WCM
under the sandbox while uploading the content.

I think you could try to install this: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WSF
This is a website framework useful to understand the alfresco capabilities, for what I understood the contents type can be implemented with web forms. In WSF rhere are a lot of form: article, navigation, multi-media, picture of the day, message of the day, etc.

2. How can i define the taggable aspects in WCM for a specific content.

Well… now I'm unable to answer, please could specify what you mean for taggable aspects?

Bye,
Vincenzo

Thank you Vincenzo, I am using webforms to store the content and metadata  , for storing content i have given file upload control within webform to upload content. But there is no association between the created xml and this content except that there is an entry in the xml about this content.

But i want the functionality so that when i click on the edit properties of file uploaded as above i want to display the webform to edit the fields.

Do you have any solution for this,

Thanks in avance

Thanks,
Vijay

There is no UI to do this at present. Your only "easy" route is to use the JavaScript API in Alfresco 2.1 - using this you can add Aspects and Properties to WCM nodes. You can also use the FreeMarker Templating API to display the data as a Custom View template or similar.

Thanks,

Hi kevin,

Thank you for the reply, do you mean I can associate the xml and content using javascript?

I tried to develop a custom dialog ("Add Content" , "Edit Properties") which is similar to the one in alfresco CMS, but I lost in between and stopped it.

Please send me some links or examples using javascript.

Thanks,
Vijay
