Custom Aspect types not showing in share console!

[bilalsaeed]

I am writing a webscript for Document Management, there I needed additional metadata of files so I used aspects to achieve such functionality. In Alfresco console custom metadata is appearing but in share console it isn't. Here what I followed the instructions so far.

Placed content-model-context.xml file in "tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension". Content of the file is:

<?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="com.compname.alfresco.addon.documentManagement.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/model/contentModel.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
          
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Placed contentModel.xml file in "tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\model". Content of the file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!– Definition of new Model –>

<!– The important part here is the name - Note: the use of the my: namespace 
   which is defined further on in the document –>
<model name="ud:documentManagementCustomModel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>

Though my custom model is appearing in the list of manage aspects but yet none of the types of my custom aspect appears.

[sujaypillai]

Your <aspects> and <types> definition in share-config-custom.xml should be placed under -

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
      <aspects>
         <visible>
            <aspect name="ud:documentManagementCustomFields"/>
         </visible>
      </aspects>
                <types>
                <types>
</config>

Thanks for replying Sujay. My aspect is already under:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">

      <tree>
         <!–
            Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
            This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
         –>
         <evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
         
         <!–
            Optionally limit the number of folders shown in treeview throughout Share.
         –>
         <maximum-folder-count>1000</maximum-folder-count>
         
         <!–  
            Default timeout in milliseconds for folder Tree component to recieve response from Repository
         –>
         <timeout>7000</timeout>
      </tree>

      <!–
         Used by the "Manage Aspects" action

         For custom aspects, remember to also add the relevant i18n string(s)
            cm_myaspect=My Aspect
      –>
      <aspects>
         <!– Aspects that a user can see –>
         <visible>
            <aspect name="cm:generalclassifiable" />

It appears in the list of available aspects when you tried option manage aspect. Problem is the properties of my aspect not showed up.
