Custom content model not available in Share

[willisdl]

I've created a custom content model for Alfresco Community 4.2.c, but for some reason I can't make it available in Alfresco Share.  I followed the steps in Jeff Potts <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article-2ed.pdf">article</a> and created a model (NGA_pub.xml), context file (NGA_pub-model-context.xml), and a share-config-custom.xml and placed them all the the alfresco/extension folder in the tomcat installation.  But when I try to create new content or upload content, the new type does not appear at all.  Also, I cannot create generic content and then change the type to the custom type (the custom type does not appear in the menu again).  Am I missing a step somewhere?  Thanks.

Here's my code:

NGA_pub.xml

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

<!– Definition of new Model –>
<model name="publication:publicationdatamodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>   
   <description>Publication Content</description>
   <author></author>
   <version>1.0</version>

   <!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>   
   <imports>
        <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
      <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
   </imports>

   <!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="publication.data.model" prefix="publication"/>
   </namespaces>
   
   <types>
   
      <!– Definition of new Content Type –>

     <type name="publication:publication">
         <title>Publication</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="publication:pub_number">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         <property name="publication:pub_title">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         <property name="publication:pub_type">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         <property name="publication:file_path">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         <property name="publication:seq_file_path">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>

    </types>

   
</model>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here's my NGA_pub-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="NGA_pub.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/NGA_pub.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>        
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And here's my share-config-custom.xml:

<alfresco-config>
   <!– Document Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
      <types>
         <type name="cm:content">
            <subtype name="publication:publication" />
         </type>
         <type name="publication:publication" />
      </types>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

Hi,
when you use the Alfresco Web Client, you should expose your custom fields by modifying the web-client-config-custom.xml file.
Similarly in you have to do the same in Share.
Take a look here http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/end-user-discussions/alfresco-share/share-custom-content-model-0512...

Andrea,
I created the share-config-custom.xml file for Share - I thought the web-client-config-custom.xml was only for Explorer?  Do I need both?

Dave

[abarisone]

You're right, you need only share-config-custom for Share.
It was just an example since the concepts behind are almost the same.

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Dave,

did you place your file share-config-custom.xml in the following location : [ALFRESCO]\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension ?

[willisdl]

Emmanuel,
I did place it in the \alfresco\web-extension folder, but it doesn't seem to have any effect whether it's there or in the alfresco\extension location.

1. Your namespace uri should be like this

   <namespaces>

      <namespace uri="http://www.yourcompanyurl.com/model/content/1.0 prefix="publication"/>

   </namespaces>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2.if you are using tomcat7 ,make sure  [ALFRESCO]\tomcat\shared\classes is in your classpath.
