Custom Content Model

[dipakj]

Hi All,

In my project  I want to upload the file  in Alfreco .But the file has custom content type like ISBN No. PO No.(Purchaes Order No) etc. My question is can I create custom content type using Alfresco's UI? Or do I have to write custom content model?. Is there any REST API is available do this?
Please Help me .

Thanks ,
Dipak

You can use the APIs to create content and you can hotdeploy content modells via the webclient. Maybe there is even a plugin allowing for GUI-designing content models, as there is a commercial GUI plugin to generate workflows and that is related.

The easiest way would be to write your own content-model definition as XML file. For a simple case of extending the list of metadata, available, that is pretty straight forward . Check the Wiki (Browse for category) or follow the link in my signature to Jeff Potts developer series.
