Custom Create Content Item

[ania]

Hi,
I need to create a custom item in the Alfresco Share Site create content select-box, I added in share-config-custom.xml file the following configuration:

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  <create-content>
   <content id="plain-text" mimetype="text/plain" label="BM_News" itemid="bm:news" icon="ax" />
  </create-content>
</config>

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="bm:news">
 <forms>
       <form>
          <field-visibility>
             <!– inherited from cm:content –>
             <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
             <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
             <!–  specific for bmed:news –>
      <show id="bm:product" />
          </field-visibility>
          <appearance>
      <field id="bm:product" label="Abstract"/>
      <field id="bm:imageLinks" label="ImageLinks">
                        <control>
                            <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
                        </control>      
      </field>
          </appearance>
       </form>
    </forms>
 </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It works and displays the new custom item in the select-box "Create Content", but I don't know how to display the new item only for the specific site, not in the entire repository document library or in the other sites. It is possible? Thanks

Yes this is quite easy if you are running a recent version of Alfresco. You do this by adding the configuration above inside a Surf extensibility module.

Great example <a href="https://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/SampleModules">here</a> and more info <a href="http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2012/03/05/share-configuration-extensibility/">here</a>

Do not forget to deploy

Thanks <a href="http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2012/03/05/share-configuration-extensibility/">that</a> worked for me.

I am also wondering if you know how to display subtypes under "create content" menu?
