Custom CreateWebContentWizard

[stiegld]

Hi there,

I've been trying to create a custom CreateWebContentWizard. In preparation I simply wanted to move all of the relevant artifacts to our customization project for easy integration with the product. Here are the steps I took:

1. Created an EMPTY bean: CustomCreateWebContentWizard that extends CreateWebContentWizard (no methods, or anything else).

2. Copied the <managed-bean> node from faces-config-beans.xml to my project.

3. Modified said configuration to point to the CustomCreateWebContentWizard class.

4. In my web-client-config-custom.xml file, created a wizard configuration that has a managed-bean attribute pointing to the new managed-bean configuration described above.

When I run alfresco, the form generated with this configuration is a simple text area (no XForm or anything else). Changing the web-client-config-custom.xml to point to have a managed-bean attribute="CreateWebContentWizard" produces the expected form.

Shouldn't my custom configuration do the same? Have I missed a configuration step?

I'm not sure I understand the problem you are seeing.

By changing your config in web-client-config-custom.xml back to the default it works, but what is happening before that? Do you not see your custom page?

Try turning on debug for the navigation handler and posting the output, to do this add the following line to your log4j.properties file:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.web.app.AlfrescoNavigationHandler=debug‍
