Custom document filters

[bengrah]

Hi all.

One of the things we found to be lacking in Share is that document filters on the top left of the screen. There's only two filters in the Repo (Favourites, I'm Editing) while you get a lot more with a Site. What we were wanting to do is do a custom filter for documents you've Recently Added. Chances are it's entirely possible to repurpose the code used to do this in Sites but just point it at the Repository, but I've not had much luck diving around the Alfresco directory looking for where these actions take place.

Can anyone give me any pointers about this?

Thanks,
Ben.

Hi Mike.

Thanks again for your pointers. That was a relatively easy change! I'm surprised that something like custom filters haven't been portioned out to the share-config-custom.xml to be honest since it's something that could be pretty powerful.

Managed to get this working now.

Cheers,
Ben.
