Custom Model Creation

[thaneshk]

Hi, I created a sample model called tkflowmodel.xml and tkflow-model-context.xml, including the web-client-config.xml.

I am currently using Alfresco .1.2 RC

I placed all three {removing everything else that existed in the dirs before } under

alfresco\boss\server\default\conf\alfresco\extension &

alfresco\jboss\server\default\deploy\alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension

My code is as follows

[b]tkflowModel.xml[/b]

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

<!– Custom Model –>

<!– Note: This model is pre-configured to load at startup of the Repository.  So, all custom –>
<!–       types and aspects added here will automatically be registered –>

<model name="tk:tkflowModel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>   
   <description>Custom Model</description>
   <author></author>

Now when i did this with "exampleModel.xml" I was atleast able to see the content type " Standard Procedure Operation" when creating a piece of content. Now I cannot even see my own type. What more modification should I make.

Please let me know.

Thank You

Which 1.2RC are you using 1 or 2?

If you are using RC2 then all these files should be in alfresco\boss\server\default\conf\alfresco\extension, is that where they are?

If so, the web client config file should be called "web-client-config-custom.xml", this may explain why you're changes are not being picked up.
