Custom Model

[tytanix]

Hello! I have a question, how can I define properties for a custom type? Do i have to implement an aspect? Or can I declare properties for a type?

An example

<blockcode>
<types>
      
      <!– Enterpriese-wide tipo di documento generico –>
      <type name="tr:doc">
         <title>Documento Trilogis</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <associations>
            <association name="tr:relatedDocument">
               <title>Documenti Correlati</title>
               <source>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>ture</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>tr:doc</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </target>
            </association>
         </associations>
         
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
         
      </type>
      
      <type name="tr:trilogisoffer">
         <title>Documento Offerta Trilogis</title>
         <parent>tr:doc</parent>
         
         <properties>
            <property name="tr:client">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>
      
   </types>
</blockcode>

I've declared properties for type "trilogisoffer", but the model isn't shown in alfresco. If i delete type "trilogisoffer" the model will be shown. Why?

Thanks

You have added the custom property correctly for type  "trilogisoffer".
Yes you can add custom properties that way.

Now I think your issue is you are not able to see that on interface.
For that you need to configure it in either share-config-custom.xml(for Alfresco Share) or in web-clinet-config-custom.xml(for Alfresco Explorer)

Ok, I have done that but nothing. Then I've tried to delete the added type e then rewrote them again. After that all has gone ok. I can't  understand what could be the problem but now all work ok.
Another question: is it normal that, after changing document type, i'm not able to change it again?
For example, i have set a document as Article. Then, if i click on change type again, the combobox in the popup is empty.

Normally it is not advisable and also not required to change type of document. I have not checked that scenario but I think you should be able to do it. any errors in logs?

There are no errors related to this issue in the log. Now i've noticed that i can't remove the aspect too.
Could this problem be caused by my custom content model?

Aspect remove should defiantly work I am very sure about it. Are you able to do other operations like create update delete?
