Custom Property in Web Project?

[howejr77]

Hello,

I've been learning how to add properties to content through custom models  and aspects. Outside of Web Projects, I've been able to add content and see/edit/search my custom properties on the content or even add aspects.

Is there a way to do this inside of Web Projects? I've seen some references that you can have/add the content types but that the interface doesn't support the editing of the properties at this point? Is this correct or am simply missing a way to extend the WCM content types? If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks…

I see references to adding custom properties to your documents as elements in your web forms and then using extractors to migrate them to the database so they can be searched. Is this the more appropriate approach to adding custom properties to your documents within WCM?  If so, when you "add" content (ie: PDF etc) instead of create content from a web form, how would add and edit similar custom properties as you were putting into your web form? This situation seems to point me back to wanting to create a custom type and extend the UI to allow you to set the values on the property sheet?

I would really appreciate any comments on people would have on how you would add and edit custom properties on all types of content in a Web Project…

Thank You
