Detail-View as standard view?

[manfred99]

Hi @ all!

I'd like to see the detailed view as my standard view when loging in. I searched the xml-files but did not find where to set this behaviour. Can anyone please help?
Thank you!

The default web client views are contained in web-client-config.xml located in <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco

You can override the default settings by editing web-client-config-custom.xml in <TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ and adding:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
      <!– the views available in the client –>
      <views>
         <!– default values for the views available in the client –>
         <view-defaults>
            <browse>
               <!– allowable values: list|details|icons –>
               <view>details</view>
               <page-size>
                  <list>20</list>
                  <details>20</details>
                  <icons>20</icons>
               </page-size>
            </browse>
         </view-defaults>
      </views>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I tested these changes in 1.4 RC1 using the Tomcat package.  Your mileage may vary depending on what version you are using.

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration for further details about how to configure Alfresco.

Thank you very much! It works with 1.3 under JBoss 4.0.4!

Hi,

Is it possible for each user to define their own default view and how many items are displayed on one page when they log in?  Currently when the user logs out this setting is lost.

Thanks,

Justin

As you probably noticed we added the first basic user preferences in 1.4 - but we have not yet finished adding everything to it. The features you ask for are not yet present and will be added in the next version of the user preferences screens.

Thanks,

Kevin

I looked through the user properties but unfortunately I did not find the appropriate option in user settings. Can someone give me a hint?
