Hi Sharma,

As long as you have already created and deployed your custom content models to Alfresco (NB:  See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_by_Step_Model_Definition for a write-up on how to do this), you just have to tell Alfresco which types to display or not by modifying its Web Client settings.  Information on how to do this has been posted at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Displaying_Custom_Metadata.

Information on how to customize the Alfresco Explorer interface to display custom content types, etc. can also be found in the following books:

• Alfresco 3 Cookbook (Packt Publishing) by Snig Bhaumik (July 2011)


• Professional Alfresco: Practical Solutions for Enterprise Content Management (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) by David Caruana, John Newton, Mike Farman and Michael Uzquiano (May 2010)


• Alfresco 3 Enterprise Content Management Implementation (Packt Publishing) by Munwar Shariff, Amita Bhandari, Vinita Choudhary, and Pallika Majumdar (June 2009)


• Alfresco Developer Guide (Packt Publishing) by Jeff Potts (October 2008)

Hope this helps,

Darryl
