Discovering content models

[drisschelouati]

Hello folks, iam beginning to work on Alfresco because it seems to be an outstanding product. For the moment, i installed the community version 5.0d with the records management module 2.3.

After reading lots of tutorials about content modeling (and iam absolutely not a programmer, more of a consultant), i tried to make my own data model based on the ecm architect blog, except for the deployment procedure.

My model consists on a generic document model "ad:document" (child of "cm:content"), with 3  child document models "ad:facturec", "ad:facturef","ad:businessdoc", and 3 "cm:folder" child folder types "ad:cfolder", "ad:bfolder", "ad:hrfolder".

When i tried to update the content of the repository, i did like told on some tutorials:

1. Stop Alfresco
2. Copy the 3 xml model configuration files in ${ALFRESCO_HOME}\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
2. Start service

After i launched Alfresco, i couldnt go further thant the login page. I got this message : "Vos informations d'authentification n'ont pas été reconnues ou Alfresco n'est peut-être pas disponible actuellement" (i.e : your login data couldnt be regognized or Alfresco is currently out of service"

After deleting my model configuration files, Alfresco launches normally. Here are my files if someone could tell me what i did wrong, because iam really a newbie, but who wants to learn fast.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !!!!!!!!

[drisschelouati]

I tried replacing the accented caracters with normal caracters, but got the same result. I also wanted more advice about the dynamic deployment method. I did as the method said, uploaded a sample alfresco tutorial model in the model section of the data dictionnary, checked it as "active" in the properties form and saved. After that, i didnt notify any change in the models. Does SHARE need to be congigured to display the new models with the dynamic approach? what are the steps to do it? thank you!
