Document types

[roseta]

I'm using Alfresco with my own customized document types in xml files, but when I try to add new content from the Alfresco Share interface, there is no documents types there? How could I migrate my content types to Alfresco Share? It's the same with my customized properties… Any ideas, please? Thanks!

There's no such thing as a "content type for Alfresco Share", so there's nothing to "migrate".

What you may need to do is to configure Share to display your custom types and properties.

Yes, I actually meant that! How can I configure it?

[nikes]

look at the share-config.xml <types> element.

You can add your custom type under this element.

Related to this post a very weird thing just happened to me:

I've modified the "C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\share-form-config.xml" file, in order to get my new metadata in the edit metadata form in Alfresco Share as in Alfresco Explorer, but when I delete the piece of code I've added to show the metadata (stop and start alfresco again) they're still there! Inbelievable, isn't it? Can anyone tell me how can I "undo" the showing of that customized metadata in the edit form? I want my metadata, but not in the "edit form" anymore! THANKS A LOT!!!

That's the piece of code I added and deleted:

 <!– Document Library pop-up Edit Metadata form ————————>
