DocumentLibrary: Custom Content Type and Aspect

[lamba]

Hello everybody,

I try the following example http: // blogs.alfresco.com / wp / wabson / 201 sco-share / to add an aspect personalized in Share:

I created the following files:

kb-model.xml in share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!– Definition of new Model –>

    <!– The important part here is the name - Note: the use of the my: namespace
         which is defined further on in the document –>
    <model name="kb:knowledgebase" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

       <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>
       <description>Knowledge Base Model</description>
       <author>Will Abson</author>
       <version>1.0</version>

       <!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>
       <imports>
            <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
          <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
          <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
          <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
       </imports>

       <!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>
       <!– NOTE: The following namespace my.new.model should be changed to reflect your own namespace –>
       <namespaces>
          <namespace uri="http://www.alfresco.com/model/knowledgebase/1.0" prefix="kb"/>
       </namespaces>

        <aspects>

          <!– Definition of new Content Aspect: Knowledge Base Document –>
          <aspect name="kb:referencable">
             <title>Knowledge Base Referencable</title>
             <properties>
                <property name="kb:documentRef">
                   <type>d:text</type>
                </property>
             </properties>
          </aspect>

       </aspects>

    </model>

share-config-custom.xml in share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension

    <alfresco-config>
    <config evaluator="aspect" condition="kb:referencable">
        <forms>
           <form>
              <field-visibility>
                 <!– inherited from cm:content –>
                 <show id="cm:name" />
                 <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
                 <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
                 <show id="mimetype" />
                 <show id="cm:author" force="true" />
                 <show id="size" for-mode="view" />
                 <show id="cm:creator" for-mode="view" />
                 <show id="cm:created" for-mode="view" />
                 <show id="cm:modifier" for-mode="view" />
                 <show id="cm:modified" for-mode="view" />
               
                 <!–  aspect orb:referencable –>             
                 <show id="kb:documentRef" />
               </field-visibility>
             
              <appearance>
                 <field id="kb:documentRef" label-id="label.kb_documentRef" />
              </appearance>
           </form>
        </forms>
    </config>
    </alfresco-config>

knowledgebase.properties in share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\messages

    # Custom knowledge base messages
    label.kb_documentRef=KB Reference
    kb_referencable=Knowledge Base Referencable
‍‍‍‍

And I added the aspect in the aspects.get.config.xml file so that it appears in the window of dialogue " Manage Aspect ". I added:

    <aspect name="{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}referencable" />‍

The problem is, when I try to apply the aspect to a document, it return me the error message " Could not update aspect ".

For those who have already success this, is these steps that I try to add my custom aspect are correct?
What is that I missed anything?

Thank you.

another question, how to add a custom content type? The approach for the addition of a custom aspect is it valid for a custom content type?

the link of the example I tried is: http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/wabson/2010/02/25/adding-custom-aspect-support-in-alfresco-share/


thanks in advance.
