Hello there, I am trying to add a dynamic content type

This is my type

Its supposed to be a content model called alunos, that has several text fields ( and some date ones) .
What am I doing wrong? Everytime I try to load it up onto data dictionary models it gives me a parsing error.

Any help would be welcomed since I am pretty new at this and might have interpreted the wiki tutorials wrong.

You need to post the contents of the "parsing error" for anyone to be able to help.

Just a casual inspection you have use "my:alunos" for a model and also a type.   That could be a problem.

The error was literally this one.

I have? I thought that you had to define the model and the first type with the same name.
I will try to change the name then.


changed the type alunos, to osalunos

this is the new error.

Your XML is badly formed,  are missing a closing </type>

I have seen this error when there is a conflict in the namespace definition. Essentially, only one file in your system can have "my:" as the namespace identifier. Do you have more than one file with that prefix?

The parser is notoriously bad for providing useful feedback. It reminds me of using assembler on very old, very small mini-computers, and debugging them from the front panel switches.

One approach that might help is to strip down the entire file to one property and one aspect and trying to get it to be accepted. Once it is, keep adding properties until you trip on the error.

[miguel_martins]

Thank you, thats a really nice suggestion.
I changed the code to this, it loads up.

How do I apply this content to a new file? So that I am presented with the properties to fill out in the metadata?

[miguel_martins]

I managed to load up everything onto the model folder, and activate the model, I was expecting for it to show on the create document bit, as an option to add "Os alunos", however nothing shows there, how do one properly add a dynamical model into use so that it appears?

edit: I tried adding its data to the file web-client-config-custom.xml, but it didnt work.

<alfresco-config>

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="mgo:alunos">
   <property-sheet>
      <show-property name="mimetype"
        display-label-id="content_type"

      <show-property name="size"
        display-label-id="size"

I guess it doesnt work because it would be the process to add the model non dinamically, what should I do to activate the content in order to be able to create files?

[invictus9]

I presume that you have done some reading on Dynamic Content Types? You need to enable the model once you have uploaded it.

As well, the web-client-config-custom.xml has to be installed in the appropriate place, and enabled. If it is in your extensions/ directory, it will be enabled at Alfresco restart time. If it is in your Data Dictionary/Web Client space, then you need to 'reload' the configuration using the web client configuration console. This is described in the custom content type wiki page as well.

[miguel_martins]

I think i was doing it wrong, for I was putting the xml into the data dictionary/models directory and editing the phisical file in the extensions folder.
I didnt knew I could add it on data dictionary/web client.

The edit to the phisical file to add it and the restart isnt working tho, the content type simply doesnt appear on the drop down menu to select.
I will now try out the other method and update this post as soon as I do it.

edit:
it doesnt show, am I writing the code well? Am I making any mistake that might prevent it from being read?
