How do I change the display name for an aspect?

[grauenwolf]

This is my aspect:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<model name="ac:androidContent" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
   <description>Android Content Model</description>

            <property name="ac:propNotificationSummary">

   </aspects>
</model>

In Alfresco Share then name is "aspect.ac_androidContentProps". How do I change that to something that is friendly?

Hello,

you need to provide a message bundle (*.properties with human readable labels) to Share. Will Abson describes this (among other things) in his Guide to add custom aspects to Share.

That didn't work for me.


acandroidContent.properties

ac_androidContent.aspect.ac_androidContentProps=Android Content
aspect.ac_androidContentProps=Android Content
‍‍‍‍

myexample-model-context.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
  <bean id="example.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
    <property name="models">
      <list>
        <value>alfresco/extension/myModel.xml</value>
        <value>alfresco/extension/acandroidContent.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
    <property name="labels">
      <list>
        <value>alfresco/extension/mymodel</value>
        <value>alfresco/extension/acandroidContent</value>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean>
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

P.S. I see that my friendly name for the aspect is showing up when I create a new folder rule. It is when I am directly applying the aspect to an item that it uses the ugly name.

[mitpatoliya]

have you registered your property file.
I think in your context file you need to have entry for that as well.

[afaust]

Your configuration only applies to labels on the Repository tier - you need to provide custom aspect label properties in Share as well.

Taken from the link to Will Absons post I provided earlier:

1) Define an additional message bundle (in Share Tomcat /shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/custom-slingshot-application-context.xml)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>

   <!– Add XY messages –>
   <bean id="webscripts.xy.resources" class="org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">
      <property name="resourceBundles">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco.messages.XY</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2) Create a XY.properties file in your Share Tomcat (assuming you follow best practice of separating Share and Repository) /shared/classes/alfresco/messages folder that contains your aspect label

aspect.kb_referencable=Knowledge Base Referencable
