How to change 'View' within Folders

[kcrum]

2 things:

1 - want to change my "default" view of folders from "icon view" to "details view" permanently - on a user by user basis (Basically remember what I chose so that when I log back in its remembered)

2 - we added additional properties for content - I want to add those items as columns in "details view" for content - this will help better manage the content by our end users

Any ideas or suggestions or pointers to where I could find information to solve these problems would be greatly appreciated.

would be very interested in both of these items myself

For the first question I have the answer. You have to change your web-client-config-custom.xml file and add :

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
      <!– the views available in the client –>
      <views>
      <!– default values for the views available in the client –>
      <view-defaults>
         <browse>
            <!– allowable values: list|details|icons –>
            <view>details</view>
            <page-size>
               <list>10</list>
               <details>20</details>
               <icons>9</icons>
            </page-size>
         </browse>
      </view-defaults>
      </views>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

change <view>icons</view> to <view>details</view>.

For the second it's what I'm looking for

At least, say if it easy to do, or if not, why.

Hi there,

I know this post is dating a little bit but I would also be interested in finding out how to change the "content items" listing to include other fields.

Has anybody got answers on that.

thanks in advance
