How to define ney data type

[manuelgentile]

I have to define a custom data type (not a content type).
The content type is a pair of strings (language, content) .
How can i do this?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

As far as I'm understanding, you will have to create your own type…

You just have to set parent to sys:base instead of cm:content then you define a language property, and an association with a content.

Here's a rapid sample made of cut/paste
(may not exactly corresponds to your needs)

<type name="prefix:yourdatatypename">
         <title>sample</title>
         <parent>sys:base</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="prefix:language">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <associations>
            <child-association name="prefix:content">
          <target>
            <class>cm:content</class>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <many>false</many>
          </target>
      </child-association>
        </assocations>
</type>

NB: do not forget to import the System model.

<!– Import Alfresco Content System Model Definitions –>
         <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0" prefix="sys"/>
‍‍‍‍

Hope it helps.
