How to extend the user model?

[lista]

I'd like someone who already dealt with this to give me an advice.
How would you extend the user model, or to put it in another words, how would you add your own custom properties to the user?
Obviously, the original contentModel.xml should not be modified.

All advices are welcome.

Cheers,
Lista.

I several questions:
Maybe Alfresco Explorer has default user disabling parameter like alfresco share has?
And where I could read more or may be you could tell me more about adding that as:IsClubMember aspect action.
What I have at the moment: testUser.xml where aspects are defined (like in forum issue) and test-context.xml for registration.
That my next steps should be?

Thanks for you help

about diableing user you can do that with.

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, false);
authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, true);‍‍

What should be done to see custom aspect in person information (Alfresco Explorer)?

Thanks a lot

you go to edit user and you will see thoose, because in that dialog you have <rropertySheetGrid , witch shows all props on a node( in this case user)

I checked that part already and didn't find it. In addition to what I have done before I write custom dialog. My dialog which adds the aspect code:

NodeRef nodeRef = Application.getCurrentUser(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()).getPerson();
      
      if (!this.getNodeService().hasAspect(nodeRef,
            MyContentModel.ASPECT_INFO)) {
         Map<QName, Serializable> vInfoProps = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
         vCardProps.put(MyContentModel.PROP_1,
               this.number);

         // add the aspect to the space
            this.getNodeService().addAspect(nodeRef,
                  MyContentModel.ASPECT_INFO, vInfoProps );
            // if the above calls were successful, then reset Person Node in the session
               Application.getCurrentUser(context).reset();
      }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What I am missing?

I want to show disable user button in users.jsp Alfresco explorer only for active users. How to do that?

Thanks a lot

about diableing user you can do that with.

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, false);
authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, true);‍‍

Takes a bit of know how in order to do this.

<a:actionLink value="#{msg.modify}" image="/images/icons/edituser.gif" showLink="false" action="dialog:somedialog" actionListener="#{DialogManager.bean.setupUserAction}">
<f:param name="id" value="#{r.id}" />
</a:actionLink>‍‍‍

define your dialog and that is all, have a look how delete user is done and you fill fix this in 30min max.

I already implemented the disable action and it works fine. My question was how to show that action only for active user. I don't want to see actionLink disable if user was already disabled. Thanks in advance

[savic_prvoslav]

you can create to  have rendered="!r.disabled"
