Hi all,

Is it possible to add properties to existing content type (such as cm:content / cm:folder)? And how to do it?

Best Regards,
Peter

Not advisable.
You can create Custom Type or Custom Aspect and then define properties

Thanks for your quick reply!

Do I need to write any programming codes to create my custom content type? Actually, I'm a new bible to use Alfresco, I don't know how to do it at all…

Hi Peter
You dont need to write programming.
You need to do editing in few XML files
Please refer "http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series"
When I started Alfresco Custom type exploration few months back, I did not knew anything, going through the book and article made my concepts clear
Thanks

I've followed the instructions from ecmarchitect.com and success to create my custom content type, thanks for your great help!

After that, I've tried to use JCR API to query the file which created with my custom content type, seems no matching result… Any ideas about that?

Best Regards,
Peter

I have not used API
But to I know that to display the Custom Type and Properites you need to change /modify "share-config-custom.xml" , It is mentioned in the book, Did you check it
Thanks
