Making a view permanent

[goodguy]

by default each time when I open the web client, alfresco uses the Icon view.  How can I default it to Detail View?

Thank you.

You can configure the default view.

Have a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Configuration_Guide for information on where to find web-client-config-custom.xml.

You need to add the following XML to the file to get what you want:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
   <views>
      <view-defaults>
         <browse>
            <view>details</view>
         </browse>
      </view-default>
   </views>
</config>

Is it possible to set the default view on a space by space basis? If so, how would I do this?

Thanks,
Joshua

No, you can't set the default view on a space by space basis at the moment.

Tried this and it didn't work.

Code is slightly incorrect, note the typo on the second view-defaults tag.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Views">
        <views>
           <view-defaults>
              <browse>
                 <view>details</view>
              </browse>
           </view-defaults>
        </views>
     </config>
