Modifying 'Content Type' under Add Content Dialog

[pxavier76]

Hi

I intend to add specific file types not available in the "Content Type" list
under the 'add content dialog" in the web client. My first question is - how can we add custom file types to this list and second question - how to link
an application to the file type so that when the "edit" action is clicked the
application will automatically open/read the file.


Thanks

That depends on your application and the webbrowser, if it is setup correctly that it should work. I.e. My .doc files open in Microsoft Word by default.

Thanks,

I have same problem, Alfresco opens and read my Visio documents but when i try to edit it only opens for reading.  :cry:

This is how my custum code for Visio mime type looks like.

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Mimetype Map">     <mimetypes>       <mimetype display="Microsoft Visio"         mimetype="application/vnd.visio">         <extension>vsd</extension>       </mimetype>     </mimetypes>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I am using webdav to open documents when edit.

    <config>       <client>          <!– the type of edit link to use, NOTE: inline editable will always take precedence –>          <!– can be: http|webdav|cifs –>          <edit-link-type>webdav</edit-link-type>       </client>    </config> ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think opening in "edit" mode only works in IE and then only for some office doc types.
