Modifying User profile model and Site model for Share

[michalwrobel]

1) I need to modify user profile model and add appropriate editor/ output text field for this data to alfresco share profile panel.

I guess type responsible for user metadata is stored in cmerson in

http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/repository/config/alf...

file.

Is it appropriate to modify content model as described here?:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Modifying_an_Alfresco_Content_Model

It is said it's not recommended, do you see better way to do this?

How is it possible to develop appropriate alfresco share gui modifications? (to add a field and editor)
Can you give me any start point?

And just because I'm curious - where are stored user passwords, because I don't see them in model?



2 ) Second aspect needed is to modify Site metadata, again I need 2 more fields.
It's more complicated to me, I discovered that Site folders have the same content type (cm:folder) as the other, and there are no such fields as 'url name' , 'type' or 'visibility'. So I guess Share specific metadata is stored elsewhere than in main content model and joined someway with normal folder.
Where is it, and how to modify it?

What is the best approach to modifying pop up windows such as 'create site' and other like them in share?

1) The following topic discusses how you can extend the user model without modifying the original Alfresco contentModel.xml http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20970

For share modifiactions, have a look at the official docs here: http://docs.alfresco.com/3.4/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.Enterprise_3_4_0.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fdev-S...

2) For the site modification maybe you can use the same technic as above with the user aspect? If you look at the st:site in siteModel.xml the url field seems to correspond to the inherited (from cm:folder) cm:name property, the name is the cm:title-property. There is as well a st:siteVisibility property.
