Overrides

[yannicks]

Hello,

Can anybody explain me how to use this option?
I try to override the cm:name of a folder in a subtype.
And i don't know which terms to use inside the structure…

I really need help thanks for your help

Here is my example structure

<type name ="my:customFolder">
  <title>my custom folder</title>
  <parent>cm:folder</parent>
  <properties>
    <property name="my:folderName>
      <constraints>
        <constraint ref="my:constraint">
      </constraints>
    </property>
  </properties>
  <overrides>
    <propertyOverrides>
      <property name="cm:name"/>
    </propertyOverrides>
  </overrides>
</type>

Hi,

Have you checked the Wiki and associated links?

Sure, i forget to say that i searched wiki, forums and the web

Maybe i missed something but i don't think! I made a search about "propertyOverrides" "overrides" etc.

And nothing about how to use the overrides part…

Thanks,

Yannick

An example:

 <type>
   …
  <overrides>

                <property name="cm:name">
                    <default>fred</default>
                </property>

  </overrides>
   …
 </type>

You must override a property that already exists in the parent hierarchy.  You can override the default value, whether it's mandatory (only make it mandatory, not optional), and constraints.

I really thank you! It works now…

My fault was that in the schema there is

<propertyOverrides>
…
</propertyOverrides>
‍‍‍‍‍

and this is useless!

Thanks for your help!
