Problem with Custom Data Lists

[lemmy]

Hi,

I was really struggling to create a custom data list in share. I was trying to implement the demo at http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2010/04/25/1156. I didn't get correctly where which file had to be deployed so I'm documenting it here for the next one… This documentation is just the first shot. You should implement it as Jeff has described it in the video. But you might not be able to do this without a first idea of what to place where.

You need to create the following files.

tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\IssuesDataList\module.properties
tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\IssuesDataList\module-context.xml
tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\IssuesDataList\messages\issues-data-list-model.properties
tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\IssuesDataList\model\issuesDataListModel.xml

tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\share\web-extension\fdk-config-custom.xml

module.properties

# module properties
module.id=IssuesDataList
#module.aliases=none
module.version=0.1
module.title=Issues Data List
module.description=Provides a custom data list type

# The following optional properties can be used to prevent the module from being added
# to inappropriate versions of the WAR file.
module.repo.version.min=3.3
#module.repo.version.max=2.1

Restart the server. You'll find the custom data list 'Issues List' in Share -> Data Lists -> New List.

Hope this help,

Lemmy, I have moved this post to the Share development Forum as I see it as a more appropriate forum that the Web Quick Start.

Hi,

I'm trying to create custom data list in Alfresco Share 3.4d.
I install alfresco alfresco-community-fdk-3.4.d.amp and alfresco-fdk-3.4.d.jar like tutorials describe http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Development_Kit#Examples
Then I copy the files that we can find in the example http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=38553
If I want to create a new dataList into site, appear a new list "issue data list" and I can create one.
That's it's ok so far.
But if I try to create one item for my new list, appear a popUp with this error:

Could not load dialog template from '/share/service/components/form?itemKind=type&itemId=scidl:issuesList&destination=workspace://SpacesStore/a5b0223f-7948-47be-95a0-7c4edb284e47&mode=create&submitType=json&showCancelButton=true'.‍

Some idea?

Thanks in advance
