Search custom properties of a custom aspect (Simple Search)

[biersen]

Hi all,

How can I search (on simple search) for custom properties of a custom aspect? I tried this:

mymodel.xml

<namespaces>   <namespace uri="http://www.myapp.com/model/content/1.0" prefix="myprefix" /></namespaces><types>   <type name="myprefix:mytype">      <title>My Type</title>      <parent>myprefix:mygenerictype</parent>   <property name="myprefix:mytypeproperty">         <title>TypeProperty</title>         <type>d:text</type>         <protected>false</protected>         <mandatory>false</mandatory>         <multiple>false</multiple>         <index enabled="true">                        <atomic>false</atomic>                        <stored>false</stored>                        <tokenised>true</tokenised>                     </index>      </property>      <mandatory-aspects>         <aspect>myprefix:myaspect</aspect>                  </mandatory-aspects>   </type></types><aspects>   <aspect name="myprefix:myaspect">      <title>My Aspect</title>      <properties>         <property name="myprefix:myaspectproperty">            <title>AspectProperty</title>            <type>d:text</type>            <protected>false</protected>            <mandatory>false</mandatory>            <multiple>false</multiple>            <index enabled="true">                           <atomic>false</atomic>                           <stored>false</stored>                           <tokenised>true</tokenised>                        </index>         </property>      </properties>   </aspect></aspects>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

web-client-config-custom.xml

<config>      <client>         <simple-search-additional-attributes>            <qname>{http://www.myapp.com/model/content/1.0}mytypeproperty</qname>                <qname>{http://www.myapp.com/model/content/1.0}myaspectproperty</qname>                <qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description</qname>                <qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}title</qname>                <qname>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}author</qname>         </simple-search-additional-attributes>      </client>   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So, when I search (simple search) for title, description and mytypeproperty, the search is ok and I get correct results. But, when I try search for myaspectproperty, the search not work. I tried add  <qname>{http://www.myapp.com/model/content/1.0}myaspect</qname> but I've the same problem.
It is possible to search for custom properties of custom aspects? What i'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

I believe it has to be like the following for mentioning CustomField for Search ability.

{mycustommodel.model}mycustomfield‍

Hey guys,

I want the same thing, i created a custom aspects for SHARE that works fine
using these directions

http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/wabson/2010/02/25/adding-custom-aspect-support-in-alfresco-share/‍

and now i want to be able to see the results of my custom properties on search, i use 3.3G but any direction would be excellent.
Regards,
Kyriakos

AlfrescFoes Please help !

I made a custom aspect from this

http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/wabson/2010/02/25/adding-custom-aspect-support-in-alfresco-share/#comme...‍

Steps
1) kb-model.xml in extension folder

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'><beans>    <!– Registration of new models –>    <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">        <property name="models">            <list>                <value>alfresco/extension/kb-model.xml</value>            </list>        </property>    </bean></beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2)kb-model.xml in extension folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!– Definition of new Model –><!– The important part here is the name - Note: the use of the my: namespace     which is defined further on in the document –><model name="kb:knowledgebase" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>   <description>Knowledge Base Model</description>   <author>Sarris Kyriakos</author>   <version>1.0</version>   <!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>   <imports>        <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>      <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>   </imports>   <!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>   <!– NOTE: The following namespace my.new.model should be changed to reflect your own namespace –>   <namespaces>      <namespace uri="http://www.alfresco.com/model/knowledgebase/1.0" prefix="kb"/>   </namespaces>    <aspects>      <!– Definition of new Content Aspect: Knowledge Base Document –>      <aspect name="kb:referencable">         <title>Knowledge Base Referencable</title>         <properties>            <property name="kb:documentRef">               <type>d:text</type>    <mandatory>true</mandatory>                  <index enabled="true">                  <atomic>false</atomic>                  <stored>true</stored>                   <tokenised>false</tokenised>                  </index>            </property>         </properties>      </aspect>   </aspects></model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

3) i configured share-config-custom.xml in web-extension folder

<alfresco-config>   <!– Document Library config section –>   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">      <!–         Used by the "Manage Aspects" action         For custom aspects, remember to also add the relevant i18n string(s)            cm_myaspect=My Aspect      –>      <aspects>         <!– Aspects that a user can see –>         <visible>            <aspect name="cm:generalclassifiable" />            <aspect name="cm:complianceable" />            <aspect name="cm:dublincore" />            <aspect name="cm:effectivity" />            <aspect name="cm:summarizable" />            <aspect name="cm:versionable" />            <aspect name="cm:templatable" />            <aspect name="cm:emailed" />            <aspect name="emailserver:aliasable" />            <aspect name="cm:taggable" />            <aspect name="app:inlineeditable" />            <aspect name="kb:referencable" />         </visible>         <!– Aspects that a user can add.

4) i create custom-slingshot-application-context.xml in web-extension folder

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'><beans>   <!– Override WebScript Messages - add slingshot application messages –>   <bean id="webscripts.resources" class="org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">      <property name="resourceBundles">         <list>            <value>webscripts.messages.webscripts</value>            <value>alfresco.messages.common</value>            <value>alfresco.messages.slingshot</value>            <value>alfresco.web-extension.messages.knowledgebase</value>         </list>      </property>   </bean></beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

5)I created knowledgebase.properties in messages folder

# Custom knowledge base messageslabel.kb_documentRef=KB Referencekb_referencable=Knowledge Base Referencable‍‍‍

Am i doing something wrong in this, and i can't search the custom property?
Or do i need to configure another file? I am using Alfresco 3.3G ( nightly built ) but any answer from any version is appreciated
Thanks,
Kyriakos

Hello,

just a message to up this topic because i can't find the answer. Like everyone i created custom model that works fine but i can't search on my metadata so it's sort of useless. I hope someone know how to do that and share it with me.

Thanks in advance.

Now i want this search work on share but i have no clues. I modify this 2 document by the Explorer interface : Company Home > Data Dictionary > Models for the model and Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Client Extension  for the web client. So maybe it doesnt extend the capacities in share. Nevertheless, i can see my metadatas in share.

If someone has an idea now I would be grateful.

Hi everyone…

I'm not able to search in custom model by WebServices. I've tried everything I could find, but I'm getting no results or getting some kind of error…

Does anyone knows a web page or something like that which exposes the way to find out the content using custom properties by Web Services?

[supalucas]

Share simple search only searches following default cm properties

names, titles, descriptions, comments, and content

If you wish to add your custom properties into this list, you have to modify the search webscript on the repository tier.
