URGENT HELP !!! showing the association as a hyperlink

[hey123]

Hello,
I am defining a new content type with a child content association. But, when I want to view the properties of an object of this content type, child associations are shown like  below:

Incoming Documents:      /company_home/README.txt
                                     /company_home/11111111README_mysql.txt
(not a hyperlink, just the text version of the xpath of the documents)

But I want to make these association contents (can be text or jpeg files) viewable when I click on them.

Thank you in advance,

My Model Definition:
<type name="my:iadeDosyasi">
         <title>Standard Operating Procedure</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
          <properties>
           <property name="my:EvrakNumarasi">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
</properties>
         <associations>
            <child-association name="my:gelenEvraklar">
               <source>                 
                  <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>cm:content</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </target>
            </child-association>
        </associations>
      </type>
My Web Client Configuration :
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:iadeDosyasi">
      <property-sheet>
     <show-property name="my:EvrakNumarasi" />
                  <show-child-association name="my:gelenEvraklar" display-                   label="offfff yaaa off" converter="org.alfresco.faces.DisplayPathConverter"/>
    </property-sheet>
   </config>

Hi,

You are indeed correct, the association editors do not pick up the component generator specified in config. I have raised an improvement on JIRA for this: http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-1174. So yes, it should get done in a future release.

Meanwhile, you should still be able to override this. What you'll need to do is override the managed bean definition for "ChildAssociationGenerator". You can re-define the managed bean with your class in the faces-config-custom.xml file as mentioned in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Packaging_And_Deploying_Extensions. This file is located in WEB-INF so you should be able to include this in your module. The file that is present by default is empty so it's OK to overwrite it (MyFaces needs a file to be present so we had to supply an empty one).

Hope this helps.

Hi everybody !

I'm trying to make my own model too with a chil-association rendered as a link.
However I didn't manage to make it work.

I have created my CustomNodePathGenerator, put the needed properties in the configuration files as follow (I have my own packages) :

<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>ChildAssociationGenerator</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.test.web.bean.generator.CustomNodePathGenerator</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>disabled </property-name>
<value>true</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>

In  web-client-config-custom.xml
<show-child-association name="my:auteurs" component-generator="CustomNodePathGenerator" /> ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have then created a new UIChildAssociationEditor still in my own package (com.test.web.ui.repo.component.property) with the file version of Alfresco 2.0.

In faces-config-custom.xml I have added :

<component>
      <component-type>com.euriware.test.web.bean.generator.CustomNodePathEditor</component-type>
      <component-class>com.euriware.test.web.ui.repo.component.property.UIChildAssociationEditor</component-class>
   </component>‍‍‍‍

And in web-client-config-custom.xml :

<show-child-association name="my:auteurs" component-generator="com.euriware.test.web.bean.generator.CustomNodePathGenerator"/>‍

When I run Alfresco and I try to see the details, I have the following error :

I don't understand where the problem is. Could you please help me ?

[serv]

Hello again !

I have tried to put my UIChildAssociationEditor in the web-client.jar within the WEB-INF/lib folder.
However, I still have the same error. In conclusion, the package is not the problem… Any other idea ?

[gavinc]

Does your implementation of UIChildAssociation extend BaseAssociationEditor?

The ClassCastException you are getting suggests that it's not!

[serv]

My UIChildAssociation class does actually extend BaseAssociationEditor.

I have solved my problem by adding the UIChildAssociation.class in the web-client.jar within the WEB-INF/lib folder with the right package (org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.property).
I have then modified the method generate of CustomNodePathGenerator.java as follow :

public UIComponent generate(FacesContext context, String id) {
      UIComponent component = context.getApplication().createComponent(RepoConstants.ALFRESCO_FACES_CHILD_ASSOC_EDITOR);
      FacesHelper.setupComponentId(context, component, id);
      logger.error("CustomNodePathGenerator generate "+component.toString());
      return component;
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now, it works well.
