wiki example not working in web client

[billmce]

My frustration with customizing Alfresco continues – this is a time vampire.

I'm following the instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide which I believe are current.
I downloaded the sample file and installed it and followed the rest of the instructions which seemed clear.
The instructions to  expose custom Content Types and Aspects (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Displaying_Custom_Metadata) are less clear.  This is what I came up with … I'm expecting to be able to see my custom aspects in the web client … but I cannot.

Any hints?  This is really frustrating.

I should add that the content type doesn't show up under content either and that the log file shows no warnings or error with everything appearing to load fine.

Could put the log?
Maybe the custom model was dont update correctly in Alfresco.

hi
while creating your own custom model then creating each file is important.
you have given your model name as <model name="my:mynewmodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
but the model name should also mentioned in that model file it is very necessary.so it is good to create custom model with the help of alfresco sdk and eclipse.after creating your custom model deploy that.please refer jeff potts book for further information.
