Custom Categories at bootstrap

[bbougon]

Hello,

I do have a problem with my custom categories defined at bootstrap.
The problem is not in the definition itself (or maybe yes), it's in the use of category when categorizing a content in Share.

Let me explain :
1 - I have created a custom-import-export-context.xml in which one I tell to get the xml containing my categories
2 - when bootstrapping, everything goes fine and when looking in Share the categories, all of them are in the right place

So the problem is as follow :
When uploading a content and giving it a category, I may see the dialog box working properly, the category is well affected to the content. But when I click on the category'slink, the category seems to be empty.
In fact there is a problem with the link generated for the category. Looking at the links given on the top of the dictionnary instead of getting a link looking like :
Racine> Activites> Centre d'appel
I do have a link looking like :
Racine> categories> MBS> Activites> Centre d'appel
And of course it shows an empty category as it doesn't exist.

Two more things
- when using the tree category on left, everything works perfectly.
- when using the default alfresco categories.xml, everything works perfectly.

here is my categories.xml :

<view:view xmlns:view="http://www.alfresco.org/view/repository/1.0"
   xmlns:sys="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0" xmlns:cm="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0">

   <cm:category_root view:childName="cm:categoryRoot">

      <cm:categories>

Hello,

I don't believe what I'm going to say but it seems (and tell me if I am wrong) that the cm:name "General" is a reserved word. I thought I could may change it at will and in fact NO!

so I turned (see below) the "MBS" keyword onto "General" and it worked perfectly :

<view:view xmlns:view="http://www.alfresco.org/view/repository/1.0"
   xmlns:sys="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0" xmlns:cm="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0">

   <cm:category_root view:childName="cm:categoryRoot">
      <cm:name>categories</cm:name>
      <cm:categories>

         <!– Software Document Classification –>
         <cm:category view:childName="cm:generalclassifiable">
            <cm:name>[color=#FF0000]MBS[/color]</cm:name>[color=#FF0000] <!– CHANGE TO General –>[/color]
            <cm:subcategories>

thx

Yes, sorry - there's a string replace going on to remove those first two levels.

That could be done better - I'll take a look.

Thanks,
Mike

No problem Mike, maybe just update the doc about custom metadatas

thanks
