Web form as a custom content type

[preetigupta]

Hi,
I have to capture some metadata for every web form created. For that I would have to create a custom content type. I have created a custom type and done the configuration in web-client-config-custom.xml. I can see the new custom content type in the drop down when I create a web form. But I cannot see the associated properties with that content type.

Is there any other configuration I need to do to achieve the same.

Thanks and Regards

You have to configure the property sheet section in the same configuration file that you have just edited, in this way:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I think I have done what you have suggested. Though not sure. Please take a look and let me know, what I am missing.

web-client-config-custom.xml

<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
      <content-types>
         <type name="sc:wcmdoc" />
      </content-types>
  </config>
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="sc:wcmdoc">
      <property-sheet>       
         <show-property name="sc:wcmcampaign" display-label-id="Campaign"
                        ignore-if-missing="false" />        
      </property-sheet>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

Now when I create a web form in web project in WCM, I can see my custom type in drop down but I dont see the property on the property sheet.
