Share not displaying custom aspect.

mangar

I have created a custom aspect,  and it's working fine.  My problem is in the share-config-custom.  So for the standard DocumetLibrary evaluator I have this:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  ....
  <aspects>
    <addable /> <!-- defaults to visible config -->
    <removeable /> <!-- defaults to visible config -->
  </aspects>
</config>

And when I go and click "Manage Aspects" in the repo browser,  it looks like all availabe aspects are listed, except of course, mine.

I can add it specifically like this:

        <aspects>
			<visible>
				<aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />  
			</visible>
			<addable> 
				<aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
			</addable>
			<removeable>
				<aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
			</removeable>			
        </aspects>

But then that is the ONLY aspect in the list.  

Is there a way to do both?  Or am I going to have to manually add all the aspects?

I see typo in your config, it should be "removable" instead of "removeable". Your approach seems correct but here are some additional details.

The default ootb config for DocumentLibrary is:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  <aspects>
     <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="cm:geographic" />
        <aspect name="exif:exif" />
        <aspect name="audio:audio" />
        <aspect name="cm:indexControl" />
        <aspect name="dp:restrictable" />
     </visible>

     <addable>
     </addable>

     <removeable>
     </removeable>
  </aspects>

..
</config>

When you are adding your custom aspects, make sure no where 'replace="true"' is set in either your custom module or at '/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/' level.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">..</config>

If above setting is set, out of the box configuration will get replaced. 

To keep ootb aspects and your custom aspects together. You can (read the comments):

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  <aspects>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can see in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "has-aspect" action condition.
	-->
	<visible>
		<aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
	</visible>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can add in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "add-features" action.
	  Same as "visible" if left empty.
	-->
	<addable>
           <aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
	</addable>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can remove in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "remove-features" action.
	  Same as "visible" if left empty
	-->
	<removable>
            <aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
	</removable>
  </aspects>

</config>

OR

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  <aspects>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can see in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "has-aspect" action condition.
	-->
	<visible>
		<aspect name="damsasp:adHoc" />
	</visible>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can add in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "add-features" action.
	  Same as "visible" if left empty.
	-->
	<addable>
	</addable>
	<!--
	  Aspects that a user can remove in UI.
	  Used by Rules, aspects are the listed aspects for rule's "remove-features" action.
	  Same as "visible" if left empty
	-->
	<removable>
	</removable>
  </aspects>

</config>

Try fixing your config and see if it works.
