changing 'add content' logic

hi,

I need to change the "add content" logic in a way that after uploading a file, Alfresco will skip the dialog with the general properties and go directly to the extended properties dialog (titled: "Modify Content Properties").

I'll try to simplify my task - when pressing the "upload" button - Alfresco will not show the "file was uploaded successfully" message and the rest of this page, but navigate directly to the "Modify Content Properties" page

I checked AddContentDialog.java and add-content-dialog.jsp files, but could not find the logic that calls this page….

what should i do to achieve  this?
:?:  :?:  :?:

thanks,

Dror

It's the doPostCommitProcessing() method in AddContentDialog that decides whether the properties page is shown or not at the end.

The problem with what your suggesting is that currently the file upload is done in a different form (than the one the main page is using), this is the reason for the 2 step process i.e. file is uploaded then outer form is posted with general properties.

A potential solution is to make the page auto submit when it returns from uploading the file i.e. inside the

<% if (fileUploaded) { %>‍

section in the JSP.
