How to show custom content model fields on browse.jsp

rluberti

Hi all,

I've created a new custom content model (Alfresco CE 2.1.0) and it works, but I'd like to show some of those new fields on the standard "Content Items" section of a space.
Can I modify browse.jsp to do it? how?

thanks in advance,

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

You can use a custom template view as defined at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide

how can I access the property "my:fifDate" ?

thanks again,

For that, the best reference can be found in your install under Company Home > Space Templates > Presentation Templates. Just checkout what's packaged by default.

Included below is a more complex example that comes with the Records Management module:

<#– Records Report - Template to apply to a records space to report on status of records –>

rluberti

thanks , your suggestion worked!!!

here is the code that works with my model posted before:

<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">

<#list space.children as child>
      <#if child.isDocument>
    
       <tr>
          <td><b>${child.name}</b></td>

          <td><b>${child.properties["my:fifDate"]?date}</b></td>

       </tr>
     </#if>

   </#list>

</table>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also found that it can be done extending BrowseBean, it will be my next experiment…..

have you created the "context file" that references the custom content file?

here is the example:

custom_model_context.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
 
<beans>

    <!– Registration of new models –>   
    <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/custom_content.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
          
</beans>
