Hi

I would like to replace the content of the Created column and Last Modified column in all the view modes of Alfresco Explorer. My custom model have custom properties which contain the real created date and last modified date of the documents. I looked at  /jsp/browse/browse.jsp and found out  #{r.created} and #{r.modified} are used to display the default cm:content properties.

Is there a way to replace them by my custom model properties? I tried #{DialogManager.bean.document.myCustomCreatedDate} but it throws a nullPointerException.

Thank you

well ethan, you must override Browsebean to do this.

   <managed-bean>
      <description>The bean that holds folder browse state.</description>
      <managed-bean-name>BrowseBean</managed-bean-name>
      <managed-bean-class>org.alfresco.docassistent.CustomBrowseBean</managed-bean-class>
      <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>navigator</property-name>
         <value>#{NavigationBean}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>nodeService</property-name>
         <value>#{NodeService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>searchService</property-name>
         <value>#{SearchService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>lockService</property-name>
         <value>#{LockService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>dictionaryService</property-name>
         <value>#{DictionaryService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>fileFolderService</property-name>
         <value>#{FileFolderService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>userPreferencesBean</property-name>
         <value>#{UserPreferencesBean}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>multilingualContentService</property-name>
         <value>#{MultilingualContentService}</value>
      </managed-property>
   </managed-bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

put this inside faces-config-custom.xml and replace my class with yours. customBrowseBean should extend BrowseBean.

most easyest way is to override Browsebean and method   public List<Node> getContent() to add  prop resolover to each node like node.addPropertyResolver("url", this.resolverLinkUrl); (you can see how is tone in method queryBrowseNodes).

your prop resolover would look like this.

 public NodePropertyResolver resolverFileType16 = new NodePropertyResolver() {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = -2690520488415178029L;

      public Object get(Node node) {
         return nodeservice.getProperty(NodeRef nodeRef,
                                                             QName qname);
      }
   };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

time to do this is max 10 minutes.
