Custom metadata in document list

defty

I've made the necessary changes to get my custom metadata to display on the edit and document details screens, but I really need it to show in the document library/list view. I cant find any info on how to add it to here so could someone could point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Thank you!

I'm trying to do that (still with not great success, cause I'm new to that) changing the file:

Slingshot/source/web/components/documentlibrary/documentlist.js

next to line 979 you can find this part of js code:

                  
if (record.custom && record.custom.isWorkingCopy)
                  {
                     /**
                      * Working Copy
                      */
                     desc += '<div class="detail">';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.editing-started.on") + '</em> ' + Alfresco.util.formatDate(record.modifiedOn) + '</span>';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.editing-started.by") + '</em> <a href="' + Alfresco.DocumentList.generateUserProfileUrl(record.modifiedByUser) + '">' + $html(record.modifiedBy) + '</a></span>';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.size") + '</em> ' + Alfresco.util.formatFileSize(record.size) + '</span>';
                     desc += '</div><div class="detail">';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.description") + '</em> ' + $links($html(description)) + '</span>';
                     desc += '</div>';
                  }
                  else
                  {
                     /**
                      * Non-Working Copy
                      */
                     desc += '<div class="detail">';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.modified.on") + '</em> ' + Alfresco.util.formatDate(record.modifiedOn) + '</span>';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.modified.by") + '</em> <a href="' + Alfresco.DocumentList.generateUserProfileUrl(record.modifiedByUser) + '">' + $html(record.modifiedBy) + '</a></span>';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.version") + '</em> ' + record.version + '</span>';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.size") + '</em> ' + Alfresco.util.formatFileSize(record.size) + '</span>';
                     desc += '</div><div class="detail">';
                     desc += '<span class="item"><em>' + scope.msg("details.description") + '</em> ' + $links($html(description)) + '</span>';
                     desc += '</div>';

Changing the desc string you can change the composition of each element listed in the document library. The object record should have all you need to show.
I try with

record.properties["MyCustomProperty"]‍

but I doesn't work for me… but I'm quite sure I'm close to make it works…

Hope this help.

Let me know if u can obtain better results then me.

Cheers

Thanks Woody for your post!

I have found a solution for this problem, but I think it is not a clean way to get the metadata shown in documentlist. The record Object doesn't contain the metadata, so I have extended the record object with all metadata I want to display in the documentlist.
I extended the file item.lib.ftl in /alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary with my metadata records, see example below.

   <#if node.hasAspect("my:customAspect")>
      "aspectname": "my:customAspect",
      "myField": "${node.properties["{http://namespaceofAscpect}myField"]}",
   </#if>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then I changed the file documentlist.js near row 1251 in /share/components/documentlibrary/documentlist.js. Here I added my new datafields aspectname and myField in the field list.

         this.widgets.dataSource.responseSchema =
         {
            resultsList: "items",
            fields:
            [
               "nodeRef", "nodeType", "type", "isFolder", "isLink", "mimetype", "fileName", "displayName", "status", "title", "description",
               "createdOn", "createdBy", "createdByUser", "modifiedOn", "modifiedBy", "modifiedByUser", "lockedBy", "lockedByUser",
               "version", "size", "contentUrl", "actionSet", "tags", "aspectname", "myField", "categories", "activeWorkflows", 
            "isFavourite", "location", "permissions", "custom", "actionLabels", "onlineEditUrl"
            ],
            metaFields:
            {
               paginationRecordOffset: "startIndex",
               totalRecords: "totalRecords"
            }
         };
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now I changed the data display for example in the Simple View of the documentlist near row 967.

                 /**
                   * Simple View
                  **/
                  desc += '<div class="detail"><span class="item-simple"><em>' + scope.msg("details.modified.on") + '</em> ' +       Alfresco.util.formatDate(record.modifiedOn, "dd mmmm yyyy") + '</span>';
                  desc += '<span class="item-simple"><em>' + scope.msg("details.by") + '</em> <a href="' + Alfresco.DocumentList.generateUserProfileUrl(record.modifiedByUser) + '">' + $html(record.modifiedBy) + '</a></span></div>';
        desc += '<div class="detail">';
        if (record.aspectname == "my:customAspect"){
              desc += '<span class="item-simple"><em>' + scope.msg("details.myField") + '</em> ' + record.myField + '</span>';
              desc += '</div>'
               }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps you to!

Bye
