customProperties for sites

tgmweb

Hi.

I can see there are some custom properties available for sites. The site webscript:

<#if site.customProperties?size != 0>
      "customProperties" :
      {
         <#list site.customProperties?keys as prop>
            "${prop}" : 
            {
               "name" : "${prop}",
               "value" : "${site.customProperties[prop].value?string}",
               "type" : "${site.customProperties[prop].type}",
               "title" : "${site.customProperties[prop].title}"
            }
            <#if prop_has_next>,</#if>
         </#list>   
      },
   </#if>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

How do I create these custom properties in my webscripts?

no-one knows how to use these custom properties?

They're built from properties on the site node having the {http://www.alfresco.org/model/sitecustomproperty/1.0} namespace ("stcp:" in short qname form).

They're currently unused, which is why nobody's replied - I suspect you're the only person outside of Alfresco to have found them!

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

When you say they're "unused", does that mean I can't use them?

At the moment I have a seperate database to store my site metadata (address, phone number etc) - but that's a bit lame, and it's the *only* thing in my seperate database! So I'd really like to bring this meta into alfresco.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom.

Hi Mike,
What's the excat mean "unused"?
Does 3.3 will support that? or currently, can we do something to fit our requirements?

mikeh

By "unused" I mean the Site Service supports them, but no code uses them yet.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,

I still don't get one point about this topic: can I add custom properties to a site within the create-site webscript, somehow?

I tried to add a "customProperties" map to the clientResponse in create-site.post.json.js but data isn't saved at all.

In the Alfresco Java code I can see that in the SiteServiceTest class, custom properties are added for a site with this code:

        // Create a site with a custom property
        SiteInfo siteInfo = this.siteService.createSite("testPreset", "mySiteWithCustomProperty2", "testTitle", "testDescription", SiteVisibility.PUBLIC);
        NodeRef siteNodeRef = siteInfo.getNodeRef();
        Map<QName, Serializable> properties = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(1);
        properties.put(QName.createQName(SiteModel.SITE_CUSTOM_PROPERTY_URL, "additionalInformation"), "information");
        this.nodeService.addAspect(siteNodeRef, QName.createQName(SiteModel.SITE_MODEL_URL, "customSiteProperties"), properties);
        this.createdSites.add("mySiteWithCustomProperty2");
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

How can I put the same properties within webscripts?

Thank you for any help…
