How to extend the user model?

lista

I'd like someone who already dealt with this to give me an advice.
How would you extend the user model, or to put it in another words, how would you add your own custom properties to the user?
Obviously, the original contentModel.xml should not be modified.

All advices are welcome.

Cheers,
Lista.

true, you can create aspect and add it to person on adding it .
but if you really need to change model, just change it but pay attention latter when you ugrade alfresco .

richard_im

This has been done in the past, but as the previous poster notes, you would need to add it to the contentModel.xml or using aspects.

Whichever route you take, you would need to modify the various user specific pages in /alfresco and /share. For /share, you would also need to add addtional java classes for the userbean.

But, this is also dependent on how you are going to use this additional model data.

lista

Thank you both for your answers.

I think I'll be using a combination of aspects and associations.
In addition to all the properties I need, aspect will also hold an association to the 'original user'. These two will form a 'new user', with all the necessary properties.

This way, I don't need to touch the original model. And since I'm using Alfresco as a repository, richard.im's remarks about specific pages are not of importance.

Cheers,
Lista.

Right. Also, I think the conventional way is to put your customisations in the "extensions" folder. (There are two extensions folders; find the one in sub-directory under Tomcat.) http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Step-By-Step:_Creating_A_Custom_Model See #3: "Making the new content model file available to the Alfresco container as an extension." This way you don't have to worry about conflicts with the original model, and you don't have to worry when upgrading Alfresco.

Cheers

Hi, may be you could tell me how to add aspect to alfresco user (3.3 version)?
It will be two different aspects and I should be able to limit user search using them. Any ideas how to do that?
I will really appreciate any help, because I am really limited in time resources.
Thanks

savic_prvoslav

can you send me specs on aspects and I will provide you with needed modifications.

inocka

It will be something like:

<aspects>
       <aspect name="as:IsClubMember">
         <title>Club member info</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="as:memberCode">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="as:validTill">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
      <aspect name="as:HasAccsess">
         <title>Access to sistem</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="as:Enabled">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
   </aspects>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

All users, if they want to provide their club member info, should have possibility to add as:IsClubMember aspect.
Admin user should have possibility to set as:HasAccsess to the user.

Hope it helps you to answer my question ASAP.

savic_prvoslav

ok so

All users, if they want to provide their club member info, should have possibility to add as:IsClubMember aspect.

This is first problem because user can not add aspect on him self, so you have to use runAs part for this.
javadoc on runas you have hire

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=alfresco+runas

click on third result .

Admin user should have possibility to set as:HasAccsess to the user.

this is not a problem. just add action in userlist":\jsp\users\users.jsp

and last how to add aspect on a user example.

 Map<QName,Serializable> auditableProps = 
        new HashMap<QName,Serializable>();
      auditableProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_CREATOR, blog.getCreator());
      auditableProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_CREATED, blog.getCreated());
      auditableProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIER, blog.getModifier());
      auditableProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIED, blog.getModified());
      nodeService.addAspect(
        profileRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_AUDITABLE, auditableProps);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

hope it helps!

inocka

Thanks for quick answer. I'll write if I'll have problems.

inocka

I several questions:
Maybe Alfresco Explorer has default user disabling parameter like alfresco share has?
And where I could read more or may be you could tell me more about adding that as:IsClubMember aspect action.
What I have at the moment: testUser.xml where aspects are defined (like in forum issue) and test-context.xml for registration.
That my next steps should be?

Thanks for you help

savic_prvoslav

about diableing user you can do that with.

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, false);
authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, true);‍‍

inocka

What should be done to see custom aspect in person information (Alfresco Explorer)?

Thanks a lot

savic_prvoslav

you go to edit user and you will see thoose, because in that dialog you have <r

ropertySheetGrid , witch shows all props on a node( in this case user)

inocka

I checked that part already and didn't find it. In addition to what I have done before I write custom dialog. My dialog which adds the aspect code:

NodeRef nodeRef = Application.getCurrentUser(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()).getPerson();
      
      if (!this.getNodeService().hasAspect(nodeRef,
            MyContentModel.ASPECT_INFO)) {
         Map<QName, Serializable> vInfoProps = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
         vCardProps.put(MyContentModel.PROP_1,
               this.number);

         // add the aspect to the space
            this.getNodeService().addAspect(nodeRef,
                  MyContentModel.ASPECT_INFO, vInfoProps );
            // if the above calls were successful, then reset Person Node in the session
               Application.getCurrentUser(context).reset();
      }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What I am missing?

inocka

Thanks,
I found that <config evaluator="aspect-name" … part was missing. Thanks everyone

inocka

I want to show disable user button in users.jsp Alfresco explorer only for active users. How to do that?

Thanks a lot

about diableing user you can do that with.

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, false);
authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(userName, true);‍‍

savic_prvoslav

Takes a bit of know how in order to do this.

<a:actionLink value="#{msg.modify}" image="/images/icons/edituser.gif" showLink="false" action="dialog:somedialog" actionListener="#{DialogManager.bean.setupUserAction}">
<f:param name="id" value="#{r.id}" />
</a:actionLink>‍‍‍

define your dialog and that is all, have a look how delete user is done and you fill fix this in 30min max.

inocka

I already implemented the disable action and it works fine. My question was how to show that action only for active user. I don't want to see actionLink disable if user was already disabled. Thanks in advance

savic_prvoslav

you can create to have rendered="!r.disabled"

inocka

Did you mean that I should use directly r.disabled in jsp or I should create specific user property for that?
Thanks

you can create to have rendered="!r.disabled"

savic_prvoslav

if user has disabled propertie then why no to use it .
if prp is custom then you have #{r['acme:document_id']};

inocka

Thanks for quick reply savic.prvoslav. Am I write that there is not such default r.disabled property for alfresco standard user cm

erson?

savic_prvoslav

you must create your own, sorry. but that is so easy, you override UsersDialog . and add property resolover and add that r.disable and based onthat you render it or not.
