Change Type Dialog

gukguk

Hi !
I'm a newbie in Alfresco.
I want to add new type in change type dialogue.
According to the documentation that i read , i have to modify share-config-custom.xml (located at \tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension
) so the new type will show up in change type dialog.
But it doesn't show up at all.
I also try to put logger.log() statement to debug change-type.get.js because i want to see if the config can be read by the js but there is no log statement being print
Can anybody help me ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alfresco-config>

   <!– Repository Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!–
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      –>
      <visible>true</visible>
   </config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
      <types>
         <type name="cm:content">
            <subtype name="tzc:document"/>
         </type>
         <type name="tzc:document">
            <subtype name="tzc:customerDocument"/>
            <subtype name="tzc:salesOrderDocument" />

         </type>
         <type name="tzc:salesOrderDocument">
            <subtype name="tzc:receipt" />
            <subtype name="tzc:salesOrderItemDocument" />
         </type>
   </types>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

You have updated the config for RepositoryLibrary, that may be what you want to do, but I think you want
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
(that is for it to show in sites)

Also, when you have replace="true" you need to copy the whole config section for DocumentLibrary from tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-config.xml

Also, you can allow to directly change from cm:content to for example tzc:customerDocument, assuming that is what you want to allow. Else you users would have to change multiple times.

Hi !
I'm not really so sure with what you meant on the previous.
I modify share-config-custom.xml (located at \tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension )
Is it something like this below ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alfresco-config>
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" >
<types>
<type name="cm:content">
<subtype name="tzc:customerDocument"/>
<subtype name="tzc:receipt" />
<subtype name="tzc:salesOrderItemDocument" />
</type>
</types>
</config>
</alfresco-config>

Even i changed the share config file and restart the server , the change type still doesn't show up .
By the way, i cannot find this tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-config.xml
Can you be more specific ?
Thanks again for your help

In the directory where you have installed alfresco, like /opt/alfresco or C:\alfresco you will have tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-config.xml.
In that file you will find the default config for share, and that is what you want to override.

I usually take the whole config section i need, and have replace="true"

Have you installed any other extension? If there are many share-config-custom.xml, only the first one encountered will be read.
Try this one (for 3.4)

Hi Loftux !
Thanks for your reply.
I can find share-config.xml and i did modify share-config.xml like you told me to, I add new type there but the Change Type dialog doesn't load the new type.
There is a share-config-custom.xml and i did change that also by adding the new type but still no result.
Is there a way for me to debug if the change type dialog load the type from a particular file ?
Thanks

loftux

I didn't mean for you to change the share-config.xml, just use it to find out what the default config settings are.
From my previous post, copy the complete config and make a new tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml. Of course if you have other settings that you need in your share-config-custom.xml, you would have to merge them.

HI Loftux !
Thanks again for your reply.
I did what you've told me but there is no change at all in the Change Type dialog after I restart the server.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I'm not so sure what went wrong .
I have to find a way to debug the change-type.get.js probably it will tell me where it read the type

Hi Loftux!
Thanks for your help i got it work by changing only the share-config.xml
Thanks again for your hlep
