Adding custom types to the 'Change Type' drop down

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have some custom types distributed in several amp/jar deployments.
As long as i add them to WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-documentlibrary-config.xml the change-type dialogue offers the new types.
However when i move this section into the alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml in my jar file the new types are ignored.

Here's the code:

 <alfresco-config> 
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
        <types>
            <type name="cm:content">
                <subtype name="foo:BaseDocCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentBaseCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentTemplateCTPE"/>
                <subtype name="foo:CommercialDocumentCTPE"/>
            </type>
             <type name="cm:folder">
            </type> 
            <type name="trx:transferTarget">
            <subtype name="trx:fileTransferTarget" />
        </types>
    </config> 
</alfresco-config>

Q: I dont want to make changes to files all over the place, since that will make updates a messy. How to i achieve this in a modular way?

Thanks,
Armin

Your file looks good I think the problem is your share-config-custom.xml is not picked up by alfresco.
Try to place it in tomcat/share/ location.
If that still does not work try once by removing replace="true" attribute from that
