Custom behavior when a node change type

drocco88

Hi there,

I'm in a need to check the new type of a content when it is changed (throw the "Change Type" action in the details view) and use that value to do something else.

Can you please point me to the right direction?

Many thanks,
Rocco

Hello,

the OnSetNodeTypePolicy is your best bet here. Only in such a policy do you have access to the before and after type QName.

One more question:

What about showing the type in the detailed view? I was having a look at cm:type but is not the actual node type (is for the Dublin Core aspect).

Hello,

as a type is not a property / association in itself, it can not be displayed directly using field declaration in Share forms. We previously added a form filter on the Alfresco repository tier to add a pseudo-field "type" that can be used in detail view forms (similiar to the pseudo fields "transitions", "packageItems" etc.). Such a modification requires a bit of Java programming.

Thanks. I was also thinking of doing it throw a behavior that changes a custom "type" property.
