'Change Types' options menu labeleds

Hi,

I've created a new model and finally at my share-config-custom.xml I've added the next code

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
  <types>
    <type name="cm:content">
      <subtype name="so:song" />
    </type>

    <type name="cm:folder">
    </type>
  </types>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when I log into Share and try change the type the option appears like type.so_song

Where is the file where I can specify that this option must be translated to Song for example.

I'm tried in "webclient.properties" and "songModelResourceBundle.properties"

I'm using Alfresco 3.4.0d CE

Don't know which application server you're using, if tomcat rename the provided custom-slingshot-application-context.xml.sample to custom-slingshot-application-context.xml and add the following:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>
   
   <bean id="my.resources" class="org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">
      <property name="resourceBundles">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco.messages.<resources_name></value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Once you've done that, you'll need to create the <resources_name>.properties file in shared/classes/alfresco/messages with the values you want.

Hope this helps.

Hi bhavana,

For more detailed info you can check the following URL (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms). But what you basically need is update your share-config-custom.xml with:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:type">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="my:property1" />
               <show id="my:property2" force="true" />
               <show id="my:property3" force="true" />
               
               <!– you can add aspect properties as well–>
                                        <!– ie: cm:emailed aspect properties–>
               <show id="cm:originator" />
               <show id="cm:addressee" />
               <show id="cm:addressees" />
               <show id="cm:sentdate" />
               <show id="cm:subjectline" />
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>
                                        <set id="my-properties" appearance="bordered-panel" label="My Properties" />
               <field id="my:property1" read-only="true" set="my-properties"/>
               <field id="my:property2" read-only="true" set="my-properties"/>
               …
                                        <!– Adding a control to render the property –>
               <field id="my:property3" set="my-properties">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textfield.ftl" />
               </field>
                                        <field id="cm:originator" read-only="true" />
               <field id="cm:addressee" read-only="true" />
               <field id="cm:addressees" read-only="true" />
               <field id="cm:sentdate" read-only="true" />
               <field id="cm:subjectline" read-only="true" />
            </appearance>
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The set will group all the properties with the same set value in a panel

Note that it won't inherit the properties from the cm:content, so this wouldn't show cm:name, cm:title, etc… you'll need to add them to that configuration.

Hope this helps, if so please vote this as a useful post.

Hey Thanks for the reply…

I just checked the way you told that is also useful but i tried in a bit different manner which works absolutely fine …

fstnboy

Glad to know it…

Could you give me a point if I was helpful? Thanks!

I'm facing the same problem.

I have understand which are the steps i have to perform to change the labels in the Change Type dialog but, unfortunately, I haven't understand which is the format i should use to specify the label in the .properties file. I have made some searches on the Internet but nothing was helpful.

In the case we have a type so:song (as the example above), what is the right record i have to write in the .properties file in order to read the label in the Change Type Dialog? Can anyone help?

Thanks.

minnie

Hi MarcoQ82!
If you add a new custom type so:song, che solution to have the correct corresponding label shown in your Change Type dropdown menu is to add a new row type.so_song=My Song Type in the slingshot.properties file, or that related to your language.
Bye

Thank you minnie,
even if I can test the solution as i have changed work and i'm not developing on Alfresco anymore (unfortunately), i will remember it for the next time!

Yes, as long as the new type is a subtype of the type the node is now. In other words, you can only specialize to subtypes.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mikeh

I tried with the subtype only but in alfresco share when i upload a document and change the type and click OK and again when i click on the change type action the dropdown wont show any option.

I my case all the custom content types are the subtypes of cm:content.

Thanks

As I mentioned in my post above yours, you can only specialize to subtypes, not the other way around.

Good advice in the other thread you posted to is to use aspects instead if you constantly need to change which properties are available on nodes.

Thanks,
Mike
