How to format custom aspects

redbull

I would add to my documents some "amount" custom aspects so that, when I enter the values and when I view the "amount" custom properties, they include formatting separators (eg. Total amount: $1,350.58).
Is it possible? How can I do this?
Thanks so much.

Have a look at how you create custom forms. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms
In this case, you can copy the text field (textfield.ftl) control and make a copy of it. Call it something like currencyfield.ftl. In your forms definition, reference this new control.

In your new control, change the field for view mode. There is a currency formatter for freemarker, not sure if this will work for you, but check it out. http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/ref_builtins_number.html#ref_builtin_string_for_number

thank you, Loftux.
maybe I was not precise.
To create my custom aspects and I followed the process of customizing the Alfresco content model, so:
1) I created my custom model context file (customModel.xml) with my custom aspects definition
2) I configure the web client for the custom aspect (web-client-config-custom.xml)
3) I use custom aspect in a new business rule when I add new content to my space.
To format my currency custom field I thought I would change something in these files. Or not?
thank you

web-client-config-custom.xml is for Alfresco Explorer, if that is what your are using, then web-client-config-custom.xml is on the right track. Next would be to create some jsf control/stuff, and that is out of my knowledge.

But if you are using Alfresco Share client, then what I pointed you at applies. If you are in the beginning of your project, I really recommend using the Share client.

Hi Loftux,

You can create your custom converter to display different format . Check byteSizeConverter which display the bytes along with size . Try to follow the same flow and you will be able to create custom converter.

Thanks,

Amita, could you give me some more details about your hint?
thank you so much!

Hi Loftux,

Here are the brief steps to create custom converters :
1. Create a tag in alfresco.tld , sample of the tag is given below:

 <tag>
      <name>convertSize</name>
      <tag-class>org.alfresco.web.ui.common.tag.ByteSizeConverterTag</tag-class>
      <body-content>JSP</body-content>
      <description>
         Allows the ByteSizeConverter to be used on a page
      </description>
      </tag>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. Create a java file similar to "ByteSizeConverterTag" which must extends "ConverterTag" class . You can check the existing "ByteSizeConverterTag" class

3. Create a java file similar to "ByteSizeConverter" which must implement the interface "Converter" . You can check existing "ByteSizeConverter" class. Implement logic of conversion in this class.

4. Make the changes accordingly in web-client-config-custom.xml to use the custom tag .

Thanks,
