how to configure datalist elements in share

zhasik92

Hello, Alfresco community!

Please, help me.

I've  created custom datalist and put it to repository.

Now i'm trying to tune share view to manipulate(create/modify/delete) with it.

So, after creating datalist i'm trying to add new elements to it. I want to choose type of element(for ex: catalogBase or catalogElement), but i can't choose. Share makes item catalogBase by default.

I'm using alfresco repo amp archetype, and alfresco share amp archetype.

This is my customModel.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Definition of new Model -->
<model name="scr:somecoratingsmodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">   <!-- Optional meta-data about the model -->

this is my share-config-custom.xml

<alfresco-config>   <!-- Document Library config section -->
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">      <types>   <!--<type name="cm:content">-->
   <type name="dl:dataListItem">   <subtype name="scr:catalogBase" />   <subtype name="scr:catalogElement" />   </type>   <type name="scr:catalogBase">   <subtype name="scr:catalogElement" />   </type>   </types>   </config>   <!-- sc:whitepaper type (existing nodes) -->
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="scr:catalogBase">   <forms>   <!-- Default form configuration for the sc:whitepaper type -->
   <form>   <field-visibility>   <show id="scr:title" force="true" />   </field-visibility>   <appearance>   <field id="scr:title">   <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textfield.ftl" />   </field>   </appearance>   </form>   <!-- Document Library pop-up Edit Metadata form -->

I see a form configured for existing model-type nodes (evaluator="node-type") but I do not see a form configured for new nodes (evaluator="model-type"). Can you add a model-type definition and see if that fixes it?

Also, a small side-note: You are defining your types in the "scr" namespace, which you do not own. Instead of:

<namespace uri="http://www.someco.com/model/ratings/1.0" prefix="scr" />

You should replace that uri with something that you own and then change the prefix. If you put your types in other people's namespace you run the risk of a collision.
