Custom content model not available in Share

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've created a custom content model for Alfresco Community 4.2.c, but for some reason I can't make it available in Alfresco Share.  I followed the steps in Jeff Potts <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article-2ed.pdf">article</a> and created a model (NGA_pub.xml), context file (NGA_pub-model-context.xml), and a share-config-custom.xml and placed them all the the alfresco/extension folder in the tomcat installation.  But when I try to create new content or upload content, the new type does not appear at all.  Also, I cannot create generic content and then change the type to the custom type (the custom type does not appear in the menu again).  Am I missing a step somewhere?  Thanks.

Here's my code:

NGA_pub.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!– Definition of new Model –>
<model name="publication:publicationdatamodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>   
   <description>Publication Content</description>
   <author></author>
   <version>1.0</version>

   <!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>   
   <imports>
        <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
      <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
   </imports>

   <!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="publication.data.model" prefix="publication"/>
   </namespaces>
   
   <types>
   
      <!– Definition of new Content Type –>

     <type name="publication:publication">

         <properties>
            <property name="publication:pub_number">

            </property>
         <property name="publication:pub_title">

            </property>
         <property name="publication:pub_type">

            </property>
         <property name="publication:file_path">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         <property name="publication:seq_file_path">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>

    </types>

   
</model>

Here's my NGA_pub-model-context.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
    <!– Registration of new models –>   
    <bean id="NGA_pub.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/NGA_pub.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>        
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And here's my share-config-custom.xml:

<alfresco-config>
   <!– Document Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
      <types>
         <type name="cm:content">
            <subtype name="publication:publication" />
         </type>
         <type name="publication:publication" />
      </types>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

Hi,
when you use the Alfresco Web Client, you should expose your custom fields by modifying the web-client-config-custom.xml file.
Similarly in you have to do the same in Share.
