Custom Form for Folder Properties

d_gruber

Hello,
I've read so many sources about how to add custom metadata and everything is very confusing and unclear and nothing brings it straight to the point so
I hope someone here can help me:

I want to have a metadata form when I edit a folder with documents in it which has custom fields that contain for example a date field or text fields or checkboxes.
I really don't have a bloody clue what I have to do. I don't know if I have to search for metadata, aspects, forms or models. It is really confusing!

I hope someone can make it clearer… the documentation about it is really not a help…

Best regards
David

If you browse a folder in alfresco-share, there is already edit metadata action available there which shows the out-of-the-box metadata for a folder.
What is your requirement? Do you want to add additional metadata property for folder is it?

d_gruber

Yes that's basically what I want… I want to add custom metadata for that folder:

Some Metadatas like:
Date, ID and so on….

You can apply an aspect (containing the properties) on the folder, then modify the config entry for folder content type in your share-config-custom.xml. Take a look at share-form-config.xml to get understanding of how folder entry is defined for it under following section

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="cm:folder">‍

this one is for creating new folder and

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:folder">‍

this one is for existing nodes. Accordingly you can put the entries for your custom properties.

Thanks for your reply, but how do I apply an aspect on the folder and what do I have to modify?
