Guidance on share-custom-config.xml

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 have added the following to my share-custom-config.xml file in order to enable non-minified js for debugging purposes:

<config replace="true">
  <flags>
    <client-debug>true</client-debug>
  </flags>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This works - however I have discovered that the share admin console (/share/page/console/admin-console/) is now blank.  This happens even if my share-custom-config.xml only contains the opening and closing <blockcode><alfresco-config></blockcode> tags - and no other config settings.

If however I rename the share-custom-config.xml to something else e.g. my-config.xml, and then wire it up with the following in the custom-slingshot-config-custom.xml file then my js is non-minified, but the admin console is now visible again:

<bean id="custommodel.config" class="org.springframework.extensions.config.ConfigBootstrap" init-method="register">
  <property name="configService" ref="web.config"/>
  <property name="configs">
    <list>
      <value>classpath:alfresco/web-extension/my-config.xml</value>
    </list>
  </property> 
</bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I suspect this is my lack of understanding as to how the share-custom-config.xml file works and would appreciate some guidance.

Try removing the "replace" attribute from your "config" element. With replace set to true, you are telling Share that your element provides everything it needs. If you look at the out-of-the-box config element, you'll see you aren't doing that which is why the admin console (and likely other pages) are broken. With replace set to false you are telling Share that you are only overriding what you are providing.
