Hi,

i think you need to implement two new content type.
And you will choose which type you want when you add content.
I dont think you can do it automatically.

see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_by_Step_Model_Definition
to define new content type…

After if someone add an ImageDocument in folderInvoice, you can do a Script+rule which move new ImageDocument to ImageFolder.

In my view, I think this is more flexible and like that you can reuse your ImageDocument and InvoiceDocument in other palce of your repository

best regards

hi,
ribz33

Thanks for your answer!

I've followed the steps in your link:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_by_Step_Model_Definition

but, I still don't manage to get it right. I get stuck after step 5, "testing the model definition".

My question is: should I only modify files.xml to create the new model definition? If that is the case, which files need I create or modify and where?

I've tried to put the following files:
exampleModel.xml
example-model-context.xml
web-client-config-custom.xml

( taken from this folder:
C:\Program Files\alfresco-1.3.0\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
with the extension .sample )

into this folder:

C:\Program Files\alfresco-1.3.0\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension

But I havn't been able to do anything else, and I can't see the modifications in the Web Client

So, for any help you could give I would be very grateful.

many thanks,
Luis

ok,
if you want to see model working quickly look in your dowloaded archive you have an extension folder (when you dezzip it)
copy in this extension folder this 3 files :
exampleModel.xml
example-model-context.xml
web-client-config-custom.xml

and paste them in
C:\Program Files\alfresco-1.3.0\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
(for tomcat servers)

after edit web-client-config-custom.xml and uncomment this code :

&nbsp;&nbsp; <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <content-types>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <type name="my:sop" />

&nbsp;&nbsp; </config>

&nbsp;&nbsp; <config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:sop">

&nbsp;&nbsp; </config>

&nbsp;&nbsp; <config evaluator="aspect-name" condition="my:imageClassification">

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <show-property name="my:width"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <show-property name="my:height"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <show-property name="my:resolution"/>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </aspects>
&nbsp;&nbsp; </config>

&nbsp;&nbsp; <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Advanced Search">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <advanced-search>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <content-types>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <type name="my:sop" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </content-types>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <custom-properties>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <meta-data type="my:sop" property="my:authorisedBy" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <meta-data aspect="my:imageClassification" property="my:resolution" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </custom-properties>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </advanced-search>
&nbsp;&nbsp; </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This code add your new "example model" in your web client…
Now reboot your server, add a content and look you can choose "content" or your new model type (its magic

lol )
And with code that you had uncommented you had added also your model in advanced search take a look to advance searh to see it

Now you have (i expect) a working model you can try to modify it or create others with same architecture to do what you want.

I expect that will help you…
