Hi !

I've created a custom space with an additional property.

It's quite working, I can create a Space of my custom type with the wizard, but the Space wizard doesn't let me choose an initial value for my new property.

Once the space is created, I can edit my property.

I configured this property as I configured one for a custom content which worked well (the content wizard let me initialize its value).

Is that normal that new properties for custom folders are not editable in the creation wizard ?

How can I do that ? Do I have to create a custom wizard ??

Please help



You can find my custom folder configuration files below :

test-model.xml :

…
   <types>
…
      <type name="my:so">
         <title>SOAT</title>
         <parent>cm:folder</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="my:Affaire">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>
    </types>
…

web-client-config-custom.xml :

…
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:so">
      <property-sheet>       
         <show-property name="my:Affaire" />
      </property-sheet>
   </config> 
…
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Space Wizards">
         <folder-types>
            <type name="my:so" icon="/images/icons/space-icon-star.gif" description="SOAT" />
         </folder-types>
          <content-types>
         <type name="my:Affaire" />   
        </content-types>
   </config>

Yes, it is the normal behaviour, the create space process is not the same as the create content process at the moment.

However, a bug has been raised to fix this: http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-888

In the meantime you could mimic what the create content wizard does and display the edit properties dialog as soon as the wizard finishes. Or yes, you could customise the create space dialog/wizard and get it to prompt for your properties.
