Need category to contain slashes (/)

wiggum

Hi there,

I have some metadata I need to tag to all documents in a space. I was planning on using categories, but one of my values is a URL which contains slashes, and slashes aren't accepted in categories.

So I need a way to assign a category (or maybe a property) to all documents when they land in a space, and this value must be able to contain slashes. Then I'll grab this value from a custom action and write it to a db.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks!

You can create a new aspect with your meta-data (see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_3:_Create_a_new_Aspect) and a content rule in your space to use by default your new aspect.

I hope that will help you.

Hi Christophe,

I appreciate your response. I have some custom aspects, but this is more of an admin configurable property that we're going to have many different values for. So I'm not sure that a custom aspect is the best bet in this case.

I also have some custom properties that I can set on a document level on the "Modify Content Properties" screen. But ideally I'd like to have that custom property automatically applied to all items as they go into a space.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi

If this does not work then it is a bug.

Categories use the name to create a path - this should be ISO9075 encoded.
It is is not then there is a problem somewhere.

Are you just going throught the UI or doing something else?

You can add special characters in categories, including slashes and backslashes, if you change the regular expression in contentModel.xml and validation.js, as outlined in this post:
