Could I allocate a content type to a space?

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.

Hello,

I would like to decide what content type users can create into a space. Is it possible?

I would like that my space called "Recipes Repository" have only content with the type: "recipe". When an user click on the create content link, I want that the default or unique content type was "recipe".

Thank you in advance.

Raquel.

Not out of the box, but with some customisation and configuration, yes, it's possible.

You could override the CreateSpaceDialog class and the configuration for the 'createSpace' dialog. In the finishImpl() method you could detect whether you are in the "Recipes Repository" space and if you are use your custom content otherwise use the default type.

This wiki page may help too: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Customising_The_Create_Content_Wizard as it shows how to customise an existing wizard (a dialog has the same concepts).
