Hi all.
I'd like to extend the content model with 2 additional Custom Content Type
To do this, according to the wiki documentation, I do as following:


1. I Create, in the extension folder, the file cct-context.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
  <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
    <property name="models">
      <list>
        <value>alfresco/extension/cctModel1.xml</value>
        <value>alfresco/extension/cctModel2.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean> 
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. I create, in the extension folder, the file cctModel1.xml for Custom Content Type Model 1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model name="cct1:mycctmodel1" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
   <imports>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
   </imports>
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="my.cct.model1" prefix="cct1"/>
   </namespaces>
   <types>
      <type name="cct1:custconttyp1">
      <title>Custom Content 1</title>
      <parent>cm:content</parent>
      <properties>
         <property name="cct1:cctfield1">
         <title>Custom Content Field 1</title>
         <type>d:text</type>
         </property>
      </properties>
      </type>
   </types>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

3. Create, in the extension folder, the file cctModel2.xml for Custom Content Type Model 2

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model name="cct2:mycctmodel2" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
   <imports>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
   </imports>
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="my.cct.model2" prefix="cct2"/>
   </namespaces>
   <types>
      <type name="cct2:custconttyp2">
      <title>Custom Content 2</title>
      <parent>cm:content</parent>
      <properties>
         <property name="cct2:cctfield2">
         <title>Custom Content Field 2</title>
         <type>d:text</type>
         </property>
      </properties>
      </type>
   </types>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

4. In the extension folder, in the file web-client-config-custom.xml I configure the web client for the Custom Content Type Models

<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="cct1:custconttyp1">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="mimetype" display-label-id="mimetype"
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.MimeTypeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />
         <show-property name="size" display-label-id="size" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.ByteSizeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />         
         <show-property name="cct1:cctfield1" />
      </property-sheet>
   </config>   
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="cct2:custconttyp2">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="mimetype" display-label-id="mimetype"
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.MimeTypeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />
         <show-property name="size" display-label-id="size" 
                        converter="org.alfresco.faces.ByteSizeConverter" 
                        show-in-edit-mode="false" />         
         <show-property name="cct2:cctfield2" />
      </property-sheet>
   </config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
      <content-types>
         <type name="cct1:custconttyp1" />
         <type name="cct2:custconttyp2" />         
      </content-types>
   </config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards">
      <subtypes>
         <type name="cct1:custconttyp1"/>
         <type name="cct2:custconttyp2"/>
      </subtypes>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now, when I click on the button "Add Content" (in any space), I choose the content to upload, I upload it and my expectation is to see in the Add Content Dialog page, in the "Type" drop down list:
- Content
- Custom Content 1
- Custom Content 2
and if i.e. I choose Custom Content 1, my expectation is to be able to add the Custom Content Field 1 while if I choose Custom Content 2, my expectation is to be able to add the Custom Content Field 2 but it doesn't work. I can see only the Custom Content 1.
Can somebody help me to understand why?
Does anybody have any idea about which is my mistake?
Of course if I use only 1 custom content type it works fine.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo Traversa.

Can you clarify some things for me…

Your expectations are correct but I'm not sure what you are actually seeing, do you only see one item in the drop down list of types?

Or do you see both types but it always creates nodes with the first custom type?

Do you see any warnings in the app server console window? If there is a problem with the config you should see some warnings.

Your config looks fine on first inspection so answers to the above may help to narrow down the issue.
