[SOLVED] Custom type not showing up in rule config

Custom type not showing up in rule config

Trying to add a folder rule which should specialize cm:content to our custom type my:content (which inherits from cm:content).

We have configured the following in share-config-custom.xml:

<type name="cm:content"> <subtype name="my:content"/> </type>

Our type shows up correctly in the specialize type action in the document library, but when trying to specify a rule the listbox that should contain our type remains empty. :(

What could we be missing?

Solution

You need to add to web-client-config-custom.xml in alfresco/extension

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards"
    replace="true">
    <subtypes>
        <type name="my:content" />
    </subtypes>
    <specialise-types>
        <type name="my:content" />
    </specialise-types>
</config>

And then the trick is to provide title & description for the types in the content model or via messages/properties; otherwise they will not be there.
