I am using alfresco 6. I have created custom xml and a custom properties file under web-extension folder. My changes are not getting reflected. What's the correct way to do it?
You've to place the custom-slingshot properties file under web-extension\messages folder and you need to create & place the custom-slingshot context file to import the custom-slingshot properties file.
<?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="org_alfresco_module_custom_propertyBootstrap" class="org.alfresco.i18n.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">
<property name="resourceBundles">
<list>
<value>alfresco.web-extension.messages.customslingshot</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
Save this as, custom-slingshot-application-context.xml file under web-extension folder.
Create customslingshot.properties under web-extension\messages and override the message in customslingshot.properties file.
Hope this helps
Note: This is working on Alfresco 5.x and it should work with Alfresco 6.0. Please let me know,if you face any issues.
