Displaying aspect metadata

Add the properties and associations defined on aspects by adding them to the list of fields to show for a type. The aspects that appear can be defined on a type by type basis, and you can control the ordering of the fields.

Open the <web-extension>\share-config-custom.xml file.

Note: While you can configure the aspect metadata by directly editing the share-config-custom.xml file in <web-extension>. It is also possible to deploy custom configurations via JARs or AMPs.

Enter the configuration for custom types.

The following example configuration shows the cm:from and cm:to properties for the cm:effectivity aspect.


<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <form>
         <field-visibility>
            <show id="cm:name" />
            <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
            <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
            <show id="mimetype" />
            <show id="cm:author" force="true" />
            <show id="size" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:creator" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:created" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:modifier" for-mode="view" />
            <show id="cm:modified" for-mode="view" />

            <!-- cm:effectivity aspect -->
            <show id="cm:from"/>
            <show id="cm:to"/>
         </field-visibility>
      </form>
   </forms>
</config>

Add custom aspects to the default configuration by overriding the configuration.

The following example shows how to add the fields of an example aspect to all forms for the cm:content type.

          
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <form>
         <field-visibility>
            <!-- fields from my example aspect -->
            <show id="my:aspectProperty" />
            <show id="my:aspectAssociation" />
         </field-visibility>
      </form>
   </forms>
</config>

Save the file.
