<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" /> </field-visibility> </form> </forms> </config>
The configuration defines that the cm:name property is visible in all modes, whereas the cm:creator, cm:created, cm:modifier, and cm:modified properties are visible in view mode only.
The mimetype and size properties are known as transient properties because they do not exist as properties in the model. These properties are formed from the cm:content property. The NodeFormProcessor knows about these properties and generates a field definition to represent them so that they will appear in the forms.
The force attribute ensures that the NodeFormProcessor searches the entire content model for the property or association definition before returning anything.
- Open the <web-extension>/share-config-custom.xml file.
-
Enter the configuration for custom types.
The following example configuration shows the my:text, my:dateTime and my:association properties being configured for the custom my:example type.
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:example"> <forms> <form> <field-visibility> <show id="my:text" /> <show id="my:dateTime" /> <show id="my:association" /> </field-visibility> </form> </forms> </config>
-
Add more fields to the default configuration.
The following example shows how to show the node's DBID property for all cm:content nodes.
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content"> <forms> <form> <appearance> <field id="cm:description"> <control> <control-param name="rows">20</value> <control-param name="columns">20</value> </control> </field> </appearance> </form> </forms> </config>
Note: The full prefix version of the type is required in the condition attribute.The force attribute forces the NodeFormProcessor to search the entire content model for the property or association definition before returning anything.
