Hi.
I migrated my custom folder node to use a nt:folder, which only allows children
of type nt:file...
Unfortunately, there are properties that I need to store on the nt:file node
that are not defined. For example, I need to store a display name property,
and a caption (if the nt:file is an image), description and other miscellaneous
information.
Can someone provide some direction on how I can extend nt:file to store these
additional properties?
there are many ways to achieve this, for example you could use a
custom node type that extends from nt:file, e.g.
[myapp:foo] > nt:file
- myapp:caption (string)
- myapp:description (string)
you could create a custom node type that extends from nt:resource and
use that node type for the jcr:content child node of nt:folder, e.g.
[myapp:foo] > nt:resource
- myapp:caption (string)
- myapp:description (string)
you could create a custom mixin type and assign this mixin ad hoc where
necessary, e.g.
[myapp:foo]
mixin
- myapp:caption (string)
- myapp:description (string)
