Configuring Web Editor forms

The Alfresco Web Editor (AWE) uses a form to edit the node referenced by a markContent tag. By default, the form displayed will contain the cm:title, cm:description, and cm:content fields. An alternative form can be used by providing the markContent tag with a formId attribute.

Out of the box, only two other forms are configured: a form with an identifier of title, and one with an identifier of description. As the identifiers indicate, the forms display a single property: cm:title and cm:description, respectively. The node type is presumed to be cm:content.

If you have custom types or wish to specify other properties, you can use the forms configuration techniques.

When starting up, the AWE looks for a configuration file on the classpath named shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/awe-config-custom.xml. Place any custom form definitions in this file.
