[opencms-dev] Adding more resources sub-types

[Dylan Milks]

What do you mean by "Run this script on installation"? Do you mean you just modified the TXT file and then did a normal installation? 'Cause that's what I tried, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Here's a sample of what it looks like:

addFileExtension doc binary 
addFileExtension pdf binary 
addFileExtension zip binary 
addFileExtension class binary 
addFileExtension ppt binary 
addFileExtension swf binary 
addFileExtension xls binary 
addFileExtension txt plain 
addFileExtension html plain 
addFileExtension htm plain 
addFileExtension jpeg image 
addFileExtension jpg image 
addFileExtension gif image 
addFileExtension png image 
addFileExtension tif image 
addFileExtension tiff image 
addFileExtension bmp image 
addFileExtension jsp jsp

When I go to the "resource type management" section, the only type that has something listed is JSP. All other types have nothing. It looks like I've done something wrong which caused this to happen. Normally after the default install, you should see some file types listed under the resource type. 

Any idea what's going on?

Dylan,

Here is a snippet of a cmssetup.txt that worked for us. We run this
script on installation, as you mentioned initially.

...
addFileExtension pdf binary
addFileExtension zip binary
addFileExtension class binary
addFileExtension txt plain
addFileExtension html plain
addFileExtension htm plain
addFileExtension jpeg image
addFileExtension jpg image
addFileExtension gif image
addFileExtension jsp jsp
addFileExtension shtml plain
...

I believe this is all you have to do to make it work. HTH,

If I go to "Resource type management" on the admin side of OpenCMS, and
add ".tiff" under "Image" - what corresponding action is taking place?
Where is it storing those values (e.g.: Image has -> gif, jpeg, jpg,
bmp, etc...)?

If I add a sub-type this way, I don't have to modify/create a new class.
Can't I simulate this some way without having to write a new class?

Hi,

you must also write special subclasses for your ResourceTypes. Then it
should work!
Hope this helps
