Request: Metadata centric component page #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

This request might be a little out of the box than the original design of this 
add-on so deny if necessary. 

The current design is to have metadata forms be attached to an object either a 
folder or a document, but I think the metadata forms are useful enough to stand 
on their own. Users can go to the front end metadata page to enter data into 
the form (created from the existing form management admin interface) and then 
attach resources to that metadata such as documents, folders, forums, datalist, 
ect...  And in the advanced search area you would be able to search any content 
from the metadata and return all the resources from that metadata. Metadata 
profile and drop-downs would be very useful here also. We would find a user's 
side metadata management like this very useful.

Hi there, the form management will allow you to do this using its API.

Take a look at the form demo dashlet. If you give the demo a list of aspects 
e.g. ( dmo_one~dmo_two) it will load the form without any document context. 

When saving the form you can give it a '~' delimited list of nodeId's and if 
you wish, a destination to move them after save. This will apply metadata 
entered to all nodes given.

You would simply have to provide functionality to select those nodes. Im glad 
you have spotted this because FM was actually designed to make developing forms 
(not just for Alfresco's edit metadata screen, in fact it wasn't even designed 
for that)

FM was built because when our company uses alfresco we typically design and 
develop our own components or applications that use forms. I wanted a way to 
take the tedious form development out, something that enables us to create the 
forms once and use them anywhere with some simple jQuery code.
