Unable to create property group

[surajaya]

Hi everyone,

I have finally managed to get the property groups working with the option's I wanted. Thank you to all who helped, I have decided to write a quick guide to how I achieved this for anyone who may come across the same issue/s.

1) If you have already created a property group you CANNOT modify it, so if you are having problems start from scratch.

2) When adding the PropertyGroups.xml finle I still got the error message 'Missing = in namespace decl. (CustomNodes.cnd, line 1)' however the property groups seem to work perfectly. the error message is not important (as far as I can see)

3) In the main directory of your OKM installation you should find PropertyGoups.cnd and PropertyGoups.xml, I modified these files and then added them through the administrator console.

4) Make sure your files are 100% correct, no Capital letters or or missing characters. If you get it wrong you'll probably have to start all over again with a new installation!

5) If you are having difficulty check you can use the demo PropertyGroups files to create your property groups, they can be found here: http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Proper ... definition

Below I have included the actual working PropertyGroups files I have used to get the options working as I needed.

Hope this helps anyone having the same trouble, and also a BIG thank you to all who gave advice.

Random Agenda

I've followed your step (I even use your attached file), but got the error "Missing = in namespace decl." and I still can't use property groups (the buttons is disabled / not active) . Any idea on what's wrong with my openkm ?

Hi,

I have just followed my own instructions and I cannot get it to work either....

I have managed to modify the PropertyGroups files in the OpenKM root folder to add property groups into the system.

however after spending lots of time looking into property groups I have managed to use the keywords function to do what I needed. this seem much more stable and with a little planning can work just aswell.

Better than modifying could be add new, and test always in development environment before adding.

Because if you've registeres some one, you can not delete the property and could be a problem during registering metadata. Sincerally there's no mistery on metadata.

Hey guys, sorry for the blatant necro. I'm having some issues in implementing a property group. The error is

Code: Select all

The content of element type "select" is incomplete, it must match "(option+,validator*)"

Now, I think I don't have the proper code for the validator part. I have the options in for the select, but I have no idea what and where to put the validator part. Below is my .xml code.

Code: Select all

I'm sure it is just something small that I have overlooked or something like that. I'm running the latest version of OpenKM (downloaded and install just a few days ago) on Ubuntu 11.04.

see the error:

Code: Select all

The following nodetype change contains non-trivial changes.

You've yet registered this property group and now try making some changes, like for example delete some property, that's not allowed ! for repository historic consistence, you can add more properties and change types, but not remove yet registered. If you're on a non production environment, simply delete folder repository ( will delete all repository information ) and start with new clean, there're you can continue making tests. If you're on a production environment then you're on a problem.

Hey guys, sorry for the blatant necro. I'm having some issues in implementing a property group. The error is

Code: Select all

The content of element type "select" is incomplete, it must match "(option+,validator*)"

According to your XML, the tag is closed

Code: Select all

<select label="Type" type="multiple" name="okp:video.type"/>

Should be changed to:

Code: Select all

<select label="Type" type="multiple" name="okp:video.type">

Note de "/".
