Description of problem: Each content type is reponsible for registering an authoring kit for itself. There are, however, a number of genral purpose assets such as dublin core, file attachments and related links which need to augment the authoring kits for all content types in the CMS. Obviously the master content type kit definitions themselves can't reference these assets, since the is no way to know in advance if an asset will be installed on the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I have a solution pending checkin as follows: Create an abstract class called ContentAssetInitializer. Generic assets such as dublin core, related links, etc subclass this and implement the abstract methods to return information about their drop-in authoring kit step. /** * The base type against which the asset is defined, * typically com.arsdigita.cms.ContentPage */ public abstract String getBaseType(); /** * The class of the authoring kit step */ public abstract Class getAuthoringStep(); /** * The label for the authoring step */ public abstract GlobalizedMessage getAuthoringStepLabel(); /** * The description for the authoring step */ public abstract GlobalizedMessage getAuthoringStepDescription(); Upon startup the step for these assets are registered with AuthoringKitWizard UI class such that when it loads an authoring kit from the DB, it appends the steps for all registered assets.
