Hi Karl,

I get closer to understanding your situation: On your document database, you have some real “Domain” document instances. Somehow, (this is obscure why to me as this is not the case in a default DM), you have the “New” button displayed on the content tab of those Domain instances. The problem is that it proposes no document type to create. You can modify this in Studio by providing :

• A/ either in “Container types” of all the types that can be created below Domain the value “Domain”.
• B/ either in “Accepted Children” of Domain type declaration the value of all the types that you want to create below a Domain. Problem: not possible for you to rename or re-create a Domain type because of the error message you gave us.

The problem in B cannot be solved without changing Nuxeo Studio behavior, which has to be scheduled in a future release. But it seems to me that solution A is fine for your requirements

There remains to understand how you get the “New” button on Domain type instances.

Thanks, I appreciate your prompt response.

Let me re-phrase my question.

I renamed the Document Type Domain in Studio.

On existing Domain documents in DM I have a “New” button when I enter the domain. Clicking this new button does nothing, no errors, no logged errors.

Looking at the created DM document of type Domain in Nuxeo shell shows the domain has the Type: Domain (which was the old Domain name), as it should.

In Studio, when I try to rename the document type back to Domain, I get an error stating: Invalid name: A document having a nested schema with the id 'domain_schema' already exists in this project: this document schema prefix will conflict with it.

So I can't seem to use the original id/prefix (domain_schema) on the renamed document type, even though this document type was originally name Domain.

I have extended the domain type in at least one other document type, but I am not using this type.

I hope this clears up my original question. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Karl,

To make a new Document button appear, you can add the following XML extension in Studio (Project > Advanced Settings > XML Extensions):

  <extension point="actions" target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions.ActionService"> <action icon="/icons/action_add.gif" id="newDocumentBis" label="action.new.document" link="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('selectDocTypePanel');">
  <category>SUBVIEW_UPPER_LIST_HREF</category>

  <filter id="customAdditionalRuleForNewDocumentButton"><rule grant="true">
      <permission>AddChildren</permission>
      <type>Domain</type>
    </rule>
  </filter>
</action>
</extension>

I tested successfully. Note that ideally, I would have contributed a new filter to the existing “newDocument” action, but didn't find the good filter.

A few complementary remarks:

• When you want to override or copy the behavior of a link, you can have a look at the contributed links here: http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20DM-5.4.2/viewContribution/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions--actions and, exhaustively: http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20DM-5.4.2/viewExtensionPoint/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions.ActionService--actions

• When you ask a question here, you should pay attention to make the difference between a “Document type” (created and renamed in Studio) and a Document (created and renamed in DM, as being an instance of a Document type).
