Extending Document

Jacopo Malnati

Hello,

I would like to "extend" a Document (the item that appears when the user selects Add Item -> Document).

It should behave like a normal document and have some more properties defined by me.

To achieve that, I orphaned LLIAPI:Document and created a WebNode associated with that. When I create from LiveLink a new element of that type, however, it does not ask the user to select a file to upload, it just asks for its name, description, categories and where to insert it.

What should I do to inherit the same behavior of a Document that, when created, asks the user to select a document to upload?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of orphaning LLIAPI:Document I orphaned WebNode:DocNode:Document and I inherited the correct creation process.

however I am still unable to create a new document because I get this error:

Livelink Error: Error adding new item.

[This node type is not supported.]

I noticed that my node references its internal LLNode and I guess the problem is that is has not set the node type. I modified, for example, the ApplTypes so that it returns the document type and my custom type, but I guess I should set the fApplTypes, subtype, etc in the LLNode instead.

function List ApplTypes()
    
    //return .LLNode().fApplTypes
    
    return {144, 7777}
end

How can I set these values? and when?
