types

A document type has the following properties:

- id: its string identifier

- remove: if true, remove this ecm document type. Can be used, for
instance, if there is a document type contributed by nuxeo-dm that
you don't want in your application. (Be careful to add a dependency
to the contribution that creates this document type.)

- icon: icon path used to represent the document type.

- icon-expanded: icon used for instance in tree view

- bigIcon: icon path aimed at rich application

- bigIcon-expanded: same as icon-expanded for rich application

- category: Category of the document type.

- description: Description of the document type.

- label: string title.

- subtypes: list of the allowed sub document types for a given container.
This can be used to filter some document types creation and copy to
specific kinds of container documents.

- deniedSubtypes: list of forbidden sub document types for a given
container. Useful when you inherit from another container type and
want to restrict its subtypes.

- default-view: this view will be returned when accessing the document.

- create-view: this view will be returned when creating the document.

- edit-view: this view can be used to display the document default edit
page.

- views: other views can be defined, so that they can be customized easily
and trigger specific behaviour. For instance, defining a view named
'after-edit' on the document will allow to parameter which view should be
displayed after the document edition.

WARNING: the views definitions and associated behaviours may change in the
future. You should avoid customizing more than default-view and
create-view for now.

- layouts: the list of layouts to use in a given mode. Usual modes are
"view", "create" and "edit". When no layouts are defined for a specific
mode, layouts for the mode "any" are taken.

- layout: deprecated layout configuration.

Example:

        <type coretype="Domain" id="Domain">
          <label>Domain</label>
          <icon>/icons/folder.gif</icon>
          <default-view>view_documents</default-view>
          <subtypes>
            <type>WorkspaceRoot</type>
            <type>SectionRoot</type>
          </subtypes>
          <deniedSubtypes>
            <type>File</type>
          </deniedSubtypes>
          <layouts mode="any">
            <layout>heading</layout>
          </layouts>
        </type>

Types extension point provides merging features: you can change an
existing type definition in your custom extension point provided you use
the same identifier.
