Create Alfresco Content Types using a UI

Question

I am just starting out with Alfresco and am interested in creating content types that are specific to my business needs. From what I have read so far, I can do this by creating an XML file that defines a content type and then creating an AMP to customise Share to handle my new content type.

But Drupal, another CMS, allows you to create a content type using it's UI without having to write or deploy any code.

Is there a similar feature in Alfresco that will allow an admin to create a content type using a UI?

Answer 1

There aren't a lot of options, but there is one addon: beCGP designer

I would also strongly suggest reading Jeff Potts' tutorial on working with custom content types

Here is another interesting Alfresco Form & Model Management tool: https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-form-model-management/
