Removing Finish button from DCT

Hi,

Is there any way to remove Finish button from DCT.
I know that we can remove Save,Save as , Preview and Generate button.

I am using TS6.5 on win 2000.

Hello there,

As of now the only thing i can think off is to manipulate with the file ui_wizard.xml. The file lies at
/httpd/webapps/content_center/WEB-INF/conf/base/ui_wizard.xml.

Just check the same if it can provide any help to your requirement. Also reply if succeded.

Uhm - changing any file under /httpd/webapps/content_center/WEB-INF/ is officially unsupported and should not be recommended without such a warning.

Often, the unsupported mechanism like this can be covered by making a similar change in a similar file under IWHOME/local/lib/content_center/customer_src/ - in which case, it may be semi-supported or fully-supported.

Other method would be using FormAPI... u can just make the buttons invisible or hidden. Button can be called as

var finish = parent.document.getElementById("iw.base.wizard.finish.button");

Hi aks,

i tried
var finish = parent.document.getElementById("iw.base.wizard.finish.button");

but the above method returns javascript method rather than any id.and hence if i try to do,
parent.document.getElementById("iw.base.wizard.finish.button").setVisible(false); nothing happens.

It seems we need to get the id of the Finish button which we are not getting through the above code.
Any idea of how to get the id of Finish button?

Thanks jeetu

Hi,

var finish = parent.document.getElementById("iw.base.wizard.finish.button");
Are u getting object inside finish.
Do not touch any interwoven files, you need to have your own JS and using formapi you can do this.

Did you ever resolve this?

I'm on a 6.5 SP1 / W2K system and we're do a workflow-driven-templating project. Currently using CCPro though I will have to make whatever solution work in CCStd too.

The workflow kicks off fine, the [empty] DCR gets created and added to the job, an Edit DCR window is kicked off for the DCR - I've tried both:

server>http://server/iw-cc/edit?vpath=/default/main/.../data/10005.xml

and

http://teamsitedev/iw-cc/edit?vpath=/default/main/.../data/10005.xml&done_page=/iw-cc/base/util/close_or_home.html"

(taken from some place in the manuals)

but whenever I hit the Finish button at the bottom of the Edit DCR window it saves the DCR (good) and then displays the wizard page with:

1. Next Action with "Submit Now" preselected and "Submit Later" unselected.
2. Attach to existing task or new job: (select list)

Well - as the DCR is already part of a job - I don't really understand either of these options (#1 could be construed in a certain way that made sense, but I don't think #2 can).

Ideally, I'd like 'Finish' to do the equivalent of Save & Close without anything else.

I tried the above referenced javascript code - but as with jeetui I'm seeing the return value be what appears to be a function name and not something that I can [easily?] modify to my purposes [in a supported fashion]

I looked at the javascript for the window and see a fair amount of code - but I can't figure out how to get my own hooks into it to disable or customize it.

Has anyone managed to do this successfully in 6.5SP1? 6.5SP2?
Would appreciate some pointers if it's possible to do.

Attached is JS script to remove "Finish" Button via FormAPI.
Needless to say, this is neither documented nor supported.

Did you ever got a change to modify the functionality of Finish Button. Ideally, I wanted to save and close the window when user clicks on Finish button in a DCT. Can someone help?

Sure. If memory serves something like the following was suggested before by iw_store

function customFinish () {
   try{
      var finish = parent.document.getElementById("iw.base.wizard.finish.button");
      finish.href='javascript&colon;parent.getScriptFrame().customFinishHandler();';
   }
   catch(e){
      alert("Finish button Not Found");
   }
}

function customFinishHandler() {
   alert("Your Custom Finish Code here");
   if(confirm("Do you want to follow with original IWOV \"Finish\" Process?")) {
      top.iw_wizard_doFinish();
   }
}
