Insert a new menu item

AndyGoodman

All,

I'm having problems inserting a new menu item into the menu bar of Webtop 6.5 SP2.  I've created the following menubar_modification.xml file and placed it in the custom/config folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<config version="1.0">
<scope>
  <menuconfig modifies="doc_vdm_submenu:webcomponent\config\library\menubar\menubar_component.xml">
   <insertafter path="menuconfig.menu[name=doc_vdm].filter.actionmenuitem[name=doc_vdm_save_changes]">
    <actionmenuitem dynamic="multiselect" action="cancelcheckout" nlsid="MSG_CANCEL_CHECKOUT" showifdisabled="true" showifinvalid="false"/>
   </insertafter>
  </menuconfig>
</scope>
</config>

The problem appears to be the insertafter line.  I have tried various entries here but always get error messages as below in the stdout when Tomcat is restarted

12:32:37,121 ERROR [Thread-1] com.documentum.web.common.Trace - An error occurred during application intialization : Can't locate a unique child element with path: menuconfig.menu[name=doc_vdm].filter.actionmenuitem[name=doc_vdm_save_changes] in: (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\webtop/webcomponent/config/library/menubar/menubar_component.xml)config[version=1.0].scope[application=webcomponent,version=latest].menuconfig[id=doc_vdm_submenu,version=latest].

The file that I am trying to modify, webcomponent\config\library\menubar\menubar_component.xml, is the standard out of the box version.

Copy this code into file say menu_configuration_1.xml and put into ./custom/config dir of webtop

restart app server and check how it works

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config>
<scope>
<menuconfig modifies="menubar_file_menu:webcomponent/config/library/menubar/menubar_component.xml">
  <insertafter path="menu[name=file_menu].actionmenuitem[name=file_saveas]">
   <actionmenuitem
     dynamic = "singleselect"
     id = "file_rename"
     name = "file_rename"
     value = "Rename"
     action = "rename"
     showifinvalid = "true"/>
  </insertafter>
</menuconfig>
</scope>
</config>
