Webtop 6.5 SP2 - Object Filter configuration / customization

I'm looking to configure / customize the objectfilter option in Webtop. This is the Show Files and Folders ... feature.

I need to display dm_document, dm_smart_list and folders in one option.

I could not find any options where i can show multiple objects at the same level. I tried few things but none resulted in the desired option.

This is what I have at the moment

<objectfilter>
<label>
        Show Files, Folders and Smart Lists
                    </label>
                    <showfolders>true</showfolders>
                    <type>dm_sysobject</type>
                    <showallversions>false</showallversions>
            </objectfilter>

But ideally we are looking for a cleaner solution because using dm_sysobject exposes lot other objects like dm_notes etc .. in bunch of other cabinets which are accessible to users. We also cannot make those cabinets private.

So is there an option where i can just show dm_document and dm_smart_list in one option through configuration or this involves custom coding

Thanks a lot in advance

Since these are system object types, there is no way to get what you want without some custom coding. It should be relatively easy to extend the jsp page and only include these custom types in the dropdown liast.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to see if i can do this in JSP only and i could not figure out a way to do it. (if that is what you meant. Our goal here was to see if we can do this without any custom coding but just by XML / JSP)

I believe this is what controls the objectfilter options. this is from doclist_body.jsp

<dmf:dropdownlist name='<%=DocList.CONTROL_FILTER%>' onselect='onSelectTypeFilter' tooltipnlsid="MSG_FILE_FILTER">
</dmf:dropdownlist>

I did not see any options for type in the dropdownlist tag and name is required which relates to a control.

Our goal is to provide something like this

Show Files, Folders and Smart Lists

Show Files

Show Folders

Show Smart Lists

Show <<custom object1>>

Show <<custom object2>>

Except the first option, other options have been implemented by xml configuration. The first option is implemented by selecting the type to be dm_sysobject but that exposes other objects in other cabinets which we would like to avoid

Thanks a lot

You can customize JSP by just hard-coding value for the dropdown:

<dmf:dropdownlist name='<%=DocList.CONTROL_FILTER%>' onselect='onSelectTypeFilter' tooltipnlsid="MSG_FILE_FILTER">

<dmf:option>custom_type_1</dmf:option>

<dmf:option>custom_type_2</dmf:option>
</dmf:dropdownlist>
