Workflows and Custom Menu Items

ISCBorisB

Hi,

Looking for some Customization help...

Upon transition from 5.5.2 to 6.5 I segregated all custom menu items formerly scattered
over File/View/Edit and whatnot into dedicated custom menu. All works, no problem there.

Here is an issue though... To simplify, let's talk CCPro only
Some custom items are File related and useful to expose to Content Contributor via WF.
In 5.5 I included them into File menu and they were available from File Actions drop-down.
That no longer happens in TS 6, even if I replicate desired Items in File which I do not really want to do.

Is there any TS Suppotted way to expose Custom Menu items for WF Attached Files ?

Win 2003, TS 6.5 SP1; OD 6.0.1
Thanks

You have to go through the UITK to add menu items and/or action links to the workflow tab. For instance, we replaced the Preview and Tag action links and the Preview option in the per-file drop-down menu in the Task Details view by adding the following to our ui_custom.xml file: <action-list id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.action-list">
<iwov-delete>
<link id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_preview.link"/>
</iwov-delete>
<iwov-insert-before id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_diff.link">
<link id="doed.cm.preview.link"
label="Preview"
description="preview stuff"
url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/doed_cm_preview.cgi"
target="_blank"
windowFeatures="width=640,height=550,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes"
operationID="cm.doed.preview.op"/>
</iwov-insert-before>
<menu id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.menu">
<iwov-delete>
<link id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.preview.link"/>
<link id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.list_extended_attributes.link"/>
</iwov-delete>
<iwov-insert-after id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.file_properties.link">
<link id="doed.cm.set_metadata.link"
label="Set Metadata"
description="Set metadata on selected assets"
url="/iw-bin/doed_cm_co_prepopulate_meta.cgi"
target="_blank"
windowFeatures="width=800,height=570,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes"
operationID="cm.doed.set_metadata.op"/>
</iwov-insert-after>
<iwov-insert-after id="iw.ccpro.task_details.file_actions.separator2">
<link id="doed.cm.preview.link"
label="Preview"
description="preview stuff"
url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/doed_cm_preview.cgi"
target="_blank"
windowFeatures="width=640,height=550,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes"
operationID="cm.doed.preview.op"/>
</iwov-insert-after>
</menu>
</action-list>
