Calling a webtop drl link from component

Hi NanoMeko,

The solution I propose is to customize the "view" action and in place of <dmf:button ... you put <dmfx:actionbutton

<dmfx:actionbutton cssclass="buttonLink" nlsid="MSG_?????" action="view" .... />

in the class of the action you put your business code

public boolean execute(String arg0, IConfigElement arg1, ArgumentList arg2, Context context, Component component, Map arg5) {//your business code//for example : If you want to get another objectid /* if (!StringUtil.isEmptyOrNull(strObjectId)){ ArgumentList myarg = new ArgumentList(); myarg.add("objectId", strObjectId); return ActionService.execute("view", myarg, null, component, null); } else{ return false; }*/}if you have any questions please

Hi kalja, thank you for your suggestion.

So if I understand correctly, I need to customize the view action with my own to add my business logic and launch it.

Now which "view" action do I need to extend?

dm_folder_actions.xml ?? under webtop config?

there is an <action id="view"> in it.

Should I create a new xml file extending this one and replacing my execution class?

Thank you for the clarifications.

Hi NanoMeko,

Yes

dm_folder_actions.xml ?? under webtop config?

dm_sysobject_actions.xml

there is an <action id="view"> in it.

Should I create a new xml file extending this one and replacing my execution class?

Yes

Thank you for the clarifications.

NanoMeko,

I will propsse another solution, is to create a new action

for example :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <config version='1.0'> <scope> <action id="new action"> <execution class="your classe execution" /> </action> </scope> </onfig> in this classe you put :public boolean execute(String arg0, IConfigElement arg1, ArgumentList arg2, Context context, Component component, Map arg5) {/* user guide opened using std wdk view component */String strObjectId = new_valueif(!StringUtil.isEmptyOrNull(strObjectId)){ArgumentList myarg = new ArgumentList();myarg.add("objectId", strObjectId);return ActionService.execute("view", myarg, null, component, null);}else{return false;}}

Hi kalja,

Thank you for the helpful answer. I do like your idea of creating a new action that calls the view action.

I can access my new action when I press the button after implementing IActionExecution.

However, it doesn't jump to my folder. It just removes my menubar (where the button is)..

public boolean execute(String arg0, com.documentum.web.formext.config.IConfigElement arg1,

ArgumentList arg2, com.documentum.web.formext.config.Context arg3,

Component arg4, Map arg5)

{

String strObjectId = "0b0228d08000d506";

if(!StringUtil.isEmptyOrNull(strObjectId))

{

ArgumentList myarg = new ArgumentList();

myarg.add("objectId", strObjectId);

return ActionService.execute("view", myarg, null, arg4, null);

}

else

{

return false;

}

In debug mode arg4 is my menubar component.

Any idea?

Hi NanoMeko,

In the file xml of the action try:

.....

execution class......

<component>objectlist</component>

<container>navigationcontainer</container>

</execution>

.....

Hi kalja,

It still doesn't seem to jump. It only hides the menu bar where my action button is located and doesn't go to the folder.

My config file is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<scope>

<component>objectlist</component>

<container>navigationcontainer</container>

</action>

</scope>

</config>

my actionbutton is:

<dmfx:actionbutton name='quickJump' action='quickjump_action' nlsid='Go' tooltipnlsid='MSG_QJ'>

</dmfx:actionbutton>

setComponentJump

component being the objectlist

arg being the obejct ID of destination folder

Once objectlist opens, there is UI code to sync/open with the browser tree node

from classic.js ... take a look at objectlist to get the correct args

postComponentJumpEvent(null, "objectlist", "content", "folderIds", getNodeIds(id), "type", type, "processStartupAction", "true", "objectId", objectId);

Not sure if I follow you completely Brian.

Are you saying that instead of my custom action I should do it all client side? using a regular button with a runatclient javascript that calls postComponentJumpEvent ?

Component Jump can be done from client or server. Ist is server side 2nd is client... up to you to use which ever is best

Thanks Brian for pointing me to the right direction.

I am now trying to jump directly from the jsp.

I checked like you mentioned in classic.js to try to follow the same call to postJumpEvent.

postComponentJumpEvent(null, "objectlist", "content", "folderIds", getNodeIds("0b0228d08000d506"), "type", "dm_folder", "processStartupAction", "true", "objectId", "0b0228d08000d506");

This however is not working. Perhaps the getNodeIds parameter is in correct. Should I pass it the object-id of the folder?

Try calling it from server side

ArgumentList jumpArgs = new ArgumentList();
jumpArgs.add("container", "content");
jumpArgs.add("folderIds", !!!your id here!!!);

jumpArgs.add("type", !!insert type here if you know it.!!);

setComponentJump("objectlist", jumpArgs, getContext());

OK. So I tried server side. However, it looks like this loads the component inside the menubar.

It doesn't act like a drl link to the folder by expanding the treeview and showing the contents of the folder as needed.

ArgumentList jumpArgs = new ArgumentList();

jumpArgs.add("container", "content");

jumpArgs.add("folderIds", "0b0228d08000d507");

jumpArgs.add("type", "dm_folder");

setComponentJump("objectlist", jumpArgs, getContext());

Hi NanoMeko,

you can send us a little drawing of your user interface? to see where you put your button

Kalja.

Here is an image of my button.

When the user types the value of a certain attribute of my dm_folder decendent and clicks on GO. It should browse to that folder in the treeview and show the files in that folder after calculating the object id of course.

This is the same thing that happens if we bookmark the drl to that folder of the form: http://localhost:8081/webtop/drl/objectId/0c0228d08000417f.

I hope it helps.

you have me intersted now but do not have time atmo... will figure it out tonight

Working but moved functionality to titlebar.jsp. see attached.

Funny thing, the browser tree is not updating!! That could be a performance thing, think there is a flag to force a refresh of the browsertree

btw.. this make a very handy developer tool, can jump straight to a test folder. Can use docbase scope so it never get see in production

<scope scope="gatwick2011">

Hello Brian,

I can confirm that this works by loading the folder contents on the right side of the interface but without updating the treeview.

function onQuickJump()
{
   var contentPage = eval(getAbsoluteFramePath("content"));
   if (contentPage != null)
   {
      postComponentJumpEvent(null, "objectlist", "content", "folderIds", "0b0228d08000d507");
   }
}

I still need to figure out how where/how to ask the server to calculate the r_object_id from the value in the text box and of course how to expand the treeview but this points me to the right direction.

Glad it works for you, works brilliant for me. Will be part of my developer kit.

You could try server side call again,
or use an AJAX (enabled control) to fetch object ID before performing the jump
