FormApi: onSaveNameSpecified and setDCRName

RonaldV

Hi,

i'm trying to check and modify the name of a dcr (replace whitespace and at a .dcr extension) at the onSaveNameSpecified-event. However calling the IWDCRInfo.setDCRName function has NO result. Meaning the dcr is simply saved by the name the user entered.

Any hints?

Here is my js-code:

var version = '20050722';
var showdebug = 1;

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveNameSpecified", checkDcrName);

function checkDcrName(path) {
if (IWDCRInfo.getDCRName() != '') {
//already set, do nothing
debug('Name already set: ' + IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
} else {
var dirOrig, nameOrig;
var re = new RegExp('(.*)/([^/]+)$');
if (path.match(re)) {
dirOrig = RegExp.$1;
nameOrig = RegExp.$2;
}
debug(nameOrig);

//replace all whitespaces by _
var nameNew = nameOrig.replace(/ /g, '_');
debug(nameNew);

//take off any trailing dots
nameNew = nameNew.replace(/\.*$/g, '');

//add .dcr extension if not already done
if (! nameNew.match(/\.dcr$/)) {
nameNew += '.dcr';
}

//alert if something changed
if (nameOrig != nameNew) {
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(dirOrig + '/' + nameNew, wait());
alert('Dcr-naam gewijzigd in "' + nameNew + '".');
}
}

return true;
}

function wait() {
var cnt = 0;
while (IWDCRInfo.getStatus() == IWDCRInfo.PENDING && cnt < 10) {
alert(IWDCRInfo.getStatus());
cnt++;
}
alert('Status: ' + IWDCRInfo.getStatus() + ': ' + IWDCRInfo.getDCRName ());
}


function debug(msg) {
if (showdebug) {alert(msg);}
}

debug('checkDcrName.js version ' + version + ' loaded');

Can somebody teach the people at Iwov how to write proper documentation?

Here is the story. Calling IWDCRInfo.setDCRName will do something but will NOT save the dcr under this new name. So you will have to call IWDatacapture.save() after setDCRName AND then prevent Teamsite from saving the same dcr twice by returning false to the event. (Who has thought of this procedure??)

Anyway some working sample code. Good luck with it:

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveNameSpecified", checkDcrName);

function checkDcrName(path) {
if (IWDCRInfo.getDCRName() != '') {
//already set, do nothing
debug('Name already set: ' + IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
} else {
var pathNew = '/your/new/name.dcr';
debug('Setting name to ' + pathNew);
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(pathNew);
IWDatacapture.save();
//at this point the dcr is allready saved so we MUST prevent a second save
return false;

}
return true;
}
