Browsertree and menubar

elvinkwok

Hi all,

I add a node on browsertreeex.xml

<node componentid="preferences">

<icon>logo_16.gif</icon>

<label>Preferences</label>

</node>

and add a menu on menubar.xml

<menuconfigids>

<id>menubar_test_menu</id>

</menuconfigids>

</component>

<menuconfig id="menubar_test_menu">

<menu name="test_menu" nlsid="MSG_TEST" width="50" >

<actionmenuitem dynamic="genericnoselect" name="test" nlsid="MSG_TEST" action="test" showifinvalid="true"/>

</menu>

</menuconfig>

So, how I can onclick the "Preferences", the will show the pull-down menu "test", I can't find that there relationships between browsertree and menubar.

I don't know why that when I onclick "My File" menu on browsertree, it will show the "test" menu. how should I do? please give me some help! thank you so much!

Best regards!

There is no relation between the browsertree and menubar. So, to achieve wat you want, dont touch the browsertree component.

In the menubar component, find the <menu name="file_menu"> tag corresponding to the File menu and include your <actionmenuitem> tag inside that. This will bring your menu item Test under the File menu.

Hi Karthik

Thank you for you reply!

I don't want to insert a menu under the File menu. I need to custom the browsertree and menubar.

I want to adding two nodes on the browsertree and I create a new menu on the menubar. it have two submenu

When I onclick the "My Files", the meun "File" will show "help,","about","logout", right? and then when I onclick the "Cabinets", the "File" menu will show "new","open","save as "and so on.

So, I want to custom the browsertree and the menubar, I know the menu use filter , but I don't know the browsertree how to configure to change menu's submenu.

When clicking on browsertree in sets ApplicationLocation according to current node.

<id>menubar_test_menu</id>

</filter>

</menuconfigids>

Whatever you are specifying, they are NOT enabled based on the browser tree node.

where do you want your menu item to appear?

when should it appear?

and, what should show up in the right-side of the screen when the new browser node is selected?

Firstly explain what you are trying to achieve in your first post, not half way through a thread... it wastes peoples time

All those items are configured to be on the File menu. But they are displayed when appropiate. This is controlled by:

menu scoping, (e.g. scope type="dm_cabinet"
filters (which you have mentioned so I assume you have at least read some manual)
preconditions
- <precondition class="com.documentum.web.formext.action.ActionDisablerPrecondition"/>
For performance reasons, some items will be displayed but the action is not vaild, e.g. delete or prmote, The validation for the action can be done on component launch, e.g
- <execution class="com.documentum.web.formext.action.LaunchComponentWithPermitCheck">

Browser tree is used to launch main sections of the UI. For a client I added a custom Reports node.
