Import Customization - Type restriction

Hi,

We have two folder types say for example FolderA and FolderB. And a custom document type, Doc1.

While Importing any file under FolderA, the type should be set to Doc1 by default. On the other hand, inside FolderB, it should retain the out of box functionality of import i.e., to list all the types.

I extended the "import:webcomponent/config/library/contenttransfer/importcontent/import_component.xml" and scope it with the type name.

<document-docbase-base-type>Doc1</document-docbase-base-type>

<document-docbase-type>Doc1</document-docbase-type>

<folder-docbase-type>dm_folder</folder-docbase-type>

<document_filter>

<preset_item id="type_filter">

</entries>

</selection>

</preset_item>

</document_filter>

</component>

</scope>

<document-docbase-base-type>dm_document</document-docbase-base-type>

<document-docbase-type>dm_document</document-docbase-type>

<folder-docbase-type>dm_folder</folder-docbase-type>

</component>

</scope>

But this is not working. As far as I found that type scoping would not work for import.

Please help me to figure out the solution for this.

Thanks to your help - Johnny and Senthil.

I custmised the import component and acheived the requirement as you have mentioned. I am posting the code to help someone in future.

protected String getDocbaseType()

{

super.getDocbaseType();

if(strParentFolderType.equalsIgnoreCase("FOLDER B"))

{

return isDirectory() ? "dm_folder" : "dm_document";

}

else if (strParentFolderType.equalsIgnoreCase("Folder A"))

{

return isDirectory() ? "Custom type Folder type" : "Custom type document type(Doc1)";

}

else

{

return super.getDocbaseType();

}

protected void initDropDownListControl() {

DataDropDownList typeList = getTypeListControl(true);

typeList.setValue(getDocbaseType());

typeList.setEnabled(false);

}

Using the method 'initDropDownListControl()' , I disabled the typelist. So, that the end users cannot modify the types.

Customize the import component class and implement your logic in there.

Thanks Johnny.

I am a newbie to Webtop Customization. Can you please post any sample code.

You can customize the ImportComponent class to acheive this requirement.

You can find out the type of folder inwhich user has selected for import by getting the folderid from argumentlist in oninit method.

According to folder type, you can replace the "type" parameter from argumentlist.

public void onInit(ArgumentList args) {

String folderid = args.get("folderid");
// Then find the object type of folder.

// if folder type is FolderA, do the following
{
args.replace("type", "Doc1");
}

// if folder type is FolderB, dont replace type argument.

super.onInit(args);
}
