ECM Connector 2.0 - Calling from FormAPI

anew

Hello

I'd like to call the ECM 2.0 browser window from FormAPI rather than using the dialog options in the DCT. However I'm not sure on the usage of the container window iw.group.formspub.show_dialog.

The issue that I'm having with the URL below is the callback. I think this callback function is only available in the iw.group.formspub.show_dialog window but I'm not sure how to call iw.ecmconnector.browse_mediabin from the iw.group.formspub.show_dialog wrapper.

This URL calls the ECM browser but I am unable to callback. I'm close I think. Any help would be much appreciated

Is there any specific reason to do this? existing not fulfilling your requirement? though I don't think this will be supported.

Thanks for your reply Nicholas.

The nice thing about ECM 1.1 was that you were able to manipulate the image path on callback through FormAPI. Adding subpaths or even a leading "/".

Also we were able to call the ECM connector through the VFE editor replacing the OOTB image button with a call to the MediaBin ECM browser.

We are also exploring the possiblity of adding the ECM connector to the meta data screen in TeamSite.

In the case of the VFE toolbar, we need the ability to call the MediaBin browser from a URL even if we are not able to change the callback function.

The ECM Connector 2.0 feature is not exposed via Form API or publicly supported URLs. The only supported solution for including it in a form is via the element. There is nothing to prevent you from reverse engineering the URL, but things may change in future releases and you will have to redo you customizations.

Your point about ECM 1.1 being more flexible than ECM 2.0 is spot on. A toolkit with source code is always more flexible than a productized feature. On the flip side, the ECM Connector 2.0 is easier to configure, more robust and has many additional features (search, direct import, MediaBin runtime params, etc.). I will file a feature request for proper "Form API access", but I can't make any promises about when it will be available.

want to confirm that FormAPI call should be supported to VFE if want to add image there or enabling some button in VFE to add image from MediaBin would be great help.

Thanks Nicholas

Yes, I incldued a link to your devnet post when I filed the feature request. I want to be clear that filing of a feature request does not guarantee the feature will be included. However, it does make sure it does not slip anyones mind when we are planning future releases.

Was this ever addressed? Does any one have the FR number?
