Custom Function for custom $ApplType

I created a custom $ApplType and subtype. Basically, I have a custom folder subtype which will contain other custom folders, normal folders, and files. I created a Menu Function called "Publish Now". I would like to have that menu option appear for all objects inside a directory (or type) of my choosing. I have been having a difficult time trying to figure out the best way to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello AFMCUser3

All this and much more is covered in theBuilder course. It really is a bit much to describe to you in a single emailbut if you work through the Livelink Development Guide supplied with theBuilder Help files and pay particular attention to the section on creating newnodes, you should find everything you need.

Doesn't setting the __nodeTypes limit it to ONLY the nodes (subtypes) listed? For example, if my ApplType is set to 2100 and I set the __nodetype on my cmd to 210 won't it ONLY work for the custom foler? I need it to work on all the objects inside the folder but NOT the actual folder.Howard,I will be at the next SDK training coming up here in a week or so.

Yes you are right.What you then need to to do is to write a _Enabled function that checks that the father is th4e correct one and return TRUE

Message from via eLink> Use WebnodeAction and set _NodeTypes to the Nodes that should > have the command...Also, in the Node Command set the <_NodeTypes> accordingly and use thescript <_SubclassIsEnabled> to programmatically enable or disable the nodecommand in the Function Menu depending on whether the object at hand isinside your customized folder or not. Do the check in that script itself,where you receive the DAPINODE of your object as a parameter.For certain customized objects that can only exist inside your customizedfolder you will not need to perform any checks, simply have the scriptreturn TRUE, but if you have a common document, you'll need to check whetherany parents are of your customized folder subtype. Uhmm, not sure if that was clear... hope it helps.Regards, CurroThis email message is intended only for the use of the named recipient.Information contained in this email message and its attachments may beprivileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Hmm. Youreally need to enumerate the nodetypes you want your function to work upon.That is, if you create your new folder type – let’s call it a suggestion box –then you will specify what types of things can go inside your suggestion box.Now you can also specify the functions that will work on those types of thingsthat go inside your suggestion box. Of course, if those things that go insideyour suggestion box can ALSO go inside other things (like folders, CDs,projects) then your new function will work on those things regardless of wherethey are in Livelink.
