Removing Approve Button on All Content instance forms

Hi ,

I am trying to remove the Approve button from all Content Instance forms in VCM 7.6. Also i would like to rename the Apply Button to Apply/Approve or something like that. The reason for this ,we would like to auto approve content instances.

The approach that i am trying to auto approve content is through a PrePersistance listener and for removing the approve button i followed these steps , but i dont see any change happening .Can you please let me know

1. Is the approac for approving content ok.

2. How do i remove the approve button

These are the steps i followed to remove approve button

1. Copied the xml for buttons from

Vignette Configuration Console > Vignette Content > Vignette Content Management Services > Vignette Management Console > Service Provider Framework > View Template Registry > System View Template Registry > Default Buttons for ContentInstance

2. Created a View template under Customer Extension View Template Registry

Display name of Template : Default Buttons for ContentInstance

Template name : CUST_BUTTON_BAR_ContentInstance

In the XML field : I placed the xml i copied in step 1 after modifying the template name to CUST_BUTTON_BAR_ContentInstance

Also i modified the required capability for the approve button to some non existing capability like VCM_NO_SHOW

Pushed the changes and commited.

Regards

Kishore

The approach is correct, You can implement a prePersistence create/updatelistener which sets the approved status. Please remember that you don't have tocommit the object inside an event listener.

To make the required customizations to the commands of theproperty page, create the following class

---------------------------------

package com.vignette.as.ui.common.property.commands;

importcom.vignette.as.ui.common.property.events.ButtonCommandEvent;

importcom.vignette.as.ui.common.property.PropertyPageButton;

importcom.vignette.as.client.exception.ValidationException;

import com.vignette.as.client.exception.ApplicationException;

importcom.vignette.as.client.exception.AuthorizationException;

import java.util.List;

import java.util.Iterator;

public class ModifierCommand extends RefreshCommand{

public void listen(ButtonCommandEvent buttonEvent) throwsValidationException, ApplicationException, AuthorizationException {

super.listen(buttonEvent);

if(ButtonCommandEvent.DO_PREINIT.equals(buttonEvent.getSourceCommandId())){

List buttonList =buttonEvent.getPropertyPage().getButtonList();

Iterator iter = buttonList.iterator();

while(iter.hasNext()){

PropertyPageButtonbutton=(PropertyPageButton)iter.next();

String command =button.getCommand();

if(command.equals("doModify")|| command.equals("doApplyApprove")){

button.setVisible(false);

} elseif(command.equals("doApply")){

button.setLabel("Apply/Approve");

}

-----------------------------------------------------

and register the command as "doModify"

ciao

This is explained in the extensibility guide.

You define your custom button in theSTD_BUTTON_BAR_ContentInstance view spec by adding a component such as

<component

name="myCommand">

<button

image-url="/AppConsole"

text-label="MyCommand"

action="com.vignette.as.ui.common.property.commands.MyCommand">

</button>

</component>

please notice that the"name" of the component becomes the command id and the action mustmatch the class you deploy.

Remember that the jar which willcontain such a class must be deployed to VCM with configp and must also beincluded inside *any* other extension package (war/ear)
