Adding item to function menu

Matthew_Ouslander

 

Hello all,

I am trying to develop a module to add an item to the drop down function menu for documents.

I have created the module and made it installable in Content Server using the instructions I found in the module developers guide that came with the builder.

Now I am trying to add the menu item I want to appear by modifying my new module's WebNodeAction and WebNodeCmd leafs.

In the _Nodetypes script for the WebNodeAction, what do I list to have this menu item appear for all document types?  The goal is to feed the object into a custom image viewer, so I would ideally like to limit this menu item to TIFFs, JPGs, and GIFs.  But I would settle for getting it to work with any "document".

Also, in the WebNodeCmd, how do I specify my external viewer.  The URL I want to add is:

javascript:void(window.open('/ImageViewer/viewer.html?objid='+%objid%,'ImageViewer','toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes'));

Would I add that do the fQueryString?

 

Thanks!

by default the Function Menu code only uses the /Livelink/llisapi.dll part of the full URL ,so you may be best off doing the following :

 

1. Create a new Request Handler

2. Create a Weblingo page for the new Request Handler that redirects to your custom viewer and then closes the itself.

3. Point your Function Menu WebNodeCmd and WebNodeAction at this new Request Handler.
