Cross branch browser not totally working

lj1958

I am trying to create a template in TS 6.5 SP2 running on Windows that can browse to select a file in another branch in order to create a link to a pdf. We have been using PERL and regex in the presentation template to weed out the parts of link paths we don't need for the finished web page. There is one workarea that the browser will go to every time to select the pdf. Here is my problem. I have tried the one line of code that's supposed to call up the cross branch browser through cgi-callout.

<cgi-callout label="Browser" url="/iw-cc/command/iw.formspub.browse_for_link?vpath=/ssc/main/StatesNet50/common_docs/WORKAREA/common_docs/jsp_files/docs&hier_callback=eval(callback_81_function(path){opener.parent.getScriptFrame().IWDatacapture.getItem{"/pick_file").setValue(path);}}"/>

I have also tried creating a custom javascript based on the Cross Branch Browser thread on the forums.

Both will pull up the file browser window and allow me to select the file (and it appears in the textbox at the bottom of the browser window), but then the OK button appears to be disabled. I don't get a javascript error, the OK button just doesn't work. The Cancel button works.

Anyone have an idea why my code is working up to a point and then not executing

You can achieve this as follows:

in DCT: Have an pdf browse item with the callout as:

[HTML]

Link
Link for the above title

[/HTML]

In FormAPI:
[HTML]
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler('/links/section/link/link', 'onCallout', doBrowse);

function doBrowse(itemObject)
{
var itemName = itemObject.getName();
var vpath = '//'+server+'/default/main/Global_share/WORKAREA/Publishers/';
var ceiling = '//'+server+'/default/main/Global_share/WORKAREA/';

window.open('/iw-cc/command/iw.formspub.browse_for_link?vpath='+vpath+
'&ceiling='+ceiling+
'&hier_callback=eval(callback_81=function(path){opener.parent.getScriptFrame().doBrowseCallBack("'+itemName+'", path)})',
'Browse','scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=500');
}

function doBrowseCallBack(itemName, path)
{
var path = new String(path);
path = path.replace(/.*[\\\/]WORKAREA[\\\/][^\\\/]*/, "/Content/Global/Assets");
IWDatacapture.getItem(itemName).setValue(path);
}
[/HTML]

I do not know (and do not care) where you get this code but there are numerous bugs in it.

You use underscore in the place of the equal sign. "callback_81_function{...}" must be "callback_81=function{...}".
You set incorrect (and incorrectly nested) curly brackets in getItem call, etc... Unless it's all multiple typos it is extremely hard to beleive
that this garbage could produce anything but JS syntax errors

Boris,

I appreciate the information you included in the message, but as you are likely well aware at this point, certain comments discourage people from seeking out assistance via the forums. I've seen it happen before, so I wasn't totally unprepared for that type of reaction. I really don't care if a few people on the DevNet forums think I am stupid because things are obvious to them that aren't obvious to me - I want to get the job done and learn what I need to learn.

I DID read through the other messages on the topic, and have about 20 pages printed out. The custom JavaScript I created was much like what BlueWhale posted, I just didn't want to copy and paste (especially since I didn't have time yesterday to look into the "pretty code formatting" posts that exist somewhere in the forums).

BlueWhale,

Thank you for your generous attempt to assist me.

The first suggestion, on its own, produces a JavaScript error upon pressing the "Browse Global" button

The error is: Javascript&colon;void(0)

I will look over the second suggestion as compared to the custom JavaScript I tried yesterday and see what is different.

Remember, with what I tried earlier, browsing itself actually worked, it was the OK button on the pop-up window that appeared to be disabled.

Thanks again.

If you ask people for help and consider that it's not worth your while to even make your code readable, what do you expect?

You did not have time to debug your code even a little (it has syntax errors, forget about functionality!), did not
have time to explain what you've already tried and did not even "have time to look into the [...] code formatting".
Why exactly do you think we should have time to do all that for you? After all, it's your job that you are getting paid to do.

Matter of fact, despite my frustration I did show you two places where your code is wrong. Did you fix it? Does it work now?
If the answer is "Yes", you are welcome I guess...

lj1958

Yes, the code is fixed, and working well, implemented on two different forms in two different branches.

It was BlueWhale's second example that assisted me in figuring out what to do. That example wasn't complete, but comparing it with some of the earlier posts started me on the right path. So, thanks, BlueWhale.

BlueWhale

You're welcome. Even I had that code from one of the devnet posts Smiley Happy
