path navigation in TeamSite

maru

Hi,

Is there any way i can get the navigation path (the one that is besides "My Favorites" or below "Search", "Compare", "Get Latest", "Submit" options) through FormAPI or Perl??...

What i'm trying to accomplish is to avoid user editing forms through templatedata folder... we've got an html folder that is the one that users should use, with this i mean that they need to navigate directly to that folder and edit the desired page from there; therefore, everytime a user tries to edit a form in templatedata folder directly i wanna send a message stating that he must use html folder instead.

For this i thought that if i can read the navigation path when the form loads, i would be able to send the message and close the form automatically -if the user navigates until templatedata folder- otherwise i'll let them use the form as usual.

Is there any event or method in FormAPI or Perl that can let me know where the user is in the navigation or that can tell me if the user is in the html folder or templatedata folder?

Ex.
If user is here, it's ok:
//server/default/main/USA/Web/branch-name/english/WORKAREA/P/html

But here, i'll send the message
//server/default/main/USA/Web/branch-name/english/WORKAREA/P/templatedata

If you can help me, i will appreciate it.

I'm using TS 6.7.1 SP1 in windows environment.

Thanks.

Since FormAPI is essentially a JS interface you can check a URL that has been used by FormsPublisher to invoke a DCR Page.

In FormAPI check a Value of self.parent.location. It *should* contain full action URL that FormsPublisher posted to
render the DCT Form.  'vpath' Parameter there will show you the source File, DCR, HTML, whatever. Note that it may be
HTML-encoded %xx line.
