get latest in WebDesk

We wanted the authors to perform the Get Latest operation in WebDesk. To perform the operation we are planning to create a custom menu item and call it from iw.cfg file. How do we create a custom menu item for the get latest operation.

Appreciate your response

?? In WebDesk, "Undo changes" does a get-latest, correct? At least that's what it does on my system.

At any rate, you can create custom menu items by:

1. Writing a CGI program that does what you want, and putting it in iw-home/httpd/iw-bin
2. Adding a custom_menu_item... entry in iw.cfg for your CGI (see iw.cfg.example for syntax).
3. Make sure you put , "500" at the end of the custom menu entry to enable the menu item for both the webdesk and webdeskpro interfaces.

And, in this custom CGI you could use TeamSite command line tool "iwupdate" to performt he getlatest operation.
Please refer to Command Line tools guide for syntax and usage.

Actually it's usually a matter of adding: "", "500" to the end of an existing custom menu item entry - I forget what the first (or actually, second-to-last) parameter is, but you need both pieces in order for it to work, then you need to do an iwreset -ui and logout of TeamSite and log back in, in order to see the effect in WebDesk
