Customizing Smart Context Editing (SCE)

Is there a way to customize SCE?

Here's what we are trying to do .....
When the approver gets a html file for review, he sees it in the To Do List. He clicks the file and the file opens up in the browser with SCE enabled. We need to call a custom cgi script via the SCE, with the previewed file (name and path) passed to it.

I do not believe the SCE toolbar allows for such customization. I suggest you contact Interwoven Support and ask to have a feature request opened in your behalf.

The work-around may be to have the user click on the task link, and use a cgitask that can execute your custom code (unclear of the preceise details, so unclear of the precise work-around - but hopefuly the above will lead you to a workable solution)

...and
there could be a crude way to execute your custom CGI from SCE interface. That could be a workflow based approach. You could have a worklfow for "assign" event which can be kicked off by clciking assign button on SCE toolbar.

You need a custom workflow with a cgitask to call your custom cgi. Then it should have an endtask. In the available_templates config file, add an entry for this custom workflow with assign event.

1. User is in SCE interface
2. User click assign
3. List of workflows with assign event is presented in a browser.
4. user selects this custom workflow
5. This custom workflow has a cgi task and that cgitask calls your custom cgi.

Ofcourse I am not sure what exactly your custom CGI is trying to accomplish, so maybe or maybe not this workaround will work...
Hope this helps!
