change function of Preview and Generate

Hi,

We are using teamsite 5.5. I now we can't change the name of the buttons and can't make them invisible.
We want to change the functionality from these buttons is this possible. We now there are no events thrown by this button. The documentation is giving the following example code:

function saveHandler(button) {
switch (button) {
case IWDatacapture.SAVE_BUTTON:
case IWDatacapture.SAVEAS_BUTTON:
case IWDatacapture.SAVECLOSE_BUTTON:
// User clicked 'Save', 'Save As' or 'Save and Close'
...
break;
case IWDatacapture.PREVIEW_BUTTON:
case IWDatacapture.GENERATE_BUTTON:
// User clicked 'Preview' or 'Generate'
...
break;
}
}

When we copy it in the datacapture file it isn't working. What do we have to do to make this working. Is it possible to change the functionality of these buttons.

With kind regards,
pietjev

Hi pietjev

It is not supported by Interwoven to hide the buttons in TeamSite 5.5. This is out-of-the-box functionality in TeamSite 6 though -- yet another reason to upgrade

However, I have attached a script which should enable you to hide the buttons in an unsupported manner (if you so choose).

Hope this helps?

Cheers, Michael

We don't want to delete the buttons but to change the functionality and to change the name. Changing the functionality is the most important part.

Michael

What exactly is the functionality that you want to provide? You can do some things in the PT but it really depends on what you need.

We want to do a remote server call [callServer()] to the interwoven server to launch a couple of perl scripts.

Michael

Hi

callServer() is a formAPI call -- you use formAPI in your DCT not your PT. If you want to kick off a perl script from your PT how about using a iw-perl tag and calling it in there?

Alternatively you can use callServer() in your DCT on something like an onSave event.

Hope this helps?

Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael
I was unable to get your code to have any effect on my SaveAs button (using the code as-is). I placed the js file in the same folder as datacapture.cfg, and placed the line
<script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="ButtonDisabler.js"/>
just above my FormAPI SCRIPT tag.
What else do I need to do? Do I need to call the handleButtons() function explicitly?
Thanks
