Creating Custom Action in IBM Content Navigator 2.0.3

In this session am going to walk you through how to create a custom Action for ICN 2.0.3 version using IBM Plugin.


Use Case Scenario:

Usually any document in the filenet repository will be added by using AddDocument Action from the ToolBar Menu then you would add document by giving some title to the document,

in our scenario when document is added with the same name of any other document already resides in repository we need to give caution to user that document is already added in the repository.

We are going to develop this custom SearchBase AddDocument Action button using IBM plugin.

Starting Code:

I will take you through each and every step from the start point to endpoint of whole development process.

1:Creating Plugin Project

      --Open Up your Eclipse create new IBM Content navigator Plugin



--Give project name and package name,Navigator.jar location and click on next until it says finish.

--Right click on project create new Action Name it as searchBasedAddDocument click on finish.




Now lets start actual coding part.

2.After you create action  eclipse creates a  "searchBase AddDocument" Attach point in .js file .

3.To add any document we need a contentPane that allows a user to add document this can be achieved by calling AddContentItemDialog object ,this can be created as follows

define("Add Content Item Dialog",function(adddialog))
       { 
               var current=this;
               current=new adddialog(); 
       }


//here current is an object of AddContentItemDialog ,now lets open dialog (you can do this by calling current.show())

current.show(repository,items[0],true,false,null,teamspace,false,null);

4.Once you had dialog content pane ,you can get all the properties of document by using  current.addContentItemPropertiesPane.getPropertiesJSON() call this gives you all properties of document.

then get the document title and search against repository the result will be ecm.model.ResultSet object representing set of Objects Items.if we had any objectItem  from the result it means there is a document presented already in repository so we need to give an alert to user .

//see the whole code that implemented for the Action.


require(["dojo/_base/declare",
         "dojo/_base/lang",
         "ecm/widget/dialog/AddContentItemDialog",

function(declare, lang,adddialog,searchquery,contentItem,requestobj,ConfirmationDialog) {
/**
* Use this function to add any global JavaScript methods your plug-in requires.
*/
lang.setObject("searchBase AddDocument", function(repository, items, callback, teamspace, resultSet, parameterMap) {
 /*
  * Add custom code for your action here. For example, your action might launch a dialog or call a plug-in service.
  */


var documentname;
var current=this;
current=new adddialog();
var content=new contentItem();

current.show(repository,items[0],true,false,null,teamspace,false,null);

current.onAdd=function(){
//get the item id


//get item document title
content.setAddContentItemDialog(current);
var properties = current.addContentItemPropertiesPane.getPropertiesJSON();
alert(properties);
for (var key in properties) {
 if (properties.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
   var val = properties[key];
   if(val.name==="DocumentTitle"){
    documentname=val.value;
   }
   console.log("Object name is"+val.name+"-- Its value is "+val.value);
   //console.log(val);
 }
}


if(documentname!=null && documentname!==""){

});
});



5.create a jar file using Ant or any other tool by which you are familiar.

6.Now add this plugin to navigator As shown in below

       6.1.Open your navigator desktop in Administrator mode



    6.2.open Plugins from context menu


    6.3.create a new plugin and give the jar file path thats it.you can able to see your custom action in Context Menus if you add these Action in Menus. (To test this Action i was added this action to Folder Context Menu)




Run ScreenShots:


1.Opening Folder Context Action


2.Am adding a document with title which is already presented in the repository.(You might expect a alert ).

Hello, could you share .jar please!!! my mail is Regards

Where did you get the Content Navigator .jars to put into Eclipse to provide the "new" project type?

Unknown said...

Great Job!
