How to get NodeRef of a document using javascript

sbsrulz

Hi,

I would like to write a JavaScript that associates a file with some already existing document in the repository as soon as the file is uploaded. I know I can use the createAssociation function but I have some trouble getting the nodeRef for the documents. So my question is:

How can I get the NodeRef for already uploaded document and the file being uploaded using JavaScript?

Thanks,
SbS

That depends on how you want to find the document in order to get it's nodeRef.

Check out the JavaScript API here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_For_Alfresco_2.1
…and also the Cookbook with a number of examples here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_Cookbook

You can also browse through "out of the box" JavaScript code by starting from http://<server>/alfresco/service/index

Thanks,

I have been through the examples but I couldn't sort out my prob. Here's my scenario:

I have a custom content type of 'customer form' that the admin uploads to a space. The customer's signature files (images) are uploaded to a separate space. Now I want the customer's form to be associated automatically with his signature file as soon as the customer's form are uploaded. I have the types defined and can do all this in the web client but I want to use Javascript to handle this situation.

I was trying to use CreateAssociation() but I need nodeRef or ScriptNode in order to refer to the customer's form and their signature files. How can I get that?

A little elaboration would be helpful…

You need to do a search for the customer's signature file and you'd obtain the nodeRef from that. Depends what you've got to search on: name, folder, etc.

e.g. search.luceneSearch("+@cm\\:name:" + customer)
