As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

Jira is NullPointerExceptionning so …


Adding a 'go to root'  link in space selector would be useful when a complex space structure is present, it would be useful to go to root directly instead of clicking 'go up' back to root (N times when deep inside the tree)

I needed it too bad as I have too much rules to create.

The following will add to the space selector component a green arrow that allows to go to root (company home) in one click no matter how deep in spaces you are.

I has not been thoroughly tested yet, not sure what happens with the category selector. So do not use this in production before it gets validated.

Still got 50+ rules to create


Please, could s.o. from the Alfresco staff stamp this code OK

In class org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.AbstractItemSelector, add this declaration

private static final String MSG_GO_ROOT = "go_root";
‍‍‍

Then go to webclient.properties and add this line

go_root=Go to Root
‍‍‍

Get back to the AbstractItemSelector class, look for the line

renderNodeLink(context, id, Application.getMessage(context, MSG_GO_UP), upImage, buf);
‍‍‍

and just the line before, insert

renderNodeLink(context, null , Application.getMessage(context, MSG_GO_ROOT), upImage, buf);
‍‍‍

To gavinc : at first I was looking for some way to find the root id using some method, thanks to your comment in the code, I tried to use null. So I say it again, you guys have your code well commented. Bravo !


There you are, I think I desserve a Tshirt for this major contribution

Oh, ok, well, ok ——->[]
