New Action Page Sample Backup Action not running

rcrittendon

I tried the backup-action example on the page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Document_Library_Action. The Backup menu displays for documents, but when I select the menu nothing happens. No message results, I do not think anything ran.

I added the web-scripts to Alfresco, made sure that the script was added to Alfresco etc.

P.S. Is there any documentation on best-practices to get a dialog to display for a custom action?

Hi!…
Same problem here… Anyone with a solution??
Thanks!

The code has moved on a bit since that article was written, so the javascript won't run correctly. change backup-action.js to change the extended class namespace and remove the getRecord() function call:

   Alfresco.doclib.Actions.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(file)
   {
      this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      …‍‍‍‍

Thanks,

Thank you for the info on this Mike.

I made the change to the javascript as you indicated. Unfortunately I am not seeing it run (cleared my cache on the browser too).

Am I missing something else?

 
Alfresco.doclib.Actions.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(file)
   {
      //var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();

Is the JavaScript included with a <script> tag, or a <@script> tag?

<script type="text/javascript" src="${page.url.context}/components/documentlibrary/backup-action.js"></script>
vs
<@script type="text/javascript" src="${page.url.context}/components/documentlibrary/backup-action.js"></@script>‍‍‍

If it's the <@script> version, you'll also have to have a backup-action-min.js file alongside the backup-action.js one as I suspect you'll be running with the client-side debug flag off (in web-framework-config-application.xml or an override in web-extensions). You don't need to compress the file, but it does need to be there. The symptom will be pretty obvious if you're running Firefox with Firebug, or Safari with Inspector on, as the -min.js will show as an HTTP 404 error.

Thanks,
Mike

rcrittendon

I am running that without the @ modification.

We tested the backup action at the recent Madrid meet-up, so unless I've forgotten something, I know it works ok.

You'll need to get Firebug or something similar set-up, so you can see exactly where the action is failing, as it's not clear what's going on at the moment.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike! …
I made the changes you suggest but nothing happens when I click in the new Backup action…

I Use the YUI Compressor to compress the backup-action.js and create <share>/components/documentlibrary/backup-action-min.js:

java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar <share>/components/documentlibrary/backup-action.js -o <share>/components/documentlibrary/backup-action-min.js‍

I Create the following space hierarchy, in the Repository, under Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Scripts Extensions

Hi,

Same problem, do you find a solution ?

Thanks

Well, after some investigations, it appears that there are errors in the wiki page for backup-action.js.

You have to use the compressed script: backup-action-min.js compressed with yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar, don't forget it, otherwise the toolbar is not present.

Here is the corrected code for backup-action.js (don't forget to compress and set @script):

/**
 * DocumentList "Backup" action
 * 
 * @namespace Alfresco
 * @class Alfresco.DocumentList
 */
(function()
{
   /**
    * Backup single document.
    *
    * @method onActionBackup
    * @param row {object} DataTable row representing file to be actioned
    */
    Alfresco.DocumentList.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(row)
    {
        var file = row;
        var displayName = file.displayName;
        var nodeRef = file.nodeRef;

        this.modules.actions.genericAction(
        {
            success:
            {
                message: this.msg("message.backup.success", displayName) // previously _msg
            },
            failure:
            {
                message: this.msg("message.backup.failure", displayName)
            },
            webscript:
            {
                name: "backup/site/{site}/{container}",
                method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST
            },
            params:
            {
                site: this.options.siteId,
                container: this.options.containerId
            },
            wait:
            {
                message: this.msg("message.please-wait")
            },
            config:
            {
                requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON,
                dataObj:
                {
                    nodeRefs: [nodeRef]
                }
            }
        });
    };
})();

Hi again! …
Got it!!

… For my version of Alfresco, Community - v3.2.0 (2039), it's necessary this line:

var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();
‍‍‍

instead of just:

var file = row;
‍‍‍

Thanks for the support…

I am glad for you

I am using Alfresco 3.2r

You are using the original line of the wiki, which is not running for me with 3.2r, interesting.

var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();
‍‍‍

Do you have an idea to use a simple workflow instead of backup ?
