How to define custom action in alfresco share

forrest43

As per the instruction in book Developing Custom Actions 2 edition(http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-actions/actions-article-2ed.pdf) , I create an action, and deploy this action in the Share. Then I need a pop up window for the end user to fill some information before the active start(which do not be describe in details in the book), how to achieve ?
do you have any tutorials to show me the step by step instruction?

the form only have title bar with no form body where the fields should be located. The log said "a form could not be found for item : [action]action-asign-form". Did I miss something ?
Thank you

If your action is signAction (define in model-context.xml or custom-model-context.xml) you have to write this:
Remove the line <param name="action">signAction</param>
Modifie <param name="itemId">action-asign-form</param> by <param name="itemId">signAction</param>
Change the condition of the form by signAction

    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="signAction">
         <forms>
              <form>
                 <field-visibility>
                     <show id="comment"/>
                 </field-visibility>
                 <appearance>
                     <field id="comment" label-id="erry.comment">
                         <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl" />
                     </field>
                 </appearance>
            </form>
        </forms>
    </config>

 <!– Actions –>
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
        <actions>
            <action id="erry-sign" type="javascript" label="actions.erry-sign" icon="erry-sign">
                <param name="function">onActionFormDialog</param>
                <param name="itemKind">action</param>
           <param name="itemId">signAction</param>
                <permissions>
                    <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
                </permissions>
                <param name="successMessage">message.sign.disabled</param>
                <param name="failureMessage">message.sign.failure</param>
                <evaluator>erry.evaluator.doclib.action.signHistory</evaluator>
            </action>
        </actions>
        <actionGroups>
            <actionGroup id="document-browse">
                <action index="500" id="erry-sign" />

I hope it helps,

krups

you must have bean defined for your action in your *-context.xml file as below

<bean id="action-asign-form" class="path of the class file in which you have implemented your action executer" parent="action-executer">
        
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="NodeService" />
        </property>
      
    </bean>

Hope this works.
