how to modify datalists

Hi,

please help me identify the correct files for changing datalists behaviour for hiding certain lists for certain users (maybe similar to http://code.google.com/p/qbreng-alfresco-extensions/wiki/WorkflowGrants?)
- where datalists are populated and displayed in Share


Thank you,
Catalin

I have added the following modifications to datalists.get.js (in tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\data-lists).

The file executed because I see the logs but the dataLists still remain the same ones in the browser - it seems that, somewhere between this file and the browser, there is another retrieval of dataLists but I do not know where… plese help me with this.

IN share-config-custom.xml
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DataLists">
      <!–
           A list of workflow definitions that are displayed in Share start-workflow page based on grant options
           - grant-type: "user" or "group"
           - grant-name: group name or user name (based on grant-type) allowed
         –>
      <grant-datalists>
         <datalist name="ruc:RegistruUnicCorespondenta" grant-type="user" grant-name="ureg" />
         <datalist name="dl:RegistruUnicCorespondenta" grant-type="user" grant-name="ureg" />
      </grant-datalists>
   </config>

**** and in ** datalists.get.js
function oc(a) 
{
   var o = {};
