Hi everyone,

I'm trying to extend the default search in Alfresco Share for the "cm:content" type.

What I need is, for example, when I select the "Test folder" folder, it returns me all the files inside the "Test folder".

I was wondering how could I implemente this.

Here is the code of my custom search:

         <!– Search form –>
         <form id="search">
       
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="cm:name" />
               <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
               <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
               <show id="mimetype" />
               <show id="cm:modified" />
               <show id="cm:modifier" />                            
          
               <!– new search parameters –>
               <show id="cm:created" />
          <show id="cm:creator" />
          <show id="cm:categories" force="true" />

          <!– Should insert here the parameters for the location search –>   
            
            </field-visibility>

            <appearance>
               <field id="mimetype">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/mimetype.ftl" />
               </field>
               <field id="cm:modifier">
                  <control>
                     <control-param name="forceEditable">true</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
               <field id="cm:modified">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/daterange.ftl" />
               </field>         
          <field id="cm:created">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/daterange.ftl" />
               </field>
          <field id="cm:creator">
                  <control>
                     <control-param name="forceEditable">true</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
            
          <field id="cm:categories">
        <control>
           <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
           <control-param name="showSubCategoriesOption">true</control-param> 
        </control>
          </field>
            </appearance>
         </form>

Please, could you tell me which parameter should I insert in order to search by file location?

Hope this is clear

Thanks in advance


PS: I already define a ftl template that allows me to select a folder. Here is the code of this if you want:

<#include "common/picker.inc.ftl" />

<#assign controlId = fieldHtmlId + "-cntrl">

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
(function()
{
   <@renderPickerJS field "picker" />
   picker.setOptions(
   {
   <#if field.control.params.showTargetLink??>
      showLinkToTarget: ${field.control.params.showTargetLink},
      <#if page?? && page.url.templateArgs.site??>
         targetLinkTemplate: "${url.context}/page/site/${page.url.templateArgs.site!""}/document-details?nodeRef={nodeRef}",
      <#else>
         targetLinkTemplate: "${url.context}/page/document-details?nodeRef={nodeRef}",
      </#if>
   </#if>
   <#if field.control.params.allowNavigationToContentChildren??>
      allowNavigationToContentChildren: ${field.control.params.allowNavigationToContentChildren},
   </#if>
      itemType: "cm:folder",
      multipleSelectMode: true,
      parentNodeRef: "alfresco://company/home",
   <#if field.control.params.rootNode??>
      rootNode: "${field.control.params.rootNode}",
   </#if>
      itemFamily: "node",
      displayMode: "${field.control.params.displayMode!"items"}"
   });
})();
//]]></script>

<div class="form-field">
   <#if form.mode == "view">
      <div id="${controlId}" class="viewmode-field">
         <#if (field.endpointMandatory!false || field.mandatory!false) && field.value == "">
            <span class="incomplete-warning"><img src="${url.context}/res/components/form/images/warning-16.png" title="${msg("form.field.incomplete")}" /><span>
         </#if>
         <span class="viewmode-label">${field.label?html}:</span>
         <span id="${controlId}-currentValueDisplay" class="viewmode-value current-values"></span>
      </div>
   <#else>
      <label for="${controlId}">${field.label?html}:<#if field.endpointMandatory!false || field.mandatory!false><span class="mandatory-indicator">${msg("form.required.fields.marker")}</span></#if></label>
      
      <div id="${controlId}" class="object-finder">
         
         <div id="${controlId}-currentValueDisplay" class="current-values"></div>
         
         <#if field.disabled == false>
            <input type="hidden" id="${fieldHtmlId}" name="-" value="${field.value?html}" />
            <input type="hidden" id="${controlId}-added" name="${field.name}_added" />
            <input type="hidden" id="${controlId}-removed" name="${field.name}_removed" />
            <div id="${controlId}-itemGroupActions" class="show-picker"></div>
         
            <@renderPickerHTML controlId />
         </#if>
      </div>
   </#if>
</div>

Hello,

unless your seriously modify the Repository backend web script for the search, you can not specify a parameter to restrict searches to specific locations / contexts other than the Repository/Sites/Site X option that Alfresco offers you out of the box.
You would need to modify the search.lib.js file and evaluate your "parameter-to-be" to add a PATH clause to the FTS query.
