Alternative to the object Alert in Javascript

ktavasalo

Hello everyone. I just want to know if there are alternatives in creating dialog boxes(e.g. alert boxes) in Javascript. Unfortunately, I learned over the net that Alert object is not included here. So, do you know any?

My practicum supervisor asked me to have a dialog box whenever a file in a user space has the same filename with other file. So, it will ask if it overwrite the existing file or rename it. So, what do I do? Please help me. Thank you very very much!!

Hello,

Alfresco provides a utility popup manager on Share client side JS that can be used to simple short message or require active confirmation of an error message. See <a href="http://sharextras.org/jsdoc/share/community-4.0.d/symbols/Alfresco.util.PopupManager.html">the JSDoc</a> for details.

Regards
Axel

Alfresco.util.PopupManager is actually a client-side code for Alfresco Share collaboration frontend.
Do you use Share?

ktavasalo

Yes, I use Share.. So, how to do it? Please help me. Thank you very much. I am thinking to write a script including this popupmanager in Explorer that will trigger when files in Share repository have the same filename..

Well, for share dashlets and other components, there is client-side and server-side javascript. Ie. anything under

share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts‍

are server side components. You can't use "alert" there. You can only use logger.log("some message") there - just make sure your logging levels are set.

Now, alert-type popups are done in client-side javascript. Basically, anything you find in

/share/components/*‍

will be executed on the browser.

You can add something like this in one of the files. Look for the "onReady" method in your dashlet and add:

Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage({ title: "Some text", text: "This is your message"});‍

You could even include your own javascript and have use of this, just make sure that /share/js/alfresco.js (or share/js/share.js, not sure) are loaded. Check one of those files to see more options - you can use this to display prompts, errors, whatever.
