Problems launching script

rcortesr

Hi,

I would like to test the javascript backup.js.
I have created a button for lauch this script.
My web-client-config-custom.xml is the following:

<config> 
<actions> 
<!– Launch Test Javascript Dialog –> 
<action id="test_js"> 
<label>Test Javascript</label> 
<image>/images/icons/add.gif</image> 
<script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/backup.js</script>
</action> 

<!– Add action to more actions menu for each space –> 
<action-group id="document_browse"> 
<action idref="test_js" /> 
</action-group> 
</actions> 
</config> ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When I execute the script appears to me the following error:

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Error during command servlet processing: Unable to resolve item Path: /Company Home/Data Dictionary/backup.js

What is the problem??
I think that the path is correct.

Another question: Is it possible to create an action only for a single user?

Thanks.

It is not correct:
<script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/backup.js</script>

Although there is nothing stopping you moving/copying the script to another location if you prefer.

Another question: Is it possible to create an action only for a single user?

Yes, you can use an evaluator (see the <evaluator> tags for an action) and compare the current username with the user target for the action, which is available using the code:

org.alfresco.web.app.Application.getCurrentUser()

Hi,

where I can to find documentation about tags.
Are there links?

Thanks.

I have created a javascript to check in all files in a space, and have attched it to the more actions menu:

 <config>
     <actions>
      <action id="custom-action-check-in-all">
         <permissions>
           <!– each permission can be an Allow or Deny check –>
           <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
         </permissions>
    <label>Check All In</label>
    <tooltip>Check in all documents in this space</tooltip>
    <show-link>true</show-link>
    <style>padding:4px</style>
         <style-class>inlineAction</style-class>
         <image>/images/icons/CheckIn_icon.gif</image>
    <script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/framemaker_ci.js</script>
         <params>
            <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
         </params>
       </action>
      <action-group id="browse_actions_menu">
         <action idref="custom-action-check-out-all" />
    <action idref="custom-action-check-in-all" />
       </action-group>

     </actions>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and my script:

//
// Alfresco script to handle Framemaker documents.
//
var space = search.findNode( "workspace://SpacesStore/" + args["id"] );
for (var i=0; i<space.children.length; i++ ) {
    var child = space.children[i];
    if ( child.isDocument ) {
   child.checkin( "changes…" );
    }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So far so good. The script when fired does what it is supposed to do, however, it seems something is expected to be returned by the script, because as written, I get directed to a seemingly nonsense html page, with contents similar to:

org.mozilla.javascript.Undefined@198096‍

The alfresco.log seems happy:

19:05:57,778 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.RhinoScriptService] Executing script: workspace://SpacesStore/162cc14f-ed50-11db-997f-9be431dba158

This is a limitation of the script action at present, see here for a solution: http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=5621

Actually, thanks to the hint pointed to in the previous post, I found the ticket for returning to the GUI in a more reasonable fashion. In a nut shell, the script must return a string in the form of html. For example, this script, launched as an action from the GUI, will show 'Hello World' on a page all by itself:

var html;
function main() {
html = "<html>Hello World</html>";
}
main();
html;

Now, that is arguably not very interesting. The previous post demonstrated one way to get back into the gui:

html = "<script>history.back();</script>";

and this -is- an improvement, but not necessarily what is called for. More interesting perhaps is being able to return the user back to some space … their home space maybe, or the parent space of a child being worked on in the script perhaps. The way to do this is to use ExternalAccessServlet url (documented http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability#ExternalAccessServlet).

For example, your script could look like:

var html;

function make_url( noderef ) {
var url = "/alfresco/navigate/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/" + noderef;
return( url );
}

function main () {
// (…)
var loc = make_url( pnode.parent.id );
    html = "<script>" +
      "window.location.href='" + loc + "';" +
           "</script>";
}
main();
html;

I've just started playing with this, but it appears to function well. There may be issues with the back button (ajax history issues) and/or bread crum bar … so don't hold me liablle!

Hi all,

I have a different problem launching a script…

I've define the following menu item:

<!– Adding a custom menu item for adding "Pending approval" aspect after being rejected –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<config>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<actions>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Launch Add Aspect Dialog –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<action id="return_to_PendingApproval">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<label>Return to "Pending Approval" state</label>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/applyPendingApprovalAspect.js</script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</action>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Add action to Actions Menu for Document Details screen–>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<action-group id="doc_details_actions">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<action idref="return_to_PendingApproval" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</action-group>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Add action to Actions Menu for a document in the Browse screen–>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<action-group id="document_browse_menu">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<action idref="return_to_PendingApproval" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</action-group>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</actions>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

which refers to the following script (stored in 'Scripts' space):

document.removeAspect(â€œdsm:docStatus_Rejectedâ€);
document.removeAspect(â€œdsm:docStatus_Approvedâ€);
document.addAspect(â€œdsm:docStatus_PendingApprovalâ€);
‍‍‍‍‍

The following aspects are defined in the model (and the model is registered without problems in the repository):

<namespaces>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<namespace uri="extension.document.status.model" prefix="dsm"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</namespaces>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– ASPECTS definitions –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<aspects>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Definition of new Document Status Aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<aspect name="dsm:docStatus_PendingApproval">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<title>DocumentStatus_PendingApproval</title>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Properties associated to this aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<properties>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</properties>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Definition of new Document Status Aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<aspect name="dsm:docStatus_Rejected">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<title>DocumentStatus_Rejected</title>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Properties associated to this aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<properties>
[…]
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</properties>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</aspect>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Definition of new Document Status Aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<aspect name="dsm:docStatus_Approved">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<title>DocumentStatus_Approved</title>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<!– Properties associated to this aspect –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<properties>
[…]
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</properties>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</aspect>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

All properties for these aspects have the 'protected' tag set to 'true'.

The problem is that when i click on the menu item nothing seems to happen… The aspect (rejected or approved) is still there, and there is no sign of the pending approval aspect.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?

ops:

Thanks in advance and regards,
Enrique

The 'document' context object is not available when launching a script action - see the (improved) docs on the script element here:

Hi Kevin,

First of all, thanks for your quick response 😃

I've made the following changes in my configuration based on the link you pointed me:

web-client-config-custom.xml

<!– Adding a custom menu item for adding "Pending approval" aspect after being rejected –>
   <config>
      <actions>

         <action id="return_to_PendingApproval">
            <label>Return to "Pending Approval" state</label>
            <script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/applyPendingApprovalAspect.js</script>
            <params>
               <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
            </params>
         </action>
      <!– Add action to Actions Menu for Document Details screen–>
         <action-group id="doc_details_actions">
            <action idref="return_to_PendingApproval" />
         </action-group>
      <!– Add action to Actions Menu for a document in the Browse screen–>
         <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
            <action idref="return_to_PendingApproval" />
         </action-group>
      </actions>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/applyPendingApprovalAspect.js

var doc_node = search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/"+args["id"]);
if (doc_node.isDocument){
   
   doc_node.removeAspect("dsm:docStatus_Rejected");
   doc_node.addAspect("dsm:docStatus_PendingApproval");
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it's still not working…

I can't see anything in Tomcat's console and Alfresco's log just say this:

19:24:15,890 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase] IOException al cargar sesiones persistidas: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.bean.repository.QNameNodeMap

   at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:339)
   at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.readObject(StandardSession.java:1386)
…

Apparently, it's like the script does nothing. Is there any way to debug the script?? Insert any trace saying "I've reached this or that point in the script"?

I've tested the following code as well, but it has no effect either.

/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/applyPendingApprovalAspect.js

var doc_node = search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/"+args["id"]);
doc_node.addAspect("cm:Templatable");
‍‍‍‍

Any help would be very much appreciated. 😃

Thanks again,
Enrique

Enrique,

Yes you can use the Logger to output log values to your console screen (you also need to enable the following class in your log4j.properties file in the alfresco\WEB-INF\classes folder:
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript=debug

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API#Logging_API

It might be worth output the args["id"] value to check that it is what you think.

Thanks,

Kevin

rafaelscg

doblek,

Try to use this to return document object:

var nodeRef = args["noderef"];
var node = search.findNode(nodeRef);

And add this parameter in your action file:

<param name="noderef">#{actionContext.nodeRef}</param>

I think this is what you want. Tell if this is what you want to do

nhutminh87

Another question: Is it possible to create an action only for a single user?

Yes, you can use an evaluator (see the <evaluator> tags for an action) and compare the current username with the user target for the action, which is available using the code:
org.alfresco.web.app.Application.getCurrentUser()
‍‍‍
Thanks,

Kevin

How can it use only for "admin"? some code? i'm new, pl help me.

Thank all.

kevinr

Yes you can test to see if the user is an admin user via the AuthenticationService bean:

authenticationService.isAdminAuthority( usernamehere );

So that can be easily added to an evaluator.
