Using Authority.ftl

malikaasen

I am trying to use authority.ftl to select a group that is going to be used in an action for editing group roles. How do i write the java action so that there are no erros? Tried this

protected void addParameterDefinitions(List<ParameterDefinition> list) {
    list.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl(X, DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, true,getParamDisplayLabel(X)));

}

But i got the error that the types were different, think it was field.endpointtype. What is this, and how do i get it in the addParameterDefinitions, what type does the authority.ftl return, a string? I assume that you can use AuthorityService afterwards to get the group name or something similar.

Thanks in advance for the help.

DataTypeDefinition (Alfresco 5.1.4.1 Public Java API)

Try NODE_REF

This is exactly the way I use it.

How do i extract the groupname from node_ref?

This is what i used when i used textfield instead of authority.

Just changed the Strings to NodeRef as stupid me didnt notice that could be done, but what class is used to get the name of the authority?

angelborroy

There are other ways, this is one of them:

NodeRef groupNodeRef = (NodeRef) action.getParameterValue(PARAM_GROUP_NAME);
String groupName = nodeService.getProperty(groupNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME).toString();‍‍

I tried that, but i still get the error, maybe there is something wrong with how i added the form?

douglascrp

You can do something like:

final NodeRef group = (NodeRef) action.getParameterValue(PARAM_GROUP_NAME); // your parameter should be simply PARAM_GROUP, as there is no real name in it
Map<QName, Serializable> groupProperties = nodeService.getProperties(group);‍‍‍‍‍

And then you can read the property you want from the groupProperties object.

I have not tested the code, but I guess you will be able to fix it if required.

My bad... I left the tab open when I went to have lunch, and then sent the answer without checking if someone had answered

Weirdly enough, i still get the error, this is how it looks like after i have picked a group

and this is the failure i get, there are no errors in the .log files

I made a class for the action, added the bean, and wrote the above in the add-doclib-action xml file, is there something that i may perhaps have forgotten?

Here is the config for the button that creates the form
