Adding custom ui action to action-group

buzman — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 14:23:08 GMT

Hi, I'm in the process of adding a custom ui action (*not* a folder action) to an existing action-group, and I need it to appear at a certain location (index) in the action group.The existing action-group definition is the one for 'browse_actions_menu' :<action-group id="browse_actions_menu">

Correct, you'll have to redefine the whole action-group to place your action where you want it.

Thanks Gavin.

One more question : if I need to change the evaluator class for one of the 'core' actions, do I need to duplicate the action definition in my custom config file as well, rather than just providing the 'override' evaluator classpath?

For instance, in my custom config file could I do this :

<action id="create_content">
  <evaluator>com.my.evaluator.class</evaluator>
</action>‍‍‍

or would I need to do this :

<action id="create_content">
  <permissions>
    <permission allow="true">CreateChildren</permission>
  </permissions>
  <evaluator>com.my.evaluator.class</evaluator>
  <label-id>create_content</label-id>
  <image>/images/icons/new_content.gif</image>
  <action>wizard:createContent</action>
</action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks
