It is not possible to execute scripts from within templates. It is something we might look at in the future.

Thanks,

Kevin

You could try this:

What i am currently doing to resolve this is to fire up the script from a popup window:

function update() {
window.open('/alfresco/command/script/execute/workspace/SpacesStore/0543b4be-0776-11db-80d6-ad41b73bdc30/workspace/SpacesStore/${document.id}?LFL='+LFL+'&LFI='+LFI);
}‍‍‍

I make this window as small as possible and appear offscreen so it is invisible.

Then when the script has finished, the html it returns is a blank page with an onload="window.close();

as far as the end user is aware, the script is executed from the template.

When i'm finished, i'll adjust it to use ajax so that i don't have to use the popup window hack.

That's quite nifty - but there is an issue that the script will be executed in a separate transaction to the template. So any changes you make to nodes that you have already accessed in the template model may not be reflected as you think - so be careful using this trick
