You need to follow the code a bit further, into onTemplateLoaded() then _showDialog()

         // Set-up the form action
         var actionUrl = YAHOO.lang.substitute(Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + "api/metadata/node/{nodeRef}",
         {
            nodeRef: file.nodeRef.replace(":/", "")
         });
         formElement.attributes.action.nodeValue = actionUrl;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Most Share form submissions are converted to JSON and POSTed programatically rather than using the native browser's form support. This is so we can (a) support JSON (b) perform AJAX submits and © support PUT and DELETE as well as POST.

The Alfresco.constants are all defined in the alfresco-template.ftl.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi MikeH,

I'm newbie Alfresco developer. Currently, I'm developing a ticketing system based on Alfresco repository capabilities and Alfresco Share style of presentation.

My problem is: how to start to develop my own dashlets using YUI (the main JS framework used in Share environment)? Can you give me, kindly, some guidelines?

Thanks in advance,

Paolo

Paolo,

If you don't know where to start, I found this blog post the most useful thing to understanding how a dashlet works:
http://niketa-alfresco3.blogspot.com/2009/11/alfresco-share-helloworld-dashlet.html

Then you can also see his other post:
http://niketa-alfresco3.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-access-alfresco-repository-in.html

From then on, you need to play a lot, read a lot of wiki and forum, ask questions and since you mention YUI, read a lot of YUI pages.

To get more familiar with YUI, I suggest checking their examples and trying on your own. Like, create the similar dashlet like the one in the first example above. Then try adding it a YUI button. Then a YUI datatable. Maybe an AJAX call. etc.
