Hi Croc,

I didn't understand if your new javascript method was called at all, have you tried putting in an alert(), breakpoint in FireBug or debug statement?
If it doesn't get called, please supply your changes in documentlist.get.config.xml and also make sure you have followed the instructions on this wiki page for creating custom doclib actions:

Cheers and good luck,

Many of the DocLib client-side JavaScript files are concatenated at build time. I'd really recommend you (and anyone, actually) make your modifications to a checked-out copy of the source from SVN and then use our own build scripts to deploy rather than trying to modify them by hand.

Use "ant incremental-slingshot-tomcat" for Share.

Thanks,
Mike
