In /etc/lib/tomcat6/webapps/share/components/documentlibrary/toolbar.js you need to add javascript to do something when the button is clicked.

See other example buttons to get an idea of what you need to do. There are examples in the JavaScript files of calling back to Alfresco webscripts. Have a look at the code.

In an attempt to get the button to do anything, I copied the code to create a new folder in the toolbar.js file. Here are the parts of the code that I changed:

      /**
       * Fired by YUI when parent element is available for scripting.
       * Component initialisation, including instantiation of YUI widgets and event listener binding.
       *
       * @method onReady
       */
      onReady: function DLTB_onReady()
      {
         // New Folder button: user needs "create" access
         this.widgets.newFolder = Alfresco.util.createYUIButton(this, "newFolder-button", this.onNewFolder,
         {
            disabled: true,
            value: "create"
         });

       // ADDED by DAD 2010_05_07
       // genMaps button: user needs "create" access
         this.widgets.genMaps = Alfresco.util.createYUIButton(this, "genMaps-button", this.onGenMaps,
         {
            disabled: true,
            value: "create"
         });

       //END OF ADD

         // File Upload button: user needs "create" access
         this.widgets.fileUpload = Alfresco.util.createYUIButton(this, "fileUpload-button", this.onFileUpload,
         {
            disabled: true,
            value: "create"
         });

and:
       /**
       * Generate Maps button click handler
       *
       * @method onGenMaps
       * @param e {object} DomEvent
       * @param p_obj {object} Object passed back from addListener method
       */
      onGenMaps: function DLTB_onGenMaps(e, p_obj)
           {
         var actionUrl = Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + $combine("slingshot/doclib/action/folder/site", this.options.siteId, this.options.containerId, Alfresco.util.encodeURIPath(this.currentPath));

         var doSetupFormsValidation = function DLTB_oNF_doSetupFormsValidation(p_form)
         {
            // Validation
            p_form.addValidation(this.id + "-createFolder-name", Alfresco.forms.validation.mandatory, null, "blur");
            p_form.addValidation(this.id + "-createFolder-name", Alfresco.forms.validation.nodeName, null, "keyup");
            p_form.addValidation(this.id + "-createFolder-name", Alfresco.forms.validation.length,
            {
               max: 256,
               crop: true
            }, "keyup");
            p_form.addValidation(this.id + "-createFolder-title", Alfresco.forms.validation.length,
            {
               max: 256,
               crop: true
            }, "keyup");
            p_form.addValidation(this.id + "-createFolder-description", Alfresco.forms.validation.length,
            {
               max: 512,
               crop: true
            }, "keyup");
            p_form.setShowSubmitStateDynamically(true, false);
         };

         if (!this.modules.createFolder)
         {
            this.modules.createFolder = new Alfresco.module.SimpleDialog(this.id + "-createFolder").setOptions(
            {
               width: "30em",
               templateUrl: Alfresco.constants.URL_SERVICECONTEXT + "modules/documentlibrary/create-folder",
               actionUrl: actionUrl,
               doSetupFormsValidation:

                  fn: doSetupFormsValidation,

                        text: this.msg("message.new-folder.success", folder.name)
                     });
                  },
                  scope: this
               }
            });
         }
         else
         {
            this.modules.createFolder.setOptions(
            {
               actionUrl: actionUrl,
               clearForm: true
            });
         }
         this.modules.createFolder.show();
      },

      /**
       * File Upload button click handler

The button is generated on the page, and the images are loaded….I must be missing something either in above code or in another file.

Thanks in advance for any help.
