why is me.isAdmin not working?

jriker1 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:20:32 GMT

I am trying to update Alfresco/root/projects/slingshot/source/web/components/site-members/site-members.js as belowif (me.isAdmin)// if (me.options.currentUserRole !== undefined &&// me.options.currentUserRole === "SiteManager") { this.isCurrentUserSite

That's client-side JavaScript, so unless you've passed the value in it doesn't have access to any "isAdmin" property. the usual "Share" way of doing this is to add it to the setOptions call in the Freemarker template and pick it up in the JavaScript from there ("me.options.isAdmin").

The reason the code isn't failing is because it's just being returned as "undefined" and so the if statement fails.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the reply Mike. Don't see a lot on the setOptions value for FreeMarker in any documentation however here is my thought. Let me know if it's right before I recompile and push to the dev server for testing.

1. Edit Alfresco/root/projects/slingshot/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/site-members/site-members.get.html.ftl and add to the top:

<#assign areAdmin = (user.name=='admin') />‍

2. In same file add

isAdmin: areAdmin,‍

or maybe

isAdmin: ${areAdmin},‍

after


<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
   new Alfresco.SiteMembers("${args.htmlid}").setOptions(
   {
      siteId: "${page.url.templateArgs.site!""}",
      currentUser: "${user.id}",
      currentUserRole: "${currentUserRole}",
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then reference it from the site-members.js as you say.

Let me know if I got this right or am off base.

Thanks

Why not just

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
   new Alfresco.SiteMembers("${args.htmlid}").setOptions(
   {
      siteId: "${page.url.templateArgs.site!""}",
      currentUser: "${user.id}",
      currentUserRole: "${currentUserRole}",
      isAdmin: ${user.isAdmin?string}
      …‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Mike, that was the ticket. Only had to add a comma to the end of your line. The reason I didn't do it that way is I can't find any good documentation to explain what I was supposed to use in this case to pull the information I needed. Any ideas where I should be looking?

Thanks.
