Modify 'Favorite Sites' dropdown to show ALL sites

filmchris — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 02:28:26 GMT

I've been trying to get this working for at least the last 6 hours and keep hitting a wall.I would like the Favorite "Sites" dropdown in the header to display all sites to which the logged in user has access. I only have two sites, with one group of users having access to both sites, and the other g

Posting what you've already got would help people spot where you can fix any problems…

Thanks,

That's just it – I don't feel like I'm really any closer to getting this resolved than when I started. I was hoping it would be as easy as replacing the result value:

sites.get.js


   // Call the repo for the user's favourite sites
   // TODO: Clean-up old favourites here?
   var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/preferences?pf=" + PREF_FAVOURITE_SI
TES);
   if (result.status == 200 && result != "{}")
   {
      prefs = eval('(' + result + ')');
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

with

my-sites.get.js


   // Call the repo for sites the user is a member of
   var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(user.name) + "/sites");
   if (result.status == 200)
   {
      var site, favourites = {}, imapFavourites = {}, managers,
         i, ii, j, jj;

      // Create javascript objects from the server response
      sites = eval('(' + result + ')');
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But alas, it didn't work. I am continuing to work at this, so will post additional snippets if/when I get closer.

Thanks for the response.

Finally, sweet success! Here's what I did, in case anyone else stumbles across this looking for a similar solution.

Original file: {apache-tomcat}/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/modules/header/sites.get.js

Extended to: {apache-tomcat}/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/modules/header/sites.get.js

Replace this:


const PREF_FAVOURITE_SITES = "org.alfresco.share.sites.favourites";
‍‍‍

With this:


const PREF_FAVOURITE_SITES = "org.alfresco.share.sites";
‍‍‍

Replace this:


var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/preferences?pf=" + PREF_FAVOURITE_SITES);
if (result.status == 200 && result != "{}")
‍‍‍‍

With this:


var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/sites");
if (result.status == 200)
‍‍‍‍

Finally, replace this:


model.favouriteSites = favouriteSites;
‍‍‍

With this:


model.favouriteSites = prefs;
‍‍‍

I also made some minor changes to sites.get.html.ftl to remove the "Add site to favorites" link, but that's pretty self-explanatory.

Hopefully this saves someone else a similar headache!

Hi, i cannot find this:
<javascript>
var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/preferences?pf=" + PREF_FAVOURITE_SITES);

if (result.status == 200 && result != "{}")
</javascript>
May be code is changed now?
