How can I disable the 'User Status' feature?

filmchris — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 01:06:38 GMT

I am trying to find the file which controls the display of the User Status update box in the user profile drop-down box at the top-right of the page ("What are you doing?"). The closest I've found is:/{apache-tomcat}/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/head

You'll need to remove the JavaScript code in header.js which controls that part of the UI.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello!
I have removed the "User status" item, by removing appropriate item in share-config-custom.xml.
<!–<item type="user" id="status">{userprofilepage}</item>–>


<alfresco-config>
    <config replace="true">

        <header>
            <app-items>
               ….
               ….
               ….
            </app-items>
            <user-items>
                <item type="container" id="user" icon="" description="">
                    <container-group id="usermenu" label="">
                        <!–<item type="user" id="status">{userprofilepage}</item>–>
                        <item type="link" id="my-profile">{userprofilepage}</item>
                        <item type="link" id="change-password" condition="user.capabilities.isMutable">/user/change-password</item>
                        <item type="external-link" id="help">{share-help}</item>
                        <item type="link" id="logout" condition="!context.externalAuthentication">/dologout</item>
                    </container-group>
                </item>
            </user-items>
            <dependencies>
                <css src="/modules/create-site.css" />
                <css src="/modules/header/sites.css" />
                <js src="/modules/create-site.js" />
                <js src="/modules/header/sites.js" />
                <js src="/scripts/jsButton.js" />
            </dependencies>
        </header>
    </config>

</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

As the result a have an exception in header.js function configureMyStatus: function Header_configureMyStatus()

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null header.js:350
Header_configureMyStatus header.js:350
Header_onReady header.js:136
Base_onReadyWrapper alfresco.js:7510
executeItem event-debug.js:1698
_tryPreloadAttach event-debug.js:1727
f yuiloader-debug.js:1113

in line

this._currentStatus = this.widgets.statusBox.value; ‍

i think is is a bug, because i used standard extension mechanism to switch off existing functionality, but someone forget to chech for null.
in my opinion code should be

this.widgets.statusBox = Dom.get(this.id + "-statusText");
if (this.widgetn.statusBox == null){
 return;
}
‍‍‍‍‍

So, How can I disable the "User Status" feature, without editing header.js file?
What i'm doing wrong?

This issue is easy to solve on a 4.2.f, here is how I did.

Context: Alfresco 4.2.f, project Maven from the org.alfresco.maven.archetype:alfresco-amp-archetype:1.1.1 archetype, I put everything in the embedded JAR when possible.

Create a module extension for share (see this blog <a>http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2013/09/04/customizing-the-share-header-menu-part-1/</a> for more details). Here is my extension file:

src/main/resources/alfresco/site-data/extensions/my-custom-extension.xml


<extension>
  <modules>
    <module>
      <id>Main module of my custom extension</id>
      <version>${project.version}</version>
      <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
      <customizations>
        <customization>
          <!– Order matters here! target before source, always! –>
          <targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco</targetPackageRoot>
          <sourcePackageRoot>my-custom.main</sourcePackageRoot>
        </customization>
      </customizations>
    </module>
  </modules>
</extension>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In the share header of your module package, create this Javascript. It will be called after its equivalent (see header comment below).

src/main/resources/alfresco/site-webscripts/my-custom/main/share/header/share-header.get.js

<javascript>
/** Customization of the header menu
*
* CALLED AFTER: webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/header/share-header.get.js
*
* The header menu is built after a Javascript model object. The model object
* itself is built in the original share-header.get.js
*
* In order to customize the header menu, this script modifies the model object.
*/

/* Example:
// Change home item link
var homeItem = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "HEADER_HOME");
if (homeItem != null) {
 homeItem.config.targetUrl = "my-new-home";
}
*/

// Issue https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19930:
// The method deleteObjectFromArray provided by Alfresco does not work
// widgetUtils.deleteObjectFromArray(model.jsonModel, "id", "HEADER_XXX");
// The workaround consists in defining a function removeItemsFromHeaderMenu…
/**
* Run through a widgets model object containing the definition of the Share
* header menu and remove every item which id is in the itemIdArray list.
* @param obj widgets model object containing the definition of
* the Share header menu
* @param itemIdArray List of ids of items to be removed from obj
* @param wrappingArray For internal use
* @param objIndex For internal use
*/
function removeItemsFromHeaderMenu(obj, itemIdArray, wrappingArray, objIndex) {
 // Parameter checks
 if (obj === undefined || obj === null) return false;
 if (wrappingArray === undefined) wrappingArray = null;
 if (objIndex === undefined) objIndex = null;

 if (Object.prototype.toString.apply(obj) === "[object Object]") {
 // Check if the Object is of the items to remove:
 // - It must have an id which is in the itemIdArray list
 // - It must be inside an array (for structural reasons)
 // wrappingArray = the array
 // objIndex = the index of obj in wrappingArray
 var idInList = false;
 if (obj.hasOwnProperty("id")) {
 for (var i = 0; i < itemIdArray.length; i++) {
 if (itemIdArray === obj.id) {
 idInList = true;
 break;
 }
 }
 }
 if (idInList) {
 if (wrappingArray !== null && objIndex !== null) {
 // Remove obj (=wrappingArray[objIndex]) from the widgets model
 wrappingArray.splice(objIndex, 1);
 } else {
 logger.debug("Unexpected match outside of array structure: "
 + jsonUtils.toJSONString(obj));
 }
 } else {
 for (var key in obj) {
 if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
 // Recursive call, down a level in the widgets model
 removeItemsFromHeaderMenu(obj[key], itemIdArray);
 }
 }
 }
 } else if (Object.prototype.toString.apply(obj) === "[object Array]") {
 // Backward iteration because we are slicing the obj array
 // Explanations: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9882284/looping-through-array-and-removing-items-without-breaking-for-loop
 var i = obj.length;
 while (i–) {
 // Recursive call, down a level in the widgets model
 // obj <- obj
 // wrappingArray <- obj
 // objIndex <- i
 // Therfore, obj == wrappingArray
 removeItemsFromHeaderMenu(obj, itemIdArray, obj, i);
 }
 }
}

/* Example: disable a lot of stuff
var itemsToRemove = [ "HEADER_TASKS", "HEADER_MY_FILES",
 "HEADER_SHARED_FILES", "HEADER_SITES_MENU", "HEADER_PEOPLE",
 "HEADER_USER_MENU_SET_STATUS", "HEADER_USER_MENU_PROFILE",
 "HEADER_USER_MENU_HELP", "HEADER_LEAVE_SITE", "HEADER_USER_STATUS" ];

// Display repository item only when the user is admin
if (!user.isAdmin) {
 itemsToRemove.push("HEADER_REPOSITORY");
 itemsToRemove.push("HEADER_SITE_CONFIGURATION_DROPDOWN");
}
*/

// Disable "User Status" feature
var itemsToRemove = [ "HEADER_USER_STATUS" ];

removeItemsFromHeaderMenu(model.jsonModel.widgets, itemsToRemove);
</javascript>

Note: I commented this Javascript for my own understanding, you still can remove the extra comments you don't use.

Hi,

copy share-header.lib.js in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/imports folder and comment the code in getUserMenuWidgets() method as below:

<javascript>

/* *********************************************************************************
* *
* USER MENU WIDGETS *
* *
***********************************************************************************/

function getUserMenuWidgets()
{
 var userMenuWidgets = [

 // Disable getUserStatusWidget() method and "HEADER_USER_MENU_SET_STATUS" Widget
 /*
 getUserStatusWidget(),

 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_SET_STATUS",
 name: "alfresco/header/AlfMenuItem",
 config:
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_SET_STATUS",
 label: "set_status.label",
 iconClass: "alf-user-status-icon",
 publishTopic: "ALF_SET_USER_STATUS"
 }
 },
 */
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_PROFILE",
 name: "alfresco/header/AlfMenuItem",
 config:
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_PROFILE",
 label: "my_profile.label",
 iconClass: "alf-user-profile-icon",
 targetUrl: "user/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/profile"
 }
 }
 ];
 if (user.capabilities.isMutable)
 {
 userMenuWidgets.push({
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_PASSWORD",
 name: "alfresco/header/AlfMenuItem",
 config:
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_CHANGE_PASSWORD",
 label: "change_password.label",
 iconClass: "alf-user-password-icon",
 targetUrl: "user/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "/change-password"
 }
 });
 }
 userMenuWidgets.push({
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_HELP",
 name: "alfresco/header/AlfMenuItem",
 config:
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_HELP",
 label: "help.label",
 iconClass: "alf-user-help-icon",
 targetUrl: getHelpLink(),
 targetUrlType: "FULL_PATH",
 targetUrlLocation: "NEW"
 }
 });
 if (!context.externalAuthentication)
 {
 userMenuWidgets.push({
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_LOGOUT",
 name: "alfresco/header/AlfMenuItem",
 config:
 {
 id: "HEADER_USER_MENU_LOGOUT",
 label: "logout.label",
 iconClass: "alf-user-logout-icon",
 targetUrl: "dologout"
 }
 });
 }
 return userMenuWidgets;
}

</javascript>

Now, to import this share-header.lib.js file in share-header.get.js file, copy share-header.get.js file in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/header folder and import alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/imports/share-header.lib.js file as shown below:

<javascript>

<import resource="classpath:alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/imports/share-header.lib.js">

model.jsonModel = {
 rootNodeId: "share-header",
 services: getHeaderServices(),
 widgets: [
 {
 id: "SHARE_VERTICAL_LAYOUT",
 name: "alfresco/layout/VerticalWidgets",
 config:
 {
 widgets: getHeaderModel()
 }
 }
 ]
};

</javascript>

Refresh the Share Web Script from http://host-nameort-number/share/service/index or Restart the server.

Hope this helps.
