Alfresco 4.0c Modules Evaluators

m_scapoli — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:05:29 GMT

Hello, it's not so clear on how we can use Evaluators in Extensibility Module Deployment; can we use the "out of the box" evaluators also in module configuration file in the subcomponent evauation? Like:<module> <id>Blog Module (Conditionally Hide Title)</id> <components&g

Hello,

you can use doclib evaluators only for Share Document List or Document Details functionality. They are to be considered separate from the Surf Extensibility Module evaluators as they have a very different interface. You can reuse the existing evaluators, but only those that are actually meant for the Surf Extensibility feature, i.e. those with names like "site.component.evaluator" or "site.module.evaluator". Have a look inside the slingshot-application-context.xml for some out-of-the-box evaluators.

Ok now, you think it's possible to create an Evaluator that load a subcomponent checking on the mimetype of the document opened in the Document Library?

I have roughly understand the basics on the module and subcomponent evaluators but in the examples they shows only RequestContext context "tricks", and I can't imagine where i can grab the mimetype reference for doing the check

Thanks again

Hello,

For the document details page, this would be possible: extract the nodeRef URL parameter and check the node metadata through a data web script call.

With little modifications of that example I was able to code a Mimetype based sub-component Evaluator, I hope this will be helpful.
