adding to favorites (Solved)

michaelc — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:29:36 GMT

So one of the user requests I have is that a site when initially added should also be added to the users favorites. the first 1/2 adding into site-finder.js worked like a champ. I next added the same logic to accept-invite.get.js and here it did not work. any thoughts on why this seems to not work

any thoughts on why this seems to not work as expected.

That's pretty vague - what exactly was the error and/or problem?

Can you provide more details on this? Either your error trace

I was out a few days sorry for the slow return.

there was no error in the log, the user was added to the site but the site was not added to the users favorites.
no error and no action.

I thought it's possible it did not work because I used "alfresco-noauth" so I tried to change the connection
connector = remote.connect('alfresco");
user = "specialUser";
passWord = "secret1";
result = connector.post(theUrl,dataPass,UserId,passWord,"application/json");

this failed with Can't find method org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.ScriptRemoteConnector.post(string,object,string,string,string).
this I understand.

this seems simple but I am not getting there.

I fixed by backdooring it a bit.

I modified the email to call my service that added the sites to favorites as I can do this from a restful service.
this then forwarded the the request.

now when a user is added to a site the site is a favorite unless the user changes this.
