topic Alfresco Document Link: 'Remove Document' removes original, too in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-document-link-remove-document-removes-original-too/m-p/279901#M233031 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm trying to set up a simple web script which provides document links. I've created a document library action and the appropriate controller script, </SPAN><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>linkTo.post.js<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN>. Things initially work as expected. I create the link using the &lt;javascript&gt;newParentFolder.addNode(documentNode)&lt;/javascript&gt; method.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>However, deleting the link also deletes the original. I had a look at the Alfresco source code and found that deleting a document is simply a call to &lt;javascript&gt;node.remove();&lt;/javascript&gt;, of which the JavaScript API documentation states that it deletes the node (in contrast to &lt;javascript&gt;folder.removeNode()&lt;/javascript&gt;).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now this is obviously not what I want. Removing the link should remove only the link, not the orginal node. I'd like to mimic the behaviour of Unix symbolic links. I suppose I need to create a special node in the destination folder for that. But how to I do that? Are aspects the right way to go here?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If anybody's interested, my current (alpha-quality) code lives on &lt;a href="</SPAN><A href="https://github.com/Wilhelm-Buechner-Hochschule/link-to" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Wilhelm-Buechner-Hochschule/link-to</A><SPAN>"&gt;GitHub&lt;/a&gt;. The development environment is Alfresco Community 4.2.c.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks a lot in advance!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>— Eric</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:06:16 GMT technaton 2013-08-22T15:06:16Z Alfresco Document Link: 'Remove Document' removes original, too https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-document-link-remove-document-removes-original-too/m-p/279901#M233031 I'm trying to set up a simple web script which provides document links.

Can you please share how to install this please? Thank you very much in advance.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Nov 2013 01:20:08 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-document-link-remove-document-removes-original-too/m-p/279902#M233032 eleutian 2013-11-14T01:20:08Z
