Can't embed a Alfresco webscript in a Share custom page

I've been trying to include the result of an Alfresco Explorer webscript in a Share custom page, but to no avail.Basically, what I've done is to create a page (with its corresponding configuration XMLs somewhere else) in an alfresco/web-extension/templates/results.ftl‍:<blockcode><#include

I think that you're missing the source-id element from your Component definition… because you are defining a globally scoped Component you should be able to just set "source-id" to be "global". Try the following:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component>
  <id>global.custresults</id>
  <scope>global</scope>
  <source-id>global</source-id>
  <region-id>custresults</region-id>
  <url>???</url>
</component>

You still need to put your WebScript URL in the <url> element though - and I have intentionally removed the <guid> element, you shouldn't try to build that yourself. Hopefully that should resolve your problem,

No, that doesn't solve the problem, although those were good pointers.

The webscript URL is something like this:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/com/example/components/search/results‍

. If I run it as is, it shows some search results.

Since I want to use it in Share, I've used the following URLs for the

<url‍

tag in the component:
<ul>
<li>

com/example/components/search/results‍

<li>

/com/example/components/search/results‍

<li>

alfresco/service/com/example/components/search/results‍

<li>

/alfresco/service/com/example/components/search/results‍

<li>

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/com/example/components/search/results‍

</ul>

However, none of these shows the webscript HTML.

If I understand your drift here, and you are calling from the Share client your URL should be


http://localhost:9090/share/proxy/alfresco/service/com/example/components/search/results
‍‍‍

assuming that you have "told Alfresco in the desc.xml of your webscript that it is at URL


service/com/example/components/search/results
‍‍‍

If you are calling from JS in the client, there is an alfresco constant Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI for the


http://localhost:9090/share/proxy/alfresco/
‍‍‍

bit.

If you are in the Share layer, you will have to use a remote connection which is set up like


var con = remote.connect("alfresco");
var response = con.call("/com/example/components/search/results");
