Managing complex organization

princeali — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 11:57:00 GMT

Hi,i'm extending the content model and I want to include roles management in the "edit properties" page. So actually, I have two properties whose values correspond to groups. I plan to make a user who is a member of BOTH these groups, have the consumer rights. Is it possible to do so?

Yes, this is possible. One way to do it would be to define your properties in an aspect, then write a behavior that binds to that aspect. The behavior can check the value of the two properties and then make the associated changes to the permissions.

Ok, thanks Jeff!

I'm trying to implement a basic behavior using javascript but it won't work. Here's my context.xml file:



<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>
    <!– Registration of new models –>
    <bean id="someco.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">

            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
   
   <bean id="managePermissions"
   class="org.alfresco.repo.policy.registration.ClassPolicyRegistration"
   parent="policyRegistration">

      </property>
      <property name="className">

      </property>
      <property name="behaviour">
         <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptBehaviour" parent="scriptBehaviour">
            <property name="location">

                  <constructor-arg>
                     <value>alfresco/extension/scripts/managePermissions.js</value>
                  </constructor-arg>
               </bean>
            </property>
         </bean>
      </property>
   </bean>
   
</beans> 

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My managePermissions.js is like :


var scriptFailed = false;

// Have a look at the behaviour object that should have been passed
if (behaviour == null) {
    logger.log("The behaviour object has not been set.");
    scriptFailed = true;
}

// Check the name of the behaviour
if (behaviour.name == null && behaviour.name != "onUpdateProperties") {
    logger.log("The behaviour name has not been set correctly.");
    scriptFailed = true;
} else {
    logger.log("Behaviour name: " + behaviour.name);
}

// Check the arguments
if (behaviour.args == null) {
    logger.log("The args have not been set.");
    scriptFailed = true;
} else {
    if (behaviour.args.length == 1) {
        var childAssoc = behaviour.args[0];
        logger.log("Calling manage permissions");
      childAssoc.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description"] = "A definition!";
    } else {
        logger.log("The number of arguments is incorrect.");
        scriptFailed = true;
    }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But, when I update the properties using the edit-metadata form, the cm:description won't change.

Try adding childAssoc.save() after setting the properties.

I've added childAssoc.save() after setting the properties but it still won't work. I can't even do some debugging due to logger.log not working.

Add following line to your code

logger.getSystem().out("*****");‍

,it will print log information on tomcat console .
I doubt if you place your context.xml in the right location and if your js is executed .

Ok, I found why my script didn't work. The onUpdateProperties behavior has 3 args and not only one.
Now, it works fine. Thanks for your help!
