topic Add an archive action in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307921#M261051 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am currently working on Alfresco 4.2 and I have to add an 'Archive' action (simply a move to a folder that the user can't choose) to the list 'Document Actions' just below the other as 'Download', 'Copy to …', 'Move to …', etc.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I started by adding a button in a 'share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml' (actually two buttons, the second is to test the java code):</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;actions&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;action id="document-archive" type="javascript" label="actions.&lt;myCompany&gt;.archive"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;param name="function"&gt;onActionArchive&lt;/param&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;param name="successMessage"&gt;message.archive.success&lt;/param&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;param name="failureMessage"&gt;message.archive.failure&lt;/param&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;evaluator negate="true"&gt;evaluator.doclib.action.isLocked&lt;/evaluator&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/action&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;action id="document-execute-script" type="javascript" label="actions.document.archive.by.script"&gt;&lt;/action&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/actions&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;actionGroups&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;actionGroup id="document-browse"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;action index="264" id="document-archive"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;action index="266" id="document-execute-script"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/actionGroup&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/actionGroups&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/config&gt;<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibCustom"&gt;<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;dependencies&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– &lt;css src="my-custom-action.css" /&gt; –&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;js src="components/documentlibrary/archive.js"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/dependencies&gt;<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;dependencies/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/config&gt;<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>From there, I have a file in the same place 'custom-slingshot-application-context.xml' to define a Bean whose value is 'alfresco.messages.custom'. So then I change the text displayed on the buttons to a file 'messages/custom.properties'.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I also have a file 'share/components/DocumentLibrary/archive.js' which automatically generate a -min.js and an image 'share/components/documentlibrary/actions/document-archive-16.png' for my button. Until then, everything works exactly as I expected.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So now we have to add an action behind the button and that's where the trouble begins. Alfresco side this time, I created a class 'ArchiveActionExecuter' that extends 'ActionExecuterAbstractBase' and does what I want. As for custom.properties I have a Bean that allows me to reference this class:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&lt;bean id="archive" class="org.alfresco.module.&lt;myCompanyAmp&gt;.ArchiveActionExecuter" parent="action-executer"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="serviceRegistry"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ref bean="ServiceRegistry"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/property&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="repository"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ref bean="repositoryHelper"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/property&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/bean&gt;<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What should I do to call my java class when I press my 'Archive' button? What should be put in the file 'archive.js' I mentioned above?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Currently, I'm sure my java class is good because if I add a file archive-action.js, for example, in the repository under 'Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts' with:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />var archiveAction = actions.create("archive");<BR />archiveAction.execute(document);<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I click on my second button and I choose the script I just added (archive-action.js), then my java class is called and the action is done the way I want.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now, if I click on the 'Archive' button, nothing happens.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Currently, in the file 'share/components/DocumentLibrary/archive.js' I have the following code:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />(function() {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; YAHOO.Bubbling.fire("registerAction",<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; actionName: "onActionArchive",<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fn: function &lt;myCompany&gt;_onActionArchive(file) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var archiveAction = actions.create("archive");<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;archiveAction.execute(document);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; });<BR />})();<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I think the problem come from that file but I'm a little confused and do not really see what's missing for the action to be launched when a user click on the button, so if someone could help me it would be very nice!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you for reading and for your help</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Edit: I would also say that my action 'archive' appears and could be used as a 'Content rule' (can be added to a file so that as soon as someone uploads a document, this action is called for example).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 13 May 2013 13:59:17 GMT morganp1 2013-05-13T13:59:17Z Add an archive action https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307921#M261051 Hi,I am currently working on Alfresco 4.2 and I have to add an 'Archive' action (simply a move to a folder that the user can't choose) to the list 'Document Actions' just below the other as 'Download', 'Copy to …', 'Move to …', etc.I started by adding a button in a 'share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/we Mon, 13 May 2013 13:59:17 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307921#M261051 morganp1 2013-05-13T13:59:17Z Re: Add an archive action https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307922#M261052 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Well does your event fire? </SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 19 May 2013 14:37:15 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307922#M261052 zladuric 2013-05-19T14:37:15Z Re: Add an archive action https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-an-archive-action/m-p/307923#M261053 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I think my event fire.
