How to extend Create Library dialog?

phivuu-2 — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 15:57:01 GMT

I want to add a dropdown list to the existing dialog where the value is forwarded like in Aikau. I don't know where to begin. I've taken a look at this https://www.alfresco.com/abn/adf/docs/content-services/dialogs/library.dialog/ and looked for "adf-library-dialog".

siteService.config.widgetsForCreateSiteDialogOverrides = [
  {
    id: "SELECT_PROJECT_TEMPLATE",
    name: "alfresco/forms/controls/Select",
    targetPosition: "START",
    config: {
      fieldId: "SELECT_PROJECT_TEMPLATE",
      label: "TestTitle",
      name: "ph:customTemplateProperty",
      value: standardTemplate,
      optionsConfig: {
        fixed: options
      }
    }
  }
];

Hi @phivuu-2,

What do you mean with "the value is forwarded like in Aikau"?

Are you looking to get one of the values from an external source?

Which is your goal?

Cheers.

Hi,

The goal is to retrieve the value in repository(sites.post.json.js). With Aikau it was possible with ph:customTemplateProperty.

siteService.config.widgetsForCreateSiteDialogOverrides = [
  {
    id: "SELECT_PROJECT_TEMPLATE",
    name: "alfresco/forms/controls/Select",
    targetPosition: "START",
    config: {
      fieldId: "SELECT_PROJECT_TEMPLATE",
      label: "TestTitle",
      name: "ph:customTemplateProperty",
      value: standardTemplate,
      optionsConfig: {
        fixed: options
      }
    }
  }
];

I've gotten some advice on Gitter which I'm looking into now. If I have understood correctly I need to do the following:

Make my own LibraryDialogComponent to add the extra field I want. https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/tree/6331979baa1ab5e37f62da466abb2a2074bbebfe/lib/content-services/src/lib/dialogs/library
Make my own custom Action + Effect that does what CREATE_LIBRARY does + fetching values for my droplist from the repository.(Replacing the existing action) https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/development/src/assets/app.extensions.json#L97
Lastly, somehow supply the selected value in ph:customTemplateProperty in the request to sites.post.json.js
