How to change Aikau footer?

upforsin — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 22:17:45 GMT

Hello

I've been following Pavel Makhov's tutorial on how to customize alfresco footer but it doesn't work. I'm on Alfresco 6.1.1.

I copied faceted-search.get.js into

/my-project-share/src/main/resources/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/com/project/pages/faceted-search/

footer folder with css, i18n, templates and MyFooter.js are in the

 /my-project-share/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/my-project-share/js/mycmpny/

In the my-extension.xml I have:

<package name="mycmpny" location="resources/my-project-share/js/mycmpny"/>

And in the end of the faceted-search.get.js I pasted:

var footer = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "ALF_SHARE_FOOTER");
footer.config.widgetsForFooter = [{
  name: "mycmpny/footer/MyFooter", config: {
    semanticWrapper: "footer",
    currentYear: new Date().getFullYear(),
    snowLabel: "label.snow"
  }
}];

(I changed ALF_STICKY_FOOTER to ALF_SHARE_FOOTER )

What may be wrong? I have no logs, no errors, the old footer is still displayed.

You are likely missing the <customization> configuration in your extension XML to map your com.project.pages.faceted-search package to the proper Alfresco package so that faceted-search.get.js is actually called as a post-processor to the original web script.

That is my my-extension.xml

<extension>
<modules>
<module>
<id>My custom widgets</id>
<version>1.0</version>
<auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
<configurations>
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="WebFramework" replace="false">
<web-framework>
<dojo-pages>
<packages>
<package name="mycmpny" location="resources/my-project-share/js/mycmpny"/>
</packages>
</dojo-pages>
</web-framework>
</config>
</configurations>
</module>
</modules>
</extension>

I did just like Mr. Pavel Makhov did.

EDIT. I figured it out! Than you so much @afaust.

I had to add additional module inmy-extension.xml

<module>
      <id>Extension Module Footer</id>
      <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
      <evaluator type="default.extensibility.evaluator"/>
      <customizations>
        <customization>
           <targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco.share.pages.faceted-search</targetPackageRoot>
           <sourcePackageRoot>com/project/pages/faceted-search</sourcePackageRoot>
        </customization> 
      </customizations>
</module>

Also very helpful was the functionality which ables you to download generated extension JAR. I really appreciate the guy who did it!

Now i'm just wondering why Pavel Makhov in his tutorial didn't do it. Didn't the previous Alfresco version require it?
