Sure - "file" is not defined because you have not provided it anywhere to the client-side JavaScript function and there is no magic "file" in the context of the form control rendering request. If this is an edit/view form, then you will have the "form.arguments.itemId" variable in the FTL context, which might be a NodeRef (if the form is rendered for one).

Hi Alex,

When I use form.arguments.itemId to get the value of nodeRef I get version-delete as the value which is the itemId in my custom action. Below is the form that I am using and the corresponding action that invoke that form.

FORM

</blockcode>

ACTION

<code>

<action id="action.versionDelete" type="javascript" label="action.versionDelete.label">
<param name="function">onActionFormDialog</param>
<param name="itemKind">action</param>
<param name="itemId">version-delete</param> 
<param name="mode">create</param>
<param name="destination">{node.nodeRef}</param>
<param name="successMessage">action.versionDelete.msg.success</param>
<param name="failureMessage">action.versionDelete.msg.failure</param>

</action>

</code>

I was finally able to get the nodeRef in my custom ftl which was used in a field of a form which was invoked by an action. It seems if you define <param name="destination">{node.nodeRef}</param> in your action alfresco includes the noderef as a hidden input field with id as "alf-id24-form-destination" where alf-id24 is a part of fieldHtmlId e.g in my case fieldHtmlId was coming as alf-id24_prop_version. You can do document.getElementById("alf-id24-form-destination").value or YAHOO.util.Dom.get("alf-id24-form-destination").value to get the nodeRef. Full code of ftl below

<code>

<#include "/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/common/utils.inc.ftl" />

YAHOO.util.Event.onContentReady("${fieldHtmlId}", function ()
{
var fieldHtmlIdToken = "${fieldHtmlId}".split("_");
var nodeRef = document.getElementById(fieldHtmlIdToken[0]+"-form-destination").value;
//var nodeRef = YAHOO.util.Dom.get(fieldHtmlIdToken[0]+"-form-destination").value;

Alfresco.util.Ajax.jsonGet({
url: encodeURI(Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + 'api/version?nodeRef='+nodeRef),
successCallback:
{
fn: function loadWebscript_successCallback(response, config)
{
var obj = JSON.parse(response.serverResponse.responseText);
if (obj)
{
for (i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {

// avoid the latest version from getting displayed
if(i===0){
continue;
}
var newOption = document.createElement('option');
newOption.value = obj[i].label;
newOption.text = obj[i].label;
YAHOO.util.Dom.get("${fieldHtmlId}").options.add(newOption);
}
// Current value
var sp = document.getElementById("${fieldHtmlId}");
sp.value = "${field.value}";
}
}
}
});
}, this);
