Apply a custom action for all space content

[redbull]

Hi all,
starting from code sample included in Jeff Pott "Alfresco Developer Guide" I have write in Alfresco Explorer (3.2) a custom action that apply to space level and to content level:

         <!– Add action to more actions menu for each space –>
         <!– http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Action_group –>
         <action-group id="space_browse">
            <action idref="setFlag" />
         </action-group>
         <action-group id="document_browse">
            <action idref="setFlag" />
         </action-group>
         <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
            <action idref="setFlag" />
         </action-group>
         <action-group id="doc_details_actions">
            <action idref="setFlag" />
         </action-group>

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This action essentially sets a flag (true/false) and it work fine at document level.
My next implementation:
when the user select the action at space level then the custom action should be applied in cycle to its content. So, I need to get the node type and if it is a "Space node" then execute the action to all the content (1 or more file).
Please, can you suggest some code to test node type?
Thanks!

Hi,

The method String getType(NodeRef nodeRef) in NodeService API should help you.

Thanks,

…I don't know the node name (the one on which I run action), it could be any of my nodes (spaces or content).
How I get NodeRef to pass to getType method?
thanks

I tried this :

QName nodeType = nodeService.getType(actionedUponNodeRef);   
// nodeType.getLocalName().compareTo("folder") —> it is a space node
// nodeType.getLocalName().compareTo("content") —> it is a content node
‍‍‍‍‍

It is correct?
Thanks
