Call Scripts from Template

[emmy]

Hi,
I want call to function scripts created in Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/remove-content.js from template in this way:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%" style="font-size: x-small;">
   <#list companyhome.childrenByLuceneSearch[searchString] as child>
        <tr>
        <td><a href="/alfresco${child.url}">${child.properties.name}</a></td>
        <td><img src="/alfresco/images/icons/delete.gif" border="0" onClick="removeNode(${child.properties.name})"></td> 
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

where removeNode is the function script created.

Is it possible? How?

Regards,
Emanuela

It is not possible to execute scripts from within templates. It is something we might look at in the future.

Thanks,

You could try this:

What i am currently doing to resolve this is to fire up the script from a popup window:

function update() {
window.open('/alfresco/command/script/execute/workspace/SpacesStore/0543b4be-0776-11db-80d6-ad41b73bdc30/workspace/SpacesStore/${document.id}?LFL='+LFL+'&LFI='+LFI);
}‍‍‍

I make this window as small as possible and appear offscreen so it is invisible.

Then when the script has finished, the html it returns is a blank page with an onload="window.close();

as far as the end user is aware, the script is executed from the template.

When i'm finished, i'll adjust it to use ajax so that i don't have to use the popup window hack.

That's quite nifty - but there is an issue that the script will be executed in a separate transaction to the template. So any changes you make to nodes that you have already accessed in the template model may not be reflected as you think - so be careful using this trick

Ahh. Sneaky. Ok, Thanks.

Whoa. Old thread. How time flies.
