So I've been playing around with forms that already exist, such as doclib-common and doclib-simple-metadata. I can display these forms in the simple-dialog from my dashlet, but I keep getting a nasty error when I try to display a custom form.
My project has changed a little bit - now I'm just trying to create folders in the Data Dictionary with custom properties. To account for the custom properties, I created a model type called eagle
roject, with a parent type of cm:folder. Whenever I try to display a form to create a new eagleroject node, I get the following error:
roject".
My code:
Like I said, if I comment 'itemId: "eagleroject",' and uncomment '//itemId: "cm:folder",' then the form displays just fine, but for a new cm:folder instead of a new eagleroject (obviously).
For my custom model-type, I created eagle-model.xml and eagle-model-context.xml, and I added the form configuration to share-config-custom.xml. My definitions are as follows.
eagle-model.xml
eagle-model-context.xml
and finally, my form configuration in share-config-custom.xml
Any thoughts on what is preventing my dialog element from being created?

roject".My code:
// Test Code
function runTest()

{
Alfresco.util.populateHTML(
[ p_dialog.id + "-dialogHeader", "My Header" ]
);
};
var templateUrl = YAHOO.lang.substitute(Alfresco.constants.URL_SERVICECONTEXT + "components/form?itemKind={itemKind}&itemId={itemId}&destination={destination}&mode={mode}&submitType={submitType}&showCancelButton=true",
{
itemKind: "type",
itemId: "eagle:project",
//itemId: "cm:folder",
destination: destination,
mode: "create",
submitType: "json"
});
// Using Forms Service, so always create new instance
var myDialog = new Alfresco.module.SimpleDialog("${args.htmlid}-myDialog");
myDialog.setOptions(
{
width: "40em",
templateUrl: templateUrl,
actionUrl: null,
destroyOnHide: true,
doBeforeDialogShow:
{
fn: doBeforeDialogShow,
scope: this
},
onSuccess:
{
fn: function myDialog_success(response)
{
Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage(
{
text: "Success!"
});
},
scope: this
},
onFailure:
{
fn: function myDialog_failure(response)
{
if (response)
{
Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage(
{
text: "Failed to complete task."
});
}
else
{
Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage(
{
text: "Failed to communicate with server…or something"
});
}
},
