Custom Dialog in WCM

[vijay_alfresco]

Hi,

I am trying to build my own custom dialog for WCM Add Content. I want this to be similar to the "Edit Properties Dialog" in alfresco CMS where you can edit the properties.

Following are the steps I followed, but the Edit Properties dialog is blank.

1. I Copied edit-content-properties from jsp/content folder to jsp/wcm folder

2. Added Following code in AddAvmContentDialog.java

      protected String doPostCommitProcessing(FacesContext context, String outcome) {………………………………………………….this.showOtherProperties = true;this.avmBrowseBean.setAvmActionNode(new AVMNode(this.avmService.lookup(-1, this.path)));return "dialog:avmEditContentProperties1";}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

3. Created a new class AVMEditContentPropertiesDialog.java and following is the code

package org.alfresco.web.bean.wcm;import java.util.Map;import org.alfresco.model.ContentModel;import org.alfresco.service.cmr.avm.AVMService;import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentData;import org.alfresco.web.bean.content.EditContentPropertiesDialog;import org.alfresco.web.bean.repository.Node;public class AVMEditContentPropertiesDialog extends EditContentPropertiesDialog {   /** AVM Browse Bean reference */   protected AVMBrowseBean avmBrowseBean;   protected AVMService avmService;         @Override   public void init(Map<String, String> parameters)   {      super.init(parameters);            // setup the editable node      this.editableNode = initEditableNode();            // special case for Mimetype - since this is a sub-property of the ContentData object      // we must extract it so it can be edited in the client, then we check for it later      // and create a new ContentData object to wrap it and it's associated URL      ContentData content = (ContentData)this.editableNode.getProperties().get(ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT);      if (content != null)      {         this.editableNode.getProperties().put(TEMP_PROP_MIMETYPE, content.getMimetype());         this.editableNode.getProperties().put(TEMP_PROP_ENCODING, content.getEncoding());      }   }      /**    * Init the editable Node    */   protected Node initEditableNode()   {     //get the AVM path that will contain the content     String parent = this.avmBrowseBean.getCurrentPath();     return new AVMNode(this.avmService.lookup(-1, parent));   }//   public void start(ActionEvent event)//   {//      // NOTE: this is a temporary solution to allow us to use the new dialog//      //       framework beans outside of the dialog framework, we need to do//      //       this because the uploading requires a separate non-JSF form, this//      //       approach can not be used in the current dialog framework. Until//      //       we have a pure JSF upload solution we need this initialisation////      init(null);//   }   /**    * @param avmService The AVMService to set.    */   public void setAvmService(AVMService avmService)   {      this.avmService = avmService;   }      /**    * @param avmBrowseBean    The AVMBrowseBean to set.    */   public void setAvmBrowseBean(AVMBrowseBean avmBrowseBean)   {      this.avmBrowseBean = avmBrowseBean;   }}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

4. Entered Managed bean to faces-config-beans.xml as follows

   <managed-bean>      <description>         The bean that backs up the AVM Add Content Dialog      </description>      <managed-bean-name>AVMEditContentPropertiesDialog</managed-bean-name>      <managed-bean-class>org.alfresco.web.bean.wcm.AVMEditContentPropertiesDialog</managed-bean-class>      <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>      <managed-property>         <property-name>nodeService</property-name>         <value>#{NodeService}</value>      </managed-property>      <managed-property>         <property-name>dictionaryService</property-name>         <value>#{DictionaryService}</value>      </managed-property>      <managed-property>         <property-name>avmService</property-name>         <value>#{AVMLockingAwareService}</value>      </managed-property>      <managed-property>         <property-name>avmBrowseBean</property-name>         <value>#{AVMBrowseBean}</value>      </managed-property>   </managed-bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

5. Added the dialog to web-client-config-dialogs.xml as follows

         <!– Definition of the edit content properties dialog –>         <dialog name="editContentProperties1" page="/jsp/content/wcm/edit-content-properties.jsp"                  managed-bean="AVMEditContentPropertiesDialog" icon="/images/icons/edit_properties_large.gif"                 title-id="modify_content_properties" description-id="edit_content_description" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

6. Added action to web-client-config-wcm-actions.xml

         <action id="edit_content">            <permissions>               <permission allow="true">CreateChildren</permission>            </permissions>            <label-id>edit_content</label-id>            <image>/images/icons/add.gif</image>            <action>dialog:editContentProperties1</action>            <action-listener>#{AvmEditContentPropertiesDialog.start}</action-listener>         </action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When I try to add the content and click on OK button in add dialog, I am getting Edit Properties screen with no details

Please let me know where I am wrong. I am new to Alfresco.

Thanks,
Vijay
