custom move action

[nancyaggarwal]

Hi All,

I am making a custom action in which when i click on the action the document gets move to another folder in company home.Till now i am able to see the action in document library but when i click on it, it says it can't be moved.

I am using a simpleRepoAction for client-side javascript and from which i am calling a webscript for moving the document.

I am getting the following error:

15:52:47,333 ERROR [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 09070001 Failed to convert request to JSON

Hello Nancy,

You may be passing the STRING to JSONObject with leading spaces. Try trimming.

Thanks,

Hello Yogesh,

I tried trimming buut no success.


Thanks

Can you please log the json object in Logger and then try to validate json object on http://jsonlint.com/?

I do't think that your client side code is creating JSON.

         for (var name in params)

         {

            if (params.hasOwnProperty(name) && !Alfresco.util.arrayContains(namedParams, name))

            {

               repoActionParams[name] = params[name];

            }

         }

I think will create an array, not a JSON structure

You can use a client side JSON library or jQuery if its already loaded.
