Customizing the doclib filter mechanism

[pl_componize]

In order to meet my requirements with custom doclib behaviors,

I'm finding myself hacking a lot by overrinding the repository files filter.lib.js and doc.lib.js and slingshot webscript files.
But that leaves me with the work of copying any update on the alfresco SVN on those files later on.


Is there any plan to provide extension point on those? Specifically, not only for running lucene query on the spacestore but to call script extension as well.

thanks

Hi,

The short answer is yes.

The longer answer is that we'd ideally like to make it possible to make customizations to the JavaScript components without the need to completely override the WebScripts that instantiate them. There is internal discussion and prototyping of various solutions going on at the moment which will need to be fully evaluated before determining if and when they get into the product.

Regards,
Dave

can you explain briefly what is the role of the filterOwner in the filter mechanism?

I've added a filter in a custom action in the document library which fires the changeFilter event, but I can't get the toolbar to properly display the right bundle.
