Hello,

there is no "automatic" / "implicit" importing of alfresco.js anywhere in Alfresco - all JavaScript code loaded within Share pages always has access to functions from alfresco.js. This is possible since all page templates use alfresco-template.ftl, which explicitly renders HTML code to load global Alfresco JavaScript/CSS files (<= 3.4) or defines a region for a global compoenent which renders similar code (4.0).
So, all your custom JavaScript files loaded within Share pages / modules should ALWAYS also be able to access Alfresco.util.formatDate, unless you've changed either the alfresco.js itself, the templates/web scripts rendering the load code or have implemented a page which does not use these global templates/web scripts.

Axel

Dear MikeH , AFaust and Alfresco Team,

@AFaust :: First of thanks a tonn  for your quick response.

As you mentioned in your last post, I went through alfresco-template.ftl and got to know that from that file only everything gets loaded in each and every file of Alfresco Share.

Now, As I mentioned in above 08 Oct 2011's post that I want functions of [size=125]alfresco.js[/size] in flash-upload.js .


{Correct me if I am wrong}
As Flash-Upload in for upload pop-up flash-upload.get.html.ftl is loaded as FORM. I checked for this ftl template but unfortunately I could not able to find the template (so as not able to find include tag of alfresco-template.ftl) and I think for that only I am not able to get that function of alfresco.js.

Please Guide me further.

Appreciate your help.

MikeH and All,you can also guide me in this quest.

Thanks!

What is it you are actually trying to achieve? I mean from a high level, not a JavaScript level.

You might want to investigate some online JavaScript courses, as I think your lack of JavaScript knowledge might be causing you problems – Alfresco Share is a very complex application using advanced JavaScript techniques. It's slightly concerning that you don't seem to have a good understanding of the basics before trying to customize something more advanced.

Thanks,
Mike

Dear Mike,

On very high level I want to put one Date Field on Upload Pop Up after which Document is moved to certain folder.

I am able to customize the Upload Pop-Up Page and also kept one Date Field on that Page. I am able to save my custom date in to my custom content model's property in string format as I am not able to get that Alfresco.util.formatDate(x,y,..) function in my flash-upload(-min).js file.

Now I guess you understand properly on High Level.

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\org\alfresco

<#include "include/alfresco-template.ftl" />  is there in each and every template but I am not able to find it for Upload template or I might be referring wrong folder location.

Now,Expect your valuable reply.

Thanks!
