How can I validate documents field in the workflow

[rachidon]

Hello,

I'm new in using Alfresco and I have a question

My matter is actually, when submitting start workflow, to check if the logged on user is the document coordinator and if the document is not already in an other active workflow.

I know that this must be done with client side validation via js file.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I'm back with a solution even if I'm not sure if it's the best. Any way that solved my problem.

I modified the method ObjectRenderer_renderCellAdd of object-finder.js to check if the user is the document coordinator and if there is no other active workflow linked to the document.

Instead of :
<javascript>
elCell.innerHTML = '<a id="' + containerId + '" href="#" ' + style + ' class="add-item add-' + scope.eventGroup + '" title="' + scope.msg("form.control.object-picker.add-item") + '" tabindex="0"><span class="addIcon"> </span></a>';
</javascript>

I put :

<javascript>

var showSelectLink = true;
            if(oRecord.getData("type") == "cm:content"){
               showSelectLink = false;
               //Checking if the document is already in an other active worflow
               var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
               var url = window.location.href;
               var arr = url.split("/");
               xmlHttp.open( "GET", (arr[0] + "//" + arr[2]).concat("/alfresco/s/api/node/").concat((oRecord.getData("nodeRef")).replace(":/","")).concat("/workflow-instances"), false );
               xmlHttp.send( null );
               var json = JSON.parse(xmlHttp.responseText);
               
               if(json.data.length == 0){
               //Checking if the logged on user is the document coordinator
                  xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                  xmlHttp.open( "GET", (arr[0] + "//" + arr[2]).concat("/alfresco/s/slingshot/doclib/permissions/").concat((oRecord.getData("nodeRef")).replace(":/","")), false );
                  xmlHttp.send( null );
                  var json = JSON.parse(xmlHttp.responseText);
                  var hasDirectPermission = false;
                  //Direct permission
                  if(json.direct.length != 0){
                     var permission;
                     for(var index = 0; index < json.direct.length; index++){
                        permission = json.direct[index];
                        if(permission.role == "Coordinator"){
                           showSelectLink = true;
                           hasDirectPermission = true;
                           break;
                        }
                     }
                  }
                  //Inherited Permission
                  if(!hasDirectPermission && json.inherited.length != 0){
                     var permission;
                     for(var index = 0; index < json.inherited.length; index++){
                        permission = json.inherited[index];
                        if(permission.role == "Coordinator"){
                           showSelectLink = true;
                           break;
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            }
           
            if(showSelectLink){
               elCell.innerHTML = '<a id="' + containerId + '" href="#" ' + style + ' class="add-item add-' + scope.eventGroup + '" title="' + scope.msg("form.control.object-picker.add-item") + '" tabindex="0"><span class="addIcon"> </span></a>';
            }

</javascript>
