How to replace the faceted-search form's footer for a custom one?

[douglascrp]

I'm trying to customize the faceted-search form and I was already able to replace the page title.
My next requirement is to replace the footer for a custom one, with a custom logo, and without any of the licence text information.

I tried to create a custom widget and replace it as follow:

var pageTitleWidget = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel.widgets, "id", "HEADER_TITLE");
var footerWidget = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel.widgets, "id", "ALF_STICKY_FOOTER");

if(pageTitleWidget != null){
    pageTitleWidget.config.browserTitlePrefix = msg.get("faceted.search.page.custom.title.prefix");
}

if(footerWidget != null){
   footerWidget.config.widgetsForFooter = [
       {
           name: "custom/widgets/footer/CustomFooter",
           config: {
              semanticWrapper: "footer",
              logoImageSrc: "custom-logo.png"
           }
        }
     ]
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is it possible?
Can someone please provide some sample code on this?

Thank you in advance.

It should be possible, that's the whole idea… can you elaborate on why it's not working?

Hi Douglas,

I am trying to customise the search page footer using Pavel Makhov  and it doesn't seems to be working for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Try with ALF_SHARE_FOOTER instead of ALF_STICKY_FOOTER

(see site-webscripts\org\alfresco\share\imports\share-footer.lib.js)

Thanks guisup,

I was able to do it by overriding the share-footer.llib.js and commenting out part of code not relevant to me.

NOTE - In SDK 3 you have to put the above file under src/main/assembly/web/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/imports/share-footer.lib.js

Hi Hiten,

Sorry, my answer was not precise enough.

Instead of overriding the native code you can use an extension like :

<extension>
     <modules>
          <module>
               <id>Hide Footer in faceted search page</id>
               <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
               <version>1.0</version>
               <evaluator type="default.extensibility.evaluator" />
               <customizations>
                    <customization>
                         <targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco.share.pages.faceted-search</targetPackageRoot>
                         <sourcePackageRoot>custom.share.pages.faceted-search</sourcePackageRoot>
                    </customization>
               </customizations>
          </module>
     </modules>
</extension>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and in SDK3:

META-INF\resources\alfresco\web-extension\site-webscripts\custom\share\pages\faceted-search\faceted-search.get.js

function findAndRemoveIn(obj, arrContext, arrIdx, id) {
    var idx, max, key;
    if (obj !== undefined && obj !== null) {
        if (Object.prototype.toString.apply(obj) === "[object Object]") {
            if (obj.hasOwnProperty("id") && obj.id === id) {
                if (arrContext !== null && arrIdx !== null)
                {
                    arrContext.splice(arrIdx, 1);
                }
                else
                {
                    logger.debug("Unexpected match outside of array structure: " + jsonUtils.toJSONString(obj));
                }
            } else {
                for (key in obj) {
                    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key))
                    {
                        findAndRemoveIn(obj[key], null, null, id);
                    }
                }
            }
        } else if (Object.prototype.toString.apply(obj) === "[object Array]") {
            for (idx = 0, max = obj.length; idx < max; idx++)
            {
                findAndRemoveIn(obj[idx], obj, idx, id);
            }
        }
    }
}
findAndRemoveIn(model.jsonModel.widgets, null, null, "ALF_SHARE_FOOTER");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi guisup,

I did understood what you meant . As a rule of thumb for any customisation in Alfresco I always first try with the Alfresco share extension mechanism and if I am not able to succeed then I go for overriding mechanism.

As I said in my above comments I had done this via overriding for now as I was not able to properly do it the way you suggested.

I would definitely give it a try.

Thanks
