Need to show help button on title bar of dashlet in alfresco

[janaka1984]

Even if I use following line on FTL file

new Alfresco.widget.DashletTitleBarActions("args.htmlid")
.setOptions({"actions":[{"bubbleOnClick":
{"message":'${msg("dashlet.help")}'},"cssClass":"help","tooltip":'${msg("dashlet.help.tooltip")}'}]}); 

or
===============================================================================================================================
new Alfresco.widget.DashletTitleBarActions("${id}").setOptions(
   {
      actions:
      [
         {
            cssClass: "help",
            bubbleOnClick:
            {
               message: "Information about dashlet"
            },
            tooltip: "Display help for this dashlet"
         }
      ]
   });

It can not show help (?) button on title bar. Please tell me how to show "help" with tool tip.

thanks

Can you post your dashlets html.ftl. What you have in the controller looks correct (and always works for me).

thanks for immediate reply

this is my main() of controller

function main()
{
   
   var dashletResizer = {
            id : "DashletResizer",
            name : "Alfresco.widget.DashletResizer",
            initArgs : ["\"" + args.htmlid + "\"", "\"" + instance.object.id + "\""],
            useMessages: false
         };

   model.widgets = [dashletResizer];
  
}

main();

=======================================================================================================


this is my FTL code



<#assign id = args.htmlid>
<#assign jsid = args.htmlid?js_string>

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[

     new Test.dashlet.MyResult("${args.htmlid}").setOptions(
     {
        "componentId": "${instance.object.id}",
        "title": "<#if args.title?exists>${args.title?js_string}</#if>"
     }).setMessages(${messages});




var dashletTitleBarActions = new Alfresco.widget.DashletTitleBarActions("${id}").setOptions(
   {
      actions:
      [
         {
            cssClass: "help",
            bubbleOnClick:
            {
               message: "Information about dashlet"
            },
            tooltip: "Display help for this dashlet"
         }
      ]
   });
</script>

Here is an example of a dashlet I have written that has the ? on the title bar.

Controller fg-lga-related-tickets.get.js

/**
 * Employee Comments component GET method
 */

function main()
{
   if(args.nodeRef) {
      model.nodeRef = args.nodeRef;
   } else {
      model.nodeRef = "none";
   }
   // Component definition
   var relatedTickets = {
      id: "FGLGARelatedTicketsList",
      name: "FarthestGate.dashlet.RelatedTicketsList",
      assignTo : "fgLgaRelatedTicketsList",                   // Need to reference the generated JS object
      options: {
         componentId : instance.object.id,
         nodeRef: model.nodeRef
      }
   };

    // Dashlet title bar component actions and resizer
    var actions = [];
    actions.push({
      cssClass: "help",
      bubbleOnClick:
      {
         message: msg.get("dashlet.help")
      },
      tooltip: msg.get("dashlet.help.tooltip")
    });
   
    var dashletResizer = {
      id: "DashletResizer",
      name: "Alfresco.widget.DashletResizer",
      initArgs: ['"' + args.htmlid + '"', '"' + instance.object.id + '"'],
      useMessages: false
    };
   
    var dashletTitleBarActions = {
      id: "DashletTitleBarActions",
      name: "Alfresco.widget.DashletTitleBarActions",
      useMessages: false,
      options: {
         actions: actions
      }
    };
    model.widgets = [relatedTickets, dashletResizer, dashletTitleBarActions];
}

main();

This creates a working dashlet with the help & resize. The data is loaded via ajax from the browser once the dashlet is painted.
