New Action Page Sample Backup Action not running

[rcrittendon]

I tried the backup-action example on the page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Document_Library_Action.  The Backup menu displays for documents, but when I select the menu nothing happens.  No message results, I do not think anything ran.

I added the web-scripts to Alfresco, made sure that the script was added to Alfresco etc.

Rollin

P.S.  Is there any documentation on best-practices to get a dialog to display for a custom action?

Hi again! …
Got it!! … For my version of Alfresco, Community - v3.2.0 (2039), it's necessary this line:

var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();
‍‍‍

instead of just:

var file = row;
‍‍‍

Thanks for the support…

I am glad for you 

I am using Alfresco 3.2r

You are using the original line of the wiki, which is not running for me with 3.2r, interesting.

var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();
‍‍‍

Do you have an idea to use a simple workflow instead of backup ?
