permanent action

[ronald]

Hi All,

Altough i have seen very similair questions asked in this forum, i have not seen an answer to my specific question.

Simply said i want an action - copying a file to a specific location - which is visible in the ui (similair to workflow approve step) but that does not deattach when the action is executed once.

When it is possible i want to write the above action through a javascript.

Can this be accomplished?

Kind regards,

Ronald Vermeire

Yes is is possible to add new actions to the UI, take a look at:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_Guide
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Adding_Custom_Menu_Items

You can code your action in Java to do whatever you want. However in Alfresco 1.4 you will be able to write your action using the JavaScript API which is very powerful and much easier than adding new code to the repository:
