Problem passing data from share to alfresco

[pavaniakella]

Hi,

I created a webscript for searching the space in alfresco.
the following are the files I created

search.get.desc.xml
search.get.html.ftl – which contains a form three text boxes to enter search terms
search.post.desc.xml
search.post.html.ftl
search.post.js — this to process the fields  submitted and search the repository and return the results.In this I am using formdata.fields to retrieve the values from form fields.

The whole search function is working well.
Now I wanted to call this webscript from share.

I created the following files

propertysearch.get.desc.xml
propertysearch.get.html.ftl — contains form which was there in search.get.html.ftl
propertysearch.post.desc.xml
propertysearch.post.js — contains the following code.

var scriptURL= "/sample/search";
var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
var postBody = {};
postBody.formdata =formdata;
var result = connector.post(scriptURL,jsonUtils.toJSONString(postBody), "application/json");
model.result = result;

I am not sure whether this is how we send the data because I am getting an error saying

In the search.post.js I am retrieving the form fields data like this.

for each (field in formdata.fields)
{
  if (field.name == "ref")
  {
    ref= field.value;
  }
}


propertysearch.post.html.ftl

I am new to alfresco. Any Help is deeply appreciated.

Hi Pavaniakella,

Could you please post your codes of the search.post.js and search.post.html.ftl.

Hi Pavaniakella,
could you also surround your code snippets with the

tag in order to enhance readability?

Thanks,
Andrea
