Scenario i would have...possible?

[dave984]

Hi all,
i would make the following thing in the Alfresco Repository:

- considering you are in a folder with some images inside: add a new button on the right side(under edit metadata)
- pushing the button will open a new view/window/popup in which you can see: the image itself, a combobox, a button
- the combobox values are retieved from a webservice using GET method
- the button will make a POST to the same webservice

Is it possible? Can you advice me some guidelines?!

Alfresco share use YUI components so you need to build your solution around that only.
for button you could use YAHOO.widget.Button()
For adding event I think
Alfresco.util.createYUIButton(p_scope, p_name, p_onclick, p_obj, p_oElement)

then associate event with that.
Which will call the webscript in turn for you onclick of button.

thank you for your answer!what about the GET/POST call to the web service?
i've read also in this forum it's not simple…

you  can do that easily
something like this

<script type="text/javascript"> 
   function getjson(this,site){
      var scriptURL = "/alfresco/service/extension/abc";
      alert(scriptURL);
      YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest("GET", scriptURL, 
         { 
            success: handleInfo,
            failure: handleErrorYahoo
         }, 
         null);
         
   }
   function handleInfo(response) { alert(response.responseText);
  var x=response.responseText;
  
 location.href='data:application/download,'+ encodeURIComponent(x);

}

</script>
