Several links to the repository (header share)

[ajv]

Hi all,

I want to customize the main header bar in the Share application via the share-config-custom.xml mechanism.

I need two repository items:
Repository 1 with root-node in company home.
Repository 2 with root-node in user-home.


Is there any option to do so without developing a new page (using the same repository.xml)??
Thanks in advance!

No sorry; there's currently only one "root-node" config value in share-config.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Ajv,

As Mike says there is no config support for this. If you however want to take your chances you might be able to get something working using the following approach. Note that this approach is untested.

In a 4.0 server:
Create a new "userlibrary" page and create a link to it in the header.
Create an extension module that is only activated when for certain page names, in this case only the name of your new page.
The extension module would then "customize" the document library components's javascript controllers and set the "model.rootNode" to the user's home (instead of the value that is picked form the <root-node> element).

So something like this:

/alfresco/site-data/extensions/acme-extension.xml

<extension>
   <modules>
      <module>
         <id>Acme :: User home</id>
         <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
         <evaluator type="com.acme.userhome.evaluator.AcmePageModuleEvaluator">
            <params>
               <page>userlibrary</page>
            </params>
         </evaluator>
         <!– Apply the following webscript customizations when the base evaluator above passes –>
         <customizations>
            <customization>
               <targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco</targetPackageRoot>
               <sourcePackageRoot>acme.userhome.customizations</sourcePackageRoot>
            </customization>
         </customizations>
      </module>
   </modules>
<extension>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

/alfresco/site-webscripts/acme/userhome/customizations/components/documentlibrary/repo-tree.get.js

var userRootNode = // todo: code that finds out the root node
model.rootNode = userRootNode; // Change the freemarker model so this root node will be used by the client side javascript components‍‍

Then repeat the process for all document library webscripts that use the config, i.e. toolbar.get.

Take a look at the following blog post on how to create an extension module and how to "customize" webscript javascript controllers.

I hope I understood your requirements correct.

Cheers, Erik
