Hi,

same problem: Click on new share action "Backup" does not work.
the result of

javascript:alert(Alfresco.doclib.Actions.prototype.onActionBackup);‍

is

function DL_onActionBackup(file) {
    this.modules.actions.genericAction({success: {message: this.msg("message.backup.success", file.displayName)}, failure: {message: this.msg("message.backup.failure", file.displayName)}, webscript: {name: "backup/site/{site}/{container}", method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST}, params: {site: this.options.siteId, container: this.options.containerId}, config: {requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON, dataObj: {nodeRefs: [file.nodeRef]}}});
}‍‍‍

Does someone have a clue?  Can help?

thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,

Are you using a browser which can show requests etc.? If so, check what request is being made when you click the action, and what the response is. If you're not using such a browser, install one  :wink:

Hi Michael,

yes i used the Firefox Firebug extension - but, if i click on the new action "Backup" there is no output on Firebug console …
so no request is made. Other standard action buttons are working. I can not find the event for clicks on action buttons - do you have a hint (i guess yui is involved somehow)?

thanks a lot
Greg

PS: Alfresco version is Alfresco-Community-3.3g-Full-Setup

I just noticed something:
In my post I talk about Alfresco.DocumentList, while you use Alfresco.doclib.Actions. Now it might be one of those objects is an extension of the other, but please verify the action is there.

I use Alfresco.doclib.Actions as it is described in the Docu http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Document_Library_Action  (at the end of Page) for version 3.2 onwards.
So i changed the code to this:

/**
 * DocumentList "Backup" action
 * 
 * @namespace Alfresco
 * @class Alfresco.DocumentList
 */
(function()
{
   /**
    * Backup single document.
    *
    * @method onActionBackup
    * @param row {object} DataTable row representing file to be actioned
    */
  Alfresco.doclib.Actions.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(file)
   {
     
      this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      {
         success:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.backup.success", file.displayName)
         },
         failure:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.backup.failure", file.displayName)
         },
         webscript:
         {
            name: "backup/site/{site}/{container}",
            method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST
         },
         params:
         {
            site: this.options.siteId,
            container: this.options.containerId
         },
         config:
         {
            requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON,
            dataObj:
            {
               nodeRefs: [file.nodeRef]
            }
         }
      });
   };
})();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi Michael,

You gave me a push in the right direction. I have a solution now.
One must use Alfresco.DocumentList NOT Alfresco.doclib.Actions:

 Alfresco.DocumentList.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(file)
   { 
     this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      …
    success:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.backup.success", file.displayName)
         },
         failure:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.backup.failure", file.displayName)
         },
         ….

}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

to get it work for Alfresco version 3.3.

AND: use as parameter: file
and delete row: var file = this.widgets.dataTable.getRecord(row).getData();
it is obsolete.
I test it with: 

Alfresco.DocumentList.prototype.onActionBackup = function DL_onActionBackup(file)
   {
    console.log("File Node: "+file.displayName); 

     this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      ….
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And change this._msg to this.msg

So - thanks for your help and fast response
Greg

You're welcome! Glad you worked it out with the hints I gave, as you can see from this thread the previous poster with this issue wasn't as fortunate.
