The link 'onActionView'does not work on the form 'dataGrid'

[3snet]

Hello everyone,

I currently work on customizing the module "DataList" and I want to change the "actionSet" located in the form "dataGrid" to display the action "View" in addition to actions by default: "Edit", "Delete" and "Duplicate".
To this I add the line "<action type="action-link" id="onActionView" permission="admin" label="actions.view" />" in file "datagrid.get.config.xml" .
Link added well as desired, but clicking on the link nothing happens.

Have you any idea why it does not work and if so thank you to tell me how and where to make the necessary changes.

Regards.

What are you expecting that action to do? You'll have to provide the implementation for the "onActionView" method.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I hope that users who do not have editing rights can open the form in display mode and thus unable to make changes.

Knowing that I can not show all fields on the "datagrid" having regard to their large number.

Regards.

The actions are automatically disabled if you do not have the rights to perform them.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes but my wish is to allow "Editor" users to create an item (pen button) and to allow "Reader" users to open the item to read it (dont make changes).

By default, a "Reader" user did not see any action and therefore can not open the form in order to view other fields that are not displayed in the "datagrid".

Thanks.

Ah right, OK.

Then yes, you'll need to implement the function either by editing actions.js or by extension. Grab the first section of onActionEdit, but change the form mode to "view" - you might find it mostly works as-is without much extra work.

Thanks,
Mike

I do not find function "onActionEdit" in the file "C: \ Alfresco \ tomcat \ webapps \ share \ components \ data-lists \ actions.js"!
I did not find either in the file "C: \ Alfresco \ tomcat \ webapps \ share \ js \ actions.js-datalist".

Could you, please, tell me where to find this file.

Thanks.

Sorry, it's in datagrid.js in the same folder.

Thanks,

Thank you Mike, I'll try to do that.
Should I also change the file "datagrid-min.js".
Besides, what's the connection between these two files?

Thanks.

[mikeh]

The -min.js file is a minimized version of the .js file. We use YUI Compressor in the build phase to generate them.

Thanks,
Mike
