aikau - AlfList in dialog

[nancygaillard]

Hello,

I would know how can I have an AlfList in a dialog?
I tried this simple test, but it doesn't work …

The original test was a a click on a propertylink (in a alfList) which would generate a dialog which would contain a list - (precision if I have to do something different)
The problem is that the worth I obtain is a simple dialog, and the best a dialog with an error explaining a difficulty to render the view (sorry I am French)

I have seen https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/master/tutorial/chapters/Tutorial8.md but I imagine I don't understand someting… So, some help would be welcome!

<blockcode>
model.jsonModel = {
  services: [
   "alfresco/services/CrudService",
   "alfresco/services/DialogService",
  ],
  widgets: [
   {
      name: "alfresco/buttons/AlfButton",
      config:{
         label:" Show groups",
         publishTopic: "ALF_CREATE_DIALOG_REQUEST",
         publishPayload: {
            dialogTitle: "Groups",
            widgetsContents:[
               {
                  name: "alfresco/lists/AlfList",
                  waitForPageWidgets: false,
                  loadDataPublishTopic: "ALF_CRUD_GET_ALL",
                  loadDataPublishPayload: {
                     url: "api/groups"
                  },
                  config:{
                     widgets:[{
                        name: "alfresco/lists/views/AlfList",
                        config:{
                           widgets:[{
                              name:"alfresco/lists/views/AlfListView",
                              config:{
                                 widgets:[{
                                    name: "alfresco/lists/views/layouts/Row",
                                    config:{
                                       widgets:[{
                                          name:"alfresco/lists/views/layouts/Cell",
                                          config:{
                                             widgets:[{
                                                name: "alfresco/renderers/Property",
                                                config:{
                                                   propertyToRender: "displayName"
                                                }
                                             }]
                                          }
                                       }]
                                    }
                                 }]
                              }
                           }]
                           
                        }
                     }]
                  }
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   }
  ]
};

any idea?
(Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, Aikau 1.0.8.1)

In my example, I have some mistakes :
I wrote "widgetsContents", but the good attribute is "widgetsContent" (http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/aikau-jsdoc/DialogService.html)
I forgot the itemsProperty which has to be near name: "alfresco/lists/AlfList".

I tested to add the last version of aikau (the 1.0.31) in my project (path : project>/target/conteneurs-share-war/WEB-INF/lib) and done a command "mvn install -Pamp-to-war -DskipTests=true" but nothing changed…

It looks like you've got an AlfList immeidately inside another AlfList - that's not going to work. Also, as you've also pointed out you need to set the "itemsProperty" because the REST API you've called uses the attribute "data" and not "items" (which is the default) to reference the array of groups.

I succeed resolve my problem

This part would be in the "config" and not before!!
<blockcode>
waitForPageWidgets: false,
loadDataPublishTopic: "ALF_CRUD_GET_ALL",
loadDataPublishPayload: {
   url: "api/groups"
},
itemsProperty: "data",
</blockcode>

There is the good code (with some changes due to my tests)

<blockcode>
var liste = {
   name: "alfresco/lists/AlfList",
   config:{
      waitForPageWidgets: false,
      loadDataPublishTopic: "ALF_CRUD_GET_ALL",
      loadDataPublishPayload: {
         url: "api/groups"
      },
      itemsProperty: "data",
      widgets:[{
         name:"alfresco/lists/views/AlfListView",
         config:{
            widgets:[{
               name: "alfresco/lists/views/layouts/Row",
               config:{
                  widgets:[{
                     name:"alfresco/lists/views/layouts/Cell",
                     config:{
                        widgets:[{
                           name: "alfresco/renderers/Property",
                           config:{
                              propertyToRender: "displayName"
                           }
                        }]
                     }
                  }]
               }
            }]
         }
      }]
   }
};

var button = {
      name: "alfresco/buttons/AlfButton",
      config:{
         label:" Show groups",
         publishTopic: "ALF_CREATE_DIALOG_REQUEST",
         publishPayload: {
            dialogTitle: "Groups",
            widgetsContent:[
               liste
            ]
         }
      }
   };


model.jsonModel = {
  services: [
   "alfresco/services/CrudService",
   "alfresco/services/DialogService",
  ],
  widgets: [
   button
  ]
};
</blockcode>
