Hi,The response may be a delayed and hopefully will help you + someone in the future also.In Alfresco 4.1.X, we extended the existing client javascript(YUI Based) to override few methods in the object-finder.js.We placed the new javascript file in the components\object-finder\ directory and used Alfresco Module Deploy option to inject the new javascript in the runtime.Here is the detailed explanation.We wanted to change a bit of "_generatePickerChildrenUrlParams" method in the object-finder.js file.We created a new javascript, with the name of "object-finder-extended.js" file and placed the components\object-finder\ director.While extending the existing method, you've to use "prototype" keyword and don't use ":" as mentioned below.
Alfresco.ObjectRenderer.prototype._generatePickerChildrenUrlParams = function …..(){}
We added the current site-id in the request…. siteId = Alfresco.constants.SITE;
var $html = Alfresco.util.encodeHTML,
$hasEventInterest = Alfresco.util.hasEventInterest,
$combine = Alfresco.util.combinePaths;
Alfresco.ObjectRenderer.prototype._generatePickerChildrenUrlParams = function ObjectRenderer__generatePickerChildrenUrlParams(searchTerm)
{
try
{
//Basically we wanted to sent the current site name to the repository.
siteId = Alfresco.constants.SITE;
//If the user is not in the Site context, read the value from the workflow hidden variable
if (siteId =="")
siteId = Dom.get('workflow_siteId').value;
}
catch(err)
{
//Don't do anything. If the object finder does not find anything, picker control will throw exception.
}
//site param is added. This is used to control group search in group review workflow
var params = "?selectableType=" + this.options.itemType + "&searchTerm=" + encodeURIComponent(searchTerm) +
"&size=" + this.options.maxSearchResults+"&siteId="+siteId;
// if an XPath start location has been provided and it has not been resolved
// yet, pass it to the pickerchildren script as a parameter
if (!this.startLocationResolved && this.options.startLocation &&
this.options.startLocation.charAt(0) == "/")
{
params += "&xpath=" + encodeURIComponent(this.options.startLocation);
}
// has a rootNode been specified?
if (this.options.rootNode)
{
var rootNode = null;
if (this.options.rootNode.charAt(0) == "{")
{
if (this.options.rootNode == "{companyhome}")
{
rootNode = "alfresco://company/home";
}
else if (this.options.rootNode == "{userhome}")
{
rootNode = "alfresco://user/home";
}
else if (this.options.rootNode == "{siteshome}")
{
rootNode = "alfresco://sites/home";
}
}
else
{
// rootNode is either an xPath expression or a nodeRef
rootNode = this.options.rootNode;
}
if (rootNode !== null)
{
params += "&rootNode=" + encodeURIComponent(rootNode);
}
}
if (this.options.params)
{
params += "&" + encodeURI(this.options.params);
}
return params;
}
