javascript prompt

[xerox]

I'm trying to do an alert or promp in alfresco with javascript, but this isn't working.
Isn't this possible in Alfresco?

Hi Nick

Apologies - didn't see you tacked a new question onto that topic!

A "hasPermission" method was added to v1.4.3 - I'm not sure exactly which version you're on?

You should be able to do:

<#if hasPermission(TemplateNode node, String permission) == 1>
… show the link …
</#if>‍‍‍

"permission" would be either "Write" or "AddChildren" depending on your configuration.

<#if hasPermission(space, "Write") == 1>
… show the link …
</#if>‍‍‍

Mike

Hi Mike

really thx…
it works…

A last question

In my javascript I check if the spacename exists or not…

If the spacename already exists, The space may nog be created(duplicated names).
I did this,but I want to show the user a message that the space wasn't created because it already exists…(an alert isn't working because it's on server side)

Is this possible?

friendly regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

I guess there are two ways:

1/ Where you return the HTML "<script>history.back();</script>" at the end of the server-side script, you can optionally add an alert() in there, i.e.

<script>alert('Duplicate space name found'); history.back();</script>‍

or
2/ Have the Freemarker template walk the child spaces and send an array of strings to do a client-side Javascript check in the createNewProject() function - so the duplicate name isn't allowed to be submitted.

I suspect #1 will be easier, although #2 might give a better user experience.

Thanks for this post - it was very helpful to me in creating a scripted action with confirmation prompt and alerts.  It would be nicer if there was a way to do this on the server side but I assume that requires adding Java/JSP code.
