Content Navigator 3.0.x Plugin on Content Manager OnDemand - Extending ecm.widget.search.SearchTab

  • 1.  Content Navigator 3.0.x Plugin on Content Manager OnDemand - Extending ecm.widget.search.SearchTab

    Posted Tue October 31, 2023 06:41 AM

    Hello beautiful people,

    I am trying to extend the ecm.widget.search.SearchTab with my own SearchTabCustom widget/feature.
    Currently I am unable to get it to use my custom widget, since the list of searches still pointing to ecm.widget.search.SearchTab

    Perhaps I dont understand how to extend it properly - way I have done it is to create my own feature of the ecm.widget.search.SearchPane and all the corresponding javascripts / html needed to extend ecm.widget.search.SearchTab.

    Anyway, I have the feeling I am extending the feature wrong - so my next question would be:

    How do I extend / modify the function "_search" under ecm.widget.search.SearchTab.js

    Hi Nanda, thanks for you reply!

    Yes that actually helped a bit, so what I am trying to do is to extend the function _search in ecm/widget/search/SearchTab.js

    So, I have extended the ecm/widget/layout/SearchPane.js

    Now I am trying to extend the ecm/widget/search/SearchTabContainer.js complaining about some missing dojo style

    My SearchPaneCustom.html looks like the following

    <div class="ecmCenterPane">
  <span>hei på deg</span>
  <button>dette er min knapp</button>
  <div data-dojo-attach-point="borderContainer" data-dojo-type="idx.layout.BorderContainer" class="contentPane" gutters="false" design="sidebar">
    <div data-dojo-type="dijit.layout.ContentPane" data-dojo-attach-point="searchSelectionPane" region="leading" class="leadingPane" splitter="true">
      <div data-dojo-attach-point="searchSelectionArea" class="navContainer" data-dojo-type="dijit.layout.BorderContainer" gutters="false">
        <div data-dojo-attach-point="repositorySelectorArea" class="navContainerTopBar" data-dojo-type="dijit.layout.ContentPane" region="top"></div>
        <div data-dojo-attach-point="searchSelectorArea" class="navContainerBottomBar" data-dojo-type="dijit.layout.ContentPane" region="center"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div data-dojo-attach-point="searchTabContainer" data-dojo-type="features.search.SearchTabContainerCustom" region="center" class="contentPane"></div>

  </div>
</div>

    Then my features/search/SearchTabContainerCustom.js looks like this

    define([
    "dojo/_base/declare",
    "ecm/widget/search/SearchTabContainer"
], function(declare, SearchTabContainer) {

    /**
     * @name ecm.widget.search.SearchTabContainer
     * @class Provides a widget that contains and controls the search tabs that are open.
     * @augments ecm.widget.layout._TabContainerBase
     */
    return declare("features.search.SearchTabContainerCustom", SearchTabContainer, {
        controllerWidget: "ecm.widget.search.SearchTabController"
    });
});

    It just to make sure I dont break anything before continuing.

    Is this correct?

    Again, my goal is to change the function _search inside ecm/widget/search/SearchTab.js

    Hi Nanda,

    Right now things seems ok actually in regards of loading the SearchTabController - I think I get what is expected, I get the search tabs etc because I am just extending the ecm/widget/search/SearchTabContainer from features.search.SearchTabContainerCustom which is called from SearchPane.html

    So now I dont know where to continue.

    What I want to do now is to do something when user click on the Search button in the Search Criteria View. Search button marked in green.

    Is it possible to call the _search function of ecm/widget/search/SearchTab.js inside  features.search.SearchTabContainerCustom or do I have to extend more widgets like ecm/widget/search/SearchTabController.js? 

    Dont mind the looking weird looking "Recent Search" section - I have removed the information in the picture.
