Change the folder icon based on the value of item attribute - Contentlist Grid

  • 1.  Change the folder icon based on the value of item attribute - Contentlist Grid

    Posted Mon November 09, 2020 06:19 PM
    I need to change the folder icon based on the value of item attribute,. For example, currently when sync is enabled ICN automatically changes the icon to use ftFolderSyncedIcon class. SImilarly, i need to show different icons based on the value of our custom property available in the Item.

    Hi,

    Custom property is not retrieved by default when the content list is displayed. You may configure the repository, go to the Browse tab, and add the custom property to the Selected Properties, with the two checkboxes for Details View and Magazine View checked.

    Then you may override the ecm.model.Item.getMimeClass() function to set the icon class per your custom property value.

    Item.prototype.getMimeClass = function() { var mimeType = this.mimetype || ""; var iconClass; if (this.isFolder()) { ... if (this.attributes["EmailSubject"] != null) { // <<<<<< a custom property iconClass = "ftFolderSyncedIcon"; }

    If you want to hide the custom property column on the content list, you may override ecm.widget.listView.ContentList._createGrid() function, and set your custom property as a hidden column.

    require([... "dojo/dom-construct", // "dojo/sniff", // "gridx/Grid", // "ecm/widget/listView/gridModules/Async", // "ecm/widget/ListViewPaginationBar", // "gridx/modules/HiddenColumns", // "ecm/widget/listView/ContentList", // "ecm/model/Item", // ... ContentList.prototype._createGrid = function() { ... this.store = this._resultSet.getStore(); var modules = this._getModules(); modules.push(HiddenColumns); // add module to hide columns this.grid = new Grid({ cacheClass: Cache, pageSize: this._resultSet.pageSize, store: this.store, structure: structure, selectRowTriggerOnCell: !has("ecmMobile") && !this._allowCheckboxes, modules: modules, textDir: has("text-direction"), headerHidden: this.headerHidden, contentList: this, barBottom: this._isShowPaginationBar() ? [ListViewPaginationBar] : null }); this.grid.hiddenColumns.add("8"); // <<<<<< column id of the custom property ...

    Thanks Angie. ecm.model.Item.getMimeClass() should be written inside the Customplugin.js file? Also, object valued custom property is not listed in the Browse tab while configuring the properties to be displayed in Content List grid.

    Hi,

    Yes, the function can be written inside the Customplugin.js file.

    In my testings, the custom property of Object type are listed in the Browse tab of Repository configuration. What is your ICN version?

    Regards,

    Hi,

    You may also use a response filter in your custom plugin to set additional attribute when the content items are listed. The additional attribute can be a property or a dynamic value such as the icon class. Refer to the SamplePluginResponseFilter.

    I can see the object valued property after adding the property both at the folder and document class. Currently, I am not able to access the attributes/properties of the object valued property in JavaScript below code. In this case, I am trying to get the name of the customer from object valued property objCustomerInfo.


    if (this.attributes["objCustomerInfo.name"] != null) { // <<<<<< a custom property

    iconClass = "ftFolderSyncedIcon";

    }

    Hi,

    You may call retrieveItem() function of ecm.model.Repository in your JS code to get the properties of the object.

    See ICN javascript API https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEUEX_3.0.8/com.ibm.developingeuc.doc/doc/JavaScriptdoc/symbols/ecm.model.Repository.html .

    Will it have performance impact if we have a make a round trip to the server to get the object valued property for each folder. right?

    Hi,

    There will be performance impact if item retrieval is done for each folder in JS code.

    It would be better to use the mentioned response filter in your custom plugin. Refer to the SamplePluginResponseFilter. Here is an example, which returns the name property of custom objects when folder is opened, and sets icon class per the added property.

    SamplePluginResponseFilter.java ->

    import com.filenet.api.core.IndependentlyPersistableObject; import com.filenet.api.property.Properties; import com.filenet.api.property.Property; import com.ibm.ecm.util.p8.P8Connection; import com.ibm.ecm.util.p8.P8Util; ... public void filter(String serverType, PluginServiceCallbacks callbacks, HttpServletRequest request, JSONObject jsonResponse) throws Exception { ... customColumn = new JSONResultSetColumn("ObjectName", "50px", "ObjectName", null, true); jsonResultSetResponse.addColumn(customColumn); String repositoryId = request.getParameter("repositoryId"); P8Connection connection = P8Util.getConnection(request, repositoryId); for (int i = 0; i < jsonResultSetResponse.getRowCount(); i++) { JSONResultSetRow row = jsonResultSetResponse.getRow(i); if (row.getMimetype().equals("folder")) { // retrieve the object String docid = (String) row.getAttributeValue("NPSOVP2DO"); if (connection != null && docid != null) { IndependentlyPersistableObject objItem = P8Util.getPersistableObject(request, connection, docid); Properties props = objItem.getProperties(); Property prop = props.get("Name"); // object property row.addAttribute("ObjectName", prop.getStringValue(), JSONResultSetRow.TYPE_STRING, null, null); } } }

    SamplePlugin.js ->

    if (this.attributes["ObjectName"] != null) { iconClass = "ftFolderSyncedIcon"; }

    Thanks Angie. After I override the getMimeClass then how do I call getMimeType class of actual ICN's function if I need to in some cases.


    Item.prototype.getMimeClass = function() {

    var mimeType = this.mimetype || "";

    Hi,

    You cannot call the actual ICN's function after it is overridden. So you need to copy the whole function from ICN and revise it per your need.

    Yes, we can use response filter. I didn't go with response filter due to performance reasons as making a round trip to CE for getting the properties of custom object for each row will be expensive,.
