Hello Everyone,

I was recently asked to look into the possibility of adding some functions to a OpenText CS10 site.

I'm having trouble finding material to start the learning process. Seems like most of the information is regarding LiveLink 9.x.

My question, if you could guide me on where to go.

The requests are the following:
1- Create a button to send selected DocIDs to an external Page (aspx wich is not a problem)
2 - Copy a folder to multiple personal workspaces of users of a security group.

What's making this hard is not to know wich of the tools to learn.
Is this achievable with the user tools (workflow), WebLingo, Modules?

I hope you more experienced can help.

Kind Regards,
Tiago Vilhena

An OScript module would probably be the best way to do all of this, you would need to learn OScript to do this. Most of the information you will have read about 9.7.1 will be valid for CS10 as well for the most part.

1. I assume you mean a multi select button like move, copy etc that appear at the top of the browse page. You should do this with an OScript module, but could do it via a WebLingo customisation as well.

2. You would need to add a WebNodeCmd to give you the options to select the security group and then run the copy, assuming that the user doing the copy has permissions to do the copy into other users personal workspaces.

Hello Greg,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I've tried following the Builder Module Tutorial on the Builder Documentation, but for some reason it doesn't show up on the installable Modules. Even following it step by step.

Anyway,

I meant a multi-select button, that would behave like the "copy/move" but instead would send it to another page. When you say Weblingo Customisation what do you mean? Can you point me in the right learning direction?

Regarding the 2nd question is this possible to achieve via workflow?

Kind Regards,
Tiago

Look in this thread for the playing module "addressbook

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1673528

I have put it in my personal workspace at the OT KB.
I can put a copy at communities a self registering site
if you have no access to the KB
The module walks you thru the general architcture of oscript
and livelink.Whatever new name OT gives livelink is still based
in oscript and the old tricks are still valid.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

I do have access to the OT KB, and am reading a lot there. Shame it is so disorganized.

I will look at what you sent me and get back to you with doubts.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind Regards,
Tiago

Ok Greg,

Now that I've read much more on CS10 and Livelink I can be more specific on my questions.

1 - How do I get [LL_WFATTURL /] to work on a Form. So that I can get the user to select a folder. I will then work on the HTML to submit that info.

2 - If I can't use it without a workflow, how can I send the information gathered on that form to an aspx or asmx file?

I know this is probably not the best way to do it, but with my current knowlege I think it will temporarily do the trick until I go on the scheduled OT training.

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards,
Tiago

[LL_WFATTURL /] is a Workflow Attribute, so will only work within a Workflow, but you could do something like :

<script>
var wfURL = `[LL_WFATTURL /]`;
</script>

If you want to get the fields, you should be able to use Javascript to gather all the fields for an AJAX call or similar.

So,

My next question would be, how can I have the "explorer" style folder/document component (like the one WFATTURL shows) on a static form. so that I can then submit it to another "page".

or

If I do have to use a workflow, how to submit all the fields information (selected node ID's and Text: Table Key Lookup) to a webservice that I would create.

Tiago
