Beautiful WebForms¶
Improved SmartUI compatibility for widgets.¶
- ItemReference Popup: now supports SmartUI variant for selection popup and contextual menu.
Smart Pages¶
"CSSmartMenu" has become "CSSmartView"¶
CSSmartMenu, the folder within the Content Script volume that allowed you to manage menu extensions for SmartView browsing views, has been renamed to CSSmartView. This change reflects the fact that, as of this release, it will allow to control numerous new customizations to various SmartView features, and not only limited to the menus.
-
CSSmartView:Columns: it's now possible to add/remove columns from/to browsing views using Content Scripts stored in the aforementioned folder. E.g.
//In the execution context of this script: // - nodesColumns ( a map that associates nodes' ids with their columns definitions). Tipically contains a single entry // - nodes: the list of nodes records. Tipically contains a single item. // - req: the original REST request record // - envelope: the current REST API call envelope nodesColumns[3156087]?.add([type:43200, data_type:43200, name:"Add. Information", sort_key:"type", key:"_am_info"]) //Must return the revised nodeColumns return nodesColumns
-
CSSmartView:Actions: it's now possible to add custom actions to a node's menu lazy loaded set of actions . E.g.
/** This script receives the following variables in the execution context: - actions: a map that associates the node id to the list of available actions E.g. "12345": { "data": { "Classify": { "content_type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "method": "POST", "name": "Add RM Classification", "href": "/api/v2/nodes/2891606/rmclassifications", "body": "{\"displayPrompt\":false,\"enabled\":false,\"inheritfrom\":false,\"managed\":false}", "form_href": "" }, "initiatedocumentworkflow": { "content_type": "", "method": "", "name": "", "href": "", "body": "initiate_in_smartview", "form_href": "", "wfList": [ ] }, "zipanddownload": { "content_type": "", "method": "POST", "name": "Zip and Download", "href": "/api/v2/zipanddownload", "body": "", "form_href": "" }, "RemoveClassification": { "content_type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "method": "POST", "name": "Remove Classificfation", "href": "/api/v2/nodes/2891606/rmclassifications", "body": "", "form_href": "" } }, "map": { "default_action": "open" }, "order": [ "initiatedocumentworkflow", "Classify", "RemoveClassification", "zipanddownload" ] } } - req: the current HTTP request - envelope: the REST API request's envelope By changing the support variable "actions" you can make visible actions defined by scripts in CSVolume:CSSmartView:Commands **/ actions[3156106].data["am_release"] = [ body:"am_release" ] actions[3156106].order.add("3156106")
-
CSSmartView:Commands: it's now possible to define multiple commands in the same script and group them in the same sub-menu. E.g.
//Commands scripts can now return a list return [ [ am:[ exec:[ mode:"group"// (1) This command will act as our flyout ] ] ,scope: "multiple" ,group: "info" ,flyout: "am_group" // (2) This command will act as our flyout ,baricon: null ,icon: null ,name: "Try Module Suite" ,command_key: "am_group" ,signature: "am_group" ], [ am:[ confirmation:[ required:false, title:"", message:"" ], panel:[ width:40, cssClass:"", slides:[ [ title:"", script:null ] ] ], key:[ code: 83 ,message:"" ,nogui:false ], exec:[ mode:"script" ,script: 2644067 ,params:[ ] ,refresh_on_success:true ,on_success_action:"" ,newtab:false ,url:"" ] ] ,baricon: null ,icon: null ,name: "Content Script" ,command_key: "am_content_script" ,signature: "am_content_script" ,scope: "multiple" ,flyout:"am_group" ,selfBlockOnly: false ] ... ]
- CSSmartView:Commands: Content Script scripts executed as commands can now return execution information to the caller. E.g.
//Script code... //Once done...notify caller json([message:[type:'success', text:"Get the Module Suite. You won't need anything else.", details:"The Module Suite is a comprehensive framework of highly innovative solutions dedicated to OpenText™ Content Server, and includes all the tools you will need to extend, customize, and enrich your Content Server experience."]])
- CSSmartView:Override: It is now also possible to enhance the information associated with nodes with column information injected via Module Suite.
E.g.
def drawStatusBar = { node -> def statusList = ['Draft', 'Under Revision', 'Approved', 'Published'] def numSteps = statusList.size() def currStep = new Random().nextInt(statusList.size()) def currStepName = node.name def stepStyle = "height:100%; width:calc(100% / ${numSteps}); float:left; background-color:#F0AD4E; box-sizing:border-box;" def stepsHtml = "" (currStep + 1).times{ stepsHtml += """<span style="${stepStyle}"></span>""" } return """ <div style="text-align:center; font-size:.75em">${currStepName}</div> <div style="margin:3px 0; padding:0; height:5px; background-color:#eee;">${stepsHtml}</div>""".toString() } retVal = nodes.collect{ [ ("D${it.dataid}" as String):[ //The object returned MUST be made of simple types (no GString allowed) commands:["am_group", "am_bwf"], columns:[ // Column defined in CSSmartView:Columns as nodesColumns[3156087]?.add([type:43200, data_type:43200, name:"Add. Information", sort_key:"type", key:"_am_info"]) // columns of type 43200 can be used to inject HTML _am_info:drawStatusBar(it) ] ] ] } return retVal
Global revision of Smart Pages widgets¶
- Smart Pages widgets have been reviewed in terms of both styling and structure.
- Smart Pages CSS is now better isolated from Beautiful WebForms CSS. The base CSS class for Smart Pages has been changed from "am-smartui" to "am-smartpage". The "am-smartui" class is now reserved for Beautiful WebForms. NOTE: This may cause breaking changes in custom rules and page templates based on the legacy class.
New Smart Pages widgets¶
The following widgets have been added to the Smart Pages Editor, and can now be used to build Smart Pages:
- Button Container: a container-type widget meant to hold regular buttons. Can be configured to display as a button-group.
-
Link Button: a button widget that will open a configured url.
-
Step indicator: a widget to display a process status and execution details.
Added support for flexbox on Smart Pages used as Smart View tiles.¶
Add the CSS helper class "am-page-container-flex" as a custom class within the Smart View Tile configuration to enable flex support on Layout containers and panels within the included Smart Page. This will allow to create tiles that better occupy all the available vertical space.
Revised Tree Widget¶
Tree Widget has been revised and enhanced with new functionalities.
- It is now possible to enable the standard Smart UI function menu on tree nodes.
- It is now easier to bind tree nodes to Smart UI actions.
- Helper CSS classes have been added to support adding extra columns to the tree nodes.
- Default tree look & feel is now more similar to Smart UI style.
