Need a Aikau form control Site Picker, but filtered for the "site preset" property

Hi all, I need help customizing the default SitePicker.js of the Aikau library to show only the choice only to sites with a specific "site preset".

The process is i select a site type from the standard "Create Site" dialog:
10947_SiteServiceCustomization1

When select the "Custom Preset" i show my custom form dialog:

site%20hierarchy%20-%20create%20site

Now i click on the button "Parent Site" a classical "SitePicker" form control of Aikau, but i need to show only site with a specific "site preset".

I based my example on the "site-hierarchy addon" :

https://github.com/Acosix/alfresco-site-hierarchy/blob/master/share/src/main/site-webscripts/de/acos... 

And i need to make a customized version of the :

https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/develop/aikau/src/main/resources/alfresco/forms/controls/Site... 

For filter by "site preset".

Can anyone help with this or link me to some similar example ?

That's really not trivial. You would have to

  • Create a customisation of the alfresco/services/SiteService which provides a pubSub topic via which sites can be queried / loaded using the site preset - by default, it only supports all sites, favorite or recent sites
  • Create a customisation of alfresco/pickers/SitePicker which includes a section to load sites like the "allSites" option but with a publish payload to specify the preset to the customised SiteService
  • Create a customisation of alfresco/forms/controls/SitePicker which uses your customised, non-form SitePicker instead of the default
  • Use your customised form SitePicker in the Create Site dialog

Note: I am the original author of the site hierarchy addon

Hi afaust, It must be me who don't know aikau well yet, but I still can't get what I want.

Here main resource file structure:

Here the attachment of the files:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WEm73VpeZBq98kcAbDc83LAEPN1vIJnX?usp=sharing

I'm lost on the 3rd point of the list:

"Create a customisation of alfresco/forms/controls/SitePicker which uses your customised, non-form SitePicker instead of the default"

i don't get how can i connect the code i made on the " alfresco/forms/controls/SitePresetPicker":

 

{
                     name: "alfresco/menus/AlfMenuBarItem",
                     config: {
                        label: "picker.allSites.label",
                        publishTopic: "ALF_ADD_PICKER",
                        publishPayload: {
                           currentPickerDepth: 0,
                           pickerLabel: "SitesPreset",
                           picker: [
                              {
                                 name: "alfresco/lists/AlfSortablePaginatedList",
                                 config: {
                                    noDataMessage: "sitePicker.list.noSitesFound",
                                    dataFailureMessage: "sitePicker.list.errorLoadingSites",
                                    itemsProperty: "",
                                    loadDataPublishTopic: "ALF_GET_SITES_BY_SITE_PRESET",
                                    waitForPageWidgets: false,
                                    widgets: [sitesView]
                                 }
                              }
                           ]
                        }
                     }
                  }

with method i made on "alfresco/services/SitePresetService"

 

 

      getSitesBySitePreset: function alfresco_services_SitePresetService__getSites(payload) {
         // TODO: Clean this up. Choose on or other as the Aikau standard.
         var alfResponseTopic = payload.alfResponseTopic || payload.responseTopic;
         var config = {
            url: AlfConstants.PROXY_URI + "api/sites", // I'll do something here eventually
            method: "GET",
            alfTopic: alfResponseTopic
         };
         this.serviceXhr(config);
      },

for clarification here the code of my share custom configuration.

 

                <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="WebFramework" replace="false">
                    <web-framework>
                        <dojo-pages>
                            <packages>
                                <package name="sitepresetservice" location="resources/service-site-hierarchy/aikau/alfresco/services/SitePresetService.js"/>
                                <package name="sitepresetpicker" location="resources/service-site-hierarchy/aikau/alfresco/pickers/SitePresetPicker.js"/>
                                <package name="sitepresetformcontrolpicker" location="resources/service-site-hierarchy/aikau/alfresco/forms/controls/SitePresetPicker.js"/>
                            </packages>
                        </dojo-pages>
                    </web-framework>
                </config>

Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is something that I have to solve at all costs. I'm willing ot pay a small bounty for this.

Re: Need a Aikau form control Site Picker, but filtered for the "site preset" property

In your site service you must have mapped the new "getSitesBySitePreset" function to a pubsub topic, similar to how all the default functions are mapped/registered. That topic is the connection - a widget publishes to that topic to trigger the request, and the site service actually publishes to a similar response topic (original topic with an added suffix) to send back the results (handled transparently by "serviceXhr" in your case)

.

Re: Need a Aikau form control Site Picker, but filtered for the "site preset" property

Ty again, i have already do that on the service file:

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1MVl6w-et7C9GLxoNE90qrkAIVjH0lWrP

 

this.alfSubscribe("ALF_GET_SITES_BY_SITE_PRESET", lang.hitch(this, this.getSitesBySitePreset));

it's must be something else i'm not seeing or some dojo config i screwed up.

Like i said i'm willing to pay for a use case example on github, because I admit I'm completely lost.

If it helps you in your answers I am trying to add the following customizations to your "site-hierarchy" addon used as a starting point:

A site selector limited to sites of a specific type.

Show or hide elements of the site creation or display form depending on which value has been selected in the "type site" dropdown.

Ty for your help.

Re: Need a Aikau form control Site Picker, but filtered for the "site preset" property

Ok maybe i find the problem i need to make a override of the site service:

 

var siteService = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "SITE_SERVICE");

 

so on the file "share-header.get.js" i add this code:

//Change SiteService to Customized Module
widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "SITE_SERVICE").name = "alfresco/services/SitePresetService”;
make sense ?
