checkbox Action

[dvezina]

Hi,

I'm using a checkbox form control in my CSS. I want to launch an action when this is clicked.

Code: Select all

 oxy_editor(

type, check, 

edit, "@ready", 

values, "true", 

uncheckedValues, "false", 

labels, "")

My first thought was to catch the attribute change in the DocumentModificationsFilter setAttribute() method but I can't seem to get at AuthorAccess there.

Code: Select all

@Override

    public void setAttribute(AuthorDocumentFilterBypass filterBypass, String attributeName, AttrValue value, AuthorElement element) {



	if (attributeName.equals("ready")) {

		// If value is true call Helpers.updateMetadata(authorAccess);

		

	}

	super.setAttribute(filterBypass, attributeName, value, element);

Is this the correct approach? If so, how do I pass AuthorAccess to my filter? If this is not the correct approach, please advise.

Thanks

Hello,

Using an ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentFilter to catch the event was also my first thought! It's true that its methods don't receive an AuthorAccess instance, but such a filter it's usually created and set in a context where an AuthorAccess is available. For example on a ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorExtensionStateListener. So you could give an AuthorAccess on the constructor of the document filter:

Code: Select all

/**

 * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorExtensionStateListener#activated(ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorAccess)

 */

public void activated(AuthorAccess authorAccess) {

  AuthorDocumentController documentController = authorAccess.getDocumentController();

  documentController.setDocumentFilter(new AuthorDocumentFilter(authorAccess));

}

Please let me know if this works for you or we should look for another solution.

Best regards,
Alex
