CSS control to open profiling dialog!

[mu258770]

Hi team,

We are using Oxygen Eclipse 23.1 and Web Author 23.0. We would like to know whether it would it be technically feasible to have a button in the Oxygen Author CSS that would open the "Edit Profiling Attributes" dialog and allow to define the conditional attributes? Currently the "Edit Profiling Attributes" option is used as a context menu item, but we need to provide this new option as well.

Regards.

Hello,

The "Edit Profiling Attributes" action cannot be used from Oxygen XML Web Author at the moment.
I've added your +1 to an existing feature request and we will update this forum post when it will be available.

Meanwhile you can implement your own "Edit Profiling Attributes" action in a plugin [1] and you can add a button in the document that will invoke it. Here's how:

1. Implement a javascript action [2] that shows a dialog [3] where you will present the profiling attributes for an element & when the user submits their choice you can invoke "ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.ChangeAttributesOperation" to change the attribute values.
2. Add an oxy_button [4] in your CSS, the button should invoke the action you created at step 1.
3. Force the oxy_button to be shown only in Web Author [5].

Best,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for the update.

Is it possible in Eclipse Oxygen 23.0? That is is would it be technically feasible to have a button in the Oxygen Eclipse Author CSS that would open the "Edit Profiling Attributes" dialog and allow to define the conditional attributes

Hi Shabeer,

Yes, it can be done. You can do it with a JSOperation that invokes our Java-based API. Here's how I did it:
1. In the framework directory I've created a commons.js file and I've put this function in it:

Code: Select all

function editAttributes() {
    var allActions = authorAccess.getEditorAccess().getActionsProvider().getAuthorCommonActions();
    var action = allActions.get("Author/Edit_Profiling_Attributes");
    
	if (typeof action.actionPerformed === "function") {
		action.actionPerformed(null);
	} else if (typeof action.run === "function") {
		action.run();
	}
}

2. In one of the framework CSSs I've added a button form control that invokes the previously defined function, like this:

Code: Select all

*[class~='topic/p']:after {
  content: oxy_action(
          name, 'Edit profiling attributes', 
          operation, 'JSOperation', 
          arg-script, 'function doOperation() { editAttributes();}'
		) 
}

Best regards,
Alex
