Disable opening of conrefs when page is not editable

[dvezina]

Hello,

I have a page that is not editable.
authorPage.setEditable(false);

If the DITA document contains conrefs, the user is able to open them. I want to disable the link - preferably without changing the style sheet and preferably through the plugin (not ExtensionBundle).

Ideas?

Thanks,
D

Hi Deanna,

There is also a contextual menu action for editing the referenced content which you can remove by setting a popup menu customizer

Code: Select all

WSAuthorEditorPageBase.addPopUpMenuCustomizer(AuthorPopupMenuCustomizer)

.

Going back to your problem, after you load the XML and call authorPage.setEditable(false); you could also set a pseudo class on the root element like:

Code: Select all

authorPage.getDocumentController().setPseudoClass("read-only", authorPage.getDocumentController().getAuthorDocumentNode().getRootElement());

Then we need to somehow change the rendering of the reference based on this pseudo style.

You would need a custom CSS content like:

Code: Select all

@namespace oxy "http://www.oxygenxml.com/extensions/author";



:root:read-only oxy|reference:before {

  content: "" !important;  

}

If you want to provide it via a plugin you could add a custom URI resolver:

Code: Select all

ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.util.XMLUtilAccess.addPriorityURIResolver(URIResolver)

and when you receive a callback for an input source which has the URI "http://www.oxygenxml.com/extensions/aut ... Custom.css"

try to resolve it to a source which has an URL pointing to a CSS resource with the content I suggested above from the plugin folder.

In Oxygen 17.1 you will be able to contribute directly a custom CSS via a special plugin extension type.

Radu
