InsertConrefOperation on specific location

[hutz]

Hello,

Can I pass an argument to ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.conref.InsertConrefOperation in my DITA Map framework to open the wizard with a specific reuse file as "Location"?

Thanks!
François

Hi François,

You can create your own AuthorOperation custom Java operation which calls directly this static method from the ro.sync.ecss.dita.DITAAccess class:

Code: Select all

  /**

   * Shows a dialog that allows inserting a content reference (conref).

   * 

   * @param authorAccess The Author access.

   * @param initialReferenceURL The default URL that will be displayed in the URL

   * field of the insert reference dialog. 

   * <br>

   * <b>Note: </b> this parameter is not used on Eclipse plugin implementation.

   * @param displayReferenceUrl If <code>true</code> the URL input will be 

   * displayed in the insert reference dialog (the user will have the possibility 

   * to change the reference URL).

   * This parameter can be set to <code>false</code> when an initialReferenceURL

   * is provided, and the user must not have the possibility to change it 

   * (the reference URL must be fixed). 

   * <br>

   * <b>Note: </b> this parameter is not used on Eclipse plugin implementation.

   * 

   * @throws AuthorOperationException

   *  

   * @since 14.2

   */

  public static void insertContentReference(

      final AuthorAccess authorAccess, 

      URL initialReferenceURL, 

      boolean displayReferenceUrl)

Hi,

Or you can create an Author action based on the predefined JSOperation which invokes a script looking something like this:

Code: Select all

function doOperation(){

 Packages.ro.sync.ecss.dita.DITAAccess.insertContentReference(authorAccess, new Packages.java.net.URL("http://www.google.com"), true);

}

Wonderful. I am going with the JS operation one as I have avoided actual Java until now.

Thanks!

Hello,

The following snippet works fine as the value of the arg-script parameter for the JSOperation in my .less file:

Code: Select all

oxy_concat(

    'function doOperation(){ var url = Packages.ro.sync.ecss.dita.DITAAccess.insertContentReference(authorAccess, new Packages.java.net.URL("',

        "${pdu}/reuse/", oxy_xpath("//map/@xml:lang"), "/customConrefFile.dita",

        '")',

    ', true)}'

    )

I would like to define the action in the .framework file directly (from the UI), but it seems it doesn't recognize oxy_xpath or oxy_concat ("Could not evaluate script: ReferenceError: "oxy_xpath" is not defined).
I've seen JSOperation-s that embarked oxy_ functions I think, so I must be wrong somewhere.

Current workaround would be to multiply the actions for language (with //map/@xml:lang = 'en',' fr', 'de' etc. as Activation XPath) but not too dynamic.

Thanks,
François

Hi François,

Inside a JSOperation you can call all the Java-based API we have available. For example we have API which allows you to find nodes based on a certain XPath expression:

https://github.com/oxygenxml/javascript ... keyrefs.js

So even in your original CSS code you did not need to concat the strings so that you could use the CSS oxy_xpath function, you could have searched for the nodes based on XPath directly in the JSOperation code.

Thanks Radu. Time to dig the Java API for good

Edit: much better now!
