Action separators in Web Author Toolbar menus

[hatchjk]

Is there an acceptable method for getting Web Author to recognize action.separator instances in Toolbar menus? Or, is there a way to generate action separation in Toolbar menus in Web Author?

Hello,

In Web Author some toolbars are built in and others are configured in the framework. For those configured in the framework, the action separators are displayed by default. There seems to be a problem with your Web Author deployment. Some information would be helpful to troubleshoot the problem:
- What version of Web Author do you use?
- Do you see any errors in the Chrome's Dev Tools? (Press F12 and go to the Console tab).
- Does this happen if you open a file that uses a builtin framework?
- Does this happen if you remove all the custom plugins (you can leave the ones that came with Web Author)?

Best,
Cristian

Cristian,

We're running Web Author 18.1, build 2016101802.

No errors being thrown to Console. We have no custom plugins deployed.

What I'm referring to is visibility of action.separator on drop-down menus from the Toolbar associated with the custom document type framework we've developed. The action.separators are visible on the Toolbar at the top (parent) level between action.groups, but not visible on any child-level drop-down menus.

Hello,

I was able to reproduce the problem regarding the toolbar separators. We are going to fix this problem in the next v20.0 maintenance build. Meanwhile, for your version, you can load the code below in Web Author [1].

Code: Select all

if (sync.api.Version === "v18.1.0") {

  goog.ui.ToolbarMenuButton.prototype.getChildCount = function() {

    return this.getItemCount();

  };

  goog.ui.ToolbarMenuButton.prototype.getChildAt = function(x) {

    return this.getItemAt(x);

  };

  goog.dom.appendChild(document.body, goog.dom.createDom('style', null, '.goog-menuseparator:last-child { display: none; }'));

}

Best,
Cristian
