create_document

ID: create_document

This brings up the Create Document wizard that guides the user through the process of creating a new document within a folder. This wizard is aware of the currently viewed folder and the current user and derives its behavior based off of those contexts. Newly created content is created as a child of the current folder.

Sample Code

var UI = require("ui");

var actionContext = {};
UI.startAction(observableHolder, "create_document", actionContext, function(err) {

    // if something went wrong, err will contain the error
    // otherwise, success

});

Configuration

This action derives some of its behavior from the configuration service.

Content Types

You can control which content types are available for this action by adjusting the content-types configuration block, like this:

{
    "content-types": {
        "remove": true,
        "items": [{
            "key": "my:article",
            "title": "My Article"
        }, {
            "key": "my:pressRelease",'
            "title": "My Press Release"
        }]
    }
}

Suppose, for example, that you have three content types:

• My Article (my:article)
• My Press Release (my:pressRelease)
• My News Item (my:newsItem)

Suppose you'd like to have a folder named My Articles that only allows Articles to be created inside of it.

You can achieve this by:

1. Setting the type of the folder to my:articlesFolder
2. Setting up the following configuration block:

{
    "evaluator": "context-document-has-type",
    "condition": "my:articlesFolder",
    "config": {    
        "content-types": {
            "remove": true,
            "items": [{
                "key": "my:article",
                "title": "My Article"
            }]
        }
    }
}
