11.4 Adding your own custom function

This section describes how to change the JSP file to implement the custom

functions mentioned in earlier section. You can use them as guidelines for

implementing your own custom modification.

248 eClient 101 Customization and Integration

Do the following to implement the custom functions:

1. Add combo entries in IDMSearchToolbar.JSP.

To add new options to the combo box, add the following source code to the

HTML in IDMSearchToolbar.jsp:

<!-- XYZ_CHG_BEGIN -->

<option value="XYZExportDocs">XYZ Export Document</option>

<option value="XYZViewWithPlugin">XYZ View Document with Plugin</option>

<!-- XYZ_CHG_END -->

2. Update the function doSelected() in IDMSearchToolbar.jsp.

When the user selects something from the combo box, the JavaScript

function doSelected() is called. The docselValue is the text in the value tag of

the option statements shown above. Update the source code as follows:

function doSelected(docselValue) {

switch (docselValue) {

case 'EditAttributes' : // Edit Document Attributes

parent.ResultsBottom.openUpdate()

break;

// XYZ_BEGIN_CHG

case 'XYZExportDocs':

//

// Call the JavaScript function in heading.jsp

//

parent.ResultsBottom.XYZProcessDocuments("export");

break;

case 'XYZViewWithPlugin':

//

// Call the JavaScript function in heading.jsp

//

parent.ResultsBottom.XYZProcessDocuments(

"display_with_plugin");

break;

// XYZ_CHG_END

case 'Email': // View Version Info

parent.ResultsBottom.emailSelected()

break;

3. Add the new JavaScript function in heading.jsp to process the selected

documents.

The source file heading.jsp primarily contains a list of JavaScript functions that

run in a browser as users interact with the search results window. When a user

selects an option in the search results combo box, JavaScript in

IDMSearchToolbar.jsp calls a JavaScript function in heading.jsp to perform the

action.
