You should add a custom folder context menu item configuration like the example in YAML format shown below, under each of the following configuration nodes:
/hippo:configuration/hippo:workflows/threepane/folder/frontend:renderer/hippo:configuration/hippo:workflows/threepane/folder-extended/frontend:renderer/hippo:configuration/hippo:workflows/threepane/folder-permissions/frontend:renderer
This is an example with ExampleExternalDocumentServiceFacade having embedded external
XML data in a classpath resource:
/exdocCategories:
jcr:primaryType: frontend:plugin
wicket.id: ${item}
// menu item plugin
plugin.class: org.onehippo.forge.exdocpicker.impl.folder.ExternalDocumentFolderActionWorkflowMenuItemPlugin
exdocfield.menu.icon: folder-configure.png
exdocfield.menu.label: Add External Documents...
// facade implementation
external.document.service.facade: org.onehippo.forge.exdocpicker.demo.field.ExampleExternalDocumentServiceFacade
example.external.docs.field.name: exdocpickerbasedemo:exdocs
See an example ExternalDocumentServiceFacade implementation code here:
https://github.com/bloomreach-forge/external-document-picker/tree/master/demo/cms/src/main/java/org/onehippo/forge/exdocpicker/demo/field/ExampleExternalDocumentServiceFacade.java
Put your own implementation class in your CMS module project.
See Javadocs for detail about the ExternalSearchServiceFacade.
You may configure the following plugin parameters in the folder workflow's frontend:renderer configuration node.
e.g, /hippo:configuration/hippo:workflows/threepane/folder/frontend:renderer.
| Parameter name | Description | Example value(s) | Default value(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| exdocfield.menu.icon |
Icon image name for the custom folder context menu item.
The icon image will be looked up from
the classpath:org/onehippo/forge/exdocpicker/impl/folder/.
So, if this parameter is set to "folder-configure.png", then you should put the image file into
the corresponding path in your CMS authoring web application.
e.g, cms/src/main/resources/org/onehippo/forge/exdocpicker/impl/folder/folder-configure.png
