Override and extension examples

You configure new evaluators via a web-extension/custom-slingshot-*-context.xml file, taking the form of bean definitions.  

You can use any of the out-of-the-box evaluators as parents to template from. For example:

<bean id="evaluator.doclib.metadata.hasExposure"      
      parent="evaluator.doclib.action.propertyNotNull">  
   <property name="property" value="exif:exposureTime"/>
</bean>

Client-side dependencies are specified in the share-config-custom.xml file using the DocLibCustom config section.

config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibCustom">   
   <dependencies>   
         <js src="/custom/exif.js" />   
   </dependencies> 
</config>

Extra status indicators are configured in the following way via the share-config-custom.xml file.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">   
    <indicator id="my-custom"index="10">     
        <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.indicator.myCustomEvaluator</evaluator>     
        <labelParam index="0">{jsNode.properties.owner.displayName}</labelParam>
    </indicator>
</config> 

Custom metadata templates are also specified in the share-config-custom.xml file, in the DocumentLibrary config section.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">   
<metadata-templates>      
    <!-- Photos -->
    <template id="isPhoto">
       <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.metadata.hasExif</evaluator>
       <line index="10" id="date" view="detailed">{date}{size}</line>
       <line index="20" id="exposure" evaluator="evaluator.doclib.metadata.hasExposure">
         {exposure exif.label.exposure}
       </line>
       <line index="30" id="description" view="detailed">{description}</line>
       <line index="40" id="social" view="detailed">{social}</line>
   </template>
</metadata-templates></config>

New actions can be specified within the share-config-custom.xml file as follows.

config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
   <actions>      
      <action id="document-preview-webasset" type="javascript"             
              label="actions.wcmqs.preview-webasset">
           <param name="function">onActionPreviewWebAsset</param>        
           <evaluator>wcmqs.evaluator.doclib.action.isPreviewable</evaluator>
      </action>
   </actions>
</config>

An action may be disabled across the whole application using the following configuration in a share-config-custom.xml file. For example the following config removes the “Upload New Version” action from users.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
   <actions>
      <action id="document-upload-new-version">        
          <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.action.disableAction</evaluator>
      </action>
   </actions>
</config>

Add an evaluator, used on an out-of-the-box action:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
   <actions>
      <action id="document-publish">        
          <evaluator negate="true">           
             wcmqs.evaluator.doclib.action.isWebsiteContainerType
          </evaluator>
      </action>
   </actions>
</config>
