Unfortunately, the CAS server needs to know whether javascript and
cookies are enabled and this info is harvested on the linking page via
javascript and passed via the form parameters (the form method is GET)
to the CAS server.
I don't know how to do this from a GenericSetup action registration.
It simply takes a URL which, while it can by dynamic, can't AFAICT
include javascript. Does anyone see how I can produce these urls from
action definitions?
Why not just have it point to a view that works this out and then
performs an immediate redirect?
Excellent idea. Thanks!
This reminds me of a post I made a few weeks ago that received no
replies entitled "Vertically Stacked Dynamic Links in Document Actions".
Maybe because it had a terrible title? :-)
Yes, it was a bit dense, huh? ;)
It's short, so I'll include it here:
#####
I want to get an entry on the document actions line that has multiple
links. Example: stacked on top of each other, "Atom Feed", "RSS2
Feed", and "RSS Feed", each going to a separate url. But I don't want
them distributed horizontally, as separate document actions would have
it. Also, they must be dynamic based on the context - folder A may
have all 3, while folder B lacks the RSS2 feed. I tried inserting
another viewlet into the manager, but so far haven't gotten it to
work. So I'm asking for advice...
This leaves me asking, "what did you try"... Did you fail to install a
viewlet? Did you fail to make it have the layout you want? There's not
enough information here to help you. If I ignored the post the first
time, it was probably because of the open-ended question. ;-)
OK, perhaps I wasn't adequately following the question guidelines...
#####
A viewlet can be made to work - as can a bunch of regular actions and
some creative CSS. At the end of the day, this comes down to CSS.
Ah, but, see, there *is* enough info to help! By merely saying it's
possible, I know that I should be able to figure it out. I thought that,
from the lack of reply, it might not be possible. Now I will redouble my
efforts. :)
I am guessing that, if I hit the similar problems twice in two very
different contexts in a few weeks, either I have a systematic
misunderstanding or there's a real challenge here. It seems to me that
it would be nice if actions were more flexible, to be able to render a
nested viewlet as well as a URL. This would give product authors much
more flexibility. What do y'all think?
I don't think it'd be appropriate to change the actions machinery for
this. If actions aren't flexible enough for you, you're most likely
going to be able to register a new viewlet, order it properly, and style
it with CSS.
So, yes, it was a systematic misunderstanding. Thanks, Martin!
