Custom validation for Oracle Content Server

2011-03-24T03:36:00.000-07:00

I have been asked several times by customers what is the appropriate way to add a custom JavaScript validation when checking in a new Document or updating an existing one in content server. My answer is this:
Create a custom component and add a new resource. The name should be "clear_checkin_flags". Inside call on the super.clear_checkin_flags and then add your own checks. Here's an example:

<@dynamichtml clear_checkin_flags@>
   <$include super.clear_checkin_flags$>
   <$if strEquals(dDocType,"MyDocumentType")$>
       alert("The document type is not correct!");
   <$endif$>
<@end@>

Note that when overwriting the clear_checkin_flags you are already inside a <script> tag so you shouldn't repeat it in your code!
