Hi,
I’m doing some custom actions where I select a specific content item in the backoffice and then I have a custom modal that pops out. All works well but I’d like to find a way to limit when this action is available. e.g.
if I right click a node and it’s not of type “FAQPage” and/or it’s parent isn’t “AboutUsPage” then don’t display the action button “Copy to Locations”
async isApplicable(): Promise<boolean> {
if (this.args.entityType !== UMB_DOCUMENT_ENTITY_TYPE || !this.args.unique) return false;
// Check if the parent's contentType alias is "locationParent"
return true;
}
But that doesn’t let me check the selected doctype - from my understanding.
What you need is a custom condition. Each extension in the backoffice can have one or more conditions attached to it. And a menu item is also just an extension.
I made a condition for instance where I only want to show a workspace view if the entity is in the document workspace view (don’t want it in the media section for instance) and has a certain composition attached to it.
Or based on some custom logic, remove the delete button on certain nodes.
Thanks @LuukPeters that was really useful. I’ve now got a custom condition setup - following the docs, but I still cant see how I can check the docType of the content item or find a way to check what the parent is of that node.
Do I need to make a request to a custom API endpoint to then do something to find the parent node etc or is there a way to do all that within typescript and the condition?
Because my condition is pretty small, I can share it with you. I think it does exactly what you want. The contentTypeAliases also contain the aliases of compositions and in my case that’s what I needed.
