Remote action plug-in

Remote action plug-in

Use the RemoteAction plug-in to reference remote actions from the web content. Remote actions enable you to trigger actions that are typically performed with the authoring portlet, such as creating and editing items and generating views.

Reference remote actions using plug-in tags with the following format:

[plugin:RemoteAction action=" " docid=" " useCurrentSelection=" " dialog=" " useCurrentContext=" "]

Attribute Description
action= Remote action to perform.
docid= Document ID of the item to run the remote action against.
useCurrentContext= If true, then the document ID is obtained form the rendering context instead of the docid attribute.
dialog= If true, when rendered within a web content viewer, the remote action is rendered as a URL. The URL redirects the user to a hidden portal page used by the viewer for inline editing.

Create a content item:
[plugin:RemoteAction action="new" 
                     type="com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Content" 
                     pid="com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_SiteArea/ID2" 
                     atid="com.aptrix.pluto.presentation.template/ID1" 
                     wcmfield.content.name="newcontent" 
                     wcmfield.autosave="true" 
                     wcmfield.saveValidate="true" ]
