about Insertbar showif attribute behaviour

[andy81]

Hi,

I have created a new servermodel and I want to create some insertbar
objects for that model only. I know that the insertbar.xml has a "showif"
attribute. It requires me to enter a DW_enabler value. However all those
value are for default dreamweaver servermodel only. I find that in menu.xml,
the "showif" attribute require a script rather than the DW_enabler.
Unfortunately insertbar.xml don't support inputing the script into the
"showif" attribute. Is there a way to add a custom DW_enabler?
or anyone have other solutions?

Thanks

Andy

The documentation for the showif attribute lists out all the available
values for the insert bar. Given that I'm thinking that there isn't an
exposed way to modify those values, but not certain.

I'm sure others would want that as well, please ask for it:

I would be interested in hearing about your new server model, if you're
able to talk about it. Offlist is fine.

Hi,
I have create a JSF server model. At first I use the JSP server model
and create a JSF document type. However the updatePageDirective function of
JSP won't work on JSF document template. so I create a new model based on
the JSP one. Also JSF page have different preview behaviour.

There's an idea although the performance would not be good. We can
backup and modify the insertbar.xml by file IO and call dw.reloadObjects()
after the user open or create a document.
Is there any API to change the insert bar object programmatically without
need to reload from config file?

Thx.
Andy

Interesting (academically, that is as I'm not into JSP or JSF coding).
Based upon conversations with other developers, Server Models are the
hardest of the extension types to get to work correctly. Good luck with
this project.

You'd also have to check when the user switches documents, if they have
a HTML file and a JSF documetn open at the same time. Seems to me to be
over kill.

All reloading of extensions pulls in from the configs from what I
understand.

One workaround that I would probably end up doing would be to do a check
for you server model type within each of your objects and pop up an
alert if it can't be used with the current document type.
